Beauty products can become expensive, especially as they always tend to all run out at once. So I like to try cheaper products now and again & see how good they are, some have been awful and some have been really good. Today I'm going to share some of my favourites with you.
Rimmel 9 in 1 BB Cream - £6.99 at BootsI've never really tried a BB cream so I thought I'd go for a brand that I do like. First of all I was impressed with the color choice, usually there's just light, medium and dark but Rimmel do a 'very light' which is perfect for extremely pale people like me. It leaves a fresh, dewy feel on my skin and doesn't feel heavy or like you're wearing a full face of make-up. The coverage is slightly lighter than what I would like, but it's very kind to my skin so I don't mind. It's quick and easy to apply and leaves a nice smooth finish, it's perfect for everyday wear and also for people that are just beginning to wear make-up.
Collection Matte Bronzer - £3.99 in SuperdrugI'm not a huge wearer of bronzer, I just like to wear a little to give myself some color. I usually find that the color is too dark for me, or the bronzer has too much shimmer however this one ticks most of the boxes. It's not too dark or orange looking and it's also matte, so I don't have the shimmer problem. It gives a nice hint of color to my skin without looking too much. The only downside of this is that I have to blend it a lot to get rid of any harsh lines, but I can deal with that for the price.
Balm Balm Calm All Over Balm - £6.99 at balmbalm.comThis is a miracle in a pot. Although it doesn't look like you get much for your money, a little really does go a long way. It's a completely organic product and is an amazing all rounder at calming and nourishing my skin. It's amazing on any part of the body, from feet to face it works for any problem. I won't go into too much detail as I'm planning a full review on this product & the brand so keep a look out for that.
Collection Gel Nail Varnish - £2.99 at SuperdrugThis is what I wear on my nails most of the time. As I'm not allowed bright colours for work, this is perfect. It's a gel formula so it gives a nice shine and a flawless finish. The color is a very natural pink and just enhances the look of my nails. I like to only wear 1 coat as then you can still see the natural white of my nails.
Rimmel Scandal Eyes Eye Crayon - £3.99 at BootsI like to wear a cream eye shadow some days, just to have a break from eye make-up. It's really easy to apply and leaves a smooth finish. The color is very natural and just adds a little depth to my eyes, which is perfect for days when I don't want a full face of make-up. It's waterproof, and with an eye primer underneath it doesn't rub off or crease.
Garnier Ultra Replenishing Lotion - Unsure of the priceThis is my go to moisturiser if I need to grab one quickly. It really locks in moisture to leave my skin feeling soft and nourished. It's very soothing and has a comforting scent. It sinks in fast and doesn't sit on the skin for a while. It's relatively cheap (I think) and it seems to last forever. This is a great everyday moisturiser if you don't want to spend a lot on one
