If there's anything I've learned in my adult years, it's that feeling hot AF is a state of mind. I feel hot AF when I'm wearing my favorite dress alongside my favorite knee-high boots — and I also feel hot AF when I'm sitting on the couch wearing pajamas, glasses, and a facial mask. To me, it's about taking the time for self-care, which is why name brands and expensive price tags shouldn't (and don't) matter. Basically, I'm not going to drop hundreds on my wardrobe and beauty routine when Amazon is filled with brilliant finds that make me look and feel 10-times better — all while fitting into a relatively strict budget.
In fact, people are usually shocked when they point to anything on my being and the response is always: "Amazon." From my everyday purse to my favorite swimsuit to the dress I own in four colors, this online retailer never lets me down when I decide to treat myself with affordable hidden gems. It's also my go-to for hair-care, makeup, and skin-care products, because (in addition to the affordability factor), I've learned how to use the reviews to figure out if a product will work for me — way before I ever decide to spend money on it.
So, in short, if you're looking to get yourself into that hot AF mindset, look no further than these gorgeous buys that are all under $30.

3A Hypoallergenic, Smudge-Proof Mascara That Volumizes Like Nothing Else

Nothing compares to this one."
