Best Beauty Products $25: The Coast To Coast Style Collective Share Their Tried and True

02/13/2023 · In: Beauty, Hair, Makeup, Skin Care

Beauty products can be so expensive! My Coast to Coast Style sisters combed through our beauty cupboards, showers, and makeup bags to bring you the very best products–the things we love and use daily for under $25. I must say, for me it was a bit of a challenge-you will note that I have a couple of luxury eye shadow palettes that were $25 and now are $27–inflation I guess! But I wanted to keep them on the list because I love them so much–and because they are a great way to get high quality shadow for a fraction of the cost of a larger luxury eye shadow palette.

Best Beauty Products Under $25

The Silk Scrunchie Set

Who doesn’t love a good scrunchie? This 3-pack of silk scrunchies from Sephora are a great option for those people who are always struggling to keep their luscious locks tied back. Silk is one of the best options for your hair because it protects against breakage to strands, is gentle and delicate on the hair, and eliminates kinks and creasing! But best of all, these little beauties work for all types of hair, straight, wavy, curly, and all textures, fine, medium, and thick. All of that for only $15! I wear these silk scruncies every nigth, and love them.

Moroccanoil Shower Gel Cleanser

Next on our list of beauty products for under $25, we have this amazing Morocanoil shower gel cleanser. This cleanser is infused with argan oil to help tighten the look of the skin and helps to create a more even tone. Though the formula is highly concentrated, it’s very gentle and hydrates as it cleanses! But best of all, it’s free of parabens, mineral oil, and sulfates SLS & SLES and comes in recyclable packaging! Yes, please.

Ouai Mini St. Barts Cleansing Scalp & Body Sugar Scrub

Next up we have the $18 St. Barts cleansing scalp and body sugar scrub. This amazing product exfoliates all of that nasty product buildup from your scalp and also smooths and nourishes dry skin. One of the best selling points for this scrub is the St. Barts scent, which has notes of dragon fruit, orange blossom, tuberose, and Baltic amber. But it’s also vegan, cruelty-free, and has no sulfates, phthalates, or silicones. I use sugar or salt scrubs several times a week, and having one that is easy on the budget and luxurious at the same time is the best of both world.

Cicalfate LIPS Restorative Lip Cream

Nobody likes cracked or dry lips. As I have gotten older, I had found my lips seem to be very dry especially in the winter. After trying all the recommended lip creams and balms, this restorative lip cream by Cicalfate was recommended to me, and it really works. I wear it to bed, and put it on as I apply my makeup in the morning. It keeps my lips hydrated, and heals my lips when they dry out. The water-resistant formula locks in moisture for 6 hours at a time while also providing soothing relief for damaged lips. You can use it every day or as needed and 93% of people saw visible improvement in only 2 days.

MILK MAKEUP Mini Hydro Grip Makeup Primer

This next product is a great option for the makeup lover in your life. Everyone knows a good makeup routine starts with a great primer. This mini hydro grip hydrating primer is an award-winning $18 option that works for up to 12 hours at a time. The formula is oil-free and silicone-free and works on all skin types. Plus, this amazing find is also vegan, gluten-free, and cruelty-free.

The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density

With all of the products we put in our hair these days, I feel like everyone could use some extra hair care. This serum from The Ordinary is a wonderful product that helps hair look thicker, denser, fuller, and healthier, and for only $13. It’s best used for hair that is thinning, in need of volume, or for flaky and dry scalps. Just apply once a day to their scalp and they will be thanking you! I used this religiously after a hair color disaster two years ago, and found it helped with circluation and made my hair appear thicker.

Color Wow Dream Coat Anti-Frizz Treatment

Next up on our list of the best beauty products for under $25 is this amazing snit-frizz treatment from Color Wow! This award-winning hair treatment creates silky, frizz-free hair with an incredible humidity-blocking technology that lasts 3-4 shampoos. It can be used for all hair types and textures and will result in silky, supple, and glossy locks! My daughter and I both use this in the summer–it is great for keeping our hair smooth, and shiny while keeping the frizz from humidity at bay.

The Ordinary Caffeine 5% + ECGC Depuffing Eye Serum

Enjoy a bright shining face in the morning with this depuffing eye serum from The Ordinary. This community favorite serum is made with caffeine and green tea cathechin which helps to visibly reduce eye pigmentation and puffiness. Now isn’t that something that everyone can use? I certainly can! Also, it is free of parabens and formaldehyde and it’s vegan, gluten-free, and cruelty-free for under $10.

Tower 28 BeachPlease Lip + Cheek Cream Blush

Next up, we have the rosy cheeks and lips! This lip and cheek cream blush is a great double duty product at only $20. This two-in-one product creates glowing lips and cheeks but leaves out cakiness and harsh lines. But best of all, it’s made from green tea extract which calms the skin and contains a natural antioxidant and aloe vera extracts which hydrate and smooth the skin. It’s great to tuck into your purse for a quick touch up and for travel, when yo want to keep your makeup products to a minimum.

Natasha Denona Mini Nude Eyeshadow Kit

Lastly, we have a steal-of-a-deal combination set of the mini eyeshadow palette and an accompanying eyeshadow brush. This bestselling palette from Natasha Denona includes a selection of two creamy mattes, two luscious metallics, and one high-impact duo chrome. You will be able to create both a sophisticated daytime look and dazzling evening glam all from one palette! I purchased one of Natasha Denona’s large palettes,–at the time it was the most expensive palette at Sephora–and loved it–though I am not a large palette person. I was thrilled when she came out with the small palettes–they are a great bargain even though they are a little more expenive than our $25 cut off.

I hope you will find some gems in this list. Be sure to visit Suzanne Bell, Andy from Pearls and Pantsuits and Julie from Fashion Trends and Friends to see their lists of fabulous beauty values. Let me know in the comments if you are going to try one of these products!

    Nina!

    Wow! What a great list of products! I’m super interested in the depuffing eye serum, the lip balm and the body scrub! It’s been fun seeing what each of us has recommended and the why behind each! It’s been another fun collaboration!

    Like Julie, I’m intrigued by the eye serum as well. Especially after a long night of Super Bowl frivolity! I love a good eye shadow palette too, so I’ll definitely be checking that one out. I knew this collab would be a good one! So many fresh ideas.

    Count me in on the eye serum as well, and you had me at the mere mention of “St. Barts” with the cleansing scalp and body sugar scrub – if it smells like a beach, I’m always down to try it.
    Great round up and collaboration of awesome products!

I've been making a point to spend a lot less time I've been making a point to spend a lot less time on screens this year. It's been amazing how much free time I have to enjoy new hobbies and spending time with friends and family. I even tried my hand at painting with a Time For Art kit and actually made this sweet dolphin painting. I was surprised how easy it was even for someone like me who has very little painting experience. I loved how the kits came with everything I needed to make the painting, and I when I needed help, I watched a video on the Time for Art website. I thought it would be fun to host some friends for a girls painting night, invitations are in the mail--plus it would make a perfect gift. Be sure to check out @timeforartlive--I will link all their info in my link tree.

I am looking forward to going into 65 and beyond healthier and happier than ever before. I hope you’ll join me over the next 65 days by choosing something you’d like to improve or a habit you’d like to break and see where it leads. #over50womenoninstagram #over60andfabulous #livingmybestlife
