My top products under $10




When I was a high school/college kid I didn’t have a lot of money, I worked some weekends but I earnt about $7 an hour so for me it was all about the cheap affordable product. Now that I am a working girl, I wouldn’t sneeze at paying $20+ for a shampoo or $50+ for a foundation, but I do still appreciate those quality products for under $20 or $10.

So today I’d like to share with you my favourite products that are under $10!

I love expensive shampoo, it smells good and makes my hair look at feel great, well most of them do. But I have recently gained appreciation for the cheaper shampoos, enter Herbal Essences. I used to buy this when I was younger and it seems now they’ve got a whole lot of other variations to suit all types of hair! As mentioned before I received the Honey, I’m strong Shampoo and Conditioner in my Glosscars prize packs, so far I’ve used the conditioner and love it! I can’t wait to finish off my other shampoos so I can use the Herbal Essence one! Move over salon brands, this baby is only $5.99!


Now to be honest I wasn’t much of a makeup girl when I was in High school or college, I think I literally used a concealer stick to cover my entire face, goes to show how much I knew back then! But I think if we had the cheaper brands back then as we do now I would have been more make up savvy, we needed Essence and NYX cosmetics back then! So some of my favourite products from these brands include the Essence Silky Touch Blush ($4.95) NYX Butter Gloss ($9.95) Eyebrow Cake Powder ($9.95) Jumbo Eye Pencil ($9.95)

It was hard for me to think of a shower body product that was under $10 as I’m obsessed with Pure Fiji products, and technically the full size products aren’t under $10 but the travel sized items are! I’ve raved about these before so I won’t go into it, but they are deliciously scented and super moisturising! For a full size product that’s under $10 and smell delicious, I’d go for the Lush soaps, particularly The Godmother Soap ($6.50/100g) and Sexy Peel ($5.95/100g)!


For some heavy duty body moisturising that won’t break the bank or leave your legs feeling like a grease ball I recommend the Dirty Works Supreme Body Cream! Absorbs instantly and provides great moisturising and it’s only $9.95 for a huge 300ml tub!

Lastly, a product that’s easy on the pocket but gentle on the face is the Palmers Cocoa Body Purifying Mask ($9.99). This gem draws out the impurities, clears out your pores and leaves your face feeling soft and glowing! A great product to have in the cupboard especially for those days pesky blemishes raise their heads!

Here you have my favourite products for under $10! Let me know if you have anything I haven’t mentioned, or I don’t know about!

  3. It's good that the Palmers Mask works for you. I tried it and it did nothing for my skin. A bit of a waste of money but good thing it didn't cost me a lot!

    1. That's a shame! What were you expecting it to do to your skin? I generally only use it if I have a blemish I need to draw out.
