I am a contributor who has been writing for Buzzfeed Shopping for five years by finding fashion, beauty, and home products to help you ~romanticize~ your life.

1. A blurring and concealing primer to make your skin look filtered IRL. Fluffy in texture and cooling, you'll love topping off your skincare routine with this! Bonus: You don't need to put makeup over either; you can just enjoy the blurring effect.

Walmart

Promising review: "I had not used a makeup primer in years, and since I am a bit older, I wanted to give one a try. Read good reviews on this one and was happy with the results. Made my makeup go on smoother over my fine lines. I also noticed that my skin instantly looked smoother after applying it, even before I put on my makeup. Need to stock up." —Mom2twoMonkeys

Price: $13.97 

2. A CoverGirl lip butter balm because your lips are in need of a little TLC right now. Nourishing and plumping, this formula combines shea butter, hyaluronic acid, and fatty acids to keep your lips perfectly kissable.

Walmart

3. A Curology cleanser that is gentle on sensitive skin and will help soothe and balance dry skin. It'll cleanse your face without stripping it, making it a great addition to your morning or nighttime routine.

Walmart

Promising review: "This has been the most amazing face wash. I wash my face religiously twice a day, and this face wash has been the absolute best one I’ve tried. My skin is clear and pure. It’s gentle yet effective. Love Curology, my new go-to face wash." —Katie

Price: $12.92

4. Or! A Garnier micellar water to remove all of your makeup, including waterproof mascara, after a long day. Micelle molecules work together to trap dirt, oil, and makeup, while also providing a gentle cleanse for your face. You don't even have to rinse this off!

Walmart

Promising review: "The very first time I used Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water, I was amazed at how well it removed all my makeup! I usually use about four cotton pads to remove everything. It never leaves my skin feeling dry or oily. One night, I was so tired that I fell asleep without washing my face after using it, and my skin still felt hydrated the next morning. This is an amazing makeup remover, and I'm a repeat buyer!" —anonymous

Price: $3.82+ (originally $4.49+; available in three sizes and packs of two) 

5. Or! A pack of Neutrogena's iconic makeup-removing wipes that'll be so helpful for taking off stubborn concealer, foundation, mascara, and eyeliner. No harsh scrubbing is required, as they gently remove everything before you apply cleanser and other skincare essentials.

Walmart

I've been using these for years, and this is my favorite style. I love how they don't feel harsh or heavy on my sensitive skin. They do a great job of removing makeup; however, I always follow them with a cleanser. 

Promising review: "I absolutely love that it takes only one makeup wipe to remove all your makeup! No effort at all! It is so easy, so convenient, so time-saving! I highly recommend these makeup wipes, they're the only ones I ever use!❤️" —Regina

Walmart

Promising review: "I use this on my skin after cleansing as part of my skincare, and I love how immediately hydrating it is. not in a greasy way; your skin feels hydrated, but it's not sticky or anything. I'm sensitive to scents, and this smells like nothing, which I love, so it won't clash with everything that does." —Walmart customer

Price: $9.97

7. An anti-blemish padto prevent breakouts and clarify areas on your forehead, cheeks, and chin. It has 2% salicylic acid to help combat oil and acne. FYI, this will be a little bit tingly when you apply it due to its eucalyptus extract and menthol formula.

A little goes a long way, and it’s definitely lightened some of my hyperpigmentation along my neck and around my mouth and nose areas. I also notice the dark circles underneath my eyes seem to be less noticeable and less puffy. Definitely recommend. Especially for the price!" —Andrea

Price: $18.68+ (also available in a larger size) 

10. A Good Molecules hyaluronic acid serum, because your skin could always use a little bit more hydration. This bb has two different molecular weights of hyaluronic acid, so it hydrates several layers of your skin. Bonus: It's lightweight and water-based, so it won't leave a heavy or greasy feeling on your face.

Walmart

Promising review: "Read the reviews and decided to try this one out. The reviews weren't lying. This serum is hands down my favorite skincare item I've purchased! It is light, super hydrating, and leaves my skin feeling so soft and moisturized. The dropper is the perfect size for the amount needed! My skin has never felt better, and my pores are almost imperceptible now! I will say that the serum feels sticky at first after application, but the stickiness disappears after about three minutes. If you're on the fence, do yourself a favor and just get it! For the price, you can't go wrong!" —anonymous

Price: $5.97+ (also available in a larger size)

11. An E.l.f. hydrating moisturizer to keep your face nice and soft, even if you're dealing with the always-changing air outside. I love this product immensely, and I use it frequently. I love how lightweight, calming, and hydrating it is. My skin always looks ~soo~ good when I use this!

Walmart

Promising review: "If you have dry, sensitive skin, I think you'll love this cleanser! I already love Good Molecules as a brand, but this was my first time purchasing the cleanser. It has almost a jelly-like consistency, but the lather is kinda creamy. It's gentle, but still cleanses well (without stripping your skin's oils). I love how immediately after rinsing, my skin feels more hydrated. I also noticed that it helps to reduce redness, and my skin overall feels calmed. There's also a very light scent that I absolutely love. It smells like crisp, spring water… It's so refreshing. I'm so glad I decided to give it a try; I will definitely be repurchasing!" —Tiffany

Price: $11.97

13. A cooling and hydrating serum stick to make you look ready to take on the day, even if you don't want to leave your bed. This combo of caffeine, green tea oil, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin E can help plump and soothe puffy under-eye bags or dehydrated skin.

Walmart

Promising review: "I love this product! It provides a cooling feeling under my eyes but does not burn at all. It truly works, too. I've noticed a huge improvement with my puffiness and dark circles. With the affordable price, I will be continuing to purchase this product and suggest it to anyone who will listen." —Kimberly
