55 Legitimately Amazing Things Under $15 That Make You Look Way Hotter

Your regular body lotion can’t compete with this daily drugstore formula. The two-in-one body lotion leaves skin hydrated and smooth with its fast-absorbing blend of glycerin, jojoba oil, shea butter, and hyaluronic acid. But it’s also a gradual self-tanner that slowly builds into a natural-looking glow the more often you use it. No muss, no fuss — just a gorgeous golden tan and silky-soft skin, all from applying a body lotion like you normally would.

If you’re still seeing unwanted dark circles pop through your usual concealer, you may need some additional help in the form of color-correcting. The makeup artist-loved trick involves using some unexpected concealer colors to cancel out conflicting tones. This under-eye brightener does just that by using pink tones to camouflage dark circles. You can still apply your normal concealer on top for more coverage, and the brightener comes in three other shades for darker skin tones, too.

Accessorizing can go a long way in elevating your look, and this waist chain gives you an easy and unique way to complement your summer wardrobe. From bikinis and festival wear to low-rise denim and crop tops, the dainty accessory is surprisingly impactful. You can choose from different layered and embellished designs, but all of the chains are hypoallergenic and waterproof, and they feature an adjustable lobster clasp.

For eyes that are puffed up from allergies or lack of sleep, this under-eye roller delivers an immediate cooling sensation to provide some relief. That refreshing feeling comes courtesy of a stainless steel rollerball that helps to massage away puffiness, but you can amplify the effect by storing the tiny tool in your fridge. It also dispenses a serum that uses ingredients like caffeine, niacinamide, and centella asiatica to brighten, hydrate, and soothe.

There’s really no wrong way to use this skin-enhancing lotion, which pairs the slightest tint of color with soft shimmer for a glow that’s totally customizable. Wear it on its own to perk up bare skin, or let it serve as a luminous base when applied as a primer or mixed in with your foundation. The glow-boosting lotion can even be used as a highlighter for your face and body.

This TikTok-viral lip liner uses a unique application method that’s similar to a temporary tattoo. Once you trace your lips with the liquid liner, let it set as you go about the rest of your makeup routine. After about 10 minutes, the liquid color transforms into a peel-off film that leaves behind a waterproof stain you can wear on its own or paired with a gloss.

These dangling earrings look like several hoops, but they’re all attached to a single post. A great way to fake a stacked look, the 14-karat gold plated earrings also save you money since they’re priced as though you’re buying a single set. In addition to different designs, the earrings also come in gold, rose gold, and silver.

Before you even go in with your serum and moisturizer, you can set your skin care routine up for success with this hydrating toner. Formulated with sensitive skin types in mind — but suitable for anyone — the milky formula helps to reduce visible redness and support the skin barrier with ingredients like centella asiatica, polyglutamic acid, and ceramides. The toner is fragrance-free and alcohol-free to further reduce the risk of sensitivity; plus, it’s cruelty-free and vegan.

If your straight lashes refuse to hold a curl, try swapping out your usual lash curler for a heated one. This rechargeable heated lash curler features a silicone pad that changes color to indicate when it’s ready to use, delivering more lift to your lashes before you even apply mascara.

This shimmer-infused body oil is the ultimate way to highlight a just-back-from-vacation tan, but its subtle tint is also a solid option for anyone who avoids sitting out in the sun entirely. A golden-pink shimmer flatters every skin tone and adds a glossy sheen, while mineral oil, sunflower seed oil, and cocoa seed butter work to lock in moisture and leave skin soft.

Your skin’s needs are ever-changing, and this facial tool duo gives your topical products some added support. If you’re experiencing puffiness or redness, reach for this ice roller to take down inflammation and swelling in just a few minutes. But when you want a more sculpted effect, the smaller gua sha tool can help to temporarily lift and tighten while also relieving muscle tension.

This TikTok-viral face cream has a gloppy jelly texture, but it quickly gets skin glowing. Formulated to achieve the trending “glass skin” effect, the K-beauty cream uses a combination of hydrolyzed collagen, squalane, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide to leave skin plump, soft, and radiant.

You don’t have to worry about any spills with this nail and cuticle oil, which is housed in a purse-friendly pen. The mess-free cuticle oil dispenses with a couple of clicks, using a paintbrush-like tip to smooth the honey and milk-scented formula over your nails. Packed with nourishing oils like safflower, sweet almond, and argan, the cuticle pen helps to strengthen dry, brittle nails when used consistently.

