Here at TBF, we don’t think you should spend more than $10 on a lipstick (unless, it’s MAC, cause we love MAC). However, not all budget lipsticks are created equal. Below, we’ve rounded up our favorite lipsticks all under $10. All of these products have either been featured on our Web site before, rated highly on drugstore.com, or used by TBF staff personally.

It’s so easy to spend more than you need to on hair products. One trip to the salon can have you convinced that $30 shampoo is necessary for your hair’s health. But there are a ton of inexpensive products that can nourish and protect your hair just as well as luxury brands. We say don’t buy into the hype.
From dry shampoo to glossy shine sprays, the choices can be overwhelming. So, we’ve gathered five of our favorite hair products all under $5.

Some of us have awesome hair. Some of us have incredible figures. My superpower is my ultra-long eyelashes, so I’ve been obsessed with mascara for quite a long time. That being said, I’ve tried almost every product under the moon. When you choose mascara, it’s helpful to think about what you want your eyelashes to look like. I prefer ultra-thick mascara, while many of my friends just want a little length.
To achieve the best look possible, I recommend putting primer on before you apply your mascara. Primer doesn’t have to be expensive. I haven’t noticed any difference between primer from a drugstore and primer from higher-end makeup companies. Similarly, there is rarely a difference between $10 mascara and $30 mascara. So, I’ve gathered together our top mascara picks on a budget. All of these products have either been featured on our site before, rated highly on drugstore.com, or used by me personally.

Nail polish is such a simple way to enhance your wardrobe (and we love simple…and cheap). However, we all hate the chips (really, who has time to change their nail polish everyday)? One way to help your polish last is to wear cleaning gloves when you do the dishes. That soapy water seems to make nail polish chip instantly, so wearing gloves definitely helps. You could also make your husband or partner do the dishes (we like that idea).
Although you could easily spend upwards of $10 on polish, there are also many affordable options in the $5 range and under. We love a good deal, so below we’ve compiled our favorite budget nail polishes.
