Our Top 10 Product Recommendations for Under $30
Everyone has a budget—and these days, it might seem tighter than ever. Here’s some good news, though: at The Color Room, "ballin’ on a budget" is easier than you think!
In this month’s blog post, we’re featuring 10 of our favorite products that you can get for less than a tank of gas.
#1 - TELETIES
TELETIES are a game changer! These hair ties keep your hair in place, look cute and stylish, and protect your hair.
Regular hair ties can break and crease your hair. With TELETIES, all you get is a perfectly pulled-together look.
TELETIES last longer, come in a variety of colors and sizes, work great in the water, and offer a strong grip that doesn’t give you that horrible “ponytail headache.”
#2 - Poppy & Pout Exfoliating Lip Scrub
Who says clean beauty has to cost a fortune? This Allure Best of Beauty 2024 winner is sure to upgrade your lip routine. The clean formula gently exfoliates delicate lip skin using 100% all-natural ingredients.
Your lips will stay soft, hydrated, and kissable, even after a day (or five) at the beach or in the sun.
Stock up and never be without your new favorite lip scrub this summer!
#3 - Tiri Mini Chrome Brush
A quality travel-size hair brush can be hard to find, but we have you covered. Check out the Tiri Mini Chrome Brush, made from premium boar head bristles.
You’ll enjoy gentle detangling, even distribution of hair oils, and less breakage. Did we mention this brush has the most elegant design?
This brush might be tiny, but it’s fiercely AH-mazing!
#4 - R+Co TELEPORT
R+Co’s TELEPORT styling gel is the perfect addition to your hairstyling routine. We love this product because it works well for all hair lengths and cuts. Get creative with your hair and feel confident knowing you’ll get hold without sacrificing flexibility and natural movement.
Additionally, this product’s ingredients nourish hair with ample hydration and protect it with a major boost of antioxidants. You’ll also get shinier and smoother hair with every use.
#5 - Aveda Color Control
Who wants to deal with baggage fees while traveling? Not you! Our TSA-approved, travel-sized Aveda Color Control shampoo and conditioner keep your tresses looking vibrant when you’re traveling near or far.
Made with botanical ingredients, you never have to worry about harsh chemicals stripping your hair. The combination of apricot and bio-fermented arginine work beautifully together to lock in color and shine by smoothing and sealing each strand’s cuticle.
Get the travel-sized duo for under $30 and rock your best travel hair!
#6 - Clay Sweet Tobacco by 18.12
This one is for the guys! Do you want a shine-free look and feel that thickens hair and provides texture?
Clay Sweet Tobacco by 18.21 smells nostalgic, like you just returned home from a 1920s speakeasy surrounded by Virginia pipe tobacco. The formula is ideal for short to medium hairstyles, and its non-greasy blend doesn’t leave behind any residue when you run your hands through your hair—or when someone special does.
#7 - Glide Shave Lotion by 18.12
Here’s another great 18.21 product for men: Glide Shave Lotion by 18.21. What makes this shaving lotion unique is that it’s colorless. It goes on clear so you can see exactly what you’re doing at all times.
It’s also two products in one: a pre-shave lotion and an aftershave lotion. Used as a pre-shave lotion, it softens the skin to prepare for shaving. Then, as an aftershave, its ingredients calm and soothe to prevent irritation.
#8 - Suncatcher Leave-in Conditioner by R+Co.
Our hair is exposed to things all day long that strip its moisture: ultraviolet rays, hard water, extreme temperatures, and even our home’s heating and air conditioning. A nourishing and protective leave-in conditioner is the best defense against environmental stressors that damage your hair.
Suncatcher Leave-in Conditioner by R+Co gives you the protection you need without weighing your hair down. Its primary ingredients—hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, vegetable protein high in amino acids, and coconut oil—are moisturizing powerhouses.
What we absolutely love about this product is that even after you dry and style your hair, you can reapply as needed without worrying about your hair looking greasy or feeling heavy. You might want to buy more than one: one for your gym bag, your car, at the office. You get the point
#9 - Retroactive Dry Shampoo by R+Co Bleu
Most people don’t need to wash their hair every day. In fact, washing your hair two times a week is often plenty. But when your style falls flat on day two or starts to look a little shiny (aka oily) by day three, what do you do?
The answer is Retroactive Dry Shampoo by R+Co Bleu. The travel-sized version of this epic dry shampoo is an inexpensive way to refresh and reboot your blowout. It not only absorbs oils and impurities, but it also volumizes your hair.
A few sprays on your roots and we promise you’ll have bouncier and cleaner-looking hair that lasts all day!
#10 - Jane Iredale HydroPure™ Lip Gloss
Plump up your lips naturally with our selection of Jane Iredale HydroPure™ Lip Glosses. We love how this ultra-hydrating formula not only comes in beautiful colors, but it nourishes your skin.
Lactic acid, hyaluronic acid, peptides, and botanical oil and butter blends work together to give you the softest lips of your life.
