1. Rimmel Wake me up Foundation: £7.99 - £8.99
I bought this around 2 months ago, and I've been opting for this whenever I've worn foundation. It has a beautiful finish on the skin - and makes you look glowing. I don't apply very much (half a pump? Or maybe even less) - yet when caught by the sun, it just gives a gorgeous glow. It retails for around £8.99 BUT can be found for even less. I bought mine for £4.59 at Wilkinsons. Superdrugs and Boots usually have some sort of promotion going on, you just need to catch it on time! One problem with this is that it does have a limited shade range which is really disappointing because I'm sure they'd be selling like hot cakes if more shades were available.
2. Rimmel Stay Matte Translucent Powder: £3.99
I think I've used this nearly every day since I've bought it and I hit pan. Despite having dry skin, I have an oily t-zone. This keeps the shine at bay for most of the day. The packaging isn't great - my one smashed (in my makeup bag), so I'd advise you to be really careful when travelling with it.
3. Rimmel Exaggerate Full Cover Lip Liner in 063 Eastend Snob: £2.99
This is the third time I've bought this. The formula is really creamy and glides on. It's a twist-up pencil, which means NO SHARPENING. I personally love this colour, however - they do have a range of colours. Be sure to check them out.
4. Rimmel 60 Second Nail Polish in 405 Rose Libertine: £1.99
I love this formula of Nail Polish. It is honestly one of the fastest drying I've tried and they have a gorgeous colour range to suit an array of skin tones.
5. Natural Collection Blushed Cheeks Blusher in Peach Melba: £1.99
This is the said dupe of MAC's blush in Melba. The colour is exactly the same. I've swatched in-store and compared multiple times. So, if you've been eyeing up Melba by MAC, it may be wise to choose this. It's £2. It doesn't however have longevity but for the price, you can't go wrong.
6. Nivea Tinted Lip balm in Soft Rose: £1.99
This is just a standard lip balm which I've been using since I was 11. (I used to use the blue version which is colourless). I like these because they are moisturising as well as have a tiny bit of colour (I say tiny because I have pigmented lips, so it doesn't really show as well). It also has SPF 15, which is great for everyday.
7. Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer: £6.99
I don't think I shall go on about this again, check out my blog post here for a full review.
8. Maybelline Color Tattoo - Cream Eyeshadow £4.99
These are really good and are very comparable to the MAC Paint Pots. They have a great selection of colours and are really easy to use. I like them because you can just use your finger to blend them on your eyelid, rather than fork out another brush and use it. It's very well suited for busy mornings when you want to look like you've put in effort, when in all honesty - you haven't.
9. Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Honey: £6.99
Summarizing this product in one sentence: It's a great, easy to use lip balm/tint that has great colour pay off as well as being super moisturising.
10. Revlon Super Lustrous Lip gloss in 235 Pink Pop: £6.99
The formula of these lip glosses are really lovely! They have the perfect amount of glossiness to them, and they last about 2 hours on me - which is pretty amazing for lip glosses.
