- Mascara did not come to play.
- I do feel like a princess with this one.
(upbeat music)
- Hi, I'm Elena Garcia and
I work on the market team
here at Buzzfeed, and what that means is
that I get to spend all
day online shopping.
Today I'm gonna show you guys five
of the best beauty
products that you can find
for under $15 on Amazon.
I've also recruited two of my colleagues,
Carolina and Vivian, to test these IRL,
to see if they actually
live up to the hype.
If any of these products
pique your interest,
they're all linked down below.
So feel free to check them out.
The first product I
wanna share with you guys
is the Cetaphil Pro Purifying Clay Mask.
Since I turned about 12 years old,
until this very day, I
will always have acne,
and this is one of the
few products that helps
kind of ease it down.
If you have big pores, it's
also really great for that
because it helps with
the texture of your skin.
There's something about
the way it leaves your skin
feeling so refreshed.
- This is what my skin
looks like before applying
the Cetaphil Clay Mask.
I'm really excited.
I have a lot of impurities right here
and I have them right here.
So I'm definitely gonna hit those spots.
- I think that masks are
the way to get your skin
in shape while you're at home.
I get hormonal acne
but I'm hoping this can
really help with my skin situation.
- Oh, and it comes with a spatula.
Love it.
So like I said, I'm gonna
put some on my nose.
- I've never actually used one of these
little spatula things.
Part of it makes me feel like, oh my God,
I'm like a mini aesthetician.
- I have very sensitive skin.
A good sign is that once
I put this on, it doesn't,
I don't feel any tingling or anything.
- It doesn't smell like anything.
For some reason, I thought
he was gonna have a scent
and it doesn't have one.
- We're gonna leave this
on for 20 minutes it says,
and then I'll come back.
We'll see what my skin looks like.
- My skin looks so taut.
My pores are really tight
right now in the best of ways.
- The scar is not even there anymore.
So that was pretty
impressive if you ask me.
- The next product I wanna show you guys
is the Schick Silk Touch-Up Face Razors,
which I know sounds intimidating.
At least it did to me.
But I did a little bit of research
and it turns out a lot of people,
like Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe,
all used to shave their face
because it's a fantastic exfoliant.
The key for application is to make sure
that you're using it on clean, dry skin.
It's important to break
your face up into sections
and use the razor at a 45
degree angle in short strokes.
It'll help clear away peach fuzz,
it'll help get rid of dead skin.
The blades are designed
with fine micro guards,
so you're not gonna be
cutting up your skin,
it's just a very light
kind of swoosh across.
- I've been plucking my own eyebrows
for about two, three years.
I'm really excited to
try this eyebrow razor
because I feel like it's
gonna be something different
and maybe something that I can get
a more clean finish to my eyebrows.
- For the most part there's just like
a little bit of hairs right
here that I can get done.
I'm sick of this unibrow section.
Like why do we grow hair there?
- I have some chin hair that I guess
I just kind of neglected
'cause #inthehouse.
- It's painless, which I love.
- It's kind of cool.
I see all the hair here.
That is a lot of hair.
- Let's get this unibrow action gone.
Oh, I just chopped something
off that I wasn't supposed to,
but it doesn't look bad.
Oh my God, it literally
gets rid of everything.
- The hair came off so easily
and my face feels so smooth,
especially my chin, because there was some
like skin damage from
a couple of years ago.
I'm gonna give this a 10 out of 10.
- Now we have to put moisturizer on
just 'cause like it's very exfoliating.
I think that's one thing that I would like
better about tweezers is
that gets the hairs out,
the root of it.
This one kind of chops the top off,
although it does do a very good job
and it's very painless.
- The next product I'm gonna show you guys
is O'Keeffe's for Healthy Feet Foot Cream.
It has over 7,000 five
star reviews on Amazon.
They recommend that you use it
immediately after showering or before bed.
That way it gives a time to
really soak in and do its magic.
It can heal your dry feet in ways
I don't know if the Lord ever intended.
- I do tend to get dry feet.
I do put moisturizer on them,
but I sometimes feel like
I need to put something
more thick, like a cream,
and this is a cream.
So maybe it will work.
- It's my bedtime now.
I'm going to apply the
Healthy Feet Foot Cream.
I'm gonna put these socks
on so the moisture stays.
Sleep on that tonight and then tomorrow
we'll see the results.
- It dissolves pretty quickly.
It said there might be some stickiness,
but I don't feel any stickiness.
- I just got out of the shower.
My callus on my right foot is gone,
it's practically gone.
Like, look.
It was here yesterday
and now it's not there.
And even when I took it
off before the shower,
my feet already looked very clear.
I think this is really good.
- The next I'm gonna show you guys
is the Essence Lash Princess Mascara.
This mascara is a crowd favorite
with over 7,000 five star reviews.
People swear by this stuff.
They say it doesn't fade.
They say it makes their lashes super long.
And it stays on all day without giving you
those like crusties underneath your eyes.
Plus, it's cruelty free.
- I don't have a lot of hair,
so it's not really thick.
So I definitely need mascara,
otherwise I just look
like I got a beat face
but it's not complete.
- Like look at that.
I didn't even curl my eyelashes
and it looks like they're curled.
- So far, ooh.
So this is the eye that is done
and this is the eye without.
That is a very visible difference, huh?
- This is $5?
This is ridiculous.
This is my lashes before.
Like literally look how long that looks.
That's insane.
- I'm actually gonna use this,
'cause I don't feel like putting
on strip lashes right now.
I feel like this is enough.
- It's 11 o'clock right now.
These lashes basically stayed on all day.
I'm pretty impressed.
I feel like they are a little flaky.
Actually, no, nothing came off.
This is probably the best thing
I've ever gotten in my life.
- And last but not least is
this hair scalp massager.
It has over 4,000 five star reviews.
It can cure all your
kind of aches and pains
or your headaches after a long day.
The key is the silicone
bristles that it has.
They're super flexible
and can move around,
and you can just do small circular motions
in sectioned off places on your head.
It's amazing what little
silicone bristles can do.
- A lot of multicultural women
have hair similar to mine,
and scratching the scalp
is definitely a thing.
So this is probably a way that you can
really get in there with your scalp
and not have to use your nails,
especially if you have press ons.
- Like, you know when you
go to like hair salons
and they like massage your scalp,
it literally feels like that.
And I really like the grip of this.
Look look.
- I almost feel like it's kind of helping
my curls be more defined.
Ooh yeah, this spot right
here, that feels so good.
- I don't know if I would spend money
on something like this.
I couldn't really feel a
difference within my hair,
but it did feel very nice.
It was a nice little massage.
- Is it something I'm
gonna rush to go buy?
Not necessarily.
I don't think it's like an urgent need.
But it's a nice little
luxury item to have.
- I really enjoyed every single product.
My top two are gonna be
number one, Lash Princess.
I've gotten so many compliments
from like using this.
Cetaphil Pro Clay Mask.
Honestly, my skin feel super smooth
and I do feel like my
pores are minimizing.
So these are my top two.
- I would definitely say the eyebrow razor
was surprisingly one of my favorites.
It got some hair off of my face
that I didn't even realize was there.
My other favorite is the
Essence Lash Princess
false lash effect mascara.
It's so cool because you actually
see my individual lashes.
Between the eyebrow razor and
this, I'm Gucci, I'm solid.
- Thanks so much for watching.
I really do hope you enjoyed
all of these products
that I selected.
