Us girls know by now that it costs more than we’d like to admit to look presentable after staying up till 3am mindlessly browsing the internet. Add in the expenses of college, and the fact that there are plenty of other things we want to buy (clothes, shoes, jewelry…) and actually need to buy, our debit cards are emptying out by the swipes. Beauty products can take a toll on our wallets, but there are plenty of cheaper alternatives in the drugstores that we can get our hands on. Oh, and did I mention that all these products are under $10?! Yup, y’all better plan that next Target trip soon if you don’t already own these.
1. Elf blush – Looking a little pale and deadly in the morning? A flush of color on the cheeks can make a significant difference on how you look. And for $3? You can’t beat that.
2. Maybelline Baby lips – Not only do they smell delicious, but they also make your lips feel super moisturized and give you an extra tint of color. Yay, no more chapped lips!
3. Wet&Wild eyeshadow – Cheap price, but definitely not cheap on quality. A girl can never have too many eyeshadow colors to choose from.
4. Mascara – Mascara is definitely a makeup essential. Not only does it accentuate your eyes, but also makes them look bigger and more awake (you know, cause we’re all guilty of staying up for no reason).
5. Face moisturizer – You may think that a moisturizer may be a little more expensive than the products mentioned above. But now that it’s getting colder, the feeling of a dry face is the worst, especially when it’s windy. Moisturizing your face is a definite must during this time of year, even for those of you with combo/oily skin!
