$5 Makeup That's RIDICULOUSLY Good!

[@evalozano8779]

OMG your top is adorable!!!! i can't even get thru the 1st minute of the video without commenting

[@JenPhelps]

Aw thank you so much Eva! I got it last year at JC Penney. I never usually shop there but I was going to the Sephora that's inside JCP and spotted this on my way past the women's section and had to grab it! It's from St. John's Bay (I think it's called Embroidered Top or something like that). I see them on Poshmark every once in a while.

[@shannon4948]

I was just going to write the same thing ☺️

[@aura3337]

Loving your blouse! So springy and cute!

[@amandadelatorre3790]

Eva Lozano seriously 1:32 in and i was coming to say the same! It’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen!!!

[@RavenC1357]

Same!!! I love that boho look

[@anonymous-dc3bt]

This is EXACTLY the kind of content we all need right now. I would love to see a part 2 if you can come up with more $5 and under products. I'm on a strict budget right now but I also don't want to buy crap, lol.

[@gladyskravitz3715]

Yes! I agree!

[@michelleb4392]

@anonymous on a budget go check out Brittany Nichole

[@anonymous-dc3bt]

@@michelleb4392 thank you for the suggestion!

[@amandawhitlock8607]

I have all 4 of those Essence blushes, they're SOOO good! I like them better than a lot of my high end blush. I also got the Sun Club bronzer after seeing it in a Kathleen Lights video and you're right, it's so much product for an affordable price and it's really soft. The color is good too.

[@elainestewart7188]

Are there darker bronzers in the rang and how do they look?

[@janetparson4995]

Loved this video. Can you do a video under $10 affordable makeup?

[@larissamartinez6880]

First of all, your top is so cute, I think that every time you wear it. Second, your makeup looks so pretty and the fact that it's all under $5 is amazing and it just goes to show that you don't need to spend a lot to look amazing. Love ya!

[@natalievelasquez8126]

Dollar General actually puts anti theft scanning devices on each bottle of Believe Beauty foundation (at least in my area) I guess it’s pretty popular! I LOVE it!! This isn’t under 5.00, but I just got the Essence G’Day Sydney eyeshadow palette and it’s beautiful and only 9.99 The shimmers are stunning!

[@joannakowalska9247]

Essence eyeshadow are comparable to other good brand? Good quality with each shadow?

[@allthescarves]

So much fun! That Lash Princess is fantastic, and you've inspired me to get those ELF shadows...

[@leahmiranda8359]

Drugstore is really upping their game!

[@JenPhelps]

Yes they are! :)

[@gladyskravitz3715]

Jen, everytime you have a drugstore or affordable makeup vid, I get so excited! I have bought many drugstore items on your recommendation & have never been disappointed. In order to spend more time with my family, I took a job with wonderful hours, but with a significant pay cut. I'm going to have to start using more drugstore makeup (even haircare.) You are the queen of finding the best affordable makeup, so keep the vids coming. 👸

[@metrini]

Love these types of videos!! Thank you!

[@KieraJo]

Great video, Jen! A reminder that inexpensive does not always mean lower quality. I love the products that I’ve tried that you mentioned here, and I’m definitely interested in the ones I haven’t!

[@mrsblondback]

Love this--great video concept!

[@JenPhelps]

Thank you so much Laura! 🤗💕

[@meitalkabeli509]

The Essence blush and highlights are my favorite affordable drugstore products. The blushes are so pigmented and do not fade on my skin. The highlighter is perfect for that glowy look.

[@JenPhelps]

I agree with everything you said! They're awesome and as good of not better than high-end!

[@MSUSPARTANS1973]

This is surprising- another worthwhile, wonderfully done video from Jen! I “know” influencers still wear, and rave, about that Essence highlighter- from people who want to be seen from space to those who want it subtle. Gotta pick it up! I have a few of those ELF quads and I’d absolutely put the mattes and shimmers up against ANY luxury brand!

[@shellteresa778]

Great products. I have a lot of those products. I want to try the essence bronzers. The shade you got looks like will work perfect for me too. Yes, would love to see another video like this. I love your shirt!!

[@carriemeadows3518]

Next, $10 and under favorites? I love elf primer infused blushes and the sheer slick lip colors, plus those bite size shadows. You sold me on the Profusion emerald palette and maybe the violet one, too, as well as the brushes. I have some I don't really like using and have been looking for affordable replacements that actually work! 😊

[@eundahl2011]

I totally agree on the Profusion $10 palettes. The 21 and 24 pan palettes are amazing. I have a ton of them. I might have overdid it a bit lol

[@eleanorsandborne1469]

The Believe Beauty foundation is so good, I've purchased it twice now and I saw it first on your channel last year. It seems like this year a lot of bigger KZbinrs have discovered it too and it's really worth the hype. I also like the Wet n Wild one you mentioned too.

[@estinnin9864]

Allie Glines loves it too

[@shawnmomof2]

Very well done. I wish I could find the green elf shadow set in stores.

[@rainbowpeachiz]

I had to order it off line I couldn't find it anywhere

[@janelb7707]

Jen, I want to say I just love your personality in your videos! I love that you can get your point across about being excited about a product without the dramatics. Thank you!!

[@believebeauty1844]

So glad you're enjoying the Skin Finish Foundation, Color Correcting Concealer & new Cream Blushes! Thank you for sharing, Jen!!

