My Top 10 Under $10

I love to read posts and watch YouTube videos about inexpensive products that not only do what they claim, but go above and beyond what you expect. These are all products that I love and most of them I've purchased several times or gotten others to love and purchase as well.

Here goes!



  • This is a great face wash that I've purchased a couple of times. I especially like the one with makeup remover in it because I can tell that it's getting my face really clean. I also love the fact that it's a more natural product with less ingredients and that it's available in the drugstore. It's a gentle cleanser because of the fewer ingredients, but it is also great for acne prone skin like mine because it has natural salicylic acid.
  • I can't even tell you how many times I've purchased Caress body wash. You get a lot of product for your money, there are so many scents to choose from and all of the ones that I've tried are very fragrant and will stay with you a while after your shower. Also, these lather really well and a little bit of this will go a long way.
  • I think I've been through about 3 of these. Even though it's called "Nearly Naked," I think it has medium coverage, but feels light on the skin and has a natural finish. The texture is creamy and it glides on and blends in amazingly.
  • Quality doesn't get much better than this for $3. I love the compact it comes in and it has a large mirror on the inside and feels more expensive than it really is. Both the blush and bronzer are very pigmented. The bronzer, as the name suggests, is a great contour shade and the blush is a peachy-pink with a beautiful glow once it's on the cheeks.
  • This is one of those "10-in-1" products. A few of the claims are: softness, shine, smoothing and frizz control. I think it meets these claims, especially the softness and smoothing. When I blow dry my hair it dries so quickly and more straight than when I don't use it (saving me from having to use a straightener on it). I used it last night and today my hair is light and bouncy :)
  • I love these lipglosses, they're probably my favorite that I've tried out of every brand I've tried so far. They come in a ton of colors, they're smooth on the lips and they're pigmented. My only complaint is the packaging- the gloss leaks out of the top and gets around the cap and can be gloopy, but the actual gloss and applicator is great.
  • This product is listed on Amazon for $2.96 and up depending on how many you buy at once. I think you can also buy it from the Proactiv website. Basically, if you can get your hands on it you should try it. It is sulfur based, which I know sounds a little scary because most people are used to salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide for acne treatment, but I'm telling you guys this stuff is magical. I don't use it as an all over face mask, just as a spot treatment and whatever you have will be significantly reduced after leaving it on for a night.
  • I was tired of using a liquid eye makeup remover because I didn't feel like it was doing a great job. I imagined using a product that would just melt all of the makeup off and I could wipe it away easily, it's hard to explain, but I didn't think it existed. I perused the skincare aisle one day and saw this product, but thought the concept was strange...a lotion? on my eyes? I wasn't sure about it then, but I love it now. It's so easy to use, you just rub it on your eyelids until you look like a panda and you wipe it away with a makeup wipe or a cotton pad.
  • This is a great lotion for the body. It smells great, it's a huge bottle with a pump, is very moisturizing and best of all it is formulated without parabens, phthalates, is not tested on animals, and contains no animal ingredients. The scent lingers, which I like, it sinks in quickly and isn't greasy at all.
  • I have the chocolate one, but it also comes in black, which I haven't tried but considering how good the brown is, the black is probably a winner as well. What I like about this eyeliner is that it makes application on the top lashline very easy. I'm not great at applying liner on the top lashline and what makes this one so easy is the the thin brush on the end with longer brush hairs, you're able to start thin and get thicker as you want, which I feel like prevents mistakes.

So that's it! Those are my Top 10 Beauty Products under $10! Let me know if you guys have any of these products and what you think about them or if you have others that I should check out!

    1. You should! I have trouble with felt tip liners because I feel like they're too stiff. It seems strange but I like for the brush to have some give!

    1. I used to use the Proactiv 3 step system, but it's too harsh for my skin now. The sulfur mask though, is SO good and is the only thing I still use from the line :)
