    27 Target Beauty Products Under $15 If You're Low-Maintenance But Want High-Maintenance Results

    Work smarter, not harder.

    1. A Biorepublic T-Zen activated charcoal mask that utilizes activated charcoal and witch hazel to gently soak up oil and grime while aloe vera calms down any redness. The coolest part, though, is its shape: this mimics the shape of a person's T-zone, which is usually the area that can become most oily.

    2. A lip liner by Pink Lipps, which is one of my go-tos when I'm looking to sculpt out my lips for a poutier appearance (the way the #BeautyTok does these days). This formula stays on for a while, meaning you'll really just have to line your lips and then go about your day without worrying *so* much about re-application.

    3. A brow glue, because the days of using glycerin soap to achieve wispy, feathery brows are DONE! This brow glue locks brow hairs into place and comes in a convenient tube with a spoolie, so that you'll never have to dip your tools into soap ever again.

    4. A rosewater and aloe facial spray you can easily spritz on throughout the day to amp up your skin's glow factor. This spray contains rosewater, aloe, and herbs that keep breakout- and redness-prone skin in check and leaves you feeling extra refreshed.

    5. A set of vitamin C under-eye masks that'll brighten uneven tones under the eyes, while helping to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. If you need an immediate glow before an outing with your boo, you should totally get your hands on these.

    6. A silicone skin scrubber, aka a nifty tool that sloughs off dead skin cells from the skin on your face, body, and even lips! You can use this wherever you need some good 'ole exfoliation without causing damage to sensitive skin, thanks to its soft silicone texture.

    7. A cute little box of hydrocolloid patches in STAR shapes, because even though having a pimple might not be fun, wearing a pimple patch can be, especially if you use it to give your look a whimsical touch. 💫

    8. A texturizing sea salt spray — just because summertime is still a ways off doesn't mean that sultry beach waves need to be a thing of the past. Use this to add a carefree, wavy texture to your hair all year round.

    9. A three-pack of dermaplaning razors for whisking away dead skin cells in a flash! Dermaplaning is *fabulous* for exfoliating the skin, diminishing peach fuzz, and helping skincare soak in deeper.

    10. A Maybelline mascara that has cemented itself as one of TikTok's favorite lash-enhancing products, more than a year after first going viral! This mascara makes it easy to achieve full, defined, come-hither lashes with just a few strokes — clumps not included.

    11. A creamy jelly cleanser for those who are always looking to up their skin's glow factor. This gentle cleanser works hard to get rid of any grime or buildup sitting on the skin, while a tri-ceramide complex supports the lipid barrier.

    12. An oil-absorbing volcanic face roller TikTokers love because it's a sustainable alternative to blotting paper, soaking up excess oil, and diminishing shine throughout the day. Single-use blotting papers? Sorry, we don't know her anymore.

    13. A translucent heart-shaped claw clip for adding quirky pizzazz to your outfit while doing its job of keeping your hair out of your face! Who doesn't love things with both impeccable form and function?

    14. Bio-Oil that's a cult classic body oil people absolutely love for its ability to moisturize dry, flaky skin and diminish the appearance of scars, both old and new. If you're in the mood for glowing skin, this is about to be your new best friend.

    15. An E.l.f. contour palette, because it's been making rounds on TikTok for its ability to sculpt the face, add warmth, and up any makeup look! People love that this pressed powder formula glides onto the skin easily and rarely appears blotchy.

    16. A ceramide-rich overnight lip treatment to help you say goodbye to chapped lips, once and for all. Ceramides exist in the skin's barrier naturally, and they're your body's way of keeping the skin soft and plump. This will moisturize your lips while you snooze away, the taste of yummy passionfruit and chamomile on your kissers.

    17. A micellar water for the first step in your nighttime skincare routine — removing your makeup. This micellar water is great because it removes ALL makeup, including waterproof mascara! And the best part? Micellar water really only removes impurities, meaning that it's non-stripping and generally great for those with dry skin.

    18. A tube of Aquaphor, because hear me out — Aquaphor isn't just for fading scars or stowing into a diaper bag: It's the skincare community's secret to glowing skin! Many people use Aquaphor for "slugging," a skincare practice that uses an ointment after a nighttime routine to seal all the hydrating serums and moisturizing creams in. I've been slugging for the past few months with Aquaphor and, GEEZ! I've never woken up with softer skin in my life.

    19. A pore-minimizing primer, since there is no smooth and dewy makeup finish without a smooth base to your foundation! This primer is perfect for those who have prominent pores or oily T-zones that causes makeup to melt off as quickly as it went on.

    20. A soothing honey and almond gel mask to get your skin glowing. Honey works to deeply hydrate and soothe the skin, while its antimicrobial properties help get rid of breakouts. Clear and dewy skin for a fraction of the price of a facial? Sign me up.

    21. A cuticle oil, because the secret to growing long, strong, and healthy nails is a well-nourished root! And that means keeping the cuticles as moisturized as possible. Well, this oil contains vitamin E, which just so happens to be one of the best cuticle moisturizers available.

    22. A jade gua sha tool for those days when your skin looks and feels like it could use a little pick-me-up. This tool is great for moving stagnant lymphatic fluids under the skin that can cause puffiness, dryness, and even breakouts.

    23. A pair of exfoliating gloves aka the easiest way to get rid of ingrown hairs, help minimize keratosis pilaris, or just start your journey toward smoother, more radiant skin. Instead of awkwardly trying to loofah hard-to-reach areas, try these gloves that are as easy to use as simply gliding your hands across your skin.

    24. A liquid eyeliner because graphic liner looks and killer wings are still all the rage these days, but they're painfully difficult to perfect. Luckily, even novices can master a cut-worthy wing with this liner's easy-to-use stencil!

    25. A pro nail tool kit, in case you want to kick your at-home manicure up a notch! This kit has everything you need to make daisies, smiley faces, and even geometric shapes!

    26. A plumping lip gloss if you're SUPER inspired by Maddy's lip gloss look in Euphoria. Pair this with your favorite lipliner for some plump puckers.

    27. And a magic root cover spray, because there's concealer for your face — why not have a concealer for your hair? If you're in between coloring appointments and want to spruce up your roots for a meeting, dinner, or just for yourself, simply spray this and no one will be the wiser.
