What are your favourite cheap beauty products/toiletries?

[thisenglishlife]

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

Bout koi's healthy mix foundation . I think it's £4.55 ! And the ordinary nicianamide and zinc serum .

Bourjois healthy mix foundation . I think it's £4.55 ! And the ordinary nicianamide and zinc serum .That should be !

Rose vaseline in the little tins. I swear it takes about 5 years off my face (when I wear it on my lips!)

Aldi q10 creams - another vote for those. Tbh supermarket own brand creams all seem pretty good, they invest a lot to stop you going elsewhere sadly.

Boots solar facial suncream. Fiver for decent quality nice feeling factor 50, very effective.

Oh dear, I swore I would spend no more but here I am ordering wash cloths £5.40 for 6 off e bay 😳

St Moritz tanning mousse. I’ve spent way more on other brands and ONLY this one works for me. No streaks, decent colour.

Aldi vit c cleanser, primark makeup remover cloths, revolution conceal and define foundation. Also primark lip balms just as nice as expensive ones

Pears soap (the green one). Lovely fresh scent and it's the only thing that cleared my horrible cystic spots. I tried a lot of more expensive products, believe me. Can't believe something so simple and cheap worked in the end, but it did.

Lidl baby lotion which I use as a body moisturiser. Just as good as the branded one IMO. It's light but that suits me as I can't stand heavy body lotions/butters.

Catrice concealer in the little black pot is a knock off for Mac and just as good.

Most Nivea stuff is great, I don't think I've ever had a product of theirs that I didn't like.

Coconut oil: on my face, on my body, in my hair.

£2.50 for a kilo down my local Asda

@nicelegs did you use it as a mask and wash off or leave it on?

@WellTidy and @DeterminedLittleBugger do you soak yourselves for AGES before you get scrubbing with the mitts? The videos made it seem like they would only work if you lounge in a bath for 30 mins first to losen the gross bits!

I actually don’t have a functioning bath at the moment. I do it the shower...let my skin get really soft when I’m washing my hair, apply conditioner on my hair and whilst it’s sitting I use the cloths. I might soften it a bit more with a hot flannel but in all honesty I’m not seeing any lack of results. I’m still impressed.

Thank you @DeterminedLittleBugger I can’t use our bath either and didn’t want to miss out! Thanks

Yes, I do soak before washing with the bath mitt. I haven't tried it without soaking - maybe it wouldn't make a difference.

@Onekidnoclue

I use it to take off my makeup (on the odd occasion that I wear any), as a facial moisturiser, a body cream, a hair 'shiner' (I have shaved hair, which I never wash ). Yes, I use it as a mask too: just massage it into my face, catch up with Bradley Walsh on The Chase – oooh, I love The Chase – and then take it off with a warm flannel/cloth.

To make it absolutely gorgeous, I sit the pot in warm water until it melts (melts really easily) and then add a few drops of rose geranium essential oil: smells ..... divine

@nicelegsshameabouttheface thanks. That sounds great. I’m so clueless with this stuff.

Where can one buy this cologne 4711?

Online or Boots @NavyBerry

Thank you!

I'm a big fan of the Aldi Q10 range of skincare.

@AlexChitChatting its Superdrug not Superdrugs

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.

Ps Sally Hansen for nails is so good...

Also love primark beauty stuff , such as their nail oil pen and sheet masks and facial buffers.
Another vote for elf here

And essence ...their waterproof mascara is amazing.

Do you have a link to the lemon cologne please

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