    30 Beauty Products Under $50 That Prove You Don't Need To Splurge To Get Results

    Finally, something you and your wallet can agree on.

    1. A vitamin E-infused nail hardener that'll prevent your talons from chipping and breaking. After a few days of use, reviewers reported seeing a reversal of damage from faux tips, Shellac, and excessive hand washing.

    2. This Moroccanoil volumizing mist that'll lift your locks right at the root and keep them that way all day long. Reviewers love that it never leaves their hair looking greasy or feeling crunchy, either, so you can go longer between washes.

    3. A shimmer-free highlighting balm that'll make you glow like the star you are. It's super easy to apply (dab-dab-dab!) and won't lift your makeup or leave it looking greasy and splotchy.

    4. A coffee-based body scrub that'll help you get your java fix. It uses ground Arabica beans, sea salt, and coconut sugar to slough away flakes and imperfections, and is gentle enough to use on sensitive skin.

    5. These invisible pimple patches that'll help you stealthily fight breakouts. They have a matte finish and tapered edges that'll blend seamlessly into your skin, so no one but you will know about that annoying pimple on your cheek.

    6. This nude eyeshadow palette that'll help you nail the "no-makeup" makeup look, while amplifying all your best features. It's packed with metallic, matte, and shimmery shades that are designed to flatter both warm and cool skin tones.

    7. This vegan hyaluronic acid serum that'll deliver intense hydrating results for a glowing complexion. The acid molecules actually attract and retain moisture throughout the day! It also makes a great makeup primer, since it's completely non-greasy and won't leave behind a sticky residue.

    8. A cold therapy ice roller that'll de-puff your skin, smooth your pores, and help all your expensive skincare absorb better. You can even use it to help in the fight against headaches and migraines.

    9. This acne-fighting facial oil that'll calm, soothe, hydrate, and help prevent scarring. The star of the show is the black cumin seed oil — it's naturally anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory, so it'll chill out even the feistiest zit.

    10. These oversized gold eye masks that'll give your entire eye area some major TLC (because undereyes shouldn't have all the fun). They're packed with hydrating hyaluronic acid and peptides that'll help give tired, puffy eyes a visible boost (no matter how late you stayed up binge-watching Netflix).

    11. A lip balm and scrub combo that'll buff away flakes and moisturize your pout. The stacked compact will take up a microscopic amount of space in your makeup kit, too!

    12. This all-natural foaming face wash that'll remove your makeup and cleanse your skin, sans any harsh soaps and chemicals. It's completely pH balanced, which means you can skip the toner after, too.

    13. A pack of collagen-infused sparkling water that'll support your skin from the inside out. Each can of fizzy goodness contains five milligrams of marine collagen, plus organic aloe vera powder to keep you glowing and hydrated all day long.

    14. An all-natural lotion stick that'll relieve itchy eczema, rashes, bug bites, and inflammation. It'll glide on easily and is packed with ultra-calming calendula and colloidal oatmeal, so you can go ahead and ditch those harsh steroid creams.

    15. This creamy exfoliant that'll scrub away buildup like a boss and leave your skin feeling clean as a whistle. Instead of microplastics, it uses rice grains and cherry powder (plus, some skin-loving acids) to help slough away whatever gunk is living in your pores.

    16. This leave-on lip mask that'll soften and smooth your smoocher overnight. Reviewers call it their Holy Grail of lip care, saying it's eliminated dry, flaky lips better than any other product.

    17. This Living Proof dry shampoo that'll suck the oil and dirt right off your hair. It has a clean, refreshing scent that'll mask any second-day smells, and it makes a fantastic texturizer for short hair, too.

    18. An Ilia mascara that'll give your lashes enviable length, without leaving them cake-y and flakey. The dual-sided brush makes it easy to separate each individual lash (even the teensiest ones).

    19. This deep-cleansing and detoxifying face mask that's made with mud from the Dead Sea, and will give your skin a healthy, smooth glow. It's not just for your face, either — the mineral-rich formula is fantastic for clearing up body acne, too.

    20. This Mario Badescu silver powder that's basically like a plunger for clogged pores. It may look like powdered sugar, but it's actually a powerful combo of kaolin clay, zinc oxide, and calcium carbonate that'll help to shrink the appearance of your pores, suck out the gunky build-up, AND mattify your complexion.

    21. A tube of handmade colour chalk that'll give you some highly-pigmented payoff, wherever you swipe it. Each shade glides on smoothly and won't lift your makeup during application.

    22. Or, this rosy stain pot, if you're just looking to add a healthy, shimmer-free flush to your eyes, lips, and cheeks. Thanks to organic ingredients like olive fruit oil, shea butter, and rosemary leaf extract, it'll actually condition and hydrate your skin, too.

    23. A cannabis seed-infused shine serum that'll lock in moisture and give you the glossy locks of your dreams — all while fighting frizz and humidity. It's incredibly lightweight, so just a few drops will do!

    24. A super-hydrating facial moisturizer that'll help even out your skin tone and texture, and protect your complexion from sun damage in the process. Plus, the tiny, light-diffusing particles will give you a gorgeous, lit-from-within glow the second you swipe it on.

    25. A peel-off nail mask that'll prep your claws for your next at-home manicure. It leaves behind an ultra-light moisturizing film that'll protect your talons from drying out and help them grow long and strong.

    26. This ingrown hair oil that'll halt those annoying bumps before they even appear. Antibacterial tea tree oil is paired with hydrating coconut oil to fight razor burn, redness, and post-hair removal breakouts.

    27. An mattifying facial roller that will help give your skin a velvety matte finish in seconds. The secret is the volcanic stone that actually sucks up all the oils on your skin's surface while you roll it over your face. Reviewers love that it's an environmentally-friendly alternative to classic blotting sheets!

    28. A bottle of cold-pressed chia seed oil that'll hydrate even the flakiest skin. Thanks to all the fatty acids, it's also incredibly effective at smoothing dry, crispy hair (without weighing down your look).

    29. These exfoliating foot masks that'll give you summer-ready tootsies in just a few days. Rough heels? Dry soles? This mask will help you ~shed~ all those common foot problems. Reviewers are raving about their baby-soft feet after just one use!

    30. And finally, a brow-enhancing serum that'll condition your baby hairs and help them grow in thick and luscious. The star ingredient is castor oil, famous for it's ability to promote hair growth (plus, a slew of yummy-smelling essential oils, like lavender and rosemary).
