I am not crazy about beauty products or anything. My make-up and beauty routine is pretty minimal and I usually only splurge around Christmas when I am gifted gift cards from family or friends. I am all about cruelty-free beauty on a budget. I thought it would be fun to share some of my current favorites. Again, nothing crazy, but I really love these. I usually order on Amazon or grab from my local Target or drugstore. Cruelty-free doesn’t equal expensive or out of reach… honest!

#1: Lip Smackers. For $6 and change, you get 8 original flavors… which basically lasts me a year or more. These remind me of my 90s youth. I can’t get enough of the nostalgia and the delicious taste (ha!)
#2: Shea Moisture Body Wash. This body wash is just under $10 and the smell is incredible. I enjoy all of Shea Moisture’s products, especially for Willow, too.
#3: Pacifica Blushious. I used to use Tarte, but it was getting a little pricey for me. I am a huge fan of all Pacifica products, including this blush that lasts for hours. It is soft and for the price, lasts me at least 6+ months. I am a huge fan.
#4: LUSH lotion. I have probably mentioned this product and scent on here in the past, because the scent Sleepy is just incredible. It smells like a dream. I mean it. Just under $10, this lotion is a must during the winter months for me.
#5: ELF mascara. I usually grab it quickly in Target. I have found that after trying mascaras ranging from cheap to expensive… they just don’t feel very different to me. Maybe it is just me. Anyways, this one doesn’t break the bank and I have no complaints!
#6: Shower Scrub. I like this coffee and espresso bean scrub by Alba Botanica. I only use it every once in a while to exfoliate. Smells yummy, too.
#7: LUSH face mask. You can only buy their masks fresh out of the store, but they are well worth the trip. Cupcake is my favorite (one whiff and you’ll know why).
#8: NYX eye liner. I’ve always used NYX. For as long as I can remember.
#9: Pacifica Sea Foam face wash. I really love this face wash – it’s light and makes my skin feel super soft.
#10: Pimple treatment. Can’t forget about my go-to quick zit zapper. I always find this one by Alba Botanica at my local TJ Maxx or Marshalls.
