Top 10 Products Under £10- Part 2

My sixth pick is Rimmel's 'Wake Me Up' foundation. This is such a great product from the high street, as not only does it offer good, buildable coverage and SPF 15, it really makes the skin appear fresh and healthy, with a slight glow. I have very fair skin and the lightest shade in 'Ivory' is a good match. This foundation also has a matching concealer in the range, which is also a great buy. The glass bottle comes with a pump, making it hygienic and user friendly. A 30ml bottle is £8.99 at Boots, which is also currently on a 3 for 2 offer.


My favourite nail product is the Seche Vite 'Dry Fast Top Coat.' This is a super shiny top coat which drys quickly and leaves the nails with a gel like finish. I find top coats can be a bit ropey as many claim to prevent chipping, but the Seche Vite one is great and really enhances the wear time of a polish. The brush is also a great size. It also can iron out little imperfections in your paint job, which is always great! A 14ml bottle of this is £9, which is on the higher end of the scale for a top coat, but I will continue to buy this as it is the best I have found on the market.



I use very few products on my hair, purely because it is very fine and I don't want to overload it with products which make it appear greasy looking. As I heat style most days, I always use Tresemme's 'Heat Defence' spray as this protects the hair from up to 230 degree heat. Once I have styled my hair, it is soft and shiny, with little frizz or static. The spray also prevents dryness in my hair, which can be caused by the heat. The pump also disperses a fine mist instead a shot of product. A 300ml bottle lasts me at least a year, so for £5.25 it is a bargain. Boots currently has Tresemme products on 2 for £7.



For tools, my most used makeup brushes are the ones by Real Techniques. These are endorsed by Youtuber Sam Chapman and really deserve all the hype they have had. They are sensibly priced for such a high quality product as they make makeup application quick, easy and seamless. Washing them is also easy as the synthetic hairs means the makeup doesn't stain and they don't shed. I wash my stipling brush daily and it still looks as good as the day I purchased it, which was more than a year ago. I do not own any of the newer eye brushes, but I do have the powder brush, stipling brush and the blusher brush (which I use for contouring). They do range in price, with the blush brush retailing for £9.99 and the other two are £11.99 and £12.99. Compared to MAC brushes they are very good value, so I am really going to build a collection. Next on my list is the 'Miracle Complexion Sponge.' 



My final choice is another product from Rimmel. Their 'Stay Matte' powder is great at providing shine free skin. This is a finely milled pressed powder which appears invisable on the skin. I use the shade '001 Transparent' as I am so fair, so find coloured powders hard to match my skin tone. I find after 4 -6 hours I do need to reapply or blot, as I have very oily skin, but in comparison to some I have tried, this is long lasting, especially for the price point. There are 6 shades available for £3.99 each, currently on 3 for 2 at Boots.
