    Paying less and getting more >>>

    1. A collagen-coating hair treatment because your dry, damaged, and overprocessed strands could use a little TLC. This reparative five-minute hair mask will revive your mane and leave it soft, silky, and smooth.

    Promising review: "I absolutely recommend this product. My natural hair color is almost black and at the moment it’s been bleached up to white. Obviously my hair was super dry and damaged after all that, so I found something cheap for a quick fix and I can honestly say I was pleasantly surprised. My hair is so much softer after using this. It’s also way less frizzy. This is a STEAL. If you're thinking about this pleassse get it." —Sydnie Falcon

    Get it from Amazon for $9.60.

    Read our Elizavecca CER-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment review to learn more about why my colleague calls it, "the miracle product I've been searching for."

    2. A CeraVe hydrating cleanser for folks with dry skin who don't want to faff around with a million different products.

    Promising review: "Excellent cleanser, very moisturizing! Absolutely a steal for the price." —Monica Foster

    Get it from Amazon for $15.48+ (available in two sizes).

    3. A shea butter–infused cream-to-powder E.l.f. multistick to replace your blush, lipstick, *and* eyeshadow. It'll melt into your skin like an absolute dream, giving you the perfect pop of color.

    Promising review: "Whether I'm using it on my eyes, lips, or cheeks, the formula glides on effortlessly, leaving behind a beautiful and natural-looking flush of color. It is incredibly versatile and can be built up for a more intense look or sheered out for a subtle hint of color. I love how it effortlessly enhances my features and gives me a radiant, lit-from-within look. Once applied, it stays put throughout the day, without fading or smudging. I can confidently wear this product all day without worrying about touch-ups. I love how it saves me time and space in my makeup bag, as I can easily create a cohesive look using just one product. It's perfect for on-the-go touch-ups or for those days when I want a quick and effortless makeup look. The quality and performance of this multi stick rival that of much more expensive brands, making it an absolute steal." —Danielle Knox

    Get it from Amazon for $5 (available in seven shades).

    4. A dry shampoo powder if you're looking for a travel-friendly option (it's a powder, not an aerosol can) to mattify your roots, absorb excess grease, and help extend the life of your hairstyles between washes.

    Promising review: "I’m a big fan of dry shampoo and have been through my fair share of product testing and let me tell y’all, this is the holy grail. I was initially a little off put by the price thinking it was slightly more expensive than what I’d usually spend but not only for how well it works but the amount of product it’s actually a steal!! Since it’s just the powder itself rather than the can of spray filled with all that junk you get so much more out of it. I haven’t even finished my first container and it’s been months. To add onto the lasting ability it works so well I don’t have to use as much or often. It takes me from messy old greasy hair to looking like it’s freshly washed in seconds. I suggest putting it on before bed to let it settle on your sleep, but you can also do it right before walking out the door and get amazing results. I just tend to need to clean up the white marks some when I do it like that." —Caroline Wagner

    Get it from Amazon for $16.

    5. A multi-use skincare oil so you can say bye bye to uneven skin, stretch marks, and acne scars. It helps your body retain moisture (see ya later, dry skin!) and absorbs into the skin fast so you won't feel greasy.

    Psst! Bio-Oil contains retinol, which accelerates skin turnover but can make you more sensitive to the sun — so don't forget your sunscreen!

    Promising review: "A steal! Where have I been? I love this product for how it smells, makes my skin feel after washing my face, and how it is treating my uneven marks on my face. I use it on other problem areas on my skin as well. Price is right and I will be a repeat buyer." —Wendy Nelson

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    6. A Neutrogena gel cream made with hyaluronic acid that'll turn your cells into moisture-attracting sponges that slurp up hydration.

    Promising review: "This is a steal! After searching and searching and testing out any product I would think would work, I finally tried this out. So glad I gave it a go because there’s no turning back. Improves the look of my acne scars and seals in moisture, making makeup look nearly flawless. Hope this one never goes off the market!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $18.44.

