Top 5 drugstore lipsticks under £5!

Left/Right

Revlon 'Volcanic Red'
This lipstick was around £3.50, cheap for nice red lipstick. I bought this over a year ago and I still use it all the time, not only is it long lasting but it comes in beautiful sturdy packaging!

17 Supreme shine 'Bella'
This is probably the second time I have purchased this lipstick, mainly because its a pretty shiny nude that's perfect to throw on when your in need of a pick me up! I usually use this when I'm in a rush because its pretty and long lasting. I payed around £3 from boots and will probably keep repurchasing until I find something similar.

Rimmel 'Notting Hill Nude'
Out of all the lipsticks this is probably my favourite. I am probably quite fussy when it comes to nude lipsticks, some shades suit my skin tone others don't but I'd say this is the perfect colour for me & I hope to see this again. The best thing about this product has to be the price, cannot complain for £1! Goood eh?

Rimmel Kate Moss Matte Lipstick '107'
I just love this brand, especially because of the matte lipsticks. I do love a good gloss but a beautiful matte red is just perfect for all occasions. I loved this in winter and over used it! I has some purple tones in too and looks perfect with winged liner. At around £4 this is the most expensive lipstick out the bunch but defiantly worth to have in your collection.

Miss Sporty Perfect colour lipstick '054'
I really hate lipsticks that are named with numbers, although they are easier to find, I feel the brand could have been a little more creative. I bought this a few years ago as I was looking for an affordable coral lipstick. I absolutely love this brand, my favourite thing is that is smells of watermelons! I have reused this many times and always get compliments when wearing it.

Sally Hansen | DRY KWIK | Nail colour dryer

I paint my nails at least 3 times a week & being the most impatient person ever, this is a daunting thing for me to do as its very time consuming. I have eyed this nail polish up a few times now but only just decided to give it a go. Priced around £1.99 in B&M Stores it was pretty much a bargain.

I used this over a pink polish and set a timer, under a minute I had perfectly dry nails! How amazing!
The only disappointment I had with this product is that it left my fingers feeling greasy & oily but I don't mind as long as my nails are dry in no time.

I seriously recommend this product to anyone who hates waiting for their nails to dry or to anyone who doesn't have this in their nail polish collection

Have you tried this product? what do you think?

Bronzed Godess | Summer Tans

One thing I absolutely love about summer is the fact I can bronze away without looking like a idiot! Here are a few of my favourite tans that I have religiously used over the last year. After trying a bazillion ones I have settled on these. 

Garnier Body Summer body Tan - I got this in superdrug on sale for around £2, brilliant for the size of the bottle but since then I see it has gone up to around £7 :( I love this, it smells like fresh fruit & leaves my skin feeling lovely and soft. As this is a build up tan I use this everyday after my showers & baths, very hydrating!

ST. Moriz tanning mousse - Good old ST. Moriz eh! Trusty cheap tan which I have sworn by for years. I love this tan, I use it mostly the night before and leave it to develop overnight. The next day after a shower I have the most prettiest glow! I just keep topping it up every 3 days for a darker tan.

XEN - Tan - I first bought this tan around 4 years ago, after hearing the amazing reviews I had a cheeky go myself. I have used this make the longest and I think I will use it for many more years, it's fabulous!

Rimmel Sun Shimmer - I used to use this when I was 14, probably abused it the amount of bottles I went through. I did have my moments with this tan (pouring down rain and a streaky tan is not a good look) But this is great for a quick tan on a night out if I'm feeling very lazy!

What Tan's do you use? Any of the above?

Budget Wednesday | They're Real Benefit Mascara Dupe

After hearing how good the Benefit mascara was, I couldn't wit to get my hands on the best beauty product on the market. First of all the packaging is lovely and the brush is usually what i go for. The only thing that put me off about the product was the price. Having a budget and getting good bargains is usually my type of thing, the thought of splashing out over £20 for a mascara was quite sickening.

At first I did not even like this mascara, I thought it was clumpy and made my eyes sore. After a million attempts of trying it I finally started getting the result I hoped for. Although I loved this product, the thought of running out and paying the expense annoyed me.

Looking through Superdrug I was eyeing up a cheap mascara for everyday use, something That I would'nt care about using up. I came across this NYC High definition mascara, price around £3 I was more than happy to purchase Having used this for a few months I am totally in love with the finish it provides, Its completely similar to the benefit's they're real mascara which is a huge bonus! Not only do they give the exact same finish, you will be saving yourself a whooping £18!!

Let me tell you – these dupe products are identical to the name brands for half the price! What more could you want?

Miss Sporty So Energetic | natural radiance foundation | £1.50 

This foundation is lovely for summer time, priced at £1.50 its a little beauty bargain. I have purchased this a few times, when I don't feel like much coverage I just use this with a buffing brush and it gives your skin a natural glow. It smells lovely and fits perfect in your Make-up bag, I take this everywhere in the summer as it gives me a that extra instant glow.

Miss Sporty | Studio Lash Mascara, Incredi Ball | Free | Usual price - £2.99

I got this mascara with my buy two get one free deal at Superdrug. I absolutely love this mascara, if I was to compare the brush I would say its similar to the benefit their real mascara, except this mascara is easy to remove. It is one of the best drugstore products & cheapest out in the market. Defiantly worth a purchase, you wouldn't be disappointed.


All in all this cost under £10! I couldn't be more happier with these bargains.

Makeup on a budget!

So again I went into my local Poundworld and picked up some goodies! You will always find some cheap makeup brands such as Rimmel, Sleek, Maybelline and Revlon. Everytime I pass, I have the urge to go have a sneak peak what they have to offer. You can also find cheaper brands sold in savers, body care & other pound shops too.
I picked up a sleek mascara in 'black' I have never seen this mascara in Superdrug before but having tried sleek products before I was excited to see what this mascara had to offer. I love the brush it is easy to use and gives you great length to your lashes, defiantly worth the price.
I then seen two lipsticks, one from Rimmel and the other Sleek. I have picked up a few Rimmel lipsticks from Poundworld before but they haven't been the best of colours. I was also skeptical about buying a nude lipstick as The ones I have bought before were not nice but I really Love the colour and constancy of this. For a £1 you cannot complain! And since wearing it I have had many compliments on my lips!
I did not realise how dark the sleek lipstick was until I opened the packaging but it still a pretty colour and it is super soft on your lips.
Last but not least Is the nail polishes. I always pick as many up as I can when I go but they only really had 2 colours that caught my eye. Firstly the NYC Spring Street, This is the perfect colour for this spring and it is very pigmented, I love it so much and cannot believe the bargain! I purchased another Rimmel nail polish too, this time in a deep blackcurrant  So perfect for when you are in a rush and need a quick manicure as it dries quick and only needs one coat to look good!

Have you purchased anything from a pound or dollar shop? They have some amazing bargains.
