Reddit user TelephoneTag2123 is a 51-year-old woman who likes to keep her beauty routine simple.
She shared in a post the three budget buys that made a difference in making her look less tired and more awake for less than $15 each.
The first product was The Ordinary Caffeine Eye Solution, $12.99 on Amazon.
She applies it every morning as part of her skincare routine.
It is specifically formulated to target dark circles, under-eye puffiness, and signs of aging around the eye area.
It lasts for several hours under everything, including moisturizer.
Next, she suggested trying the Lumify Redness Eye Drops, $21.48.
She recommended the drops because they relieve redness and brighten eyes.

You can use any tubing mascara you like, but there is one that she prefers above all else.
She just started using the L’Oréal Double Extend Tubing Mascara, $9.99, on sale on Amazon.
"It’s a little learning curve with application and removal, but it does NOT smear or flake. Like at all," she explained.
