5 under-$10 Amazon beauty buys

I’m all about cheap thrills, and Amazon is a veritable treasure chest of inexpensive items that will totally step up your beauty and personal-care game as soon as tomorrow. Prime it up, people!

Swisspers
I’m rather particular about my cotton pads, and generic drugstore versions don’t do it for me. I’ve been loyal to Swisspers for as long as I can remember, simply because they have a slightly textured side that helps remove any makeup your cleanser missed—and they don’t fall apart after the first few swipes. And you can get 240 of them for less than 9 bucks!

The Spatty
Nothing bothers me more than wasting product—especially when it’s something I love (and something that’s on the more expensive side). These teeny-tiny spatula helps you get every last drop of serum, face cream, foundation or just about anything else for that matter.

Salux Bath Towel
I wouldn’t imagine showering without this Japanese exfoliating towel. Toss the pouf in favor of this machine-washable cloth and you can have smooth skin from head to toe. It’s rather long, which makes it easy to get your back, and I’ve found it helps prevent ingrown hairs on the backs of my thighs between waxes.

Scrunchies
With this super-sized package of scrunchies, you get every virtually every color under the sun—and enough for you to share with your VCGO-girl daughter and all of her little VSCO-girl friends. Plus, you never have to worry about losing one, because you have dozens more.

Marvis Classic Strong Mint Toothpaste
OK, this toothpaste is actually 34 cents over budget, but it’s totally worth the extra pocket change. The way I look at it, we brush our teeth at least twice a day, so why not make it a treat instead of a mundane task? This powerful mint freshens breath like no other—and looks super-chic next to your sink.
