Dear Amazon, I don’t know how I ever lived without you. Your convenience, consistency, and prompt delivery never disappoints. Many of these items have a cult Amazon following and hundreds of reviews! Here are my favorite Amazon buys under $30.
1.Indian Healing Clay Mask ($8.30) With over 1500 review, the Indian Healing Clay Mask is hands down the most popular cult beauty item on Amazon! At under $10 (for 1lb), the mask is one of the most powerful pore cleansing masks I have ever used. Made with only one ingredient, calcium bentonite clay, the clay mask is fragrance free and contains no additives! I prefer to mix the clay with apple cider vinegar instead of water for the added benefits for ACV.
2. Magnetic Eyelashes ($15.99) I love the look of long luxurious lashes, but lash extensions are just not for me. Because I wear contacts and have sensitive eyes, I am hesitant to put lash glue (with who knows what type of chemicals) so close to my eye. Apply a layer of mascara first before applying so the magnetic eyelashes get a little traction and don’t slide off clean lashes. It will take a few applications to get the hang of how to put these on so be patient and persistent. These are my favorite magnetic lashes because they come in sections so I only wear a section on the outer edge of my lash line to give a more natural look. $15.99 may seem a little expensive for a pair of fake lashes, but I have worn mine for several months. Because they are in sections, they last twice as long and don’t get the glue build up of traditional fake lashes.
3.Bulletproof Brain Octane Oil ($23.39) Brain octane oil claims to be the most effective form of MCT (medium-chain triglycerides) oil. I’ve been intermittent fasting (read more about IF here) for the past six months. To get me through my daily 16 hour fasting window, I put a tablespoon in my coffee every morning with collagen peptides. The boost of fat gives me instant and sustained energy and keeps me satisfied until lunch.
4.Facial Steamer ($25.98) I’m a recent adopter of facial steaming. I first heard about facial steaming from Lauryn Evarts from The Skinny Confidential, and my skin is better for it! I use the facial steamer a couple of nights a week after removing my makeup to hydrate my skin and help open up my pores to remove impurities. I then cleanse and apply my other nightly treatments. Steaming before applying creams helps your skin absorb lotions and creams.
5.Egyptian Magic All Purpose Skin Cream ($15.99) I started using the Egyptian Magic All Purpose Skin Cream during the cold and dry winter to nourish my parched skin. I use this in the evening as night cream since it is on the heavier side. It really is all purpose. I use it on my cuticles and lips. If you have oily skin, this may be too heavy for you.
6.Koffie Straws ($14.30 for 2) The worst part of my caffeine addiction is the coffee stains on my teeth. Can you relate? While I try to always use a straw, plastic straws are terrible for the environment. These silicon reusable straws are perfect for those that want to protect their pearly whites and can’t give up their morning coffee.
7.Thayer’s Witch Hazel Toner in Rose Petal ($8.76) After using a gentle cleanser, I use this toner to cleanse and tone my skin. Because this is alcohol free, it’s very gentle and non-drying. I have always had issues with toners being too drying on my sensitive skin, but I can use this one twice a day with no issues of dryness or irritation.
8.Diva Ring Cell Phone Light ($10.99) Lighting is EVERYTHING! Unfortunately, you can’t always control the lighting but you can carry around your own light! The Diva Ring Cell Phone light may be clipped to the top of any phone (front or rear facing camera). I’ve tried the Lumee case, but I prefer this light because it’s cheaper, works on any phone, and isn’t as cumbersome as a lighted case.
9.Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask ($6.86) This mask has been in my beauty regimen for years! I randomly bought it at Walgreens in college and have never been without it since. I use this mask as-needed to dry up a breakout and decrease blackheads. This mask is great at drying up acne and can be a little overdrying. I always follow it with a heavy moisturizer or serum to counteract the dryness.
