These viral beauty sponges are one of my favorite cheap beauty finds on Amazon. For under $10, you get a pack of six that rivals high-end brands These makeup sponges can be used wet or dry to apply and blend out liquid, cream, and powder makeup products.
I personally enjoy using them dry to apply liquid foundations and blushes as well as cream contours. These beauty sponges are budget friendly and deliver incredible results.
Worth it? Absolutely. These outperform my $25 sponges.
Perfect for DIY manicures or keeping in your purse for on-the-go fixes. These nail files are sturdy and salon-quality, and the buffers are great quality. My mom and I both do our nails at home about 90% of the time so we tend to use nail files and buffers often.
This is one of the most budget friendly sets of nail files I found and perfect to split between both my mom and I. Not only are these budget friendly, the quality is great compared to other nail files and buffers on the market that are similarly priced and to be honest, they perform better than some nail tools that cost more.
Why I Keep Reordering: Great for at-home manicures that look salon-worthy—and you can never have too many.

I love the shades Pink Quartz (sheer light pink) and Jam Sessions (black cherry). They’re perfect for everyday makeup looks and a simple beauty product to apply when you’re running errands or just want a juicy shine of color!
