Rest assured, if a product is really good, The Real Housewife of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards is going to reveal it. From some very detailed Amazon shopping lists to showing off her musts on social media, Richards is not one to shy away from a can’t-beat-it beauty share. Here are some of our all-time favorite shoutouts that ring up under $20.
Evian Facial Spray ($19.50)
Tag this as the ultimate travel essential, Richards “has used this spray forever,” as she shared on a recent Amazon Live. “My sister Kathy used to always have this. My sister Kim and I would steal it from her. It felt very fancy many, many many years ago. This has been around forever. I love to use it when I’m flying because your skin tends to get dried out. I use it over makeup too.”
L’Oréal Paris Makeup Voluminous Original Mascara ($11)
“Everyone who knows me knows that I only use this mascara,” she has said. “It really is just a miracle, this stuff, and what I love about this mascara is I can add to it…throughout the day and it doesn’t get clumpy or anything.”
JEXCULL Soft Silicone Facial Cleansing Brush Face Exfoliator Blackhead Acne Pore Pad ($5)
Costing less than a cold brew, this manual scrubber makes Richards’ “can’t-live-without-it” list.
CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion for Dry Skin ($17)
A consistent “do” by derms, it’s no surprise that Richards trusts CeraVe for her skin, as reported by E! News. “This is a moisturizing lotion for dry skin. This generation really knows a lot because of TikTok. The life hacks that Portia has been teaching me from TikTok, I can’t even tell you all of them. Portia turned me onto this product. It’s a really amazing product. It feels good on your skin, smells good and I am fanatical about it. I put on moisturizer after every single shower without fail. That’s a must must must.”
theBalm Hot Mama! ($20)
Richards and hundreds of other Amazon shoppers swear by this pinky-peach multitasker that can be used as a shadow, blush and highlighter.
Clearasil
Back in 2018, Richards told us she “always has” Clearasil. “It’s such an iconic brand. I used it as a kid; my kids used it. It’s something I’ve always had — like shampoo or soap. It’s something I would always pick up at the drugstore. It’s a product I trust.” While she didn’t get into specifics on the SKUs she stockpiles, you can snag a number of effective face washes and spot treatments for under $20.
Sun Bum Original SPF 45 Sunscreen Face Mist ($18.50)
Richards says she likes this reef-safe SPF spray over or under makeup. “I feel like it seals it in,” she said during an Amazon Live. “I really like it a lot…I keep it in my car always.”
Macadamia Natural Oil Rejuvenating Shampoo ($13)
Another oldie but goodie, Richards reaches for this hydrating shampoo that one Amazon reviewer swears “saved her hair.”
OlarHike 8 Set Packing Cubes for Travel ($20)
Easily the jack-of-all-trades in the Richard-approved universe, these travel-friendly makeup bags come in different sizes for all different types of toiletries. “They are great little bags,” she says.
Mario Badescu Facial Spray With Aloe, Cucumber and Green Tea ($8)
Richards says this long-time standard is a great prep step before serum. “This face mist brings life to my face,” agrees one happy Amazon reviewer.
