This Just In: The Best Under-$15 Beauty Products We Tried in August, Including an Eye Cream with Instant Results

“My dermatologist recently had a heart-to-heart with me about the sun damage on my lips. I was completely caught off guard. (I’m such a sunscreen lover! ) I didn’t even realize I was neglecting my lips. Ever since that conversation, I’ve had this $10 Supergoop Lip Shield in hand.” —Erin Johnson, Associate Editorial Director

“The newest addition to my daily skincare routine is this eye repair cream from CeraVe. The tube is tiny, but don’t be fooled — a little goes a long way. After dotting this along my under-eye area and brow bone, I noticed almost instant improvement. My concealer glided on smoothly, the puffiness went away, and I didn’t notice the usual flakiness that crops up throughout the day.” —Kayla Kitts, Shopping Editor

“I found myself lost in the golden light of bronzing drops this month, and in the process, I fell in love with this luminous moisturizer from L’Oréal. The Glotion gives me a slight kiss of color, a natural-looking glow, and a dose of moisture that doesn’t cause my sensitive skin to break out. Plus, it’s on sale for just $13 right now.” —Alyssa Brascia, Shopping Writer

“My sensitive skin can become reactive during travel — changing climates, increasing altitudes, or sleeping on hotel pillows can cause my skin to break out. That’s why this thick, nourishing, simple moisturizer is a must-have in my carry-on.” —Cai Cramer, Shopping Writer

“As a very fair-skinned person who is also a dedicated sunscreen wearer, I’m always looking for a way to look less ghastly. I ordered these inexpensive bronzing drops on Amazon, and after my first use, I finally heard those three words every girl wants to hear: ‘You look tan.” —Genevieve Cepeda, Shopping Writer

“I began incorporating this toner into my shaving routine after I learned that glycolic acid can reduce in-grown hairs and the appearance of “strawberry legs” (a.k.a. the spots that occur whenever hair starts to grow back). I use this on my legs around twice a week just by swiping on a few drops of the product with a cotton pad.” —Michelle Lee, Editorial Assistant

“When I was in high school I loved, loved, loved this Revlon lipstick (I remember using it in the shade Toast of New York like yesterday). Back then, it was my go-to because of how luxurious it felt. Ten years later, I still love this lipstick for all the same reasons, though, now my shade is Daylight Daylight, a shimmery nude perfect for daily wear.” —Michelle Lee

“This E.l.f. primer has saved my summer makeup routine so many times. At $10, this primer performs just as well as its pricier counterparts. When applied, it feels super tacky, so it grips onto product and locks down makeup for all-day, summer-proof wear.” —Genevieve Cepeda

“I’m usually not a huge lip gloss girl, but I really like the Kiko Milano 3D Hydra Lip Gloss. I use Shade 20 which is a muted pink with faint sparkles. It’s the perfect consistency without being too thick or gloopy, and it adds a nice shine to my lips.” —Madison Yauger, Shopping Editor
