Sometimes finding beauty products can get a little pricey. When stepping in a local Ulta or Sephora, many of us are tempted to try new and often expensive products. However, there are many simple over the counter products that can make the same or a stronger difference. Here are some simple products that can ease your wallet and make you feel just as great.

1.      Want a New or Unique Lip Color?

Put some eyeshadow on your lips and then apply a simple lip gloss, and you have a new popping color!

 

2.      Cheap but effective Face Wash?

Witch Hazel is an excellent and natural astringent that lacks many harmful chemicals that affect the skin. It is usually found near the rubbing alcohol at the local pharmacy.

3.      Beautiful Lashes

Vaseline provides shiny and more voluminous lashes. It also helps them grow longer and faster if applied every night. If you want them even longer, add baby powder to your mascara!

4.      Want Softer Legs?

Instead of shaving with shaving cream, shave with any hair conditioner and see how silky your legs will be afterwards!

5.      Softer Lips

Vaseline also works well with the lips, making them smoother.

 

6.      Cute Nail Design

Paint your nails a solid color, let it dry then apply a band aid on top of the nail and paint it over another color to get a cute polka dot design.

7.      Effective Makeup Remover

Coconut Oil is a natural and effective makeup remover that makes your skin glow and extra smooth.

8.      Faux Thicker Hair

Brush some eyeshadow on your part to make your hair look thicker!

9.      A new blush color

Apply a tiny amount of lipstick and spread it out to get a new blush color.

10.  Get Rid of that Pimple!

Apply toothpaste to zap and remove that random but annoying pimple!
