Collection (2000) concealer
Asda cheek tint dupe for benetint, I use more than 3 strokes but its a fraction f the cost.

I know its done to death on MN, but the Superdrug Vit E range - love the night cream and hot cloth cleanser - and the Radiance eye cream. So chuffed I found them - cheap as chips!

Ponds cold cream, use it to take my make up off and my skin has never felt so smooth.

BlueEyedWonder · 25/10/2014 21:37

Bourjois blusher pots.

Nivea in the blue pot (got the large one for £2) and Boots Traditional Glycerine and Rose Water toner £2.99. The two best skin care items I have ever come across. No more Clarins for me!

Happy36 · 25/10/2014 22:14

Superdrug Vitamin E body scrub. Body Shop peppermint foot scrub. The Sanctuary body butter. All the best products in their fields, very cheap and available widely.

Fluffycloudland77 · 26/10/2014 07:18

Superdrugs MUA make up.

desperatehousewife21 · 26/10/2014 07:41

agree with the nivea cream in blue pot.

Also boots botanic bb cream, better when its on offer then its about £4.

ItsGotBellsOn · 26/10/2014 08:28

Avon foot scrub.
Tesco own brand unscented face wipes.
Aldi Lacura SPF moisturiser.

MozzchopsThirty · 26/10/2014 08:33

Boots cucumber toner £1.50
Superdrug vitamin E range
Collection concealer is amazing
Carmex lip balm

Ooh, signing in for tips!

CookieB · 26/10/2014 09:03

17 Phoarr Paint. Came recommended on a thread recently so decided to try it out and it is fab!
Especially as I have drastic black bags under my eyes from 8 week old baby.

WildBillfemale · 26/10/2014 14:18

Rimmel chunky coloured lip balm sticks - The same as Clinique chubby sticks (I have both brands) but about 1/4 - 1/5 of the price

MozzchopsThirty · 26/10/2014 14:21

Oh yes those chunky rimmel sticks are fab

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 26/10/2014 14:53

Yes to Phwoarr Paint. As good as the Benefit stuff for about a quarter of the price.

Vaseline pots.

Tiny Sudocreme pots.

Radox.

Nivea Sensitive day and night creams - cost pennies and are better than the Clarins and Avene moisturisers I had previously.

Not super-cheap but the Avene Really Gentle Cleanser lasts for absolutely ages and is £8 for a big bottle.

Max Factor mascaras are almost as good as my v favourite Lancome Definicils one.

Spidergirl8 · 26/10/2014 19:44

Nivea soft cream, it is the best cream for dry hands I have used. Cost £1 opa tube in Home Bargains!

Happy36 · 26/10/2014 22:24

Ditto to Carmex!

McFox · 26/10/2014 22:33

Yes to 17 Phwooar Paint. I've also just swapped out my Clinique CC cream for the 17 one- it's brilliant and only £6.99. I got those two plus the excellent cheek stamp blusher for £11 I think, bargain! Smile

midnightmoomoo · 26/10/2014 23:02

Lidl Suddenly Diamonds perfume, £3.99!

Also agree with Avene Extremely Gentle Cleanser and the Nivea Sensitive day and night creams

Simple Rich Moisturising lotion

Johnsons face scrub in the white tube with pink lid, the most gentle one I've ever found and only £3.05 but I buy when it's on offer so even cheaper!

No7 sheer temptations lipstick in Entice, my go-to lipstick which I use the money off vouchers to buy every time......including tomorrow!!!

Phwooar paint and the Collection concealors as recommended on here, both fab and I have really dark circles so very pleased to have found them!

midnightmoomoo · 26/10/2014 23:04

Oh, and quinaderm for spots although I think it's been discontinued??? Neutrogena do a spot treatment which is brilliant but quite hard to find here (city, makes no sense!)

Lush exfoliating bar is £2 and gets rid of all the red raised bumps on my legs. I luffs it.
