Your cheaper alternatives to high end make up- I'll go first

I've bought an ELF lipliner and SPF Lip gloss that were around £3 and £7 each. I was paying almost £30 for Bobbi Brown.

LOreal Panorama mascara instead of Lancome Hypnose (£12.99 v £29.)

Revlon eyeshadow palette £9.

I'm on the look out for a pale blusher to replace/ alternate with Nars and stumbled across Collection for £3. Not bought yet but the colours look good.

I am not negotiable on foundation and still buy Bobbi Brown (with a discount) full price £43.

Primark when I’ve bought it has been very good. Lipliner great, a foundation a dupe for ELDW.

Their scrubs for face and body are great, I use Brown Sugar and they had a nice Birthday Cake one, face masks good and they sell eco friendly makeup remover pads (you wash in your washing machine).

I use a lot of Technic and W7 stuff.

I love Elf concealer- amazing. The only makeup I spend a lot on is my foundation: ELDW. Everything else is Rimmel, Loreal, Elf or Maybelline. I've fallen for the hype too many times with 'high end' cosmetics, they're rarely any better than the cheaper stuff. In regards to skin care I Simple eye makeup remover, soap to wash my face and then Byoma face oil. I don't buy any fancy skin care at all.

technic mascara in the green metallic tube, never budges.

Beauty Bay. I have their powder blusher and have just bought the liquid gel one (actually quick thick and creamy) and a very impressed.

Also Elf eyebrow mascara is excellent.
