We're nearly at the end of another year. One that's been preeetty expensive.

I was doing my groceries the other day and had a flashback to when supermarkets would promote how to make a meal for the family for $10 just a few years ago. Now, a bag of my son's favourite grated cheese alone is the same price.

We love a lush Spendy on You Beauty, but that doesn't mean you *have* to fork out wads of cash on beauty. Sure, there's fantastic makeup and skincare in the luxury category that works, but there are also some really brilliant products at much friendlier price points.

Watch: Speaking of beauty, here's Mamamia's Cassandra Green showing us how to get effortless, lived-in beachwaves. Post continues below.

Last week, Erin trialled a $28 night cream that's being compared to a similar one that's over $500. It sounded so good I added to cart immediately.

I have road-tested countless creams over the course of my decades in beauty media, and I have a bunch of other night creams to suggest, so I've made a little list below.

They're all under $50, tried, tested and just very, very good.

The best night creams under $50.

CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream, $40.99.

KORA Organics Noni Glow Sleeping Mask, $27.

Nivea Cellular Lift Expert Night Cream Moisturiser, $38.

Weleda Skin Food Nourishing Night Cream, $32.95.
