Spa days are fun, but they are expensive. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of beauty must-haves that you can use from the inexpensive comfort of your own home. From makeup to skincare products for an at-home pedicure, you can spoil yourself from head to toe to look and feel your absolute best.
Hair Care
Turn Your Messy Bun Into a Sleek Statement Updo
You know those girls who can pull off the messy bun and just make it look so effortless? I’m talking never-had-a-bad-hair-day, always-picture-perfect, probably-has-a-small-gang-of-friendly-woodland-creatures-helping-her-get-ready-each-morning kind of effortless. Well, we can offer some magic of our own with HairMagic’s Multi-Style Magic Hair Comb. It might just give those adorable furry hairdressers a run for their money. Designed to keep your hair in place, it also serves as a statement piece. It can be worn six different ways and can make even the laziest hairstyle look classic and chic.
Free Up Your Hands
When you’re a grown-up, mom’s not around to brush, dry, and style your hair. Now if I want someone to do my hair for me it will cost more than a few pretty pennies. Thankfully, the Hands-Free Blow Dryer Holder by Bestie Brands is a very easy, very affordable solution to self-styling. Simply hang your hairdryer up, angle it the way you want, and voíla! Hands-free drying so you can use both hands for brushing and styling. Now you can leave your house looking like you just had a blowout for the price of a handy Grommet.
Welcome to the Ice Age
It’s 2019, it’s time to bid adieu to the straightener you’ve been using since high school. In short, it is frying your hair. Temperatures of 150°F start to damage hair. They strip the moisture healthy hair needs and can lead to matted hair more easily. Again, that’s at 150°F. Flat irons typically reach 300°F.
The good news? Inverse Hair’s Ice Hair Conditioner Tool is here to fix years of trauma. Between -8°C and -3°C moisture is rapidly absorbed into the hair fiber creating an enduring elevated level of hydration in the fiber. Prolonged use of sub-zero temperatures helps restore dry and damaged hair to its former glory, making this tool your new best friend.
Makeup Must-Haves
Great Lighting, Perfect Makeup
Finding the right shade can be a challenge, but Spotlite HD LED Makeup Mirror is on your side. Designed to mimic natural daylight, you’ll see exactly what your makeup looks like once you step out in the sun. No more surprises when you step outside and find your foundation is more orange or yellow than anticipated. With this mirror, you’ll see a reflection of the true color of your cosmetics.
Blend Smart-er, Not Harder
Ah, blending. The only tried and true trick that will make sure your makeup looks beautifully contoured and natural. Some have the natural skill, and some don’t. If you, like me, fall into the latter category, have no fear. BlendSmart’s Rotating Makeup Brush takes care of all the manual labor and creates a beautiful, foolproof way to apply makeup. Whether you’re a powder or liquid foundation user, simply apply the foundation to the brush, hold it up to your skin, and the automatic rotation will maximize coverage with minimal motion or blending skills on your part.
A Pill For Your Face
Oleum Vera’s DIY Beauty Kit capsules are the perfect way to practice natural skin care at home. Not only do they arrive in an adorable capsule, but you’ll see the professional-grade results after the first use. Whether you’re breaking out, or just need to take some time for a little R&R, these DIY Beauty Kits and Organic Face Masks will take you on a tranquil spa-like experience from the comfort of your home. So the next time you are feeling stressed and need some time to yourself simply let your friends know you’re going to Oleum Vera. Just leave them to wonder what kind of luxurious spa that is as you take some “me” time on your couch binging your favorite shows and taking care of your complexion.
Nail Care

Skin Care Must Haves
No More Oily Sunblock
One of the best ways to ensure your skin will stay fresh and vibrant is to protect it from the harmful rays of the sun. No one likes the oily sunscreen that can cause breakouts. However, UV can damage your skin without you even noticing. Enter Brush on Block, a Mineral Powder Sunscreen. Instead of making your skin feel oily and icky, this easy application powder comes with SPF 30 protection and naturally occurring minerals like titanium dioxide and zinc oxide to protect your skin. And botanicals like chamomile and green tea extracts enrich, soothe, and replenish it. Because there’s no tint, you can wear it under makeup or over, making it an instant summertime hit.
A More Natural Way to Cleanse
Treat skin to a natural Konjac sponge that is made from fibers of the Konjac root. The Konjac Fiber Cleansing Sponge by Dew Puff transforms from super-hard to super-soft when it gets wet for plush feel against your skin. It helps cleanse your skin while providing extra-gentle exfoliation. There are also skin-specific sponges that best treat your complexion. Bamboo Charcoal helps combat breakouts, Asian Clay soothes dryness, and the Original sponge pleases any type of skin.
New Skin, New You
Ever feel like you just need to hit “reset” on your skin? With the Baby Foot At-Home Foot Treatment Masks, you can do just that. Each treatment removes dry skin from your feet layer by layer. After just an hour treatment, your dead skin will start to peel off little by little. Within two weeks, you’ll have brand new, healthier, and happier skin. It may sound weird, but trust us, it’s incredibly satisfying.
Try out any of these DIY beauty must-haves and you’ll see almost instant results. You’ll then feel even better knowing exactly how much effort went into them. Because now you have healthier and professional-looking hair, skin, nails, and makeup at a fraction of the cost and time!
These are awesome and would be amazing to have!
