Beauty Bargains: Our Full Face Under $20 Challenge

Sarah Marie and Kelly have done their homework and we mean, extra credit level prep, to bring you the ultimate affordable beauty guide. Welcome to In Her Bag: Budget Edition, where every product mentioned retails at under $20 full price. That’s right: no sales, no sneaky discounts, just good old-fashioned bargain beauty that actually works.

Yes, the cost of living is rude right now, and even so-called “drugstore” makeup is creeping into the $40+ club. So we thought: let’s hunt down the good stuff that’s still truly affordable, and (shock horror) still really bloody good.
