What are your favourite cheap beauty products/toiletries?

What 'cheapies' do you like?
Do you always have them around or do you only buy when you're trying to spend less?

Thanks for letting me know @peaceanddove. I avoid using Amazon now but I can at least let others know that can’t find it in the shops. Is it the exact same ingredients from your experience of buying it? The one I can find on there is in German so I wasn’t sure as it looks very slightly different packaging.

Sadly the Blistex cream is currently not being manufactured anymore and it’s extremely difficult to get hold of any of the remaining stock

I got a pack of 5 off Amazon for about £20 recently.

[Desiringonlychild]

Simple Cleansing oil

Superdrug Simply Pure Hydrating Serum

Not sure if its cheap- Weleda Skin food for £12

Loreal lacquer waterproof eyeliner

the ordinary 30% aha and bha peel (the red liquid)

bulldog face wash

Hado Labo lotion (usually £10-12 online so not that cheap but ok).

Blistex Lip Relief Cream. Cheap as chips, but it's the only lip product that leaves my lips soft and smooth, but not greasy feeling.

Sally Hansen Hard As Nails, I used to spend a fortune on Nailtiques No. 2 protein varnish, but their factory burned down and bottles were changing hands for £50+ on eBay Gave HAN a go and it's just as good and I'm often complemented on my nails.

Aldi touché eclat

The Boots Lavender Water perfume is good for the price too (400ml for less than £4.50), usually found near the celebrity perfumes and Yardley.

@TheCanterburyWhales Do you have a link for the lemon cologne from boots. I've tried a genetic 'lemon' search on the Boots app and nothing came up. Thanks

Queen Helene mud mask. Costs about 7 quid and is the best mask I've ever tried and I've tried them all.
Ooh, I didn't know they sold this in the UK (have heard lots of good things about this from Americans).

Throw some aspirin in a cup and let them dissolve in a few drops of water. Scrub your face with the paste and then let it sit on the face for 15 mins or so. Face feels amazingly clean after and it brightens better than any brightening mask/scrub I've tried.

Pan Stik as a concealer. Costs a fiver or so. I think it's meant to be used as an all-over foundation but it's better than all other concealers I've tried.

Cheap lip glosses. And I mean cheap. The ones aimed at teenage girls/kids. I've got a Lancome Juicy Tubes and a Lancome Juicy Shaker I wasted 50 or so quid on at an airport once. They're the same bloody thing, but crapper actually, than ones you can get for a pound in Superdrug.

I was just a reader on this thread but I've come back to it to say Koren hand mit things - wow! I ordered some on amazon when I saw them, had a try and they are amazing! Thank you for the share!

[Mrsfussypants1]

Micellar

[Mrsfussypants1]

My forever product is palmers cocoa butter my right for now is Simple michellar facial gel wash water boost. Perfume/colour free (currently £2.50 sainsbury's). Possibly the cheapest product I've bought in a long time and 3 months in I'm still loving it.

[LightOfAThousandStars]

Ordinary acids, face cleanser and moisturiser. Superdrug's Simple Hydrating Serum.
Boots pink Curl Cream.

[Wallawallabangbang]

Do you have a link to the lemon cologne please

[angelfacecuti75]

And essence ...their waterproof mascara is amazing.

[angelfacecuti75]

Another vote for elf here

[angelfacecuti75]

Ps Sally Hansen for nails is so good...

[angelfacecuti75]

Simple soap -2 bars for a pound
Rimmel fresher skin foundation or the long lasting one.
Garnier micellar water.
No 7 powder though not cheap cheap. And their exceptional definition mascara.
Boots no fragrance fash wash (either £1.50/1.75) and their own brand toiletries.
Avon nutra effects moisturizer (usually £5).
Avon 1 step pedicure -£2.75.
Avon overnight foot cream.
That's all I can think of right now.
