Sex and the City always delivers great fashion and beauty. Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda all have budgets that are, frankly, just a wee bit bigger than ours. There's no need to fret: we've pinned down a few budget-friendly beauty products to get you on your way to city chic in a snap.

The gals can never have too much black. Get strong, smoky eyes like Carrie's with NP Set Eyeliner in New York City ($15, target.com). The smooth pencil comes with a smudger to ensure a seductive stare.

Samantha Jones isn't afraid of a bright red lip, and you shouldn't be either! JK Jemma Kidd Air Shine Lip Gloss in Dress 2 Impress ($16, target.com) will give you high-impact sheer color in a snap. Best of all, this moisturizing gloss is never sticky.

You may not take a hot vacation in Abu Dhabi like the foursome do, but you can still treat yourself to a little luxury. Plan a girls' night out and wear one of the summer's hottest mini dresses - prep your legs with Soap & Glory's Some Like It Hot ($9.99, target.com), a thermal body scrub that will leave your skin feeling and looking as smooth as silk.

Jet-setters like the SATC gals don't have the time to track down tons of products and they don't have the space in their clutches for a whole arsenal. The JK Jemma Kidd Strike a Pose Palette ($32, target.com) includes blush, lip gloss and shadow, so everything you need will be at your fingertips. The lid swivels to reveal mirror that can be used at any angle.

For super-silky hair like Charlotte's, spritz with Umberto Shimmer Shine spray ($8.99, target.com). This lightweight spray will keep your hair frizz-free and shiny even through the hot summer months.
