The Beauty Edit: A Cheap, Glowing Haul

Not only is this my first post in a very long time but it’s also something that this blog has never seen. But I’m a big beauty fan and wanted to introduce this part of me today.

I have zero talent in the area but I love playing around with makeup and recently my obsession for the stuff has come back with a vengeance. So today I thought I’d treat myself once again (come on, it’s exam season!) and buy myself some little beauty bits. But as I am a) a student and b) a natural cheapskate I didn’t even hesitate to rely on my local Boots and Superdrug to supply me with some much sought over goodies!

The Whole Lot: Makeup Revolution Pro-Fix Oil Control Fixing Spray; Collection Illuminating Touch Brightening Concealer in #1 Naked; Collection Prime and Ready Eye Concealer; Natural Collection Eyeshadows in Heather, Milk Chocolate, Butterscotch & Willow; Natural Collection Polish in Praline; MUA Velvet Lip Lacquer in Tranquility.

Prime, Conceal & Fix

L-R: Heather, Milk Chocolate, Butterscotch & Willow

 

Natural Collection is a brand I used to love when I was about thirteen and had just started to play with makeup as it is so affordable! But I’m sad to say I’d all but forgotten about it until recently. The brand may not be everyone’s favourite but it’s super cheap and accessible and some of the colours are just so pretty!

I am yet to test any of these products out but reviews may come in the future if that is what you would like to see.

What are some of your favourite drugstore brands?

Speak soon,
