New Beauty Discoveries Under $20

Some of my very recent beauty discoveries under $20!


The Ceramide Milkshake Balm by Lanolips ($13.50; lanolips.com) are my new favorite ultra hydrating gloss balm that come in gorgeous colors. The formula is not sticky, but slightly thick and the colors are perfect to swipe and go. Much like everything else from Lano, these are fabulous and I always have one in my purse.

The L'Oreal Plump Ambition Hyaluron Lip Oil ($13.99; ulta.com) is such a fabulous lip oil that is glossy, balmy and smooth. I love the sheer-medium pigment and how it feels on the lips. There is a minty tingle to the product that helps with the plumping factor.

The L'Oreal Blurfiller Blurring Lip Contour ($12;99; ulta.com) is a gorgeous lip liner that helps define, blur and shape lips. The formula is long wearing and the colors are flattering on most skin tones. I love the ease of use and how nicely it wears throughout the day.

The L'Oreal True Match Hyaluron Tinted Balm Embellisher ($17.99; ulta.com) is a cream blush with a sheer finish that works by itself or underneath a powder blush. The formula is very balmy, not too thick or sticky and blends beautifully with fingers or brushes. Its a great texture for dry skin and is very forgiving on large pores and texture. There's also a small mirror on the bottom of the compact that is great for touchups.

The Healthy Glow Creamy Blush Stick ($10.99; target.com) is a new addition to the Neutrogena Makeup line. These blushes are smooth, creamy and very blendable. The color range is great and the formula wears really well throughout the day even in the summer.

The Color & Care Tint Stick ($12.79; target.com) and Big Gleam Lip Serum ($11.99; target.com) are both new launches from Almay. The Big Gleam Lip Serum is a sheer gloss with a hint of color, but the formula feels ultra comfortable without any stickiness. The Tint Stick is pH adapting and turns into a sheer pink flush on my skin tone that looks very flattering. I would recommend pairing this with another blush since the formula is on the sheer side but also very glowy and natural looking.

The Dionis Goat Butter Lip Masks & Glaze ($11.79; target.com) are very hydrating, smooth lip balm/masks that comes in delicious flavors. The formula is glossy, very smooth and transparent. The scent isn't too strong and the AHA in the formula lightly exfoliates dry lips.

The Soft Touch Bouncy Blushes ($6.99; target.com) by essence are super easy to use and blend out quickly. The formula is a cream to powder with buildable pigmentation and longevity. The shade range is really nice too.
