Our beauty favorites of the year at low prices

Our team has tested and approved beauty products this year. Of the lot, nine low-cost products caught our attention. Inflation obliges and just for you, here they are again.

Eye mask, Teaology, $5

A skincare product that slips into a card, no matter the occasion? This one does it perfectly and makes you smile every time. Because we’re all a little funny with bands under the eyes, like before with cucumber slices! In addition to being nice, this little gift is good as soon as it is applied. We feel the freshness which imposes (almost!) a well-being break, in addition to giving a little oumph welcome. And the bands are biodegradable!

Double Trouble Mascara, $6.99

Easy to use with its double-sided applicator, this low-cost mascara defines lashes and adds beautiful volume, without overdoing it. In addition, it is vegan, without parabens, silicones or microplastic particles! A perfect product for everyday use.

Forest Soap, Groom, $12

One thing is certain, in winter, it smells of fir. Especially if you treat yourself to one of Groom’s “Forest soaps”, a bar with shea butter and boreal fragrances, embellished with a gentle exfoliant made from crushed fir needles. Conifer gum is also used to ensure hardness. Durable and pleasant.

Colossal Curl Bounce Mascara, Maybelline, $12.99

This Colossal Curl Bounce mascara from Maybelline curls lashes perfectly, while giving volume! After all, that’s what you want from a mascara, isn’t it? Its price is low and your gaze will be intense!

Florence by Mills Eyebrow Pencil, $16

The eyebrow pencil from the brand created by actress Millie Bobby Brown is one of the newest additions to the popular and extensive line of beauty products. The line can be thin or thicker, as desired, and the result lasts for hours. Beware of the (too) fragile tip, however! Other than that small flaw, this product is well worth it.

Foot beauty cream, Caudalie, $20

Made with shea butter and red vine extract, this foot cream literally works wonders. Even the most neglected heels can’t resist it.

Uriage dermo-cleansing fluid, $22

This makeup remover is one of our favorite products of the year. It will suit the most sensitive and redness-prone skin, gently cleanses and removes traces of makeup well.

The Quartz Ritual by Selv, $24 each

We love the fresh rose scent of this shower gel (which also comes in a bubble bath) from the Quebec brand Selv. To feel like summer, no matter what month of the year.

Zoé, organic plumping treatment, Zorah, $25

Still looking for THE moisturizer for your lips? Do not search anymore. We love here the mint and vanilla scent of this vegan and Quebec brand, for a boost of freshness and instant hydration. To keep close, to spend the winter in style. For the plumping side, however, we will go back.