    7. A smudge-proof lip tint because some days you want to rock a beautiful flush of color on your lips but have absolutely no desire to whip out the lip liner and two different shades of red lipstick only for the color to completely disappear after lunch. This long-lasting stain will give your lips a juicy pop for the whole damn day.

    before photo of a reviewer with bare lips
    after photo of a reviewer with a pink-red lip stain

    Reviewers also like using it as a cheek tint — we love a 2-for-1 product.

    Promising review: "It has a nice red stain that lasts about seven hours without reapplication. For the price, I think it’s a steal." —J. Xu

    Get it from Amazon for $6.88+ (available in six shades).

    8. Or a creamier long-wear liquid lip for a budge-proof formula that packs a punch when it comes to color payoff and longevity.

    Promising review: "This lip stain lasts a long time. When it fades it still has a soft natural color to it that enhances your lips. Definitely worth the money and honestly a steal for the price." —Amber Williams

    Get it from Amazon for $9.90 (available in 43 colors).

    9. A potent matrixyl 3000 serum (ooooh fancy!) to hydrate, repair damage, boost collagen production, improve skin texture, firm, and even out pigmentation.

    Promising review: "I have to say that after only two weeks of using twice a day, it is a great product and is well on it's way of becoming my new fave and replacing my old serum. I love that it firms, reduces wrinkles and sags and has actually has taken care of some other skin conditions I've had for years (underlying acne) that I could never get rid of. You do need a moisturizer after applying this product (I like using a glycolic acid cream) but everyone's skin is different. You can't beat the price and the generous bottle. What a steal. Get this product, you won't be sorry." —C. Watts

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in four sizes).

    10. A hair removal device if you're looking to permanently reduce hair growth at home and skip the $$$ laser hair removal treatments.

    the same reviewer after 10 weeks showing their armpit hair is much thinner

    It's safe to use on your bikini line, upper lip, chin, face, armpits, back, chest, stomach, arms, and legs. Do not use it on your eyebrows or on tanned or tattooed skin.

    Promising review: "Worth so much more than $90! What a steal! I've used it a few times and already see a difference. I shave once a week now. Great product and well worth the money. I had gotten professional laser for thousands of dollars about nine years ago and it all ended up coming back in a year or so. It was a total waste. At least with this even if that happens I'll have the device and can just do touchups as needed! I'm so glad I bought this!" —Erica

    Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (clip the $30 off coupon for this price).

    11. A color-depositing conditioner so you can skip the hassle and mess of at-home box dyes or the hefty price tag of a salon visit. Each time you wash your hair using this conditioner, the color will become more vibrant.

    the same reviewer with ginger hair

    Promising review: "I work at a hair salon and that makes it surprisingly hard to find time to get my hair done. My mentor gave me highlights with a red glaze on top. Anyone who colors their hair red knows how fast it fades (VERY). Got this to revamp my red in between glazes. It went above and beyond expectations. Firstly, the red was sooo vibrant and brighter than a glaze. It also lasts only a little less time than a normal glaze for me. I used to box dye my hair for almost 10 years and this is easier to apply than that. I got SO many compliments in and out of work. I got about four applications out of it. For $23 that is a steal. It’s less mess than box dye because it is thicker. I have been beyond impressed and am about to buy another bottle." —Emily M.

    Get it from Amazon for $22+ (available in 11 colors).

    12. A skin spatula that'll help remove blackheads and de-gunk pores using high frequency vibrations. This can also help your skincare absorb better since your pores won't be blocked with debris.

    reviewer's before and after three days apart and you can see that the spatula helped improve the texture of their face and made their skin look smoother

    Promising review: "Great results! Washed my face, kept my face damp/moist, and used the cleaning setting. I was able to get into my pores, especially around my nose creases, along with between my forehead and chin! Love this product! Can’t wait to see how much better my pores will get with continuous usage. Plus the cost is a steal!" —coco

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three colors).

    13. A teeth-whitening pen because it's a heck of a lot quicker (and tastes a lot better) than those irritating whitening strips that slip and slide all over your teeth. You can use each pen ~20 times and should expect your teeth to lighten four to eight shades.

    Promising review: "This product is a steal. 💰👍🏼 Well worth the money. There was no teeth sensitivity, it was easy to apply, and after about a week I started to notice results. 10 out of 10 would recommend. Will be buying again!" —Rose

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $18.95.