You can use this toner the traditional way, applying it to a cotton pad and swiping it over your face to improve the look of congested pores and smooth an uneven texture. But the glycolic acid toner has also been highlighted by dermatologists like Dr. Lindsey Zubritsky, M.D., for its versatility. From exfoliating lips and cuticles to dislodging buildup on the scalp pre-shower, and even preventing ingrowns and razor bumps post-shower, the toner’s uses are pretty much endless.

This drugstore lip oil has amassed over 20,000 five-star ratings on Amazon for delivering major moisture and a glossy tint. The cruelty-free and vegan formula ensures lips look their fullest with moisturizing ingredients like squalane, apricot oil, avocado oil, and pomegranate oil. It comes in a range of pink and berry shades (as well as a clear option), and multiple Amazon reviewers confirm that the finish is shiny without any stickiness. The jammy shade pictured above will make lips look particularly juicy, especially when paired with a lip liner.

If you gravitate towards warm, sweet fragrances that mimic dessert, the Cashmere Vanilla version of this drugstore body lotion is about to become your new go-to. With more than 30,000 five-star ratings on Amazon, the lotion drenches skin in moisturizing glycerin, shea butter, shea oil, and vitamin E, but it still absorbs quickly so you can get dressed and move on with your day. Cashmere Vanilla’s notes of whipped vanilla, musk, and caramel made it an instant hit on social media, but the lotion comes in several other scents, too.

Mist this facial spray on top of your makeup to help lock all your hard work in place. The ultra-fine mist can also be used on bare skin (or over makeup throughout the day) to refresh and treat skin. Hyaluronic acid and vegan collagen plump up dry skin with moisture, niacinamide helps to brighten, and ingredients like aloe vera and centella asiatica have a soothing effect. The face mist even contains zeolite to help control oil production.

You don’t know true fear until you’ve opened a fully packed suitcase that included a self-tanning mousse after an international flight. Rather than risk ruining all of your clothes (and your vacation), throw these tanning towelettes into your carry-on. The mess-free option is also more compact, yet a single towel is enough to cover your entire body, according to multiple Amazon reviewers. Once you’ve smoothed the towelette over your skin (and washed your hands to avoid stained palms), your bronze color will gradually develop over two to four hours.

Underwear lines may be messing with your outfit, but the solution is as simple as opting for a seamless style. These seamless thongs eliminate the risk of panty lines with smooth, laser-cut edges and a stretchy, micro-mesh fabric that hugs your curves without digging in and leaving marks. Each $15 set comes with five thongs, and you can choose from several solid colors and patterns.

How you replenish dry skin is totally up to you with this blue swirl mask.

The mask, which can be left on while you sleep or rinsed off after 15 minutes, also includes niacinamide to help brighten skin with continued use.

Professional lash extensions may look great, but they come with a high-maintenance aftercare routine (not to mention the high-maintenance price tag). For comparable results that you can take off at the end of the day, a lash cluster kit like this one is your best bet. The smaller bands of wispy lashes are easy to customize to fit your eye shape, giving you full control over the length and volume of your temporary extensions, which can stay glued in place for several days if you so choose.

This dainty anklet fits right in when lounging poolside in your favorite swimwear, but it will cost you less than an Aperol spritz. Despite its budget-friendly price, multiple Amazon reviewers report that it’s surprisingly durable, and holds up to months of wear (including showering and swimming). The anklets come in dozens of designs, and each one features an adjustable chain with a lobster clasp.

Define brows and fill them in with this double-sided pen. One side holds a matte pencil with a creamy texture that’s easy to blend, while the opposite end has a felt-tip liquid pen for creating realistic hair-like strokes. And even though it was designed to be used as a brow pen, several Amazon reviewers confirm that the waterproof liquid pen also makes for a more subtle alternative to traditional black eyeliner.

You can use this hypochlorous acid spray whenever you want to give your skin a little refresh, but the dermatologist-loved ingredient is especially effective when it comes to soothing. A compound that’s naturally produced in the body, hypochlorous acid has antimicrobial products that help with soothing redness and inflammation. The multipurpose spray can destroy acne-causing bacteria, too, making it a fast way to help prevent breakouts post-workout when you don’t have time for a cleanse or shower.

For a shimmery eye look that doesn’t lead to fallout, there’s this blendable eyeshadow. The liquid-cream formula acts like your primer and your color, staying in place without transferring or smudging for up to 24 hours. You can blend the shadow in with a brush, but the creamy pigment is also easy to apply with just your fingertip.

You can throw on whatever necklaces and bracelets you want with this crop top, but the silver ring at the center takes care of some of the accessorizing for you. The sleeveless crop top is made from a blend of stretchy fabrics that multiple Amazon reviewers credit with being comfortable and supportive. Plus, it’s double-lined to make it more convenient for going braless.

