items Come on people, you and I both know that we can barely afford that gorgeous jumper we saw in the shopping mall, let alone a new makeup and skincare routine. But beauty is sacrifice and sometimes it's worth the extra penny! I've collected all my fave ...

Make-Up That's Worth It
Sometimes you want to treat yourself, and that's okay. But make sure you aren't wasting that hard-earned cash on things that run out or simply aren't worth the hole in your purse. Though the price tag might make you flinch, these are lovely gift idea...
Now I know this is a common one, but it's truly worth the price tag. It lasts forever, it has a glowy finish and depending on your palette of choice, it's got a great range of colours. Choose the one that matches your vibe and it'll soon be your best...

Entdecke die Luminous Silk Foundation - Armani beauty
This is a foundation made to endure high temperatures, humidity, sweat and tears. It blends like a second skin and has a 50ml bottle larger than standard foundations. If you live in a warmer climate or are visiting a humid country, this is your safes...
Dior Backstage Face & Body Foundation: feuchtigkeitsspendend
This is coming into the start of my second year with this wonderful product and I'm still amazed by how little it takes to conceal even my largest blemishes. It's a perfect buy for people who prefer to skip the foundation because it provides that lon...
Vanish™ Airbrush Concealer | 16 Hour Wear
Are you tired of your skin looking dry and flat? This palette works as a finishing powder, bronzer and blush and utilises photoluminescent technology (yes i did have to search that up!) to stop the harsh light from ruining your look. A three-in-one b...
Ambient™ Lighting Palette | Multi-Dimensional Glow
This is an expensive product and I did have to consider recommending it or not because I got it as a gift. However, I caved in because it has three times the amount of product than your standard setting powder. When you factor that into your makeup b...
POUDRE UNIVERSELLE LIBRE Natural finish loose ...
I have tried some of the cheape dupes for this and just do not work for me. I love a velvety formula that has no friction on my chapped lips and this works a treat. I once wore it for a friends wedding and it kept my lipstick looking divine for the w...
Lip Liner Pencils: Waterproof & Long-lasting
Budget Bestfriends
In this economy, we don't need to be spending all that money on a few foundations and lipsticks. Though the previous products are gorgeous and wonderful in their own way, I can't personally be affording all that every 6 months. If you agree, this is ...
If your fyp is anything like mine, I know you've seen this everywhere and that's for good reason. It does its job and it does its job well which is all that matters. Once I used it I couldn't stop. This is a must-have product if you're starting out o...
Power Grip Primer
If you're less inclined to purchase a high-end concealer, this one is your next best option. It has a built-in cushion applicator and most importantly, doesn't leave fine lines in your undereyes. Personally its a pet peeve of mine and this product ha...
Instant Age Rewind® Eraser Multi-Use Concealer - Maybelline
These have a luxurious creamy formula that don't tug on your lips at all. They aren't the most long-lasting, but they're cheap and they have you walking out with a confident smile on your face and that's all that matters.
new mua intense colour lip liner
Sometimes those wild eyebrow hairs refused to be tamed and you have to pull out the big guns. Well, look no further. This brow glue is strong. It doesn't flake, it's not sticky which is a sensory lifesaver AND it lasts for 24 hours. I'm yet to find a...
Eyebrow Glue Instant Brow Styler - NYX Cosmetics
Another long-lasting one for you all, and waterproof! This one is so long-lasting and un-smudgable that it took me quite a few scrubs with the micellar water to remove it. It's ideal for rainy weather or an active day.
12 Hour Contour Pencil Eyeliner - SEPHORA COLLECTION
If you're looking for a dupe glow primer, look no further. You can wear this bare-faced, mixed with foundation or dabbed on top of your cheekbones, all resulting in a glowy, stunning look. I still receive so many compliments whenever I wear this.
Filter Finish Complexion Boosting Primer - Collection Cosmetics
Avacado oil infused?!?! Sign me up! This lipstick has me beyond words, literally. I don't always love a matte finish but when it works, it works. This lasted me ages and it's so high coverage. Whether your going out for a meal or for a cheeky date in...
Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick - SEPHORA COLLECTION
Keep That Face Sparkling
In my opinion, skincare is more important than the makeup used to cover it up. It's futile to want a glowy and healthy finish to your foundation if your skin in dehydrated, acne-ridden and dull. These recommendations are on the more expensive side, b...
Now I searched this one up because I knew I wasn't the only one who swears by this Vitamin C serum. Turns out its also highly regarded by dermatologists as well. The Vitamin C stays completely stable and lasts on your gorgeous skin for up to 72 hours...
Vitamin C Serums - CE Ferulic® with 15% L-Ascorbic Acid
Buying the largest bottle available saved me a lot of money in the long run. And with its wrinkle-smoothing capabilities and repairing of the skin barrier overnight, it changed perspective on serums for ever. Please don't settle for something that on...
Advanced Night Repair Serum Synchronized Multi-Recovery ...
If your skin is flaking, raw or damaged by harsh acne treatments or cold weather, like mine is :(, then don't even bother with cheaper moisturisers that only provide surface-level penetration. These is a Korean formulas mimic and repair your broken s...
Dr.Jart+ Official Site: skincare, beauty innovations & routines
Skincare for All!
The only products that are worth the extra £30-40 are serums or specialised moisturisers. If you aren't looking for those then this is the place for you. From sunscreen to cleansers, I've got the recommendation for you. I have tried and tested so man...
This penetrates deep and removes those annoying blackheads and prevents your next acne breakout. You only need to use a few drops twice a week to see massive results. My own bottle has lasted me at least 9 months, give or take. Take it or leave it, b...
Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Exfoliating Toner | Paula's Choice
You can find this everywhere and for good reason. It works for normal to dry skin types and it contains ceramides and hyluronic acid to clean your skin whilst maintaining your natural protective barrier. It's a win-win situation! After using it you n...
CeraVe Feuchtigkeitsspendende Reinigungslotion
This product will remove your makeup and daily sunscreen in a heartbeat. It begins as a balm-like paste but soon melts into a highly effective cleansing oil that (most importantly) doesn't dry out your skin. I always use it after nights out because i...
The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser
Though it only stops acne and blackheads, this single-active formula does its job exceedingly well. With the salicylic acid going straight into your pores to dig out the dead skin cells and excess sebum, it stops your breakouts before they even appea...
The INKEY List™ Salicylic Acid Cleanser 150ml - Boots
Now this one is what I call a multi-tasking product. It regulates your oil production, visually shrinks expanded pores in days and fades those stubborn red marks left behind by old spots. Coming from someone who religiously picks at their face (it's ...
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Oil Control Serum | The Ordinary
This is so light-weight it might as well float away. It drenches your skin with hydration and doesn't feel the slightest bit greasy. Put down that cheap, cornerstore mousturiser and choose this one instead, especially if you have oily or combination ...
Oil Free Moisturizer for Oily Skin - Omega Water Cream
Again, the dermatologists are backing me up on this one. What can I say, it's just the ultimate daily sun protection. it's light-weight, non-greasy and has no white cast. What more do you need from a sunscreen? It fit into my morning routine so easil...