    14. A pack of 24-karat gold collagen eye masks for fooling everyone into thinking you got eight restful hours of sleep. These gold eye masks are rich in collagen and hyaluronic acid that bring back much-needed moisture and elasticity.

    before and after showing the eye masks helped reduce dark circles under a user's eyes

    Promising review: "Loving these patches. They're so relaxing to wear and good for at-home spa days! Compared to expensive brand name creams I feel like these patches work better. The patches stick well to your skin and don't move much despite not using an adhesive, I think they stick using the gel that is absorbed into your skin. After I took them off, my skin didn't feel greasy or sticky either. 20 patches for this price is such a steal!" —Elizabeth

    Get 15 pairs from Amazon for $8.97 (also available in packs of 20 and 30).

    15. Or an overnight CeraVe eye cream to help reduce under-eye puffiness and dark circles, as well as help hydrate and calm tired skin.

    reviewer before using eye cream and the skin under their eyes is dark
    the same reviewer after using the eye cream and their under eye skin is much brighter and less puffy

    Promising reviews: "Great moisturizer for sensitive skin and the price is a steal. I’ve used the face moisturizer for years. So happy to find their eye cream. Where have I been?" —Amazon Customer

    "I think out of the hundreds of products I've bought, I've written maybe five reviews. Most of those were bad reviews. 😅 THIS review, is like the 10 gold stars of reviews. I LOVE THIS EYE CREAM! I have a pretty nasty bag under only one of my eyes. Within four days, that bag is GONE! I don't know how, but it is. The area around my eyes is softer than it's ever been. Even makeup looks amazing now. It no longer settles in those pesky fine lines. I wish I could find a cream that made my entire face this soft. I microneedle, I've done TCA peels, I'm obsessed with Korean skincare, but NOTHING has ever given me such results as this eye cream. The area around my eyes feels like silk. BUY THIS EYE CREAM! You won't be disappointed." —Emily Hunter

    Get it from Amazon for $12.97.

    16. And a Maybelline concealer if it feels like the millionth Monday you've woken up wishing it was still the weekend. At least you'll look fresh, well-rested, and ready to take on the day.

    Promising review: "As a mom, this is a steal!! Easily the best concealer I have ever used. Has amazing coverage, lasts all day, and isn’t heavy! Light weight with power behind it! It doesn’t cake and completes my daily look wonderfully." —Alicia O.

    Get it from Amazon for $8.79+ (available in 14 shades).

    17. A foot file so your heels are in sandal-ready condition. Rub gently and watch the dead skin and calluses fall like shredded cheese to reveal baby soft heels.

    Promising review: "Honestly, I’m going to be blunt...this product is AMAZING!! I’ve struggled with dry, cracked, peeling feet for such a long time! I always thought it was bad lotions, lack of moisturizer or wearing socks for prolonged periods and I’ve tried EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYYYTHING to try and fix my feet. Hiding behind sneakers in the summer, packing lotion on or wearing socks to bed with my man is no longer needed. This product is NEEDED in your life. No bs. I’m obsessed and I want to order one for every one in my family with dry feet like me! DO NOT regret buying this. It was a steal!" —Natalie Gomez

    Get it from Amazon for $9.95.

    18. A cruelty free vitamin C serum that'll give your skin a much-needed pick-me-up. Just listen to the 91,000+ people who gave it a 5-star review: this stuff brightens, softens, and dramatically fades hyperpigmentation.

    Promising review: "I suffer from sensitive skin and the occasional breakout. I have bad pigmentation, dry skin, uneven skin tone. I used a hyaluronic acid serum and a vitamin C serum separately but was spending $50 for both. Then found this and omg. I know I’m not supposed to be touching my face so much but it’s so satisfying to feel so smooth and after one use my skin is glowing. This is a steal!! I love it!!" —TRH

    Get it from Amazon for $21.97.

    19. An extreme hold eyebrow gel because it gives your brows that laminated look, offers 16 hours of hold without looking crunchy, and doesn't leave behind white flakes. Sweat and water, mortal enemies of brow gels everywhere, meet your match!

