pretty finds $10 and under

i’m a complete and total sucker for a steal so it’s no surprise that these $10 and under finds from sephora have me planning a mini spree! from left to right, here are my top four picks:

clinique bottom lash mascara
popping this sample-size tube into your basket is sure to send you on a whirlwind adventure of lash discovery. the tiniest of lash brushes will give you a twiggy-esque bottom line you never knew you needed but soon won’t be able to live without. the formula is completely smudgeproof making it a must-have in my book at just $10.

sephora by opi traffic stopper copper top coat
rose gold and copper are so in for spring and i am loving this sparkly top coat. it instantly updates any polish you’ve got hiding at home and brings something different from your run-of-the-mill silver or yellow gold for only $9.50.

benefit cosmetics high beam to go
i actually prefer this version to the full-size high beam because of the doe-foot applicator (as opposed to the brush on the full-size). it’s one of my favorite under-eye highlighters and works like a dream – just three dots under each eye and you’re ready to roll. this purse-sized perfector is a definite do at $10.

boscia green tea blotting linens limited edition
i might be as much of a sucker for something limited edition as i am for something steal-worthy. there’s no question that boscia’s blotting linens are the best around and, to be fair, they are always priced at $10. the precious print on this LE green tea version, however, is simply impossible to resist!

that’s a lot of beauty goodness for just $40. pop on over to sephora’s under $10 section to see more pocket-friendly pretty and save away!
