What's your favourite budget beauty product?

[Mrs4561]

Having recently discovered the lacura serum, I'm completely impressed! hydrates my skin really well for a grand total of £3.49! Also have to mention revlon colourstay, which I think is a bit of a favourite on here anyway
I was wondering if anyone else has any budget buys they were impressed with?

Dove soap and Nivea (half price in tesco at the mo).

Nivea soft.

Can't get on with the creme in the dark blue tub. It's like moisturising with thick, white sludge.

Nivea blue pot lover here too - I use it every night.

Olive oil for deep conditioning hair. I did have coconut oil but olive oil seems to do the same thing and I have it in the kitchen anyway!

Rimmel Lycra Pro nail polishes.

Bourjois Healthy Mix serum foundation.

MUA lipsticks and eye palettes.

Oooo I'm looking for something to use instead of Eve Lom daily moisturiser, I love it but it is costly and budgeting is needed.
I need non greasy.
Anything worth trying?

Superdrug Hot Cloth cleanser- fab stuff and the Vitamin E is on 'buy one, get the second half price' at the moment.

I like their radiance moisturiser too, but then I'm not fussy on moisturiser. I have combination skin and just like something light and non-greasy. Does the job for me and think it's about £3 a pot at the moment, so no big loss if you don't like it.

MUA Undress Me Too palette.

Maybelline mascaras.

Petroleum jelly for nails. A quid for a huge pot. See my nails thread. My nails look fantastic.

I love the Boots Natural Collection mascara and eye shadow. I also use the Superdrug Natural Radiance Hot Cloth cleanser and eye cream. Oh and Collection 2000 does a great smoky eye palette in grey that is decent.

Carmex

Superdrug vitamin e stuff. Saving me a fortune from Liz Earle.

ohh Kudzugirl I wish we could get Neutrogena Rainbath here in UK. I was once given a travel sized bottle of it and it smells heavenly

Gatekeeper

You can find it in independent chemists but you'll need to keep your eyes peeled. I have found it in Southwold recently. Holland & Barrett also sell it too, in my local branch.

It is one of those little treasures I thought was worth mentioning in case people saw it on their travels.

MUA eyeshadow palettes and eyeliners. Especially the eyeliner, it goes on very smoothly and has the little sharpener in the lid so you never have to hunt around for one.

I have an Alid serum too. It's different to the one linked by the OP. It's fine but I don't really notice much difference in my skin.

Sudocrem. It's the best thing on spotty skin.

right then...I am on a mission this weekend

thank you

Another vote for Nivea Soft.

If you like, PM me an address and when I next see some I can send it to you. Or Amazon stock it I do believe.

thank you; will pm you if I can't find any in next couple of weeks. Amazon do sell it but is shipped from USA

keep meaning to try the superdrug MUA eyeshadows, their pallets are supposed to be a good dupe of the urban decay naked pallet.

I will have to look out for the hot cloth cleanser, off to have a look online..

Great thread,made a list of a few bits to try!
My favourite budget items right now are these,and I used to be a real designer product junkie!
-mellor and Russell macadamia body lotion,picked this up in Poundland!one of the best lotions ive ever used,however always out of stock since I bought it so need to stock up if I see it again
-Argan oil shampoo and conditioner I got from Lidl a few weeks ago-can't remember the brand,brown bottle with a green lid-really wonderful stuff
-Osiris avise bb cream shade light-thought it was a bargain in Lidl at £1.99,since seen it in the bloody poundshops!I have very very fair pink toned skin and this stuff is just amazing.
Using bicarbonate of soda as a face scrub-feels like using an expensive microdermabrasion product,so so cheap but amazing results,think I read it on here.
-mua cover and conceal from Superdrug I think less than £3 again just an amazing product that works unbeleivably well on my pink skin!

Southbank I bought that Lidl Argan oil shampoo and conditioner and my friend, who I've not seen for a couple of weeks greeted me with 'Wow, acsec, your hair looks fab!'

I've used Nivea Soft on my face since I was about 15, and am 31 now, though when I was out for my birthday people guessed I was 25 so it's obviously working well enough!

Em84 what else do you use the botty butter for? Everything? I've used it on my hands and elbows. Can you use it as a cleanser?

Olive oil.

For absolutely everything!!

Maybelline Stiletto mascara, Maybelline gel nail Polish, Lucas law paw ointment, M&S Formula Age Repair moisturiser. I just bought the Loreal thickening shampoo that Sali Hughes recommended and it's v good too.
