Sephora Who? 15 Makeup Products Under $10 That Won’t Break the Budget

Of BH Cosmetics

Some beauty essentials can be insanely expensive, as mass retailers like Sephora and Ulta always seem to leave us spending a lot more than we'd like to. And while all those state-of-the-art makeup and beauty buys always look killer on Instagram, some of these same buys can skip out on quality, making them gimmicky makeup buys we all regret purchasing every now and then.

To avoid any kind of buyer's remorse (it's OK, we've all been there), the next time it's time to shop for some beauty goodies, these makeup products under $10 are as just effective and still deliver clean skin and flawless beauty looks.

Another unseen advantage to turning to inexpensive beauty products? It's always acceptable to splurge on more than one beauty essential, meaning it's totally OK to snag multiple blender sponges, lash-enhancing mascaras, and finishing powders if the trusty makeup bag or beauty arsenal is looking a little dreary these days. 

To find only the best products (that actually work too!) under $10, we rounded up 15 makeup, fragrance, hair, and skin-care products that are anything but a total waste of money. Trust us, spring will be here very soon, which probably means it's the perfect time to part ways with the old mascaras and eyeliners anyway and make room for these priceless finds.