[@tammyherrera7262]

The Wet N Wild eyeshadow palettes in My Glamour Squad and Rose in the air😊❤️💄

[@JenPhelps]

Yes! Those are awesome too!

[@octaviacastillo7421]

I would add the elf brow pencil. $2 and finally have stopped trying anything else!

[@AnalynC1229]

This is EXACTLY what I love affordably thank you Jen. xoxo

[@jthomas0324]

Amazing that now we can do a full face of makeup for under $100 (depending on what's used, maybe even under $50). I haven't bought a high-end product really in forever and I'm not mad at all about it!!

[@JenPhelps]

It really is incredible! My look today was around $45 or so! Pretty amazing!

[@lubazak636]

Love the Lash Princess waterproof one. Love the elf bite size shado

[@trybesiman]

I'm constantly blown away by essence products. The make face and lip products so well! And so cheaply!

[@kimridel8851]

You look so pretty today. Loved this video. Great idea. Amazing how many great deals there are out there. Thanks for the value and cheaper finds 👍😊. Especially now. Very necessary!! Love your top too!

This was an excellent video. Thank you. Yes please film more affordable products videos :)

[@katelynnyangweso2961]

Girl you called out so many of my faves!!! The Believe foundation and cream blush, in Dollface especially, are my go to's. I love my Essence bronzer palette and I just got the Profusion Emeralds at Walmart the other day and omgggggg. I committed the ultimate makeup sin and slept in it and it was still in tact the next morning!!

[@meganlouisehillman7260]

Whenever I want new affordable makeup to try I always come to your channel Jen. ❤️ Everything I've bought because of you I have absolutely loved. A part two would be amazing.

[@thegoodanfamily9817]

The Believe Beauty foundation is my every day foundation 😃. Limited shades, but I'm mixing 2 shades at the moment.

[@glow_with_cindy]

I use it, too. It's amazing! I stopped buying the Benefit foundation and it has saved me soooooooo much money!

[@tinahilliker6496]

This is my favorite type of video, all about saving money. Thanks 😊

[@eundahl2011]

I adore the Profusion $5 palettes. You get so much bang for your buck

[@kimberlyluther4899]

Loved this video! Some of those items were on my should I try list. Thank you!

[@tamarasparks8065]

I have an oily t-zone and did a side by side of the Believe and the new UD foundations. Exactly the same coverage, look and longevity. I was very surprised. Essence lash princess green one and the new waterproof are also must haves for me. Milani lipsticks are under 5 and I own 4 of them now. Dulce Carmello is my perfect nude.

[@maryguise9443]

Love, love, love these affordable makeup videos - especially the $5 and under ones! Please do more! Thanks 💗😊

[@christahodges]

I had purchased the whole Profusion brush set from hearing you rave about them and they are great brushes! Everyone should try them at least once!🙌👍😊

[@JenPhelps]

Thank you so much! I am always amazed at how many great products there are under $5 and under $10! Drugstore makeup has gotten so good in recent years you almost don't need to buy high end anymore!

[@stacykrolczyk5776]

This info is ah-MAY-zing, sister + knew Elf was generally good, but those Dollar General deals? That blush that gives makes Fenty blushes blush? Wow!!! Can't wait to go to DG after lockdown!! Thanks for the heads up!

Yes definitely check out the Believe Beauty at Dollar General! Its made by the same company as Flower Beauty.

[@joannakowalska9247]

Great selection! Is it possible to find good below 10, 15 $ natural colorful makeup? Lily lolo seems a bit on expensive side. I found felicea blushes but not available in us or uk.

[@lindsays6233]

I just tried the maybelline fit me dewy and smooth foundation and I was SO impressed! It looked natural and wore beautifully all day. I'm kicking myself for not trying it sooner!

Just love finding hidden gems on that site. I remember Profusion having really terrible eyeshadow from wayyy back, but you've convinced me to give them another shot. That Emerald palette is truly gorgeous! Also cute top 😊

I need to try the believe beauty foundation. I haven't tried any essence products. I'm literally waiting for an order ( tomorrow ) I got the highlight. I prefer a more gentle glow. I also picked up another Elf Bite sized palette in berry bad. I picked up the ELF earth and ocean that you love. It's so perfect ! I'm tempted to try blue even. I'm smitten !

[@JenPhelps]

That's awesome Tracy! I think you'll really love the highlight, especially if you like a gentle glow!

[@kimberygraf5404]

I picked up a Profusion 21-shade palette in "Gold Rush" (comes with a brush, too) from WalMart yesterday on an essential WalMart supply run for $10 USD. I've been craving a yellow eye look for Spring and this has so many different, lovely tones in it. I believe it's also available on the Profusion website.

[@saranyabiswas2057]

Hi Jen finally am Able to watch ur videos after a few days .. I heard about Essenes about 10 years back from my sister who lives in Europe and I think it’s a German brand .. since I just got in to make yo few years ago rediscovered it and love it .. both elf and Essenes surprises me everytime at how affordable they are and that they are so widely available every where in the world and are cruelty free ❤️

[@kathybrou1340]

Elf has blown me away lately. I bought their primer infused bronzer, wow. I love the blushes. I love the new face oil. Not under 5$, but much cheaper than what I usually spend! The eye palletes are amazing, 18 pan and bite size.
