As a student I love finding good quality and cheap makeup products,they don't break the bank and some can give the exact same look as a higher end product. For my mid week post this week I thought I would share with you my top 10 makeup products that are under £10.
I love my lip products so Its only natural I have 3 to share with you! You've probably heard me talk about the Kate Moss 107 lipstick in many of my other posts so I won't go into detail! It's my favourite red lipstick, it had super pigmentation, the colour really suits my skin tone, and its only £5.49!
My next lipstick is a nude lippy. Its the Max factor Colour Elixir Lipstick in the shade Rosewood and it's £7.99. I have to admit, i only originally bought this because of Rosewood being the town in PLL
My last lip product is a Primark lip liner that has turned out to be one of my faves. It's in the shade 09. I mostly just wear this by itself and it looks like a great matte lipstick on! It's quite similar to the Mac Brave lip liner but its slightly more brown toned. It's not too drying and blends really nicely. For £1 this is a serious bargain!
Lip products aside i'll move onto eye products. My favourite mascara in the world is the Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara and it's only £7.99. The only mascara I have to compare this to is the Benefit Roller Lash Mascara, however, this one gives a bit more volume. I love the plastic wand's shape and find that both sides really do work differently. It's really lengthening and defining and I have yet to find one that beats this!
One of my favourite eye shadows is the Kiko Long Lasting Stick Eyeshadow in the shade 05. I mentioned it in a post here. It's a gorgeous rose gold shade with shimmer. I usually use shadow sticks for quickness when I'm in a rush and the Kiko shadow sticks are always the ones I go to! They are lovely and creamy and blend so well. They also don't crease after a long time period! There has been a huge hype around the By Terry Ombre Blackstar Shadow Sticks but I don't have one to compare this too as I can't justify spending £27.50 on a single eyeshadow! But from all the reviews I've read I reckon this would be a pretty good dupe for them at £6.90.
One of my stalple brow products is the Maybelline Brow Drama which is a brow mascara. I use this when I'm on placement, getting up at 5.30am just to add some structure to my brows. I find that this is good for keeping brows in place and as the mascara is tinted brown, it adds definition. It's £4.99 and is a good dupe for the Benefit Speed Brow.
Now onto facial products, one of my faves is the Soap and Glory Peach Party Blusher. This is my summer go to blush. It's a lovely highlighting subtle peach blush. It has really great staying power and gives you the right amount of glow without overdoing it. I much prefer the subtle blushes to more pigmented ones as I find they are much easier to work with and you can build them up instead of applying too much and frantically trying to blend it all in! This one is £10.
My favourite concealer would have to be the Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer. It does everything I would want from a concealer. Its medium to high coverage, really blendable, hides my dark circles and covers any imperfections pretty well! I don't find with this one that it creases under my eyes after a long day either! A really good product for £5.49.
A Palette I swear by is the Revolution Protection Palette. It's for concealing and contouring. It contains 3 concealers, a face powder, a bronzer, blusher and a highlighter. I find this kit is so handy for travelling and on the go make up. Each product in the palette is so blendable and the pigmentation is amazing. I have the palette in the medium-dark shade as I like my contour on the darker side and I find this palette really works well for my skin tone. The concealers don't crease, the powder keeps me matte, the highlighter is creamy and the blush is a gorgeous everyday shade. I really can't praise this palette enough, and its only £6!
My last favourite product that is under £10 is the Bourjois Poudre De Riz De Java. This is £9.99 and its an illuminating powder as opposed to a matte one. It's such a lovely face powder that adds just a little something extra. Its got a slight shimmer to it. However, this powder doesn't make you look like a disco ball at all, it adds a lovely healthy glow to the skin. I find this one is really long lasting and even though its illuminating I find it still keeps my oily t-zone at bay.
L-R: Primark Lipliner in no.09, Max Factor Lipstick in Rosewood, Rimmel Kate moss in 107, Kiko eyeshadow stick in no.05, Bourjois Powder, Soap and Glory blush in Peach Party.
