Beauty steal number three is a bronzer called New York Color. They come in different shades to match every skin tone and the price is $5.59.

"The reason I like these, it has a multiple of colors so you don't run the risk of getting too orange, too light, or anything like that," Hughes explained.

If you'd rather wear gloss, beauty steal number is Revlon lip gloss. It's one of Hughes' favorite beauty products.

"These you can add just on top of your lip liner," she said. "You can wear them by themselves or you can put them on top of the lipstick."

Beauty steal number seven is the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Brightening Eye Perfecter. It's a little bit over the $10 limit, but Hughes found it on sale for ten bucks.
