I’ve been working on this list for awhile, and think I’ve finally come up with my big list of favorite beauty items under $25! That’s right, I’ve got 25 items all $25 or less (and there’s a ton under $10!) Take a look and let me know if any of these items are favorites of yours! (Just a note, there are some affiliate links included below, meaning I might make a few cents if you click on them!)
25 Favorite Beauty Items Under $25
- L’Oréal Infallible Pro-Matte Gloss – I love these rich, creamy glosses. The color is long-lasting, they’ve got lots of shades to pick from (I own several of theses!), and they’re around $8!
- Smudge Brush – This is great for fast eyeliner application!
- Tony Moly The Chok Chok Watery Cream– I use this green tea extract cream as the last step in my skin care routine! It’s right at $25, so it barely made this list!
- Goody Ouchless Hair Elastics – Santa puts these in my stocking every year, which is great, because it usually takes me about a year to lose them all! (I’m convinced they’re off living a great life with all my bobby pins somewhere.)
- L’Oréal’s Colour Riche Eyeshadow – I love, love these eyeshadows. They’re creamy with a powder finish and they have some gorgeous shades! The Cafe Au Lait, Paris Beach, and Quartz Fume are go-tos (base, highlighter and crease) and the Noir C’est Noir (black shade) I love to use a liner (see item # 17!)
- Pacifica Stress Rehab Mask – LOVED this mask so much, I’ve written about it before!
- e.l.f. Shine Eraser Blotting Papers – Perfect to control shine and just $1!
- Sephora Collection Contour Eye Pencil 12hr Wear Waterproof – I’ve got this in the shade Flirting Game, a shimmery taupe color and I love it as a lower liner.
- Garnier Micellar Cleansing Wipes – These are my go-to, especially when I’m too exhausted to head to the sink to wash my face!
- Sonoma Spa Ocean Spa Bubble Bath – I love bubble baths but take enough of them that I hate going through expensive bubble bath. (And I refuse to cut down on baths!) I found this 64 oz. jug at Walmart for less than $3! They’ve got some other good scents too!
- Burt’s Bees Lip Crayons – I LOVE these things. They go on like a lipstick but are creamy and really long-lasting! I’ve always got one or two of these on me!
- Lush Bubble Bar in Brightside – Like I said, I really like bubble baths! This bar smells AMAZING (mandarin and tangerine) and I break it up (just leave it in the paper bag they give you and break!) so I get five or six big chunks out of it.
- Mary Kay Lash Intensity Mascara – Speaking of, I need to order more of this! Still my favorite mascara I’ve tried in a long time! (You can see my full review here) Incredible mascara for under $20?? You can’t beat that!
- e.l.f. Shadow Lock Primer – I use this every.single.day without fail. My shadow lasts all day with no creases and this primer will only set you back $2!
- L’Oréal Infallible Pro-Contour Palette – Even if you’re not into contouring, grab this palette just for the non-bronzy contour shade! I use this pretty much daily and will continue to buy it! You can read a little more about it here.
- Sally Hanson Airbrush Legs – You might remember my post about this incredible product (if not, check it out here) but I’m still a fan!
- Sephora Collection Pro Angled Liner Brush #22 – Perfect for precise liner and smoothing pencil liner, I also use this when I want to apply an eyeshadow as a liner (gives you a great, smooth look! – See item # 5)
- L’oreal Lash Paradise Mascara– Another mascara I love, this Lash Paradise mascara gives me the full-lash look I love!
- Maybelline Coverstick Correction Concealer – You can read more about my reasons for using green concealer here, but this is the actual product I prefer.
- Burt’s Bees Renewal Firming Day Lotion – This is my go-to daily moisturizer. It gives me lightweight coverage and sun protection (spf 30)
- Goody QuickStyle Brush – This really does cut down on my dry time!
- Ciaté Mani Markers – You might have caught my review for this already, but just know I’m going to keep talking these markers, because I love them!
- Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz Pencil – My favorite brow pencil! (I use the taupe shade.)
- Slice Slanted Soft-Touch Tweezers – Comfortable to use and great for precision tweezing, this my favorite pair of tweezers I’ve owned.
- e.l.f. Kabuki Brush – I use this daily for blending my blush/bronzer/etc. and it’s fantastic. (And just $6!)
Anything you think I left off the list? Tell me!

I’m intrigued by that Goody QuickStyle Brush! I wonder if it works wells with super thick hair…
Such a great roundup of affordable beauty products! I’ve never tried the infallible lip products, but they look so pretty!
I can’t believe how much I agree with you. I love the L’Oréal contour kit and Lush bath bombs. I have just been telling friends about Airbrush Legs, especially when you live in a warm climate. Great post.
Burts Bees lip crayons are great! My everyday go to.
That charcoal mask looks fun and thanks for recommending the Kabuki brush by ELF gonna buy it soon!
Check back tomorrow, I’m sharing one of my favorite e.l.f. products to use it with!
Ooh that drying brush is very tempting!
I really feel like it helps with my dry time!
I had no idea that Burts Bees had a lip crayon!!! I have been buying a way more expensive brand because I looooooove lip crayons, so this is huge for me!!! So glad you shared!
They’re really great quality! I love them!
