Have you ever found yourself making sure you haven’t overdrawn your debit card right after buying new beauty products?

As most of us know, just a few products from Sephora or Lush can add up pretty quick and break your bank account. Even though this may be the case, we all want to look our best and achieve our best skincare routine so we end up taking our chances.

Here are a few products that I have found to be worth the buck!

 

Chanel- Le Teint Ultra Tenue ($60)

I have had oily skin my whole life, but this ultra-flawless compact foundation makes my skin look matte after a whole day outside or a night out. Although it is on the pricey side, a little goes a long way. I have been using mine for a few months and still have plenty of product left over.

Lush- R&B Hair Moisturizer ($25-$69.95)

I seriously don’t know how my curly hair survived the Illinois summer humidity before I started using this product. I’m not exaggerating when I tell you I’ve tried every possible hair routine to achieve a beachy, frizz-free look. The best part is it takes 5 seconds to apply and still looks flawless after just letting it air dry!

Clarisonic- Mia Fit Facial Cleansing Brush ($219)

This product has completely changed my skin for the better, and I have no clue how I ever lived without it. It has made me realize how much makeup wipes aren’t capable of considering the amount of dirt that is on my brush head after cleansing my face (gross, I know). Just apply your favorite face wash on the brush head, cleanse for 1 minute, and I promise every speck of makeup and dirt will be removed from your face. AMAZING!

Dior- Dior Addict Lip Sugar Scrub ($34)

If you’re looking for an everyday lip color that also moisturizes, this is your go-to! I just recently bought this lip scrub, and I am seriously obsessed. The color is a settle pink and stays on longer than most lip products I’ve used. I’ve always had dry lips, but ever since I started using this product, I have seen huge changes (and it has a cute color tint).

IT Cosmetics- Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream with SPF 50+ ($38)

Being a girl who breaks out immediately from facial sunscreen while also always getting sunburnt cheeks, this was a summer must-have for me. Not only does this CC cream give you the perfect light and summer coverage, but it protects you from all those strong and harmful UV rays! One of my favorite parts about this product is because it’s so light, you can apply it to your face with just your hands in 30 seconds. If you’re like me and your friends and family always complain about how long you take to get ready for everything, this is HUGE!
