One reviewer wrote, "Doesn't weigh down hair, makes my blowouts last about two extra days."

A $10 serum that actually works? That sounds too good to be true, but in my opinion, it's actually a highly effective product that's also good for your budget. A shopper said, "Not only is this very affordable, but it will also help you save money on the amount of moisturizer you go through. My skin is soft as a baby's butt."

Backed by over 97,700 5-star Amazon reviews, TruSkin is a fan favorite. Formulated with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and vitamin C, it can help with collagen production, get rid of dark spots, and brighten your skin. I've used this lightweight formula before and found it gave my morning moisturizer a boost.

According to Dancing With the Stars' Rylee Arnold, "I'm obsessed with these face masks! My skin takes a beating from all the makeup, so I'm always trying to keep it hydrated."

For under $5 you can get this popular mascara that comes with over 263,000 5-star Amazon reviews. It delivers a false lash look, and this shopper reported, "The mascara's wand intricately coats each lash, providing volume and length without clumps. The result is a dramatic, yet natural-looking flutter that stays put throughout the day."
