Recent Makeup Discoveries Under $10

A very quick roundup of some amazing makeup finds under $10.

Makeup Finds Under $10

The Ultra HD Snap Nail Polish ($6; cvs.com) is a new launch from Revlon, a 100% vegan formula with a beautiful shade range. The formula is fantastic, dries quickly and is very glossy. I also love the wide brush and how opaque the cream formula was.

The Revlon So Fierce Prismatic Eye Shadow Palette in Tantrum ($7.99 ; ulta.com) is a gorgeous quad that launched earlier this spring. The formula feels like a cream and blends beautifully. I love the finish and the colors in this palette are what I’d gravitate towards since I prefer neutrals most of the time.

The Skinlights Prismatic Bronzer in Sun Kissed Beam ($8.99; target.com) is a pearlescent, prismatic finish highlighter that is formulated without parabens and fragrance. The formula is silky, goes on smooth and I also like this as an eyeshadow since it is a very flattering bronzy gold for my skin tone. The sheen is beautiful, not too much of shimmer or glitter, but not too subtle either.

The L’Oreal Air Volume Mega Mascara ($10; target.com) is a new discovery for me and I absolutely love the brush for length and separation. The formula is quite flake proof, but starts to smudge just a teeny bit around the 5 hour mark. On the plus side, it doesn't make my lashes too stiff or crunchy even after two coats.

The Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara ($8.99 ; target.com) has been around for quite a while, but I only got hold of it recently since it is almost always sold out everywhere and love it for length and separation, similar to the air volume. It is a thinner wand, so easy to get hold of short, stubby lashes as well.


 
The Maybelline Color Sensational Ultimatte Slim Lipstick in More Taupe ($8.99; ulta.com) is a super lightweight, airy lip color with a satin matte finish. More Taupe is a nude brown that is very flattering on medium-dark skin tones and the formula is not too drying, slightly moisturizing and overall comfortable to be worn over a lip balm.



Eco Lips makes some great lip products and their Intensive Overnight Mask ($6.49; ecolips.com) is a fabulous, thick yet non greasy lip mask. It's one I like to use before bedtime and the scent is not too overwhelming, yet quite fruity. The Hemp Vanilla Mint Plant Pod Lip Balm ($3.49; ecolips.com) is a plant based 100% plastic free lip balm tube that functions like a regular tube. It is a basic everyday lip balm with a minty flavour. The Coconut Vanilla Broad Spectrum SPF15 lip balm ($3.49; ecolips.com) is a great lip balm for summer, especially if you are out in the sun a lot and helps with chapped lips, sunburn and uneven pigmentation. It is zinc oxide based and also has olive oil for a nice amount of hydration.
