I always feel terribly excited when I discover a lipstick or a lipgloss under $10 that has an excellent formula. Well, I should say finding anything cheap in the makeup world with an excellent formula always brings me a little thrill.

I think as a makeup junkie I consider myself an Indiana Jones of sorts. Always seeking out new and exciting beauty finds! Some of those best finds are the ones that are inexpensive with great formulas.

Here are 8 under $10 lipsticks and lipglosses to try that are formulated brilliant and won’t cost you a ton of money to try!

I couldn’t help but think what a wonderful Mother’s Day Gift the Lollia Petite Handcream Set would make! Not for my mom though…le sigh! I’m not sure where I came from. I like to think aliens popped me onto my parent’s doorstep and they took me in of the kindness of their hearts because I am seriously, not like my mom (but a bit like my dad so there’s that). She’s so not into beauty, makeup, skincare, etc….! Although the exception to that rule would be fragrance! She does so love perfume!

But lipstick? Nay! Foundation? Nope! Hopefully when I’m her age I look as young as she does. Dunno how she did it but she’s not one for expensive skincare or beauty yet she still looks incredible.

So I guess, the Lollia Petite Hand Cream Set won’t be a great gift for her.

But for m?

Hell yes!

I love Lollia anyway! I mean, have you tried Lollia Wish? Shame on you if you haven’t because it smells amazings!

This gift set comes packaged in a luxe pink box ready for gifting and includes:

• Breathe Petite Treat Handcream
• Calm Petite Treat Handcream
• In Love Treat Handcream
• Relax Petite Treat Handcream
• Wander Petite Treat Handcream
• Wish Petite Treat Handcream

Get the set now at neimanmarcus.com (I may have already ordered it for myself!).
