Let's try a little exercise in visualization: Close your eyes. Imagine that you're seated on a stool in Hogwarts' Great Hall. (Yes, we know you're geeking out). Headmaster Dumbledore (R.I.P.) is in front of you, the rest of the magically inclined first-years are behind you. But when the Sorting Hat is placed on your head, it sing-songs not only your House, but the nail polish shades that best suit your personality.

Get ready for the best throwback you'll see all week, because we're traveling way, way back to the 1980s -- a glorious decade of innovations when Walkmans let us listen to our fave mix tapes on the go, Nintendos let us play in virtual worlds and our steady supply of Aqua Net let us craft supervolumized '80s hair that defied the laws of physics.

Our obsession all started with a simple line: "Welcome to the O.C., bitch."

Even now, nine years off the air, "The O.C." has defined a generation (or two). We followed the characters for four seasons, rooting for Seth and Summer, ugly-crying over Marissa's death, seeing true love in the form of Sandy and Kirsten and, of course, obsessing over the hair and makeup of our favorite characters.

You don't need to spend your entire paycheck in order to purchase high-quality, amazing beauty products. The proof? These 30 (yes, you read that right) inexpensive products that are TotalBeauty Award winners and cost less than $10. Cue the swooning.

Finding the best facial cleanser, serum, moisturizer, sunscreen and more can prove quite challenging, because there are constantly hundreds of new skincare products -- each promising to deliver amazing results -- to choose from. How do we know? We pretty much tested every single new face product that hit the market in the past six months.
