5 Beauty Steals For Under $10
Jessica Fisher

Girls: We've all felt the same frustration. The feeling of wanting all the best beauty products, but not having the money to get some of the more expensive brands. We then settle for drugstore makeup, and of course get annoyed when the products poorly made or flat out doesn't work. I've been there, a lot. Don't get discouraged! You CAN slay the beauty game without spending a ton of money that we all know should go towards groceries. I've come up with five awesome beauty products that I bought at a great price and ended up absolutely loving.

1. W7 Eyelust Mascara


I bought this mascara as a last resort when I was away and forgot to pack my more expensive mascara. It's now my go-to mascara. I bought it at Marshalls, but you can find it at Walmart for $8, or $4 on Amazon. Whether you run to the store or order this mascara you won't be disappointed. I have always had trouble getting my eyelashes to look plump and long, without putting on too much mascara and getting a clumpy look. This mascara solved that problem. It leaves my eyelashes looking awesome without making me look like I have 10 layers of mascara on.

2. Biore Baking Soda Cleansing Scrub

This face wash is really interesting. It starts off as a powder, and you add water to activate the cleanser. Not only does it smell great, but it also leaves your face feeling extra smooth. What I really like about this cleansing scrub is how well it cleans, without the chemical smell or harsh sting. The baking soda components do a great job of clearing out blackheads and leaving your face feeling fresh without leaving your face feeling tight. You can find this product at Walmart, CVS, Target, or even Ulta from $8-$10.

3. Exfoliating Facial Pad

I found this pad at CVS, but you can also find it for $3 at Sally Beauty. The brand isn't too important, but the actual product is what's awesome. For whatever reason, I normally don't use wash clothes, but I saw this exfoliating pad and decided to give it a try. I'm so happy I did. The particular one that I have has an elastic band in the back, so it's really easy to use and wash your face. I wet the facial pad, put some of my baking soda cleansing scrub right on the pad, add a little bit more water to activate the cleansing scrub, and wash away. It's simple to use, and virtually you can use any kind of face wash with the pad.

4. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind

As any college student, I have dark circles under my eyes. Don't be weirded out by the name, what this treatment concealer does is erase dark circles, and it does a pretty amazing job when I wake up early enough to do my makeup before class. I also use this to conceal breakouts or dark spots. It works amazingly, even with my combination skin. I can't remember where I got this, but you can find it at Target, Ulta, or most drugstores between $7-$9.

5. Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

I have combination skin, so most makeup removers end up making my skin feel really oily and I end up breaking out afterward, which is never a happy outcome. I picked this up at CVS, sensing a trend? This is a new product, but what I like about this is that it's an all-in-1. It removes makeup, cleanses and soothes. It can be used for face, lips, and eyes, and best of all it's for ALL skin types, even sensitive. It's no rinse, and there's no oil, alcohol or fragrance. The first ingredient is water, so there's no harsh feeling and your skin doesn't feel dry or tight after using. Price ranges from $3-$4 and you can find it in Ulta, Target or most drugstores.

BONUS: Profusion Contour Kit

I got this contour kit from Marshalls for $5.99. Let's just say I'm obsessed and the highlight is amazing. The sad reality is that not all Marshalls carry the same thing. I went to try to find it online or look where else you could get it. Besides Profusion's website, I didn't have much luck. BUT don't fret, when it comes to contour kit's, or even highlighters don't feel like the higher end brands are the only one's that work. If you see one you might like in the drugstore, get it and try it! You can absolutely achieve that awesome contour and highlight with a kit that's not a high-end brand or one that's really expensive.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
