Who loves a good beauty find? What's even better, is finding a great product that actually works, and is affordable! In this weeks Rachael's Radar, I'm sharing my some favorite beauty finds, and they're all under $50! In fact, most of them are under $20. You're welcome.
1. I have tried a lot of dry shampoos, and have only found a couple that I like, and actually keep my grease at bay. However, they're all over $20 a bottle! So when this one was recommended to me last year, I was excited to give it shot. And I love it!! Not only does it work just as well as my favorite high end dry shampoo, but it leaves less of a white residue in my hair, and smells so good. I use the coconut formula, but if you're not a fan of coconut, it does come in other formula's/smells. I haven't tried the others, so I can't speak of their performance, but I'd say they're worth try. I also love that it's free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and is gluten free. Oh yea, it's under $8 a bottle!
2. These beauty sponges are the best! In the past couple of years, I have leaned that the tools you use to apply your makeup, make a big difference. The better the brush, the more even application you'll get. This also holds true with beauty sponges. The best that I have found are by Beauty Blender, but at $17 to $20 a sponge, they aren't the most affordable. Especially since the sponge needs to be replaced every couple of months. I had seen a few influences talk about these BEAKEY sponges, so I decided to try them, and I'm glad that I did. They make the perfect Beauty Blender dupe! Plus you get a package of 5 for under $9.
3. I'm constantly on the hunt for good makeup brushes that are affordable. And to be honest, my list is slim. As I mentioned earlier, the brushes you use do make a difference in your makeup application. The better the brush blends, the better your makeup will look! Because I like to invest in good brushes, I have a high standard when it comes to affordable brushes. Not only do I need them to blend well, but I can't stand when the bristles fall out, or the brush handle breaks. I've always found the Real Techniques brand to be a great option for affordable brushes, and I love this eye set! Not only do I use it daily for myself, but I have a couple of sets that I use on my clients when giving makeovers. Plus, they're currently on sale for under $5!
4. If you follow along on my Instagram, then you have heard me talk about this hair dryer multiple times, plus I have a tutorial on how to use it saved to my highlights. I picked this up during Prime Day after hearing both influencers and friends rave about it. Not only does it cut down on my drying time, but I find it easier to handle than my normal hairdryer. The best part is that it gives my hair more volume! It took me a few time to get use to it, but it's all I use to dry my hair now, and I'd recommend it to everyone!
5. Okay, so I don't actually own this makeup bag yet, but I do currently have it in my cart. I need a new travel makeup bag, and thought this made a cute LV dupe! Plus it has amazing reviews! It looks like a great size, and you can't beat the price!
6. How cute is the marble print on this makeup train case? It's funny because I've seen so many people rave about this case is the past six months, and I've had mine for two years! I actually own the larger size so I can travel with all of my makeup for demos and makeovers, but I think I need this smaller size for my personal weekend travels. It's available in multiple colors, and most are under $20.
7. This brush cleanser is the best! Not only does it easily clean all the makeup off of your brush, but it also dries within seconds, so you can use the brush right after cleaning it! Plus it sanitizes, and smells really good. It's perfect for a quick brush cleaning!
8. This mascara is the bomb. A friends of mine introduced me to it last year, and I ended up switching out my Super Hero mascara for it! Not only does it add incredible length, but the formula is a deep black, making my lashes really pop! I still can't get over the fact that this mascara is under $5!!! I do have to admit, currently, this is not what I use for mascara, as I have found a better option (with great ingredients), but if you're looking for an affordable find, then I highly recommend this Princess Lash!
