Top 10 Products Under £10- Part 1

Bargain beauty products that work are what we all love. Here are my favourite picks for less than £10.

For those who love a good self tanner, Garnier's 'Summer Body' is a great one to try. This is a gradual tan, which looks like a regular moisturiser but has the tan built in. I find this is a really natural gradual tan, which is a lovely brown colour, unlike the horrible orange shades you can get with some tanners! I use the light version of this product, but they also do a darker one. The great thing is that this doesn't streak, so you look like you've been on holiday, instead of orange and patchy from an awful tanner. This also doesn't smell too bad for fake tan, it has apricot extracts in it, although the scent isn't fruity, it isn't as terrible as some products out there. I apply this with a mitt for easy and quick application.  You can pick up the 400ml for £7.15, or £4.77 on offer currently at Boots. 

I have pledged my love for Soap And Glory's 'Hand Food' numerous times on this blog. It is a great moisturiser for your hands, leaving them feeling soft and smooth, instead of dry and cracked.The formula isn't greasy, instead it sinks into the skin within a couple of minutes. The scent is also divine, and matches products such as 'The Righteous Butter' and the 'Mist Your Madly Body Spray,' with ingredients such as shea butter and marshmallow. I have a couple of the 50ml sizes in my handbag and on my dressing table and a full size on my desk at work. You can never have enough hand cream, especially in winter. Boots stock the 50ml for £2.50 and the 125ml for £5. 


One of the best makeup products on the high street by far, is the 'Lasting Perfection Concealer' by Collection.The basic packaging doesn't do it justice as the product inside is phenomenal. Not only will it cover hyper pigmentation and blemishes, it works well under the eyes to conceal dark circles. The formula is creamy, which ensures it doesn't leave the skin dry. I use the shade Fair, which is a perfect match. This has been a staple in my makeup bag since I purchased this concealer nearly a year ago. I will definately repurchase this until it is discontinued as it is so good. This is a steal for £4.19. 


My ultimate lip product is Revlon's 'Lip Butters.' They are a tinted lip balm which come in a variety of shades. I currently own 5 (Sorbet, Raspberry Pie, Juicy Papaya, Candy Apple and Pink Lemonade), although I have also gone through 3 other shades (Berry Smoothie, Strawberry Shortcake and Peach Parfait). Some of the shades are more pigmented and others are more sheer. The formulation is rich and hydrating, helping to keep the lips moisturised, they also last well. My current favourites are Juicy Papaya for a neutral daytime look and Raspberry Pie for the vampy berry lip. With 21 shades available, there is a colour for everyone. These are available on the high street for £7.99 each.

My final selection is another Soap And Glory product, but this time it comes from their makeup line. The 'Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick 3D Volume Lip Shine' are similar to the Lip Butters, but are in more of a solid consistency. They again are tinted lip balms but come in more of a Chubby Stick style with the twist up bullet. I own the shades Bashful and Raplumzel, both of which have a rich and glossy finish, but there are a total of 5 in the range. If you are looking for colour pay off then the Lip Butters are stronger, but if you want the glossy finish without having to use lip gloss, then these are a great choice. You can get your hands on these for £8 at Boots, or why not pick up 3 shades on the 3 for 2 offer?
