Today we’re sharing some personal faves, and they’re all under $50! It’s a random assortment of items we’ve purchased, use, love and recommend with confidence. It’s everything from clothing and beauty to home decor and kitchen finds. Here’s our latest picks.
Christa’s Faves Under $50 Picks
Heated Eyelash Curler and ILIA Limitless Lash Mascara – The perfect combo for great lashes! If you haven’t tried a heated eyelash curler, then this might be just what you need for your lashes. So much easier to use than the standard curler, and works much better. I received a sample of this mascara and LOVE it. Gives extra curl and volume to my fine/straight lashes.
IT Cosmetics Superhero 4-in-1 Eye Shadow Brush – I’ve been using this brush for years and love it. Has four different brushes in one. Applying eye makeup is so easy, and only one brush to clean!
Motion Sensor Closet Lighting – We’ve added these to all our closets. They’re one of those “why didn’t I do this sooner” purchases. Not just in the bedroom, they’re a great addition to your pantry, coat closet, linen closet, and storage closet. They’re also good under cabinet lighting in the kitchen, laundry room, anywhere you need a little extra light. The charge lasts up to 4 weeks in motion sensor mode, and they’re USB rechargeable.
Kissed by the Sun Multi-Use Blush & Bronzer – love layering this with a regular bronzer for a little extra cheek color.
Supergoop! Every.Single.Face Sunscreen – this might be the BEST sunscreen I have tried for my face. It goes on smooth, it’s very light, and it’s not greasy. I use this every morning.
Blog Fave Gap Factory Pants – These have been a blog favorite since we first shared them last month, and for good reason. They look great on, they’re super comfy, and they’re 60% off — making them under $25!! Comes in a charcoal/black color, too. See them styled HERE.
Stripes Resting Clean Face Cleanser – I started using the Stripes skincare last year and it’s still my go to. Love this light, gentle cleanser for daily use. And bonus – you can now buy all the Stripes products at Sephora.
Oversized Crewneck Sweatshirt – I wear this all the time when I want to be “loungey.” It’s soft, not too heavy, and oversized making it perfect when you want to get comfy for movie night. This is a great “save vs. splurge” of this $180 Anine Bing sweatshirt.
Spanx Powershorts – We’ve shared these before, but since I wear them all the time under all my dresses, they’re definitely worth mentioning again. (I think you all agree because they were a top item on the blog in July!) Grab a three pack on Amazon!
Waterproof Dog Bed – Best dog bed we’ve found. It’s waterproof, and the cover zips right off to easily wash it.

Megan’s Faves Under $50 Picks
I found this five pack of lip glosses on Amazon for $20 and they are ahhhh-mazing. Clearly a dupe of the $40 Christian Dior lip gloss (which I have), very similar. This is a great gift for a friend that needs a little pick me up.
Marvis Whitening Toothpaste is my go to, favorite toothpaste. Made in Italy by a family owned business the ingredients are clean compared to some of the US offerings. Minty and fresh!
Sunday supper with friends and family is my love language. I love to set a fun table and these cloth napkins make it easy. Add some matching flowers and you’ve got yourself a tablescape. AND cloth napkins are sustainable for those being more Earth conscience.
I’ve been preaching about my SOJOS sunglasses a lot lately and this clear pair just popped up. Sophie Richie is making these all the rage, for $15 why not try the trend?
Block print anything is my jam and this cotton voile pareo is perfect. I have one that corresponds to each of my bathing suites. Wear as a skirt or tie around your neck like a halter dress, or just drape over your shoulders if you’re getting too much sun.
Rynetta Davis of Really.Rynetta shared this cute dress from Target last month and I immediately added to cart. It’s cotton and soft and the blue is perfect. I’ve worn it with white sneakers and sandals. Pro tip: Hang to dry (don’t put it in the machine).
Always travel with a three pack of Hanes men’s tank undershirts. There are a million uses for these. Pjs top, with the pareo to eat lunch poolside. It also looks chic with a skirt or slacks or as an extra layer if needed. Seriously — you won’t be mad you packed these.
Long time Sand + Fog lover here, Tahitian Vanilla is my fav scent. Whenever I see this candle I buy it, you can never have too many. I recently discovered the hand soap and now that’s in my powder room, too!
Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream is my go to moisturizer year round. Maybe it’s because I’m over 50, but my skin has been extra dry and this keeps it nice and hydrated. I get a giant jug of this stuff and slather it down my neck and decolletage.
My go to panties this summer, a six pack from Amazon for $23. They don’t ride up and nothing spills over. Enough said.
