Kim K's Most Affordable Beauty Products

by Julia Guerra

If you haven’t realized by now, this is clearly a Kardashian world, and we’re just living in it. Kim Kardashian launched her official website Monday, complete with style inspo, beauty tips and faves, and a behind the scenes look at what it’s really like to live the life of Kimye’s better half.

Obviously I spent my morning gawking over the site's section dedicated to baby North’s style (because why wouldn’t you want your daughter/niece/sister to dress like Hollywood’s most fashionable toddler?), but was eventually distracted by the top notch beauty tutorials courtesy of the contour queen herself and, of course, her infamous glam squad featuring Mario Dedivanovic.

Earlier this year, Kardashian gave

Into The Gloss a thorough breakdown of her intensive beauty routine, and all the financial nightmares of what it costs to get the Kim K beauty treatment came true. Getting down to the nitty-gritty, Cosmopolitan confirmed that between application tools and beauty products alone, Kardashian’s beauty routine totals about $1,600. Ouch.

Personally, hardly interested in the upkeep this woman’s face demands, but who doesn’t want to steal some of Kardashian's beauty secrets? Luckily for us, her new website provides fans with budget-friendly recommended products so that we can get Kim Kardashian glam on a dime.

The good news? You're getting Kardashian-approved cosmetics that will make all the Kardashian beauty goals achievable. The bad news? There's a fee.

Everyone tells you that beauty is pain, but they somehow conveniently leave out its going rate. For VIP membership and access to these HD video tutorials and product insiders, you'll pay $2.99/month. Ideal? No. Worth it? Definitely.

For a limited time, you can try a seven-day membership trial via kimkardashianwest.com, but for those of you thinking it may not be worth your while, I've got the inside scoop on the essentials.

Here are 11 affordable beauty product recommendations currently featured on Kardashian's new website below.

1. Faux Lashes

Kardashian Beauty lashes — because if you can't be a Kardashian, you might as well buy their products.

Kardashian Beauty Glimmer Faux Lashes, $6.49, ulta.com

2. Body Lotion

Aside from the fact that this is one of Kimye's favorite couple purchases, it also smells like coconut. Win.

C.O. Bigelow Village Perfumer Coconut Body Lotion, $14.00, bigelowchemists.com

3. Face Illuminator

This woman is all about the highlight. Take her word for it.

Revlon PhotoReady Skinlights, $13.99, ulta.com

4. Highlight & Contour

Contouring can definitely be done on bronzer and highlighter alone, but having a palette dedicated to the technique would probably be a major help.

NYX Highlight & Contour Pro Palette, $24.99, ulta.com

5. Lipstick

The Kardashian's like to make a bold beauty statement, and what exerts more confidence than a classic red lip?

6. Concealer

Essential for any beauty routine.

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer, $4.19, target.com

7. Eyeliner

Kardashian doesn't usually rim her lids exclusively with black liner. This light highlighting eye pen gives the eyes a satisfying pop and shine.

Pixie Endless Silky Eye Pen, $9.99, target.com

8. Eyeshadow

It's all about the eyes.

Love In Paris Eyeshadow Palette, $9.99, ulta.com

9. Shimmer Powder

The more highlight the better.

10. Bath Essential

It must be so hard being a Kardashian, so this one likes to wind down in a bubble bath complete with bath bombs.

Level Naturals Lavender Chamomile Bath Bomb, $14.99, amazon.com

11. Moisturizer

With all of the product applied and reapplied to this Kardashian's face, by the end of the day her skin is probably screaming for moisturizer. Therefore, if she trusts it to revamp her skin, we probably should to.

Now you're ready to take on the world like a true Kardashian, contour and all.