This face sunscreen makes it easy to remember to apply your morning SPF. The primer-like formula shields your skin from the sun with broad-spectrum SPF 30, but it creates a better base for your makeup, too. Smoothing skin with ingredients like panthenol, squalane, and niacinamide, the lightweight sunscreen also imparts a sheer, shimmery tint for skin that’s luminous without any help from the sun.

This tinted lip balm has a unique, click-pen applicator, but that’s not the only reason it’s a standout. The K-beauty balm melts onto lips, creating a glossy sheen that immediately enhances fullness. And it nourishes, too, with ingredients like manuka honey, shea butter, and sweet almond oil. The balms come in more than a dozen shades, including several shimmery finishes.

If you’re dealing with pesky bumps on your arms or legs (or both!), regular body lotion alone won’t get things smooth. Instead, you need a two-in-one formula like this drugstore lotion, which exfoliates and moisturizes. A 20% concentration of urea works as a gentle exfoliant that both breaks down dead skin cells and draws moisture to the skin. The fragrance-free lotion also includes ingredients like glycerin and sweet almond oil, making it suitable for everyday use.

This cushion compact foundation makes on-the-go makeup a breeze with its mirrored compact and puff applicator. The formula is also ideal for dry skin types, as it’s packed with hyaluronic acid, sunflower seed oil, and peptides that contribute to the foundation’s dewy finish. The buildable coverage foundation feels lightweight on the skin, but it has some serious staying power, too, according to Amazon reviewers.

For fluffy, brushed up brows that stay in place all day long, this clear gel gives you ample hold without adding any color. The waterproof gel doesn’t flake off or leave behind a residue, but it does help to nourish your brow hairs with glycerin, panthenol, and rosemary extract — the latter of which can potentially help support healthy growth.

Certain accessories, like this hand chain, can make a subtle but noticeable impact, especially when you’re trying to take your look to the next level. Pair the cubic zirconia-embellished chain with your maxi dresses and crochet minis for some extra shine, or wear it to the beach for an inexpensive way to accessorize your swimwear.

This callus remover gel will get you pedicure-smooth feet without actually going to the salon. A favorite on Amazon with more than 40,000 five-star ratings, the gel is just as effective on stubborn calluses as it is on cracked heels. You’ll want to pair the gel with a pumice stone or rasp to help remove the dead skin, but it only takes a few minutes to get the job done.

If you stick to painting your nails yourself, this nail foil lets you take things to the next level without requiring any additional skills. The lace foil comes in 20 different rolls of patterns in black and white colors, which you can use to cover each nail in its entirety, as a smaller accent, or as a detailed French tip design. Amazon reviewers largely agree that the nail foil is easy to use — just be sure to purchase a nail foil glue separately to ensure the lace pattern sticks.

Belts are an easy way to add some structure to your look, but they’re also one of the most impactful accessories. Take this oversized belt, for example, whose western design makes for a bold statement, whether you pair it with a complementary outfit or wear it alongside something simpler. The belt comes in a range of metal finishes, each one featuring an adjustable chain that allows you to wear it at the waist or lower on the hips.

A single, adjustable lobster clasp secures this necklace in place, but it gives the effect of a layered look. The dainty design can complement your other go-to necklaces, or it can serve as a standalone piece when worn with V-neck tank tops and plunging halter tops. Because of its cheaper price tag, the necklace is also a practical way to accessorize swimwear.

To give your skin a weekly boost in record time, this mask works in just five minutes. A 10% concentration of lactic and glycolic acids has a powerful exfoliating effect that breaks down dead skin cells for a more even texture and brighter tone. The mask also helps to absorb excess oil and refine pores with rice powder and kaolin clay.

The clear core of this lip balm is what gives it an extra nourishing boost, with its mix of vitamins C, E, and F. But the surrounding tinted color also provides plenty of moisture (as well as buildable color) with ingredients like coconut oil, shea butter, and mango butter. The balm has a slightly glossy finish without any stickiness, and its sheer tint is the perfect complement to no-makeup makeup.

One of the easiest ways to enhance your appearance doesn’t have anything to do with makeup or hair. Instead, it’s all about your smile. Whitening your teeth — even just a shade or two — can help improve your confidence, too. These whitening strips let you get the job done at home, offering you seven treatments (though it only takes one 30-minute treatment to start to see results). Hydrogen peroxide is behind the strips’ brightening abilities, and they have a refreshing coconut flavor.

Whether you’re touching up your makeup at the office or going through your full routine while on vacation, good lighting is a must. This travel-friendly mirror has you covered with three LED light colors that can be adjusted with a press of the power button for brighter or dimmer illumination. The rechargeable mirror comes in a slim size that’s ideal for traveling, and it features an adjustable stand to keep it hands-free.

