The temperature may be dipping, but don’t let the chill get you down: freshen up your beauty routine with these fun and easy additions to your make-up bag— all for less than $10!

Make-up giant Sephora and nail authority OPI have teamed together for a new fall line of nail polish ($9). There’s plenty of pinks and reds, but it’s hues like the moody navy Opening Night, deep wine-colored I’m With Brad, and gloomy black with a hint of hunter green called Dark Room that make this polish the easiest way to get chic for fall. (Bonus: the color names could not be cuter.)

It happens to the best of us: dark under-eye circles from a long night of studying, a zit because you passed out from the long night without washing your face, and redness from where you attacked the zit the next day. Neutrogena’s 3-in-1 concealer ($9.79) covers it all in an easy-to-use squeeze tube, plus you get bonus skin protection with SPF 20. You’ll look as fresh as a Neutrogena spokesmodel (Vanessa Hudgens, anyone?).

Who has time to sit with a palatte of eye shadows, layering on color after color for a perfectly put-together look? Sephora brand Iridescent Cream Shadow ($6) comes in pretty shades like sheer blue and lilac that work well on their own. In a pen form, this eyeshadow is a cinch to apply— even when you’re rushing out the door.

Your mom/best friend/roommate swears by her trusty pink-and-green tube of Maybelline Great Lash, but this just in: there’s something better. Maybelline Great Lash Big Mascara ($5.99) pairs the classic no-clump formula with a HUGE new brush. One swipe and you’re good to go!

Snowflakes are fun. Chapped lips are not. When the winter weather hits, grab a moisturizing lip balm like Smith's Rose Salve ($6). This soothing, rose-scented cult favorite makes a great lip gloss but also can be used on dry elbows, knees, hands and cuticles. Packed in a cute vintage tin, this popular product will keep your lips shiny and smooth all winter long.