    Promising review: "I'm not a big spender and I've had such a hard time finding an inexpensive eyebrow product that works. This was truly amazing! My eyebrows stay in place and look great! Definitely try. Total steal with the price too." —Linda Ryno

    Get it from Amazon for $7.40+ (available in five shades).

    20. A pack of Schick dermaplaning razors for taking care of stray hairs the minute you notice them. Reviewers also say they're great for shaving peach fuzz so makeup applies more evenly.

    Promising review: "Phenom microblading tools for a steal! I've used other ones and have actually hurt myself on accident using them, but these are wonderful in their design, and if you know the planes of the face and have a nice face oil then you're in for a treat. They even come with a cap for the blade, which I thought was neat!" —Riley

    Get a pack of three from Amazon for $5.87.

    21. An Etude House drying powder to help control your skin's oil production and keep your face from looking greasy. You can also apply it to your hair (make sure you dust off the residue) so your roots look freshly washed.

    Some reviewers apply it before their makeup while others find it works best on top of their foundation. You may need to experiment to find the right order for you.

    Promising review: "I have such oily skin especially living in Florida. I am always using powder to hide the shine and this powder is amazing. I’ve gotten two so far and I’m very happy! I used high end products like Laura Mercier setting powder, which is $40, so this is a steal and works better!" —CAROLYN

    Get it from Amazon for $7.50.

    22. A pack of clinical-strength antiperspirant wipes if you sweat profusely. These are designed to protect you from excessive sweating for up to seven — SEVEN! — days.

    These are very strong so patch test them first to see if your skin can handle them.

    Promising review: "Have combatted excessive underarm sweating for years. No rhyme or reason to why I sweat — not during excessive exercise, not necessarily when I'm stressed out, not just because it's warm. Almost always happened in social situations, even when I wasn't nervous. So tired of buying and wearing only black shirts! I was hoping and praying that this product would work for me, (it would be just my luck if it didn't.) It worked like an absolute charm. Now I'm not self-conscious about lifting my arms or wearing light-colored clothing. My wardrobe options have multiplied by a thousand! This problem has been plaguing me as long as I can remember and always been a source of insecurity and embarrassment. And $19.99 every couple of months is total steal for all the peace of mind this product has brought me. If you've come far enough to read these reviews, don't wait any longer and ORDER IT!" —MF_WA

    Get 10 wipes from Amazon for $19.99.

    23. A set of face mask brushes so you're not transferring yucky bacteria into your pots and tubs of cream and serum by using your fingers to scoop out product.

    Plus, their silicone bristles help prevent breakouts (fingers = bacteria) and are easier to clean than traditional brushes and distribute product more evenly!

    Promising review: "I love these! I no longer dread putting on my face products. I was using my fingers to apply the product to my face, it was so messy and got in my nails too. When I came across these silicone brushes I knew I had to have them. They are amazing and the low price is a steal. These brushes really changed my routine. I use my facial products more often because I'm no longer worried about the annoying mess. The silicone brush is very flexible and spreads the product on my face nicely. Cleaning the brush is a simple task, just rinse and pat dry. Highly recommended!" —Wells

    Get a pack of two from Amazon for $5.38.

    24. A 3-in-1 hot tool with interchangeable heads that'll style, curl, and volumize — for the jaw-droppingly low price of less than $15.

    reviewer with loose waves
    another reviewer with sleek, straight hair

    It comes with a smoothing concentrator head for precise drying, a 1.5-inch brush head for volume, and a 1-inch brush for curls and waves.

    Promising review: "This thing is a must! It works so well and makes your hair looks bouncy and voluminous! I have medium length hair and wavy. I washed it, blow-dried my hair a little so that it wasn't soaking wet, and used this! Looks like the best blowout! AND the price? It's a steal! I wasn't expecting so much!" —Nadja Navedo

    Get it from Amazon for $12.45.

    25. A cruelty-free lengthening mascara because you're tired of mascaras that don't live up to their promises. This one won't let you down — I promise! It's lightweight, won't transfer, doesn't smudge, and lasts all day. Consider your expectations exceeded!

