5 £5 or less Bargain Beauty Buys Part 2

Seen as part 1 went down so well i thought I'd do a part 2 of Bargain Beauty Buys. After all we all love a bargain & at less than £5 these treats are affordable for every budget.

The first item on my list was spotted over at my gorgeous friend Miss Jones blog  
Found at Bodycare is this dupe for Benefit high beam. This little pot of shimmery loveliness costs just £1.99 opposed to the Benefit one at around £18.50 so a complete bargain.




2nd on my list is a treat for the hair. This intensive deep repair mask is just £2.95 from fragrance direct
I read a few great reviews on this and thought id give it a go. It smells gorgeous and using it once a week as a treatment leaves my hair feeling super soft and nourished. This works just as well as many other far more expensive treatments. Worth a go if you have dry ends and need a bit of TLC.


 BARGAIN ALERT ! Waterproof eyeliner. This one i am super excited to tell you about as this is an unbelievable find. I ordered this off ebay. Not expecting a lot as it cost just £1.27 yes unbelievable right? Anyway it is an amazing cream eyeliner. It's the blackest of blacks its the most smooth liner Ive ever come across and it doesn't budge once its on. I even use it on my waterline with no irritation or anything. Although obviously this is done at your own risk.


Swatches: Left is Avon supershock which people rave about how dark the colour is. On the right is this which is darker still :)
 Eyeliner as seen in the below photo found here


3rd on my bargain finds is this little spray perfume from AVON. I paid £2.50 for this. Its a gorgeous blend of Vanilla and juicy berries and it smells divine. Its a small size so fits perfectly in your bag for a night out. I've had loads of compliments when i wear this.



Last but not least is this pure coconut body oil which i got from savers for about £2. It smells absolutely gorgeous and leaves my skin really moisturised and silky and smelling sweet. I like to use an oil on my legs when I'm wearing fake tan as the sheen is quite flattering. If you don't have a savers you can get this online from Amazon for £2.20 here


That's it for part 2. Hope you like my bargain finds this time and if you see something you end up buying let me know what you think? Have a great weekend xx

FOTD On The Sly

Morning my beautiful girlie's. Just a quick FOTD to show you my pretty new lipstick that i received yesterday from my lovely friend.

Here's what I'm wearing today:



Mac Face & Body foundation
Benefit on the sly full finish lipstick
Benefit brow pencil


I am in love with this lipstick, i couldn't of chosen better myself. Available here  £14


Eyes were kept neutral and i added some lashes in style IB10 available here
10 pairs for just £6.48. I love how natural they look.

I am interested to know what your favourite lashes are style wise. Do you like the natural pretty lashes or do you like the thick full on glamour type or long, winged, half, corner. Or even individual or semi permanent? So many lashes and so little time xx

It's only Xmas twice a year!

Evening my lovely blogging friends. Today i had a fantastic afternoon with one of my best friends who i haven't seen since before Xmas. We went for some food and drinks and generally gossiped and laughed and i made coy noises at her beautiful little girl who is just 9 months old.

Anyway she gave me my Xmas pressy and here's what it was:


 Mark Hill Bag and Party Animal products. She knows i love a bit of zebra print. I've not tried any of these so i can't wait to use them.





Benefit Makeup bag with lots of products. I'm not sure if these are the real deal but Ive tried the lippy and its gorgeous and the eyeshadows are really pigmented. Cant wait to try this little lot out. Maybe a FOTD tomorrow with these beauties.
Imy friends
