My faceeeee.

Using NOTHING but cheap (good quality) make up products.
To be honest, i'm sick of being told to use really expensive brands.
Don't get me wrong,
I really love using expensive, quality products,
When i can afford it,
But right now it's beauty on a budget.
So i used every cheap but great quality product i have used many a time before.
(Probably best for those who live in the uk due to drugstore brands)

Please note, the pictures are of the product and may not be the same shade as i used, there just to show you what the products look like :]


What i used:
Face:
Avon Invisible Light Illuminating Make Up Base: £4.00
(I find this stuff brilliant, it leaves your skin feeling like silk and creates a nice illuminated base for your foundation)


Collection 2000 smoothly radiant foundation #01 soft honey: about £3.99?

(This is a light to medium coverage foundation and is great for evening out skin tone, if you suffer with blemishes and or spots i would use a concealer too. but for the price, who cares?)


No 17 Skin Awakening blush (the only shade) (Excellent pigment, a bright candy pink colour) £1.89 might have been on offer?



No7 Quick Cover Blemish Stick: £7.30 #03 fair


Absolutely excellent concealer, melts right into skin and gives great coverage
Velvety to the touch and completely combats any sign of redness.

Eye's:
Color trend pencil play eyeliner: £2.75 in green



(quite good pigemnt and the shade is lovely, they have more good shades to choose from, would definatelyreccomend

All over eyelid:
Avon Glazewear Diamonds Eye Colour in Gold foil: £5.00 or any 2 mix and match for £7.50





(Liquid eyeshadow with lovely light shimmery gold colour very subtle or can be built up for more drama)


Inner corners:
Collection 2000 The Highlighter #3 Copacabana Found for £1.50 but ranges upto about £4.00

(Creamy shimmer stick that is very multipurpose and can be used on eyes lips and cheeks. Lovely pale gold colour and lasts forever.)


Crease and outer corners:
Miss sporty fabulous eye shadow #118 emotion: £2.44
(darkish matte brown colour that is great for blending, takes more building up for more dramatic look but a good staple and lots of nice shades)
sorry no picture.

Rimmel magnifeyes mascara in black £6.84

(The trick with this mascara is to be careful with the brush, it has sort of plastic bristles and they do snap easily but if you are careful it lasts the distance. very thick and easy to build, lengthens as well as volumises. good for the money, infact there have been times where i have reached for this over expensive brands)

Lips:
Avon Arabian Glow Liquid Lip Balm in Coral Sands: £5.00 mix and match 2 for £8.00


(very thick sheer candy pink coloured gloss, even when the gloss has started to come off you are left with a shimmery pink colour which is nice, lips always feel smooth after using this.

So there we go,
Cosmetics don't have to be expensive and i actively use all the products listed.
Save yourself some money!