No look is truly complete without a pair of sunglasses. But if losing or breaking sunnies is your downfall, constantly investing in designer shades isn’t exactly practical. This set of oval sunglasses gives you four slightly different designs to stash in your handbag and your car—all for less than $15.

You can match your jewelry to this chain belt, which comes in a variety of gold and silver designs. But the oversized chain has a jewelry-like finish that can eliminate the need for other accessories entirely. In fact, the jewelry-inspired belt even doubles as a layered necklace, according to the brand, thanks to its adjustable design.

These foot masks won’t slowly shed away stubborn calluses like the at-home peeling variety, but they will help to smooth things out in about 20 minutes. The disposable booties use ingredients like urea, shea butter, and olive oil to soften dry skin and cracked heels for a quick, DIY pedicure.

From costumes and wigs to bodysuits and bra straps, this body glue gives you some extra security when you need it most. The roll-on applicator makes the adhesive easy to apply, and it goes on clear, making it virtually undetectable. You can use the body glue to secure bathing suits in place, too, but you’ll have to reapply after swimming, as it was formulated to wash right off.

This hair mask has more than 40,000 five-star ratings on Amazon for leaving hair softer and with “glass-like” shine after a single, five-minute treatment. Formulated to revive damaged, color-treated hair, the hair mask uses a combination of hydrolyzed proteins, like collagen and silk, to improve elasticity and lock in hydration.

This K-beauty blush has a unique dropper nozzle that applies like skin care but imparts a flush of color to your cheeks. The liquid formula blends out with ease for a natural, sheer tint, but it can be layered on for more pigmented color. The blush comes in more than a dozen pink and peachy shades, each one adding a fresh, dewy finish.

Multiple Amazon reviewers have praised this drugstore highlighter for giving a better lit-from-within glow than its prestige counterparts. Offering soft shimmer over chunkier glitter, the highlighter smooths over skin with help from ingredients like vitamin E and fatty acids from macadamia nut oil. The pearly powder can be brushed over cheekbones, brow bones, and over the cupid’s bow, but you can also use it as an all-over body highlighter.

To maintain brows at home, this three-piece kit gives you an alternative to tweezing and waxing. Two stainless steel razors can be used to shape your brows and shave away stray hairs, while a pair of mini scissors let you trim overgrown hairs.

If you want to add a playful touch to your next look, get a toe ring (open-toe shoes required, of course). This toe ring is a simple, 14-karat gold plated band that goes with everything from casual denim shorts and tank tops to flowy dresses and skirts. It’s also adjustable, so you can wear it on any toe.

There’s no heat styling involved with this velvet curler set, which means you don’t have to worry about the dryness and breakage that can come from using your curling iron too often. The velvet curling rod has a sponge core that’s soft enough to sleep on comfortably once you’ve wrapped your hair in place and secured it with the velvet scrunchies. By the time you wake up, you’ll have achieved bouncy waves without any extra styling effort.

You can turn to press-on nails whenever you want, but the quick application (with zero dry time or curing) is especially convenient when you need a last-minute manicure. This press-on set comes with everything you need to prep and apply, including 16 different nail sizes for the best fit. The nails come pre-shaped in an oval style, and there are more than two dozen colors to choose from, including a cat eye and several French tip designs for some extra flair.

Color-treated blonde hair requires quite a bit of extra maintenance, but it doesn’t mean you have to spend as much on your at-home products as you do on the color itself. This drugstore purple toning shampoo has been a salon staple for decades. It works to neutralize unwanted brassy and yellow tones, leaving you with icy blonde, just-left-the-salon color.

Bodysuits are a wardrobe staple that can basically be worn with every skirt and pair of pants in your closet. This bodysuit is no exception, but its slight off-the-shoulder cut gives it an effortless feel that works especially well with denim (shorts, jeans, and skirts). Even though it’s stretchy, the bodysuit is double-lined for more support and coverage, and it comes in several solid colors if you want a couple of different options.

• Available sizes: X-Small – XX-Large
• Available styles: 5+

Filters can only work so much magic. Good lighting is also required for your best pictures and videos. This LED ring light gives you three color modes to choose from that can be further adjusted by brightness. The rechargeable light also has a convenient clip that you can attach to your phone, laptop, or makeup mirror.

Liquid liner is probably the lengthiest part of your makeup routine, but it doesn’t have to be. These clever eyeliner stamps let you get an even wing shape with the press of a pen (one pen for the left eye and one for the right eye). The double-sided liner features a wing stamp on one end and a traditional fine-tip liner on the opposite end to connect your cat eye to your lid.
