Top 10 under £10 beauty buys

As someone who loves makeup, that feeling of a new product that is instantly a favourite is something I love. I always want to tell everyone and anyone about the product, because who doesn't love a good recommendation especially when its under £10. I usually end up buying that product in every colour I like or that suits me as you will see, so here are my top ten under £10 beauty buys. 



1. Bourjois Color Boost Lip Crayon - £7.99
I may have mentioned these a couple of times... and honestly I love them. I have them in five colours; 01 Red Sunrise, 04 Peach on the Beach, 02 Fuchsia Libre, 06 Plum Russian and 05 Red Russian. They  are highly pigmented, moisturising and have great staying power. So easily applied, they are my handbag staple for day where I need something I can reapply quickly and easily. I couldn't recommend this more, go and have a try. 


2. Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer - £4.19
Quite honestly the best high street concealer and a favourite of so many beauty bloggers. I use the colour 1 Fair, it blends with any foundation seamlessly whether its Rimmel or Mac. It is so easy to apply and blends with a brush or a finger. A definite must have. 

3. Sally-Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat - £5.99
Again I am sure I have mentioned this before but I couldn't live without it. It is made for the impatient, who can be bothered to sit and wait for their nails to dry? I have found that within a few minutes nails are dry to touch, obviously don't go washing up or doing anything too hands heavy but generally they stay smudge free.  

4. Lips by Topshop - £8.00
Once I had tried one of these I knew I was on to something, I love them. They are great long-lasting and highly pigmented lipsticks, I have found that they are a great dupe for Mac lipsticks. I have four at the moment and my eye on a perfect one for winter. The colours I have are Beehive, Brighton Rock, Crystal and Really Ruby. I wore Brighton Rock a lot in the summer, it was most defiantly my summer favourite. 


5. Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint by BarryM - £3.99
Another summer favourite, I think this was possibly my most talked about product in the summer. One coat is enough of these, they are super shiny and look just like gel nails. They come in so many gorgeous colours and apply so easily I don't think there is anything not to like about these. I have seven colours; Guava 332, Key Lime 323, Dragon 319, Papaya 327, Satsuma 312, Passion Fruit 334 and one colour without a label. 

6. Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation - £6.99
I bought this after so many beauty bloggers raved about it and I love it. Its a great high street foundation, it has excellent coverage without be heaving and clogging. It smells nice which is always a plus and lasts all day. I have it in the colour 100 Ivory and it matches my skin really nicely. If you need a new foundation definitely give this a try. 

7. Batiste XXL Plumping Powder - £3.99
As someone with relatively thin hair sometimes I need something to give a bit of volume, I have tried blowdrying spays but I find they make my hair sticky, when I found this I was super happy. It is like a talcum powder you apply to the roots of your hair and rub in and you get instant volume. Defiantly give it ago. 

8. Sleek Face Contour Kit - £6.49
I forgot that I had this until a few days ago when I fell back in love with it. It is such a simple product that can change a makeup look, contouring your cheeks always makes such a difference. I have this is in the colour light, it has a matte bronzing powder on one side and then a highlighter on the other side. A great addition to any make up bag. 

9. Lee Stafford Poker Straight - £5.99
The reasons I love this are simple, it smells great and protects my hair against the heat I apply almost daily. I use it along with Lee Stafford Dehumidifier and I find that my hair is always shiny and kept in place all day. 

10. L'oreal Voluminous - £8.49
I really love the way my lashes look with this mascara, although I have been using a different mascara recently sometimes I will venture back to this. I always feel that mascara is about finding the right one for you, everyone has different lashes that need a different boost. This is a classic that mascara and if you are after something new give it a try. 


All prices are from either Boots or Superdrug apart from the Topshop Lipsticks which are obviously from Topshop. The prices represent the full price, although some are currently on offer. The pictures and swatches are in colour order as described. 

I hope you are all wrapping up warm and finding you perfect winter makeup and outfits.
