Beauty on a budget? I’m a deal hunter, and these weekend steals start at just $8

Have a vacay planned? This is the stuff that will make you want to show some skin. It gives you an instant glow, plus it dries down matte and doesn't streak, smear or leave a greasy film.

One longtime fan swore it's her favorite: "I've been tanning since I was 12 years old. I'm in my 60s now, and the 40-some years I tanned are sure showing now. I have tried almost every single self-tanner out there, then I came across this! It is one of the lesser-priced tanners, but you'd never know it. It lasts until your next shower. The most realistic-looking tanner you'll find."

To tackle those under-eye imperfections, this hydrating eye cream blends jojoba oil, aloe vera and hyaluronic acid to refresh and soothe, while licorice root extract goes after dark circles. It also includes vitamin E for antioxidant power and the peptide Matrixyl 3000 to firm skin and reduces darkness, redness and inflammation.

"Today, I was carded. I'm 49," said one longtime user. "The woman did a double take when she looked at me. She couldn't believe I am 49! I've used eye cream for years, but this gel is just wonderful. I use it day and night and I have almost no eye wrinkles at 49."

Laura Geller’s Spackle isn’t your average primer. Made for mature skin, it's loaded with hyaluronic acid to hydrate, smooth while helping your makeup stay put. It's lightweight, not greasy or tacky, so you may even forget it's even there, fans say. Plus, you can wear it alone or under foundation.

"Goes on smoothly, doesn't cake," shared a beauty enthusiast. "Kiss your face a beautiful glow and it's tinted [so] it's perfect. I don't like to wear a lot of makeup anymore, being 54 years old. This is perfect, especially for summertime. So happy with this product."

With ingredients like lactic acid AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) and salicylic acid BHA (beta hydroxy acid), Medicube Zero Pore Pads exfoliate, cleanse and smooth out the skin.

"Magic in a tub," proclaimed one devotee. "I have combination skin, and very noticeable pores on my nose. Although the pores on my nose have not completely gone away (which I wasn't expecting), they have minimized, and my skin overall looks more radiant and smooth. I love that these pads are so moisturizing. I normally have reactions and burning to acids, but this is gentle and leaves my skin feeling plump and moisturized."

Naturewell Clinical Retinol Advanced Moisture Cream can be used from head to toe for smooth, radiant skin. Expect deep hydration and skin-firming power thanks to micro-encapsulated retinol which improves elasticity, texture and tone. It's also cruelty-, paraben-, dye-free and made in the USA.

"This is the best, most effective product that I have ever used," an excited shopper shared. "It’s just a fact. I have almost no age spots after one year. I’m old! My skin doctor can’t believe it. It’s like a miracle. My biggest fear about it is that it will someday not be available ... It’s like it’s too good to be true."

Snail mucin, peptides and niacinamide come together for a hydrating cream that brightens and smooths all while tackling fine lines, puffiness and dark circles. What more could you ask for? Lightweight yet super nourishing? It does that too, leaving your under-eyes refreshed and glowing.

"It’s a game-changer!" gushed a skin care enthusiast. "I’ve used it for two days, I’m 51 and gave up Botox about a year ago. I had some deep cross feet and prominent lines above my eyebrows. I woke up this morning and the cross feet are about 80% less! My eyebrow lines are barely there and my under eyes are quite noticeably better! I’m a terrible insomniac and I’ve been ill so the under eye may take longer but I’m going to be using it on other parts of my face too!"

Looking to smooth out fine lines? This serum is overflowing with retinol and antioxidants to refine skin, boost radiance and fight signs of aging over time. Lightweight yet potent, it absorbs quickly and is gentle enough for daily use.

"I love this formula!" gushed a wowed shopper. "I have been using it for years. I know I sound like a commercial when I say a friend who I hadn’t seen for months asked what happened to all my wrinkles. I am 75 years old and that was the best compliment ever! Just be patient it does take at least 2 weeks to see results!"

Ready to plump up your complexion? This hyaluronic acid binds water to the epidermis for smoother, hydrated and more supple skin. The American Academy of Dermatology notes that the amount of hyaluronic acid in the skin starts to decrease in your early 20s and is reduced by half when you hit 50, leading to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

According to one five-star reviewer, it's a great serum to use in conjunction with harsher anti-aging ingredients: "I use dermatologist-prescribed retinol to help slow the signs of aging on my 50-year-old skin. My dermatologist recommended adding this serum to my skin-care routine and wow! My skin is so soft and hydrated." The same reviewer went on to say that the serum "soaks in quickly and makes your skin feel so refreshed! A little (a few drops) goes a long way!"
