As a shopping writer, I'm dedicated to searching the internet for the best finds to be had out there, so I know a good deal on a great product when I see it. Which brings me to Target's little-known New Arrivals section. Target is one of our favorite one-stop-shops for everything from furniture and home decor accessories to fashion and beauty products, and this under-the-radar stash is absolutely packed with winners. Somehow I managed to narrow it down to my favorite 15 finds (plus five things I would skip). You're welcome. The best news is that prices start at just $5, so you can stock up on multiple pieces at once.

Wearing a thick foundation is the last thing you want to do on a hot summer day, which is why it was exciting to find this genius hybrid from ColourPop.
