Top 10 Under $50 Luxury Beauty Buys

WHAT IT DOES: There's a reason this texturizing spray has a serious cult following. Beautiful packaging aside, it'll give your locks that fresh-from-the-coast look all while providing a protective barrier against frizz-boosting humidity.

LOVED FOR: Packed with silk proteins and argan oil, this product won't leave your strands stringy or dry like some sea salt sprays do.

WHAT IT DOES: A step up from your trusty bottle of Purell, this premium sanitizer leaves behind the faint smell of Byredo's cult-favorite rose fragrance.

HELPFUL TIP: Tiny but mighty, all it takes is a drop to cleanse and hydrate hands. Keep this cutie at your desk and use it throughout the day for a quick refresh whenever you need it.

USERS SAID: "This product just opened my eyes (figuratively and literally) to the impact of quality makeup. The color depth is amazing, and it feels like silk going on. It’s a gorgeous product, and I will definitely be ordering additional colors from the collection!"

WHAT IT DOES: This luxe lip balm boasts benefits far beyond its Insta-worthy apothecary packaging. A dab is all you need to soften, nourish and moisturize—stickiness not included.

WHY YOU NEED IT: Given that most quality drugstore lip balms can cost upwards of $10, this luxury find is a total steal.

LOVED FOR: You'll be surprised at the benefits that come with ditching your disposable cotton rounds in favor of these muslin cloths. Packaged in a set of three, each one gently exfoliates, massages, and promotes blood circulation for smooth, radiant, and younger-looking skin. Since they're washable, you won't need to toss them in the trash after use.

USERS SAID: "I felt like a crazy person when I decided to spend over $20 for a freaking muslin cloth. After using it for just two weeks, I’m glad I made that decision! My acne improved significantly, blackheads and whiteheads started to diminish, and I now have clearer skin than ever!"

BEST FOR: Thanks to its 24-hour formula and serious separating power, short and stubby lashes are no match for this mascara.

FROM THE EXPERTS: The lash-boosting benefits of this product are no joke. In an instrumental test on 10 women, users found a whopping 93% increase in volume.

WHY YOU NEED IT: Honestly, name a better beauty buy than a multi-finish eyeshadow palette. With seven iconic shades and endless ways to wear them, we can't believe it rings up under $50.

HELPFUL TIP: Layer the lamé shades on top of other textures to give them a metallic finish that's perfect for evening.

BEST FOR: A cult-favorite candle in a cute and convenient (and way more affordable) size. Place this atop your dresser or bar cart to give it a chic finish and fill your abode with a lovely scent, too.

AS SEEN ON: Beyoncé burns the vanilla version on a regular basis, so you probably should too.

WHERE TO WEAR: With a convenient clutch-sized tube and a large selection of bold, statement-making shades, this little lippie is perfect for special occasions.

HELPFUL TIP: If you're quite ready to splurge on a full-sized tube of Tom Ford's luxe lipstick, picking up this compact version is an affordable way to test and swatch new colors.

LOVED FOR: The chicest hand cream we ever did see. While most extra rich formulas leave hands greasy and slippery, this one soaks into the skin instantly to restore, protect, and hydrate hands for up to eight hours.

WHY WE LOVE IT: "After using this hand cream, I see an instant change in the appearance of my skin! This little version is perfect for on-the-go use and easy application." —Jamie Chandlee, CEO
