Budget Beauty Haul
I've bought a couple of things over the past few weeks - some makeup, some bodycare as well a little bit of skincare. It's also all very affordable & available at the drugstore so I'm sharing it with you today in this budget beauty haul!
Soap & Glory
Recently I discovered the Sugar Crush scent from S&G through the body wash (review) and let's just say obsessed doesn't come close to describing how I feel about it. When I saw there was a 3 for 2 offer in Boots I had to make the most of it and get some more from the range. I picked up the body lotion (£10), body spray (£4) and the Hand Food hand cream (£2.50) and couldn't be more thrilled to have them in my life! If the body scrub hadn't have been out of stock I would have took that straight to the till too but I'm sure I'll hunt it down sometime. Dear Soap & Glory, if you ever made a lip balm with this scent I'd be all over it. Sincerely, a serious Sugar Crush fan.
Wet 'n' Wild
The Mega Protein mascara is my first product the brand I've heard countless beauty Youtubers talk about for years but I'd never heard anything about this before. It was only £2.79 if I remember correctly and if you read my February Favourites then you'll know I've already been using & loving it for a couple of weeks now! Check out that post if you want to know more of my thoughts on it but for here I will say that I really recommend it if you want a lovely natural but fanned out lash look without spending a lot to get it.
Boots Botanics
This is another personal brand first & another product I bought without hearing anything about. However, Boots Botanics has been on my radar for a while now and I thought if not now then when? I have to be honest with you - when I was in the shop my eyes must have somehow missed where it said 'serum' because I actually meant to pick up a different product entirely! Not sure how that happened so it was a surprise when I got home and opened it but, no harm done as it sounds like a great product. I think of it as a happy accident and a very budget friendly one too! The All Bright serum costs £6.99 but I got it on offer for just £3.49. I'll definitely get back to you with a full review once I've given it a proper test!
Collection
I don't think the Lasting Perfection concealer (£4.19) needs any introduction; it's a well known & well loved product by so many. I've repurchased it time & time again but when my last one ran out I didn't as I wanted to try some alternatives and see how they compared. Well, temptation & familiarity got the better of me and I have a new tube! I'll be interested to see if I still love it as much as I once did. Time will tell!
Rimmel
The Clear Complexion powder (£3.99) has also been a firm favourite of mine for a long time and I don't think it gets enough recognition from bloggers. It smoothes and blurs over your skin, giving it that much sought after evened out finish without caking at all. I'm pleased to have a new one in my life as my old one had cracked and crumbled as most powders inevitably do after a while!
Wet 'n' Wild
Last but not least is the Walking on Eggshells palette by Wet 'n' Wild. I got this at the same time as the mascara but haven't gotten round to using it yet, however if I like it I'm sure you'll know about it! I can't remember how much it cost exactly but I know it wasn't any more than a few pounds.
