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 :)

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

Battle of the Blackest!

When you think how many black eyeliners there are on the market its unsurprising that some of them can let us down a bit in terms of colour payoff and lasting ability. I'm not talking about about liquids or gels but a good black eyeliner pencil is probably many a girls best friend, so i thought I'd show you my favourites.

My 5 Faves

Swatches Top: Avon Supershock £6
                2nd: Barry M Intense eyeliner Black £3.99
                Middle: Urban Decay 24/7 Zero £13.00
                Gosh: Velvet Touch liner black ink £4.49
                Bottom: Prestige Total intensity Deepest Black £5.49


Avon Supershock is my latest purchase and it hasn't let me down. Beautiful rich deep black which is so easy to apply and even lasts well on the waterline. At just £6 it is a bargain and i really do prefer it over my Urban Decay 24/7 liner.


Long Term Love Affair is with Prestige Intensity. The bottom swatch. This is the Blackest out of all 5 liners. Perfect for a really dramatic look. It also lasts like crazy. Once its on it doesn't move. I even find it to be waterproof so perfect for holidays. Again a bargain price at just £5.49

 

Do you have a favourite black eyeliner? Do you stick to the same brand or are you always searching for the perfect one ???
