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?
