7 Amazing Amazon Beauty Buys

By now, everyone has an Amazon Prime account and if you don’t then what are you doing? I love amazon for a variety of reasons. It’s literally a one-stop-shop. I can buy everything from snacks I need in my dorm to clothes, books, and if you’re home you can get your groceries through them. They also just bought WholeFoods and Prime members get a discount. Amazon is essentially Target but 10 times better and bigger. I personally hate shopping in-stores, unless it’s a first thing run to a store, so I love that I can order what I need and get it in two days.

Amazon has a list of amazing beauty buys and here’s 7 you should check out the next time you’re just casually browsing the site.

*Bonus: college students get a Prime membership free for 6 months and then after that its $5 / month compared to the 1-month trial and then a fee of $100 / year. This gives you time to figure out if you really need Amazon, but trust me you’ll keep it after the 6 months is up.

  1. Shadow Shields by Michelle Villanueva

It can be super annoying to deal with fallout from an eyeshadow palette. When I wear eyeshadow, I try to do it before my foundation. You could also use powder on top of your foundation, in case of fallout, and then brush away the powder when you’re done. However, who really has time to do all of that? That’s where Shadow Shields come into play. You can place shadow shields right underneath your eyes. This product has 363 reviews. Reviews love it and recommend it to avoid streaking, smudges, and fallout. This product comes in a box of 30. You can get 1 pack for $8.95, 2 packs for $14.95 or 3 packs for $19.95. You can purchase the shadow shields here.

 

  1. Etude House My Lash Serum

This product has about 650 reviews on Amazon. Reviews claim they use it with and without mascara. The product is said to promote lash growth. Since this is a product that goes near your eye, it’s important to be extremely careful. With a product like this, you want to be sure to get any excess serum off before putting it in your eye so you wont wind up with an eye irritation. This product has a price tag of $7 and you can get it here.

 

  1. Summifit 15 Pcs Professional Makeup Brushes Set

These brushes are seriously pretty. I can admit that I will buy a brush set, although I already have enough as it is, if they look super pretty. You can get an 8-piece set or the 15-piece set. The 15-piece set includes everything from a foundation brush to a lip liner brush. These brush sets can come in 3 colors and at 3 different price points. The 8-piece black and purple set will cost you about $8, the 8-piece pink rose gold set will cost you $5.28, and the 15-piece white rose gold set will cost you $13. You can check out these sets here.

 

  1. Nooni Lip Oil

Lip oils are a thing right now. A few years ago, I heard about Clarins’ lip oil and loved it. My lips tend to get super dry in the winter. I’m talking peeling all around my mouth and even my lips. It’s super gross. However, lip oils will give your lips a subtle lip color and moisturize the crap out of them. Nooni lip oil is a cheaper dupe for the Clarins. Nooni lip oil comes in 3 flavors, apple berry, apple mint, and apple water. Reviews love it as it has a thicker consistency and not a super strong smell. The apple berry and apple mint will run you $12 and the apple water will run you $15. You can purchase Nooni lip oil here.

 

  1. Cuccio Revitalize Cuticle Oil

Cuticle oil is amazing. It’s the one step, in the entire manicure process, I don’t ever skip. My nails are currently recovering from acrylics and I find that cuticle oil keeps my cuticles moisturized and I even like buffing it into my nail. What’s great about this one is that it comes with a dropper. This makes it super easy to dispense the product. This product has about 519 reviews and is Amazon’s choice when it comes to cuticle oil. Reviews love it as they state it is a lightweight oil that absorbs quickly but still keeps your cuticles moisturized. Cuccio’s cuticle oil comes in two scents. The milk and honey will cost you $7.69 and the pomegranate and fig will run you $7.76. You can purchase Cuccio’s cuticle oil here.

 

  1. Docolor Eyelash Comb

I personally have been having an issue with what seems like two of my eyelashes sticking together, after mascara is applied. This causes an issue for me since I wear glasses and often times things just feel weird. However, Docolor’s eyelash comb is said to be one of the best when it comes to separating your eyelashes after applying mascara. This comb has a shape that is extremely similar to an eyelash curler. This product has 619 reviews and is Amazon’s choice when it comes to eyelash separators. Reviews state that its an easy to use product and separates the lashes beautifully. This eyelash comb will cost you $4.29. You can purchase it here.
