55 Bougie Things Under $25 That'll Make You Look Way Hotter

This colorful multitasker may look like a candy Push Pop, but it’s actually a way to sweeten up your beauty routine. The twist-up stick holds a cheek and lip tint with a gel texture that has a cooling effect as it effortlessly delivers a sheer wash of color onto your skin. Ingredients like aloe vera, seawater, and vegan collagen add a burst of moisturizing and soothing benefits to your skin, while the color of your choice gives you just enough time to blend in with your fingertips or a brush before it sets into a long-lasting stain. Despite its compact size, every jelly stick gives you enough product for 1,000 swipes, and the formula is also vegan, cruelty-free, and noncomedogenic (aka, it won’t clog your pores or cause breakouts).

You don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars on skin care products to make a major impact. This silicone ice cube mold lets you make an ice roller for your face, which can be used for just a few minutes each day to reduce swelling and inflammation and create a temporary tightening effect.

If you love a full eye makeup look but you lack the makeup artist-worthy skills (or the time) to pull one off, this liquid eyeshadow has you covered.

You can wear the liquid eyeshadow on its own or layer it over top of your go-to powder formula for a more smoked-out effect – either way, the cruelty-free formula promises to keep the glitter on your lids and not smudged under your eyes halfway through the day.

This fitted, long-sleeve top is casual enough to wear with jeans or a midi skirt, but the ruched fabric and asymmetric neckline add just enough detail to be dressed up with heels. The boat neckline can be worn off the shoulders for an easy girls’ night out look, and the cropped style of the early 2000s was practically made to be worn alongside a small shoulder bag (bonus nostalgia points if it’s a Fendi Baguette or monogrammed with the Coach logo).

The fragrance-free formula also includes hydrolyzed marine collagen to further plump up your skin.

If you love the look of beachy waves but can never quite get the wrapping technique just right with your curling wand, upgrade to this curling iron/hair crimper hybrid. The three-barrel curling iron lets you divide your hair into sections and clamp it between the barrels for instant waves. It’s dual voltage, so you can bring your iron abroad, and it comes with two temperature settings. Though the ceramic coating helps to minimize unwanted frizz and add shine to your curls, you’ll still want to prep your hair with a heat protectant and use the lowest heat setting possible to minimize heat damage.

Though it looks like a nail polish, this K-beauty find is a liquid blush that you can brush right onto your cheeks.

Your average retinol treatment is too strong to be applied to the delicate skin underneath your eyes, but this creamy serum was specifically formulated to be effective yet non-irritating when smoothed along the area. Retinal, a faster-acting but gentler vitamin A derivative, increases skin cell turnover to tackle fine lines and stimulate collagen production, while ginseng root extract and niacinamide work to disguise signs of fatigue. The active ingredients in the eye serum mean you can use it as an all-over face serum, too, and with ingredients like macadamia seed oil, adenosine, and ceramides, it doesn’t slack on the moisturizing and skin barrier-strengthening benefits, either.

Whether you’re self-tanner obsessed or you’re just looking for the subtlest way to perk up pale winter skin, this liquid bronzer can help you out. The doe-foot applicator makes it easy to dot the bronzer onto your face before blending it in, but you could also mix it in with your foundation for an all-over boost of color. Glycerin and evening primrose extract give the liquid bronzer a dewy finish that’s much more moisturizing than the usual powder bronzers, and silica helps to create a blurring effect for a smoother finish.

Retinol isn’t just for your face. When added to body lotion, the vitamin A derivative can help you achieve smoother, brighter skin by increasing skin cell turnover and boosting collagen production. This fragrance-free formula uses encapsulated retinol to minimize signs of irritation as your skin adjusts (though you still may want to work your way up to daily use as your skin tolerates). Vegan and cruelty-free, the lotion also includes plenty of moisturizing ingredients you’d traditionally find in a body lotion, like glycerin, shea butter, and safflower seed oil.

Glowing skin without the grease is always the goal, and this K-beauty compact combines three powders with chamomile water and hyaluronic acid to take down shine without drying out your skin. The finely milled powder blurs pores and sets makeup with a semi-matte finish, but it won’t settle into lines or look cakey. It’s also ideal for traveling or storing in your handbag, as the silicone mesh cover prevents any loose powder spills. When you’re ready to use it, just lightly press down with the included velvet puff to dispense a small amount of powder that doesn’t waste any precious product.

You can match your pajamas to your silk pillowcase with this buttery-soft satin chemise. The babydoll-style lingerie is trimmed in lace with sheer lace paneling along the side, and it features a V neckline with a racerback cut that has an adjustable strap for a more customizable fit.

Amazon reviewers especially love that the bodysuit offers a smoothing effect similar to shapewear, though several noted that you may want to size up.

Regardless of how you use it, the hypoallergenic formula contains just three ingredients to soothe and hydrate: water, glycerin, and rose flower extract.
