If you haven't started your Spring-cleaning, you may want to get to it sooner rather than later, because there are new beauty products hitting shelves that you'll need to make room for — and that's not even the exciting part. From a highly anticipated makeup brush cleaner to a lip gloss that will brighten your selfie without the need for Facetune, we carefully picked out 20 must haves that are $20 or less. Who doesn't love a quality beauty find at an affordable price? Besides, you don't need to spend an arm and a leg to look amazing, so check out our 20 under-$20 picks ahead, and good luck trying not to buy them all at once.
Clinique
Smooth and give lips a pop of color with this dual-sided scrub and balm. The sugary exfoliant preps lips for the sheer tint — and yes, you can count on a beautiful, moisturized pout all day long.
Skyn Iceland
When we see a pimple on the horizon, we grab the tea tree oil and salicylic acid-laden products — but now we can reach for a literal spot treatment. Formulated with the two power ingredients, these inconspicuous blemish dots adhere to your pimple to quickly obliterate your breakout overnight.
Verb
Whether you have thick curls or thin strands, this mask is the weekly indulgence your hair will crave. The conditioning treatment is light, but the babaso oil it's blended with works overtime to restore dry, damaged locks.
Verb Hydrating Mask ($14)
Too Faced
This is exactly what it sounds like: an easy way to remove waterproof or stubborn mascara. The condition formula glides on like a third coat of mascara (without the mess) to dissolve mascara seamlessly. Brilliant!
The Estée Edit by Estée Lauder
No good selfie is complete without a flashy smile. This high-tech gloss is infused with iridescent blue pearl to ensure that your pearly whites shine bright like a diamond whether you layer it over a lipstick or wear it alone.
Tarte
Get Tarte's new Rainforest of the Sea skin care line for a fraction of the cost with this limited-edition set of minis — it will probably be the best $10 you'll spend all season.
Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Make a Splash Hydrating Skin Savers ($10)
Sephora Collection
This brush-cleaning spray is probably the most anticipated Sephora launch this season. The alcohol-free spray freshens up makeup brushes in no time so that you can easily and quickly move on to the next color in your palette.
Sephora Collection Dry Clean Instant Dry Brush Cleaner Spray ($14, available in April)
Kiko Milano
Treat Winter-ravaged skin to a hydrating foundation that brightens skin and blends seamlessly. The water-based liquid formula is packaged with a unique filter that dispenses the right amount of product so you can choose the coverage you desire.
Invisibobble
We were impressed when Invisibobble gave us a fun hair ring that wouldn't kink hair. The latest addition in the telephone-cord-shaped hair tie line is the mini version, which provides styles like half-up style or boxer braids with the same snug fit.
ColourPop
If you love a statement pout, you're going to freak out over the color selection in ColourPop's new Ultra Satin Lip line. Our fave is Marshmallow, a unique shade of lavender-meets-gray that's begging for a selfie.
Milk Makeup
Forget highlighter, clear face gloss is the new way to strobe skin to perfection. A little bit goes a long way, and the best part is that one shade fits all and it can be worn with or without makeup. It doesn't get more low-maintenance.
Milk Makeup Face Gloss ($20)
Klorane
Feeling the resurgence of ombré, or in the mood for DIY highlights without the mess? Either way, you'll want to try this innovative spray for subtly lightening your locks. The hydrogen-peroxide-free formula uses a natural pigment found in chamomile extract (the main ingredient) to brighten hair without penetrating the core or damaging it, and honey for a touch of hydration. With a few spritzes daily, you'll see results in three weeks.
Klorane Blond Highlights Sun Lightening Spray ($18, available in May)
COVER FX
Whether you're a color-correcting novice or a pro, COVER FX's new click sticks will have you and your skin, well, covered. The portable bullet packaging makes application on the go a breeze, and you can't go wrong with any of the six colors in the lineup.
COVER FX Correct Click ($18)
MAC
Whether you want to create a dramatic bold brow or you're simply trying to fill in sparse arches on the daily, MAC's new brow collection is the way to go. We're especially keen on this ultrathin, self-sharpening pencil to softly draw in hairs.
Paula's Choice
Paula Begoun of Paula's Choice really knows her stuff when it comes to skin care, and her products are the real deal. If you have sensitive, irritated skin, you have to try the latest from her Calm Redness Relief line. This cleanser removes makeup and impurities ever so gently without stripping skin of its natural moisture.
Glossier
Who doesn't have a thing for Glossier's new Phase 2? We're especially obsessed with the concealer in the lineup. Not only does it come in a wide range of shades to fit each skin tone, the consistency is ultralight and coverage is buildable.
Beautyblender
This is the one product we never thought we needed — until we tried it: a beauty blender for blush! The light-gray color makes it easy to see how much product is being used (great if you are heavy-handed with application), and its in-between size is a perfect fit for cheeks.
bareMinerals
The petite ProTwist360 brush in this beloved tube of mascara is no joke. The new and improved smaller-size brush amps up volume on the shortest of lashes, including the corners and lower lashes.
Zoeva
You'll never be without the right shade of blush when you have this four-color palette of matte and satin finish shades for your cheeks.
Marc Jacobs Beauty
Marc Jacobs Beauty is adding seven new pretty pastels to its existing Hi-Shine nail polish collection — and this glossy lavender hue is totally worthy of a Spring mani.
