It can be fun to splurge on yourself in the name of beauty every once in a while, but sometimes it's even more exciting to uncover hidden gems. If you really dig around, you can find affordable products that perform just as well as — if not better than — their designer counterparts for a fraction of the price.

We took the thrill of the hunt to the next level by test-driving cosmetic, hair, and skin products at not the drugstore, but the dollar store. Click through to read about the razor with competitor edge, the flawless complexion-crafting makeup sponge, and more savvy steals. And yes, every item is $1 or less.

Foaming Acne Scrub

Foaming Acne Scrub

This generic face scrub bears a striking resemblance to a beloved drugstore formula, and it leaves you with that familiar squeaky-clean feeling after every use.

April Bath and Shower Scented Body Lotion

April Bath and Shower Scented Body Lotion

There's just something about slathering on body lotion that makes us feel cozy inside (especially in colder months, when skin tends to need more TLC). This brand offers a variety of addictive scents, including Blackberry & Lilac, Musk & Freesia, and Pear & Blossom. For $1 a pop, we suggest stocking up on all three.

To make things even easier, there's a brush right in the case, so it's great for touch-ups on the go.

Dry Shampoo

One can go through a can of dry shampoo fairly quickly, so we were excited to see this new addition to a local store. And, while we were skeptical it would live up to our expectations, it delivered. Keep some in your gym bag to soak up oil or give hair a boost of volume every now and then.
