Pond's Prevent and Correct Cream (trial size $1.99)
Pond's joins a day cream with sun protection (SPF 8) together with a night cream with alpha hydroxy acid (8% glycolic) in one handy two compartment jar. Both creams are lightweight and would work well for any skin type. The daytime sun protection isn't the SPF 15 that I would recommend, but it will do for very minimal exposure. If you like simple skin care without a lot of separate products, this Pond's 2-in-1 is a great deal.

Jane nail polish ($2.69)
Jane recently added nail polish to her extensive "under $3" product line, and it's great! The color I chose, "electricity", is a metallic mauve with gold shimmer that is gorgeous and classy. With my Seche Vite topcoat (a fantastic quick dry, high gloss topcoat for ultimate wear and shine; around $9 at salons and beauty supply stores), this polish lasted 7 days without a chip!

Jane Staying Powder loose powder ($2.69)
While this powder created a soft, matte finish that controlled shine for most of the day, all of the colors, even "colorless", were too dark for my fair skin. If you have medium to dark skin and like a good oil control loose powder, this one is for you. It even comes with a handy puff!

Almay Amazing Lasting Eyecolor (trial size $1.99)
As far as cream eye shadows go, this one from Almay is okay, but not amazing, and not incredibly lasting either. I applied "taupe" in the morning, and by 1-2pm, it was barely noticeable. If you have oily eye lids, I imagine it would disappear even faster. Thumbs down on this one.
