Time for another round of Save vs Splurge! Maybe you’ve got the urge to do some online shopping while we’re all stuck at home or maybe you need to find some good deals so you can restock the essentials. Whatever the case, there is plenty to choose from in the natural beauty category these days. While some products are 100% worth the splurge, sometimes scoring a great product at a great price can be extremely satisfying. It’s all about balance. Whether you’re in the mood to treat yo’ self or you want to add in some budget-friendly items, you decide: Save vs. splurge?
Charcoal Facial Bar
Splurge: SkinOwl Charcoal Beauty Bar
SkinOwl is known for their quality skincare products and this cleansing bar is no exception. With activated charcoal and tea tree oil this bar is perfect for oily or breakout prone skin. $24
Save: Meow Meow Tweet Tea Tree Charcoal Facial Bar
The name says it all! This facial bar features some of the same key ingredients as the splurge version but at a much cheaper price. This also happens to be one of my favorite Target finds! *This bar is slightly smaller than the one above but still priced much cheaper per ounce. $7.99
Rose Quartz Gua Sha Tool
Splurge: Odacité Crystal Contour Gua Sha Rose Quartz
This happens to be my favorite gua sha tool that I own. The curves and shape of it are perfect for a nice gua sha facial massage. $45
Save: GingerChi Rose Quartz Gua Sha
I’ve never tried this particular tool, but I am a fan of some of GingerChi’s other facial tools. This one has the right curves and angles to perform gua sha and it has a much more budget friendly price tag! $26
Tinted Moisturizer with SPF
Splurge: Josh Rosebrook Tinted Nutrient Day Cream With SPF 30
Everything Josh makes is effective and made with the best of the best ingredients. One could argue that this is so much more than just a moisturizer with SPF, as it has so many beneficial ingredients to treat skin. $95 for 2 oz size
Save: Babo Botanicals Daily Sheer Tinted Facial Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30
When it comes to sun care, Babo Botanicals is an all around great line that works well and has been a longtime favorite of our whole family. If you’re looking for an affordable, clean tinted SPF product, this is it! $14.99 for 1.7 oz (currently on sale for even less!)
Violet Hued Eye Palette
Splurge: Vapour Hypnotic Eyeshadow Quad
Vapour is a leader when it comes to gorgeous natural makeup. Their Eyeshadow Quads are no exception and offer some splurge-worthy color combos. $48
Save: W3ll People Nudist Eye Palette- Violet Based Hues
W3ll People is always a top pick in my book and their gorgeous violet-based eyeshadow palette has similar colorways as Vapour’s but with an additional shadow included and almost half the price. $24.99
Organic Conditioning Lip Balm
Splurge: Vapour LUX Organic Lip Conditioner
Another gorgeous product from Vapour that looks and feels chic and leaves lips so smooth and soft with certified organic ingredients. $24
Save: Erbaviva Organic Lip And Cheek Balm
This one also happens to be certified organic and shares some of the same key ingredients as the splurge, like beeswax and calendula. It also clocks in with a much lower price tag. $13
