VII SevenMakeup: VII Best Budget Beauty Buys

Never ones to shy away from a Bargain, this week we are talking Beauty on a Budget!

Of course it's lovely to treat yourself to a new Mac Lipstick or that Dior bronzer but sometimes it's more satisfying to go into Boots or Superdrug with 10 euro in your pocket and come out with some new, inexpensive, goodies to try...am I right ladies??!

And... on the plus side if they don't suit you, you haven't forked out 40 euro plus on 1 item!!

So with that being said, in this post we will talk you Girlies through some of the amazing, good quality beauty bits we swear by and all coming in under the ten euro mark!!

First Up....Skin Care

If you want your makeup to look flawless you have to start with looking after your skin and the number 1 rule we go by is ALWAYS...ALWAYS take your makeup off before going to bed!! We love the Superdrug Oval Cotton Wool pads (pictured below) as they are a great size, extremely soft and really inexpensive (usually on offer for 2 packets for €2.95).

What we use with the pads is the Loreal Skin Perfection Micellar water!

This is the BEST inexpensive makeup remover which is also extremely kind to your skin! Price around the five euro mark! If you want to know more we have a full post all about this remover which I will link below:

Last up for Skin Care is a fab face scrub!

It's important to exfoliate the skin once or twice a week and our scrub of choice is St. Ives Apricot Scrub...not only does it smell DIVINE, it leaves the skin super soft and helps with any blemishes or blackheads! It is quite a vigorous scrub so if you have sensitive skin this probably wont be for you!! Price around the 6 euro mark!

Now onto Makeup.....

One of our favourite drugstore brands is Rimmel London...the quality of there products for the price is just amazing!!

A stand out for us is the Kate Moss lipstick range...Priced at €6.95 these lipsticks give Mac a run for there money! The colour range is amazing with everything from subtle nudes to vibrant pinks and what we are really impressed with is the formula...very rich, pigmented and creamy!!

Our favourites include shade 01 - a glossy deep red and shade 03 - an everyday pinky nude!

Rimmel also do a great range of good quality mascaras. In particular the Extra Super Lash Mascara (image below) is a must have for every makeup bag! Only costing €6.95 it's the blackest of black, extremely buildable and long lasting.

Another bargain Mascara we can't live without is Maybellines Great Lash! This was the very first mascara we tried back in the day and recently picked one up on offer and fell in love with it all over again!

The colour again is the blackest black and we find this great for your lower lash line as the brush is nice and small making it easy to get every tiny lash!!

Price around the €7 mark!

Next up is the cheapest product we will mention in this post and it's the blushes from MUA!

Available from Superdrug and only costing...wait for it......€1.35 these babies are amazing value...Okay so they aren't on the same level as say the Mac or Inglot blushes but for that price they really are a bargain and great for everyday!

As you can see they are available in a great colour range and are super pigmented!! One word of advice?? If you see them BUY THEM as they are always sold out and we can see why!!

Last up is the amazing Sleek eyeshadow palettes available from CLOUD10BEAUTY!

You girls are probably sick to death hearing us talking about these but they are just incredible value....Each 12 eyeshadow palette costs just €9.99 and are a must for any makeup lover!

They also have every colour you would every want, are sooo easy to blend and highly pigmented...literally think between the two of us we have all of them!!
