00:00Hey guys, it's Mi-Anne and this is Beauty with me.
00:03You guys asked, I answered.
00:05I am going to be sharing with you today my favorite under $15 skincare item.
00:12Some kind of new to market, some are old favorites.
00:15If I'm wearing makeup, which is pretty much every day,
00:18at night I will use a cleansing balm or cleansing oil to remove my makeup.
00:22This is a new one from Physicians Formula.
00:25It's called the Perfect Matcha 3-in-1 Melting Cleansing Balm.
00:28It is a really good affordable cleansing balm.
00:32You would basically just take a little bit, warm it up in your hands,
00:34apply it to your face, and it would just melt away all your makeup.
00:37Waterproof mascara, waterproof eyeliner, liquid lipstick.
00:41It does the job.
00:42Honestly, it feels really similar to a lot of the really high-end ones I've used before,
00:46so I would definitely recommend this one.
00:49After the cleansing balm, you can, you know, leave it on your skin.
00:52You can wash it off with water.
00:53You can use a damp cloth, but you can also double cleanse.
00:56And I use this one morning and night.
00:58This is the COSRX, which is the K-Beauty brand.
01:00Low pH good morning gel cleanser.
01:02It has tea tree oil in it to fight bacteria, acne, that sort of thing.
01:06It's gentle, good for sensitive skin.
01:08Twelve bucks. You can't go wrong. It's huge.
01:12Need I say more?
01:13So moving on to the rest of my nighttime routine.
01:16This is the rose water and glycerin facial spray.
01:19This is a very, very, very popular rose water spray.
01:24It is in every makeup artist's kit.
01:27You can get it at Urban Outfitters for $10.
01:28You get a huge amount of it.
01:30Really classic. It's a good one.
01:32For serum and moisturizer, I really enjoy this one by The Ordinary.
01:36This is the Granactive Retinoid in Squalane.
01:39And what I like about this is it does have the retinol in it,
01:42which is going to help with cellular turnover.
01:44I use it just kind of after my toner as my moisturizer slash serum step.
01:49I love retinol for, you know, anti-aging, but it's also great for acne
01:54because it does speed up kind of this exfoliation process.
01:58If I'm feeling like I want a little mask, I'll kind of switch it up between using a clay mask
02:02or using an exfoliating mask or using a hydrating mask.
02:05This is one that I wanted to call out today.
02:07This is the ELF Matte Oil Control Mask.
02:09And it's a great, very simple mask.
02:11It has cowlin clay in it and tea tree oil to help fight acne.
02:14It does the job.
02:15I'm not very picky when it comes to clay masks.
02:17It dries on your skin like a normal clay mask does.
02:20It absorbs oil, kind of clears out your pores, and then you wash it off.
02:23It's really good.
02:24It's very, very, very, very affordable.
02:26With clay masks, I feel like you can get away with going for something
02:29that's much more affordable like this.
02:30Let's talk about morning skincare.
02:32So I will cleanse with the same COSRX cleanser and then follow up with a toner.
02:36Either the Heritage Rose Toner or if I feel like my skin's looking a little dull
02:40and need a little something extra, I'll use the Pixi Glow Tonic.
02:44Y'all have probably heard me and a million other people talk about this because it is so good.
02:49It has 5% glycolic acid in it, which is a very gentle acid.
02:52It'll help kind of slough off dead skin cells.
02:54Really give you a good, refined, smooth texture.
02:57It smells good.
02:58I just honestly tap a little bit into my hands and just go straight onto my skin
03:02and follow up with my morning moisturizer.
03:05So for my morning moisturizer, I actually mix products.
03:08So this is the All Good Sunscreen Butter, which is a product that I discovered when I was doing my
03:12zero waste beauty routine.
03:13It is SPF 50 mineral sunscreen and it looks like white paint.
03:17But I really like the texture that it left on my skin.
03:21I find that mineral sunscreen can almost act as a primer.
03:24So I really enjoyed how this felt.
03:26But I wanted something that would make it just slightly easier to apply.
03:30So I decided to put a couple drops of facial oil into the sunscreen butter to give it a little
03:36bit more slip.
03:37So this is the ELF Nourishing Facial Oil.
03:39And it is a good, simple facial oil.
03:42Very hydrating, lightweight, absorbs quickly.
03:44And it has a kind of mixture of lightweight oils that I really like.
03:48So rosehip, jojoba, sweet almond.
03:50It's a very small amount, like a pea-sized amount of this sunscreen butter.
03:53A couple of drops of this, mix it together, apply it to my face.
03:56It makes it so much easier to rub in.
03:58It's just this perfect texture.
04:00Nice smooth finish that the mineral sunscreen gives it.
04:03But it gives it this dewiness because of the oils.
04:06And I think my skin looks really fresh.
04:07I'm wearing it now, like, with makeup over it.
04:10And I think my skin looks good.
04:13Alright, so that is it.
04:14Eight products, all under 15, that I love.
04:16A couple of items that I think are really, like, you should get them, like, today.
04:21I'll tell you.
04:22Three of them.
04:23Glow Tonic.
04:24Classic.
04:25Really good.
04:26This serum oil.
04:28Because, honestly, it is a just ridiculously good price for what it is.
04:33And last but not least, this cleansing balm.
04:35Because anything to encourage you guys to remove your makeup before you go to bed.
04:40And it's good.
04:40And it works really fast.
04:42That is it, guys.
04:43I hope you enjoyed this video.
04:44Please let me know in the comments if there's anything else that you guys want me to do.
04:48And I will catch you guys next week.
04:50Bye.
