10 Sephora Finds $10 And Under


"Let's go into Sephora. It'll just take a minute," I told my friend once. 

She knew that was a dang LIE because I never take a minute in Sephora. I have to see what's new, swatch some things, get some samples, the usual. Give me at least 30 minutes.

"I don't wanna go in! Everything is so ridiculously expensive," she said.

I immediately felt a challenge brewing in my mind.

"True, but I bet I can find you tons of things that are affordable. And under, let's say, $10?"

And so I did. 

I thought I'd recreate that here in a new series 
where I share products I love from Sephora that are $10 and under. 

Ole Henriksen Cleanse and Go On the Go: $8
Vitamin C cleansing cloths and African Tea Foaming Cleanser make up this duo from one of my favorite skin care brands--love this for travel or on the go

NARS Pencil Sharpener $6:
Think all sharpeners are the same? Think again. This works for those chubby lip and cheek pencils as well as standard size.

Besame Lipstick Matches $6:
This is one of my FAVE things: 5 "matchsticks" that have lipstick on them. Just tear one off and use. Love these in my bag. They come in 5 colors and are exact replicas of the lipsticks worn by the classic Hollywood starlets.

Sephora Avocado Eye Mask $5:
Spehora has so many of these masks, and they can be hit or miss, but this one is so good. The avocado mask soothes the dry and tired eye area.


Sephora Charcoal Swabs $3:
These 30 charcoal swabs can be used for a multitude of cosmetic tasks, including quick fixes to eyeliner, applying any dry or liquid product, and removing makeup from hard-to-reach places that cotton pads can't. The black color of the swabs shows light colors, highlighters, and luminizers better than traditional white swabs.

Because I always need a hair tie and sometimes I want one in a cute color. Pack of 6, comes in other colors (including brown-black) as well

SEPHORA COLLECTION Pro Brow Brush #20 $7:
Angled brush great for shaping brows

Because who has time to soak off glitter polish? A few dips in this and you're done. I use it for nail decals and wraps too.

A great hydrating sheet mask that calms skin

Another staple in my bag! You get 3 scents per pack of 4: Miami Orange Blossom, Oahu Gardenia, and Malibu Honeysuckle.

What are your inexpensive Sephora faves?

  4. You had me at $10!!! I love going in to Sephora and you just proved that if you look hard enough, the trip can fit in any budget. I love shopping the travel/sample size items near the register. You never know what you might fall in love with!

  5. The sephora check out line always gets me! I love the travel size items they have available, especially if I just want to try the product out and see how I like it. :-) It's honestly often more expensive, for the amount you get, than just buying the full size. But being a beauty blogger I have too much as it is and I hate for things to go to waste! :-)

    Great round up of inexpensive items! I need to check them out -- I always just head to the high end, pricey stuff, lol

  7. This is a dangerous post! I love grabbing all those $10 products but they add up so fast haha. The area right by the register is my favorite and least favorite. My wallet hates it but I LOVE it.

  12. I'm the same way in Sephora. I need some samples and then I need to clean myself off because I have swatches everywhere. I haven't tried any of the things on your list, but I need to.

  13. I'm uber cheap when it comes to beauty products so I appreciate this post!

  14. Oh Sephora, how I love you! You can definitely find some great items for not super expensive,you just have to be willing to look around for them. Or wait for the semi-annual sale :)

  16. This is helpful. Groupon gave me a $10 gift card to Sephora and I've been trying to figure out how to use it.

  18. Love the Besame matchsticks, too! I don't actually own them, but saw them on the Besame website. I didn't realize Sephora sold this and I'm so happy now that I know. Haha!! Could you do swatches maybe? And is this a single-use lipstick? Just curious, I mean, I'm sure I'll end up buying this anyway.. Hahah.

    Much Love!

  22. TBH I find the crowds and lines at Sephora a little crazy at times so I avoid the store and shop online most of the time but I think I do miss out on some of the less expensive finds that way. Thanks for the roundup! I'm a fan of Sephora's $6 lip liners.

  40. That Nars pencil sharpener is seriously life changing! I needed one that would actually work with the Nars lip pencils, because what I had wasn't cutting it. I don't know what I did before that darn sharpener! Best $6 I ever spent!

    ReplyDelete
  41. ohhh yaaas! i rarely go into sephora because i feel like everything is expensive, but i am glad you proved me and your friend wrong ;) i also just get super overwhelmed in stores like that, i much prefer to browse online. those masks sound fabulous!

  46. Well, Sephora has very good lipsticks for 11 euros, great palettes for 24... when other brands are like 65 euros for a smaller palette. But alas, if someone goes to Sephora every week, or more than once a week, then adding 11 one day, 24 the other, plus 13 another, then of course, it gets awful :) I looooved the post because I now want this Ole Henriksen Cleanse soooo much! I like vitamin C and I want it now :) Plus, I never saw the Charcoal swabs, and I also want them - yes, black shows colors better than white!

  47. These are all great finds! The avocado mask sounds like something I should look for next time I'm in there! I seem to always tell my husband I'll just be a minute in Sephora too, and I'm pretty sure she knows it's a lie lol!!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Maybe it's just because it's trendy right now, but seeing those charcoal swabs makes me want to try them!
