It’s the height of winter, and temperatures here are almost sub-zero. For someone with already dry skin and hair, that means consistently slathering on hair and face masks. In fact, I LOVE masking. It’s so satisfying to me to have a clean slate of a face and glob on a moisturizer, toner, mask, whatever you like, really. You could say that this act is one of my pet faves – an ordinary thing that brings me extraordinary joy. That being said, I’m still a makeup fanatic, and an even bigger fan of affordable products. As can be seen my many Twitter memes, Sephora isn’t the cheapest place to buy your beauty products, but there are still a lot of little goodies that don’t break the bank to lift your spirits. I’ve rounded up reasonably-priced products that might help you start off the weekend right, and they’re all under $25!
