10 Budget Beauty Finds You Need Under $25

10 Budget Beauty Finds Under $25 By Emily Godoy

Trying out new beauty products can be fun but they can quickly add up. While it can be very tempting to go into a makeup store and add a bunch of shiny, new beauty products into your basket, it’s not a very budget-friendly thing to do. Let’s say you do end up buying all those perfectly packaged products that caught your eye, you may not even use them all that much because they’re not everyday products.

Thankfully, there’s a great selection of practical drugstore and higher-end budget beauty products out there. I’ve rounded up 10 budget beauty finds that you need, all under $25. Some of these beauty products I own and love and I have gotten plenty use out of them. These budget beauty products make it easy to try out new makeup products or stock up on your skincare staples, without spending a fortune. It goes without saying that finding the right beauty products is hard, but I hope these 10 selections help you!

10 Budget Beauty Finds 

Makeup / Haircare Budget Beauty Finds 

  1. Honest Beauty Extreme Length Lash Primer And Mascara
    This mascara has a primer on one end and mascara on the other end and it’s only $14! It’s also made with natural ingredients which is always a plus. Considering the price and quality, it is definitely a must! 
  2. Origins Clear Pores, Hydrate & Glow Set
    Origins’ convenient trio makes it easy to try each face mask to see which one you like the most. Honestly, I have used each of these and they are all amazing! I’ll have to say, my favorite is the overnight mask because it’s essentially a rich cream.  
  3. Ouai Texturizing Hairspray
    After seeing this brand all over Instagram lately, I decided to try it out. So far, I’ve used The Ouai texturizing hairspray to hold my curls in place and I’m happy to say it definitely gives it more body.
  4. Bare Minerals Complete Coverage Serum Concealer
    Seeing as one of my favorite bloggers Julia Engel has mentioned this concealer in the past, I picked one up to try it out for myself. This concealer is so moisturizing. It feels light, yet gives the perfect amount of coverage.
  5. Flesh Touch Highlighting Balm
    When I popped into Ulta the other day, Flesh’s packaging instantly caught my eye along with this highlighting balm (I’m a sucker for good packaging). The amount of glow is just right without over doing it. It’s definitely on my wishlist… I mean who doesn’t love a good glow

Skincare Budget Beauty Finds 

  1. Australian Gold Botanical SPF 50 Tinted Face Lotion
    This is one of those products that you don’t think you’d ever need, until you try it and can’t go a day without it! This mattifying tinted sunscreen is my holy grail skincare product. In all honesty, I don’t leave the house without wearing it! 
  2. Burt’s Bee’s Complete Nourishment Facial Oil
    Believe it or not, I’ve heard facial oils can be used in place of moisturizer. Not sure if I’d swap, but this one seems like it’ll leave the skin nice and glowy! I know most of us would love a nice, glowing complexion.
  3. Too Cool For School Coconut oil Serum Eye Patch
    Good-bye dark circles? Yes please! Coconut oil in any beauty product is amazing, especially this one that moisturizes the delicate under-eye area. Considering the amazing price point, it seems like a great pick-me up skincare product to add to your routine.
  4. Acure Brilliantly Brightening Facial Scrub
    Made with natural sea-derived ingredients, this mask is absolutely amazing. As part of my skincare routine, I use it about 2-3 times a week and it leaves my skin feeling really fresh, clean and bright.
  5. Cerave Daily Moisturizing Lotion
    As part of a daily skincare routine, a hydrating moisturizer is an essential. This one is a must-have because it has hyaluronic acid which helps your skin retain moisture. Since I have sensitive skin, I prefer this moisturizer because it is free of perfumes or extra ingredients.
