I’m sleep deprived but look like a spring chicken thanks to my $14 makeup duo – my cheap brand is worth raving about
A MAKEUP lover has found a way to fake her beauty sleep with a few affordable products.
She swore by an $8 primer and a $6 under-eye brightener that turned back time overnight.
Redditor Dazzling-Okra-3346 shared her obsession with a budget-friendly beauty brand that has everything she needs and more.
“[I] must rave about Catrice,” she wrote in a post. “Ladies, gents, they/thems, Catrice is bomb!”
She had finally found the holy grail products she had “always needed and looked for.”
Her favorite duo was just the trick for faking a full night of sleep.
“The green primer cuts out my redness so much. I don’t even need a foundation,” she said.
“Their under-eye brightener is literally chef’s kiss. I can literally wake up so sleep-deprived, and look like a spring chicken with the brightener and primer!”
If you want to get in on her glow-up, Amazon sells Cartrice’s The Corrector Anti-Redness Primer for $8.
The brand’s Instant Awake Under Eye Brightener is also available on Amazon for $6.
The Redditor was reeling from the results that cost just $14 in total — and those weren’t the only steals she was swooning over.
“I also got lip-plumping liner, and, wow, I think it was four bucks?” she said.
She noted that to get the perfect pout, the liner paired “great” with the brand’s lipstick.
The original poster couldn’t say enough good things about Catrice.
“I highly recommend this brand,” she said. “[It’s] very affordable and great quality.”
And she wasn’t the only one who was a fan of the makeup company.

“They’re a German brand and we use it quite a lot in Germany. It’s [definitely] one of the best here,” said a commenter.
“I can see why. The quality is better than drug store [in my opinion], yet has the drug store price tag — even lower than some other [drug store] brands,” she replied.
Another shared how they “love their plumping lipsticks,” saying they “apply and feel so nice.”
“Their Power Full Five Balm is so nice as well. My MLBB is Sweet Cherry, but I love Addicting Cassis,” they said.
“The Glam and Doll False Lashes Waterproof Mascara is my all-time fave,” a third Redditor chimed in.
“It doesn’t break my lashes, doesn’t smudge, and I can remove it easily with an oil cleanser/biphasic eye makeup remover.”
They shared how they are also fans of their nail polish, including a “beautiful olive green,” that takes just one coat to look “very jelly, I really like it.”
“The name is 126 Get Slimed. In the last four months, I used their skincare. I’m impressed. I use the hydro supercharged serum with 5% niacinamide and 1% triple hyaluronic acid.”
They said that it was the only “budget-friendly serum” with less than 10% niacinamide and zero zinc PCA (pyrrolidone carboxylic acid).
“It looks like a dupe for SVR niacinamide serum. My skin is more hydrated and with improved hyperpigmentation and acne,” they said.
“I also use the Glow Skin Renewal Toner with 5% PHA, 3% AHA, and 15% aloe. It’s really nice if you have other actives in [your] routine. Very gentle but effective.”
