I am a total fan of Estee Lauder and L'Oreal make up (same parent company by the way. Most Estee make up appears as a new L'Oreal product after about a year), but these are so expensive! I'd cut my make up budget originally by buying on the internet but after running out of foundation I bought Aldi's (yes the supermarket) own brand make up (Lacura) and the foundation was superb!!!!! Its £1.49 for a 30ml tube. :T

Have since tried their bronzer (£1.29) comes in light and dark and again its great. Their lipsticks too are fab and for £1.29 thay come with the matching lip liner.

Still to try their nail varnish (£0.99) and their duo eye shadows (£1.29) and their mascara (£1.49, this beat L'Oreal and Chanel recently in some beauty awards).

Just in case you're wondering I have very sensitive skin so would happily recommend their products to anyone who like me has to watch what they put on their face. Even though the prices are cheap all the packaging the make up comes in is nice. The lipsticks come in a nice silver (metal) tube.

Sounds a bit weird but look out for beauty microfibre cloths/mitts. They sell them in Bodycare, Superdrug and I got mine in my local pound shop. You can use these for cleansing your face just using hot water. The fibres (sorry if this sounds disgusting) reach down into your pores and sweep out all the grime. This mitt is reusable and is cared for exactly the same way your normal microfibre cleaning cloths are except the fibres on these ones are finer.

I didn't know aldi did make up! I've never seen it in my local store I don't think, I may have a gander next time I'm there! You can't complain atthose prices can you?!

The make up is normally in a black cardboard box near the shower gels and baby wipes. All ALDI stores stock at least the basic range of the make up (I checked). According to Aldi the basic range is foundation, pressed powder, duo eye shadow, mascara, lipstick and lip liner. If you don't see it ask one of the assistants. They now also have lip gloss in the range (£1.29). Planning on buying a few items for friends for presents.

Yes, but I don't buy it.

I believe Lidl get some make up as part of their weekly specials. But not sure if they have it as a regular stock item.

Like the Estee stuff, I found out that the Loreal Elvive haircare has pretty much exactly the same ingredients as the Kerastase range which I used to buy from the hairdresser, just with extra scent and colour! I've swapped and if anything my hair looks better than when I was using an expensive brand, and its often on BOGOF. Definitely recommend it, especially the anti frizz intensive conditioner.

I use expensive (Lancome - eek!) foundatio,. mascara and eye make up remover but have found every other makeup item and skincare can be cheap, I really like Simple's range as i have sensitive skin and everywhere sells it.

I use ~~~~~~~

Witch hazel as a facial toner and for spots approx 79pence for a bottle from the chemist - lasts for ages too

Oil of Olay Sensory Touch Moisteriser £4.44 from Wilkinsons - cant beat it for my skin. Sensitive with a oily T-zone.

Pantene conditioner with what ever shampoo is lying around. (usually a coconut smelling one though as I lurveeee coconut.)

Use a small blob of conditioner onto wet hands - rub together and smooth over hair like its serum. gets rid of all the fine flyway fuzzy bits without being greasy.

Simple soaps & showergel - wherever I can get them on offer.

I use a cheap palate of eyeshadows by Collection 2000 - every colour under the sun. (9 colours for £1.99)

Avon tinted moisteriser usually £4.99 a tube but get it off Ebay for £2.49 including P & P

Avon Lash designer mascara £6.99 normally - £2-3 off Ebay

Thats my cheapy cosmetics - spend a bit more on .....

Virgin Vie Crackle Body Showergel and fake tan.

Estee Lauder & Chanel Lipticks

Perfume - lots of different kinds fav at the minute being Cinema by YSL.
