    31 Things You'll Probably Assume Are More Expensive, But They're Not

    Bad and boujee on a budget.

    1. A vibrating facial cleanser that'll not only rid your face of the dirt hiding deep down in your pores. One reviewer said it helped them save 3x the amount of facial cleanser. All this for under $20? #winning

    2. A portable personal blender for on-the-go smoothies, protein shakes, or baby food. Just pop your food inside, and you can start blending while you're heading out the door. Not to mention how adorable it is.

    3. A pair of fleece-lined faux leather leggings to add a little edge to your wardrobe even if you are only wear them to channel Sandy's transformation at the end of Grease. *sings* "You're the one that I want, you are the one I want."

    4. A pair of sheer abstract socks all your friends will be drooling over. These unique socks are the perfect accessory to turn your wardrobe into a pop art masterpiece.

    5. A pair of low-heeled pumps for the days when you want a little extra height without the extra foot pain.

    6. A windproof umbrella designed to withstand the windiest of days but compact enough to slide into your bag without taking up too much room. This lil' baddie also has an auto open and close so you can feel extra fancy when you whip it out.

    7. A dew water cleanser that goes from gel to foam to give your skin a celestial glow after ridding it of dirt and other impurities. "Me? No, I'm not actually a unicorn, it's just my cleanser."

    8. A sake body lotion for an all-over silky-smooth feeling. It's made with fermented rice wine that's rich in enzymes to gently exfoliate and support your skin's moisture barrier.

    9. A one-step hair dryer and styling brush that'll shave major minutes off the amount of time it takes to transform your wet hair into a salon-approved style.

    10. A Roku streaming device to access thousands of movies and television shows right at your fingertips — perfect for newbie bingers.

    11. A bamboo chopping board that'll double as both a cutting board and a serving tray — a perfect backdrop for displaying your charcuterie skills.

    12. An adorable hanging car diffuser to jazz up the inside of your car with dainty decor that can also cover up the smell of that one random fry you haven't been able to find but the odor lets you know it's always there.

    13. A sophisticated slipcover in case you're looking to remix your old and dated furniture into a new modern piece. And, because it's a cover, you can remix it as many times as you want!

    14. A cold brew maker beloved by coffee enthusiasts that can brew 4 cups of coffee.

    15. An electric toothbrush designed to provide you with premium oral care in between visits to the dentist for a significantly smaller price than some other brands.

    17. An insulated BrüMate leak-proof stainless-steel travel mug made with insulation to keep your hot drink hot for up to five hours and your cold drink cold for hours. And, if you're a little clumsy, you'll appreciate the leak and spill-proof technology that'll save every drop of your selected beverage. It's also cupholder friendly!

    18. A hooded travel pillow that'll give you maximum comfort while back-seating it cross-country or when you need a quick 10 minute nap in the break room.

    19. A tin of Cerépil blue wax beads to keep handy for the moments you choose to groom. Reviewers say it's practically painless and gives you the same results at home that you'd get going to your local professional. You had me at ~practically painless~.

    22. A set of peel-and-stick tiles that'll reinvent your kitchen area for a fraction of the price it would cost professionals for an HGTV remix.

    23. A set of hair clips to mix and match for a variety of hairstyles and social occasions — even if that occasion is sitting in front of the TV.

    24. A John Frieda color-enhancing glaze for an at-home salon experience that'll deepen those tones to make for a warm natural brunette finish.

    25. A memory foam seat cushion designed to alleviate the strain that can result from sitting at the computer all day. Your back will thank you later.

    28. A Vivienne Sabó mascara for a classic mascara that leaves your lashes with a natural, deep, fanned look that is flake-proof. *wink, wink*

    29. A faux shearling coat because the winters can be brutal and you deserve to stroll around in a coat that feels and looks just as good as the ones you've seen all over Insta — without the high price.