    Promising review: "For someone who doesn't love wearing makeup, I love this stuff. The application is super easy, and it really makes my eyelashes look longer/fuller than any other kind of mascara I've tried (all of the expensive ones like Chanel). For $4.99 this is a steal! This is the third time I've purchased it and will continue to do so." —Talkathon

    Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

    26. A triangle powder puff for that airbrushed look. You can use it with wet or dry products, but reviewers swear it's the secret to applying setting powder that isn't cakey and doesn't crease.

    Promising review: "I gave into the hype and no longer use my blender or brushes. My make up looks flawless. This is definitely a must-have and a steal for the price." —Amazon Customer

    Get a six-pack from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in 15 color combinations).

    27. A powerful glycolic acid peel to help improve texture, reduce fine lines, and soften skin. Glycolic acid helps sort of unglue skin cells, so the softer, brighter layer underneath can emerge. But it can be a bit irritating to your skin so start slowly — especially because this peel also contains retinol, a collagen-boosting ingredient that can make your skin more sensitive.

    the same reviewer after using the peel consistently and the pitting on their cheeks has lessened dramatically

    Promising review: "I'm 31-years-old and I have always taken great care of the skin on my face but have not focused as much on my neck and chest. As I started to see fine lines on my neck and my chest but none on my face, I started to worry what the difference between them would be 10 years and 20 years from now. I spend a lot of money on at-home facial products and also in-office treatments, but for the spots and wrinkles on my neck and chest I did not yet want to spend a lot of money. Long story short, I bought this peel. I never write product reviews, but it's absolutely amazing. It does burn a little, but it's not intolerable. My skin was irritated at first, but now that I am three weeks in, it looks amazing. I am going to start using it on my face one time per month and canceling my in-office peels. For $34, this product is more than a steal." —JW

    Get it from Amazon for $29.95.

    28. An eyeliner stamp if you're looking to simplify your winged liner routine. One end is a triangular stamp for the wings, and the other is a felt tip to connect the wing to the inner corner.

    Promising review: "I’m a huge makeup person and have found my favorite product for everything except eyeliner. I ordered this eyeliner because I’ve seen a number of eyeliner stamp styles but I didn’t want to shell out $30 for something that might not work. To my complete and utter surprise, this eyeliner is the best eyeliner I’ve ever used. EVER. Eyeliner will come off in the corner of my eyes with any eyeliner or smudge around throughout the day (I have oily lids and very watery eyes!). I’ve used Kat Von D, IT Cosmetics, Tarte, MAC, NYX, and many many more. This liner has stayed all day and make my routine SO MUCH QUICKER! Not having to redo a wing because the angle is wrong is a life saver! It’s a steal for this to be only $13 for a product that outdoes any $20 liner I’ve ever tried." —Josephine

    Get two from Amazon for $11.98 (available in three sizes).

    29. A refreshing Mario Badescu rosewater facial spray so you can refresh yourself anytime, anywhere — whether that's after a grueling workout or three hours on the couch.

    30. A powerful benzoyl peroxide body wash that'll tackle buttne, backne, and cystic breakouts. Benzoyl peroxide is an antimicrobial agent that targets the bacteria on your skin that causes acne and also helps clear out your pores.

    Promising review: "Great product, don’t hesitate. Good for acne, folliculitis, boils, and ingrown hairs. Immediately when I put the product on my redness decreased significantly. I have acne on my bum and neck , I just apply it in the shower let it sit for a minute or two and rinse well , this product is amazing and a steal for the price." —K.dot

    Get it from Amazon for $21.98+ (available in two strengths and two sizes).

    31. A scalp massager because a relaxing scalp massage is great for getting that blood flowing to your head while simultaneously breaking down buildup (hello hairspray and dry shampoo) that's making your hair oily and difficult to style.

    Promising reviews: "A steal! Such a great price. All the other ones are $15+." —Amazonian Customer

    "I saw this little thing all over TikTok and everyone swore by it. To be honest, they’re right and I now swear by it. It’s perfectly soft and sturdy to massage the scalp. Works shampoo into roots, helps with dry skin and such. I absolutely love it and I use it every time I wash my hair. I most definitely would recommend to anyone. Don’t hesitate." —Z
