10 Favorites Under $10

September 9, 2015

Love your beauty products but hate spending a lot of money?  There are some good quality products at the drugstores that are on the top of my list.  Since I love sharing my favorite products with you I thought I’d do a roundup of my 10 favorites under $10.  You can click on each picture for more information.

Biore Charcoal Pore Minimizer – I’ve been on a mission to reduce the size of my pores.  This inexpensive drugstore product is definitely helping my skin look fresher.  It’s a gel type of formula that makes my skin feel clean and exfoliated with being abrasive.

Milani Color Statement Matte Lipstick – LOVE this stuff! I picked up two different types of pink matte lipstick from this line.  They are both fabulous.  I feel like there’s a certain sophistication to matte lipstick.  Be sure to exfoliate the lips with a sugar scrub before applying your lipstick.

Covergirl Super Sizer Mascara – I received this mascara as a pr sample before it hit the market.  What an impressive mascara!  The brush is a unique fan shape.  I find that it easily coats all of my lashes and gives them a lengthened look.

Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation – I’m including this one in this under $10 category because you can easily purchase it on sale or with a coupon bringing it under $10.  This foundation is gorgeous on the skin for an airbrushed finish.  I love to apply it with a dampened beauty blender.

Neutrogena Naturals Purifying Pore Cleanser – I bought this product on a whim one day.  I was pleasantly surprised by the fresh fragrance of this cleanser.  It is so refreshing and leaves the skin feeling clean without any abrasive properties.

Clean and Clear Makeup Dissolving Wipes – I have been a huge fan of these wipes for years.  I use them to take off mascara and makeup as a pre-wash prior to using a cleanser in the evenings.  When in a pinch for time, I’ve used these on their own.  They leave my skin feeling clean and not sticky.

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream –  These lip products are available in so many beautiful colors.  They feel nice on the lips, give good color payoff and last a decent amount of time.

Real Techniques Blush Brush – This brand is my favorite for drugstore makeup brushes.  I use the blush brush almost every day to apply my favorite baked bronzer blush.

Eco Tools Konjac Pure Complexion Facial Sponge – This sponge is amazing!  I use it with every single cleanser that I own.  It’s nice for cleansing the skin as well as removing products from the skin without being abrasive.

Maybelline Color Tattoo – These cream eyeshadows are perfect for a single color look, especially when you’re in a rush.  I like the bronze one the best.  I can apply it quickly with my fingers, add liner and mascara and I’m ready to go.

What are some of your favorite beauty products under $10?

#ad Easy holiday glam makeup, coming right up… I #ad Easy holiday glam makeup, coming right up…

I wanted a festive makeup look that felt polished without being overdone, so I reached for L’Oreal Paris balms and embellishers for a pretty glow. I used a base color on my face and warmed it up with a darker shade for a little contour.

A bold red lip always makes the perfect holiday lip, along with dramatic lashes.

I used my favorite setting mist to help keep everything in place and make it last from day to night.

The best part? I picked everything up at @target and target.com making it super convenient. Grab yours now so you’ll be ready for the holiday season.

You can grab them here:

AD / COMPLIMENTARY TREATMENT: I received this DENS AD / COMPLIMENTARY TREATMENT: I received this DENSITY RF treatment at no cost in exchange for sharing my honest experience and review.

At 61, I’m always exploring ways to care for my skin and maintain a healthy, youthful-looking glow without surgery. This treatment caught my attention so I’m taking you with me to my treatment appointment at @orangetwist.alliance in Ft Worth, Texas.

So, what exactly is DENSITY RF?

DENSITY is a newer FDA-cleared, non-invasive radiofrequency (RF) skin rejuvenation treatment from Korea that uses controlled heat energy to reach both superficial and deeper layers of the skin. It combines monopolar and bipolar radiofrequency energy to help stimulate your body’s natural collagen and elastin production, which play an important role in skin firmness and elasticity.

What can it help with?
• Improving the appearance of loose or sagging skin
• Supporting firmer-looking skin and a more defined jawline
• Smoothing the appearance of fine lines and skin texture
• Encouraging natural collagen remodeling over time

There are no needles and no downtime. The treatment was comfortable most of the time with a few spicy areas, especially on my sensitive neck. My skin was a little red after the treatment, but that resolved within 30 minutes on my face and an hour on my neck.

While some tightening may be noticeable earlier, results can continue to develop over the following weeks and months as the skin produces and remodels collagen. Results vary from
person to person, and this isn’t an overnight fix, but I’m so excited to see improvements in my skin going forward.

I’m sharing my experience because I know so many of us over 50 are interested in non-surgical facial rejuvenation, collagen-stimulating treatments, and ways to support healthier-looking, mature skin.

I’ll be keeping you updated on my experience and how my skin looks over time!💗

Would you try the DENSITY RF treatment?

Save this post if you’re researching collagen treatments for mature skin that don’t have any downtime.⬅️

#ad As a woman over 50, I’m paying more attention #ad As a woman over 50, I’m paying more attention to my wellness routine and the little things I can do to support my body as it continues to change.

I’ve added two supplements from @ritual to my daily routine:

Ritual Perimenopause Hormone Support — designed to support women navigating the changes that can come with perimenopause. They’re formulated for women over 40 who are seeking hormone balance.

Ritual Essential for Women Multivitamin — to help fill nutritional gaps in my diet, because even when we try to eat well, we may not get every nutrient we need.

I also appreciate Ritual’s focus on ingredient traceability and transparency. And the good news? You can find Ritual at @target, too! 

Taking care of ourselves doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes it’s the small, consistent habits that make us feel like we’re showing up for ourselves.

#ad My morning skincare routine has gotten a LOT s #ad My morning skincare routine has gotten a LOT simpler over the years. I’m not looking for 10 different steps. Instead, I want products that are easy to use and easily fit into my everyday routines and @CeraVe has me covered.

Here’s what I’m reaching for lately:

• CeraVe Brightening Vitamin C Cleanser
• CeraVe Super Boost Serum with 3 Essential Ceramides — definitely my favorite step!
• CeraVe Brightening Even Tone Lotion for face + sensitive areas
• CeraVe Skin Renewing Brightening Lotion SPF 30 in the am for sun protection

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned that a skincare routine I’ll actually stick with is so much better than a complicated routine that ends up sitting on my bathroom counter collecting dust.

If you’re looking for a simple morning skincare routine for mature skin, skincare for women over 50, brightening skincare, or an easy daily skincare routine, this is a great place to start, and you can pick them all up at @target or on target.com.

Do you keep your morning skincare simple, or are you a 10-step kind of girl?🤔
