Favourite Drugstore Buys Under £10

Whenever I go into Boots or Superdrug I get extremely overwhelmed because there is just so much make up to choose from! I think sometimes, like high end make up, the products can be a bit hit & miss, however, these are my most recommended for those starting out with make up or anyone who doesn't necessarily want to spend a ridiculous amount on higher end products.







Firstly, one of my favourite mascaras that I constantly find myself using is Maybelline's Rocket volume mascara. I find that this gives length as well as volume and the plastic bristled brush stops your eyelashes from looking clumpy. 
Another huge recommendation of mine is Maybelline's Cream Colour Tattoo Eyeshadow. I have the colours And On Bronze and Pink Gold. They are highly pigmented and literally last all day. They look good alone or mixed with other powdered shadows.
I love painting my nails and I have way too many nail polishes but I've always loved Barry M. I believe they are 3.99 and they last forever and don't dry out or go clumpy like some cheaper nail polishes can. I bought the colours In A Heart Beat, Eat My Dust and Get Set Go.
I've never really been one to use Soap & Glory, however, I love their Archery brow pen & pencil. I tend to use the pen side as I find it's much more easier to apply. I use it every single day and it lasts forever. I used to use Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow Pomade, although I really went off it as it didn't look natural. I also love Soap & Glory's Sexy Mother Pucker lip gloss, however recently they have just been sold out everywhere, so I went for the lip plump instead. It really tingles your lips but I wouldn't say it actually plumps them. However I really love the shades, I have the nude one and I wear it almost everyday. 
I recently re-discovered my love for Max Factor's Creme Puff Blush, I have the shade 05 Lovely Pink. It's a gorgeous subtle pink with a hint of shimmer and has a very velvety feel, it also really reminds me of the MAC Mineralised blushes so I think it's a really good cheaper alternative. I sometimes like to pair this with Rimmel's Natural Bronzer in the shade 021 Sun Light. I'm not really a pale person but I like to warm up my cheeks a little, just to give a natural matte warmth. It has no shimmer and is totally build-able, yet fairly pigmented. You only need a light swirl to get a nice colour so a little goes a long way, it also maintains well throughout the day which is a huge bonus!

  6. I love the tattoo eyeshadows too they last forever I have the same colours as you as these are my staple colours. I love bronze/gold colours and I seem to be drawn to these colours all the time.
    I have also recently got myself a couple of the speedy Barry M Nail Paints I was very curious about these but I love them and your nails do dry then they would with other nail polishes. I have Eat My Dust and Road Rage. These are the perfect colours for summer. I agree that blush does look like the mineralised blushers and highlighters by M.A.C which I love. How much was this max factor blush. I am always after trying to find cheaper alternatives. I have never tried the soap and glory archery but I have heard really good things about it.

    1. Yes their staying power is amazing! I agree they are staple colours for me too, I think they just work with everything. I really want to try the Road Rage one because I love mint as a colour I think it's so gorgeous. The blush from max factor was 8.99 which is a great alternative to MAC!
