Best Budget beauty buys?

15 replies

Trying to save money (like everyone) and wondered what your best budget beauty buy is?

Looking for a good foundation especially as am running out of my Dior

I have changed to the oil cleansing method which has saved me a fortune

Also have brought a fab radiance balm from superdrug yesterday - price at the moment so far as good as my Clarins! and is half price at the moment

NYC mascara from superdrug. It's fab and I'm a mascara perfectionist!

Foundation - L'Oreal True Match (RRP £10ish) I have used expensive ones in the past but this is really the best I've found.

Sainsburys Deep Foaming Cleanser - beats Clinique and Clarins hands down - white and grey packaging - AMAZING.

Bourjois foundations are pretty good. I like the 'Fresh' one - with the fruit on the bottle. Nice pale shades.

La Roche Posay skincare isn't really cheap, but its reasonably priced, and its totally fab.

Simple eye makeup remover is really good.

Am also intrigued by the radiance balm.

Ah, I think you should not scrimp on your base. Keep the dior, and buy cheaper everything else.

I wear Lancome tinted moisturiser.

The lidl own brand of day and night creams plus eye gels are amazing. I swear by them.

Maybelline mascara is good, and rimmell products are pretty good I find.

I use ASDA's own cleansing wipes.

I tried this nice and easy colour foam over the weekend and it gave really good coverage and lots of glossiness

That radiance balm looks good - might give it a go. Trouble is, since I don't currently use one, I'm not saving money but rather spending more!!!
