Now that we’re all on a budget because of the recession, here are some little luxuries that a girl can treat herself to without breaking the bank. My best beauty products under $10 are:
1. Trader Joe’s Nourish Spa shampoo & conditioner ($2.50-$2.99 each): Get both and you’re still WAY under $10. Each 16 oz bottle is chock full of expensive-sounding ingredients such as rosemary and citrus oil, and it’s sulfate-free! The shampoo and conditioner makes my hair soft and leaves a light but pleasing scent.
2. Neutrogena MoistureShine Lip Sheer ($7-$9): Perfect for those days when you want to add a little color but don’t want to look too made-up. My favorite color is Shimmer Blush. I have two of these and they are my go-to lip color. If you have a coupon you can get these lip glosses for even cheaper.
3. Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda Concealer ($9.99): An all-in-one set for you to look flawless. I haven’t personally tried this set, but the reviews are pretty darn great, so it might be worth a try if you’re in the market for a concealer set.
4. Sonia Kashuk Brow Kit Arch Alert Palette ($9.99): My Sephora brow powder is on its last legs, so I think my next stop will be to try this palette. The price is right, and the reviews are wonderful. Includes 4 shades & two small applicators. (Edit: I have purchased this palette, and I’m very happy with it).
5. Bath & Body Works Hand Cream in Warm Vanilla Sugar ($5 – on sale!): Lovely scent if you like vanilla. (I am also a sucker for anything with a name that sounds like it can be edible).
6. Boots Botanics Face Pamper Kit ($10.99): Okay, so technically this isn’t under $10. But cute little package is worth the additional 99 cents. Boots Botanics is one of my favorite brands at Target. It doesn’t irritate my skin and I especially love the scent. This set includes Quenching Face Mask, Day Moisture Lotion, Skin Brightening Deep Clean Gel, Skin Brightening Toner, Night Moisture Cream. A good starter / travel kit.
Makeup and skincare products don’t have to break the bank. Any of these six beauty products under $10 would work nicely.

Sunscreen. Look for titanium dioxide or zinc oxide in the ingredient list. Buy affordable sunscreen and apply it 30 min before you head outdoors. Reapply every 2 hours.
Suncreen will also save you money 40 years from now by preventing wrinkles, brown spots, and possible skin cancers.
This is actually $15, but has mineral concealer, blush, and foundation. So less than $10 each…. http://tinyurl.com/b2v8eg
As long as you can accept that mineral make up is a bit (a lot) messier than pressed powders. I really like it.
I love the vanilla bean holiday scent from bath and body.
I use the green tea shampoo & conditioner from TJ’s. Pretty cheap and I really like it.
I gotta check out the B&BW sale.
I’ve been reading your posts for the last couple of hours, and it all may be really informative and nicely written. I did want to let you understand that for some reason this post doesn’t seem to function in Internet Explorer. On a side note, I had been wondering if you wanted to swap blogroll links? I hope to hear from you soon!
