Makeup for a $1.00?! Is that a thing? If I told you it was, would you believe me? Probably not.

But, it's true! You just have to know where to look. And I have just the places! Read on to find out where on earth to find beauty and cosmetic products for as little as $.60!

1. Google Shopping

Now, I'm not quite sure as to how many people utilize this service, but I came across it about four months ago and I've been hooked ever since! I've bought tons of e.l.f. and Wet-n-Wild cosmetics for under $1.00! The best part is that they are still great quality products! The packages are never torn, the containers are always intact and the product is never shaken up or crushed.

Because we all know how it goes: buy makeup, get superexcited, get home, find makeup at bottom of bag crushed by the jar of spaghetti sauce and chilled to the point of clumping from the ice cream.

One of the greatest perks of Google Shopping is that they provide promo codes, discounted prices, and deals regularly. Almost any product you look for is going to be a deal, at a discounted rate, or promo'ed. If you haven't already, I highly suggest looking into it!

It's also easy to use: Simply Google search "makeup for $1 or less" and go to the 'Shopping' section of the Google search bar. Voila! Tons of makeup for $1!

Reminder: These products are pulled from other sites, so be aware that sign-ups or other types of subscriptions may apply.

2. Dollar Tree

I know that we all hear the word Dollar Tree and think 'shit quality', half-ass production, and ripped packaging. However, If you're a bargain hunter like myself, you just can't pass up an entire makeup reboot for less than $12.00!

To give you some insight into how much I spend versus how much I get, I've listed my last expedition's purchases and literal costs (check the link at the bottom of the article if you think I'm fibbing):

  • Sassy+Chic B.B. Beauty Benefit Cream: Multi-action (skincare + makeup); Light - $1.00
  • L.A. Colors pressed finishing powder; Nude - $1.00
  • Colormates light & medium compact powder - $1.00
  • Colormates pressed powder blush; Rose Beige - $1.00
  • L.A. Colors 6-color expressions eyeshadow palette; Neutral - $1.00
  • L.A. Colors mascara; Black - $1.00
  • Colormates auto eyeliner; Black - $1.00
  • Colormates long-lasting formula lipstick+liner combo pack; Dark Pink Frost - $1.00

This brings us to a grand total of $7.00 for all of these products!

Now, the only downside to Dollar Tree is that, on their website, you have to order in bulk. The minimum for bulk-packs is 24 singles. This brings you to $24.00 on each item you purchase.

I suggest shopping in-store for the things you don't buy very often and visiting their website for the things you buy all the time. That way, you're still saving money!

ShopMissa.com

Shopmissa.com is another great online platform that has tons of makeup for only $1.00! Plus, they have a great loyalty/rewards program and you can receive free shipping on orders over $35!

They are also a cruelty-free company, meaning they never perform tests on animals. In fact, they love animals so much that they decided to create a charity!

Paw Paw Charity program is sponsored by Miss A. They regularly have promos that go on to raise money for their charity. So, in short, you'll be looking fabulous, bargaining, and donating to a great cause! What's better than that?

This site is a must for those bargain hunters and animal lovers out there who still love to look fabulous! Why spend a fortune?

Sephora

Now, if you're looking for a bargain but not necessarily the $1 kind, Sephora may be the place for you. They have a huge selection of makeup that's very affordable, as well as facial, skincare, and perfume products.

As a plus, they have a great loyalty/rewards program, are partnered with EBates, and give their loyal members a chance to actually test their products! Become an Insider for Sephora and get the chance to receive free product samples with every purchase (three, to be exact)!

Visit Sephora.com!

Which one is for you?

Now that we've gone over four of my personal favorites, it's time for you to decide. Which one is best for you? Are any of them what you were looking for? How can this help you?

I love bargain-shopping, and these four are the all-time best, in my opinion. And, the price and quality go hand-in-hand! Not only will you receive a great deal on these products, but you will also be receiving the same exact quality as you would at a retailer or makeup store! It's a win-win.

So, soak it in, do some research, pick the one that best fits your needs, and watch the products roll in faster than ever!
