Best budget beauty buys?

[MrsMeow]

Seeing as though we're doing recommendations/things to avoid!

I LOVE Aldi make-up. So far I've got the lip glosses in every colour, really easy to put on and last ages. The eyeshadows are fab as well, I have the silver/grey combo, which lasts ALL day - easily as good as my Urban Decay/Estee Lauder/MAC ones.

I have one of the lipsticks, it's a bit bright for me but fine as a base under a paler one, and also lasts.

My friend loves the nail polishes but I must admit I haven't tried them.

Can't remember exact prices, but definitely under £2 for most bits. They do foundation etc as well but I've not tried that.

I also swear by good old Vaseline for lips, putting around hairline before dying hair, on eyelashes & brows, cuticles, dry skin patches. And Sudocrem for spots :)

I get it from home bargains and my sis gets hers from
body care.

Oh ok thanks, don't live anywhere near those shops.

Oh, I'm not sure where else sells it but I will keep an eye out for you.

I'm sure there was a thread on it last summer. Perhaps see if anyone else knows where stock it.

Oh vaseline for sure....

Barbara Daly nail varnish is fab too.

rimmel 25 hour foundation

I've never seen Aldi make up!? Intrigued...

Thanks, I found it on Amazon and will have a look in Savers (does cheaper beauty products etc).

Atrixo hand cream - just as good as really expensive handcreams.

Vaseline lip balm - I like the rosy one and the new cocoa butter one.

Barbara Daly for Tesco liquid eyeshadow pens.

Vaseline lip therapy, the pink one.

Garnier Clean & Fresh Ultra Gentle Make Up Remover (only around £2 in Superdrug and so much better than the Lancome and Bobbi Brown ones I've used).

George at Asda nail polish (fashion forward colours and usually only £1).

St Moriz self tanning mousse (about £2.99 - £3.99 here in Scotland at Savers/Home Bargains/Bodycare) and gives a realistic olive/tan colour.

Boots 17 do some great solo eyeshadows for £3.89, well pigmented and pretty long-lasting.

Lava Gro hair range ..recently purchased some from 99pshop..pretty good and smell divine

Waitrose Pure toner. £1.59 or something a bottle, rather than the £11 one I used in the past.
It doesn't smell beautiful, smells of nothing in fact, but does exactly the same job on my skin.

Vasaline - but just the plain one, not the rosy one which I find drying.

Oh yes, the Waitrose cheapo eye make up remover is good too. Only costs pennies.

Vaseline - for removing eyemake up, you can get an enormous tub for a couple of quid - lasts ages.

Dove Beauty bar - having read reviews a few years back on makeupalley.com,thought I'd try it for removing make up as recommended, I'd never go back to a 'normal' cleanser as the improvement in my skin is too good!

Aspirin face mask.

avon nail polish lasts ages at least a week.

body shop hemp range

asda liquid talc leaves ur skin dead soft on offer just now 2 for £2
