Where To Splurge & Save

Being a beauty blogger comes with an endless wishlist of expensive makeup. It's debatable whether it's good thing when you can't walk out of Boots without a new purchase but it's definitely not good when your dream wishlist costs thousands of pounds. When it comes to buying makeup products, there's always some sort of price range I follow. That's what I'd like to share in today's post - how to spread out your money so that you can get the most from it!

C O N C E A L E R :: I'd always say to skip splurging on concealers due to the amount of amazing ones in the drugstore. I swear by my Collection Lasting Perfection concealer and wouldn't be without it. This costs just £3.99 and you get a decent amount of amazing concealer that covers anything from redness and blemishes to under-eye circles. Now that I've found this, I refuse to buy any expensive concealers because this one does all I'll ever need. Seriously the best!

M A S C A R A :: Another product that I refuse to splash out on is mascara. I'm still yet to even buy a higher end brand of mascara because the standard of ones in the drugstore is too good to miss. A mascara I've fallen in love with recently is the Maybelline Lash Sensational, a relatively new product in at Boots and it's incredible. It makes my lashes look long, fluttery and the brush is incredible. Watch out for me using it in a new video this week!

L I Q U I D   L I N E R :: Again, I will definitely not spend my money on a liquid liner. I love my Collection 24 Hour Felt Tip liner & it's the best one I've ever used. Considering I bought this last summer and it's still going strong, it's definitely earned it's holy grail status from my makeup collection! This has anything that I could ever want from a liquid liner and I will not ever buy a more expensive one!

F O U N D A T I O N :: One of the things that I don't mind splashing out on is foundation. To me, starting with a great base means a great overall makeup application. Although the standard of drugstore foundations are amazingly high, I'm yet to find anything that competes with NARS Sheer Glow. It's the fullest of coverages & gives a gorgeous glow, meaning I'm not afraid of spending slightly more on my base.

E Y E   S H A D O W :: I'm a sucker for eye shadow and I still stand by high-end brands. My all-time favourite eye shadow formula is those from Urban Decay, especially those in the Naked palette. They're gorgeous shades, amazing pigmentation and super easy to work with. What else could you want from an eye shadow?
