Great Cosmetics Cost Cutting Hunt

Sarah_B_8

Hi all!

Loads of great info here, well done all.
Though I would add my pennies worth. Just got my Evian Affinity products delivered from https://www.cosmeticsfairy.co.uk and I can defiantly recommend them. Just out of interest has anybody used the Juvenex 1 anti-wrinkle cream? Is it any good?

Thanks all

try https://www.beautynaturals.com they use only natural and prganic ingredients.Post-free 2nd class, probably reflected in price- though you get £2 off orders over £25, £5 off over £40. The pure organic rosehip oil has worked wonders ( well, anyway i think so! ) on my rather mature skin- also used it as after -sun. My skin is very sensitive- this oil just melts into your face after about an hour. You have to be sparing with it, or you look like a greasy chip! You can put your normal moisturiser on top. Also Laura Mercier's Secret finish gives a great glow, but expensive and hard to get hold of. I had mine off ebay from USA.

Places like TJ Hughes often buy up (presumably) old or end of line stock of named cosmetics and toiletries which you can get for a fraction of the cost. They also tend to have a lot of coffrets (that's "gift sets" for you men out there who don't know what one is ) which can be bought for a few pounds and stored away for those Xmas and birthday pressies.

The same applies to Watt brothers (not sure if they hav only stores in Scotland)
and also Semichem ( only in Scotland and N.I) I found a CK lip pallete for £3.50
Ethel Austin ( with a nationwide network of more than 300 stores extending from Scotland to the South West,and from Wales to the South East.)

Not sure what hair products you are after, but there is a company called StarGazer https://www.stargazer-products.com that have some great hair products from styling to colour.
Hope that helps.

If anyone is looking for a good skin firning body lotion try St Ives. They do one for £2.99 (huge 400ml bottle). Its not greasy and you don't need a lot and it comes in a pump dispenser bottle. You can see results in about a week. One bottle used everyday lasts me about 4-5 months. Superdrug sometimes have this on offer at £2.69.

Superdrug have this on special offer at the moment although it is priced at £3.99 for a 400ml bottle it is buy one get one free so even better value.

Not sure if this has been posted, but www.lilylolo.co.uk do samples of eyeshadows for 29p and her postage is really cheap - I ordered about 10 samples and it was still only 50p! The samples are loose powder, but I put mine in little screw top jars. One sample last for absolutely ages - I've had mine since March and the only one I've used up is a pale one which I doubled as a base so I use it every day.

Fab site! :money: Thanks x I just emailed my Mum and sis the link x

Hello x

Here are a few more ideas that I have found x

1. I love this Neuotrogena 2 in 1 face wash and Mask. Its really good.
I use it everyday and then when I remember I leave it on as a mask.

2. I have just bought this new collection 2000 lipgloss and its fab!

Its called PRISMATIQUE and its just great. Its got a bit of sparkle to it which lasts for ages x Bargain!

Sorry can't find a link.

3. Once a day sun lotions ! Hurray - Just got back from Portugal and these are just so easy - slap it on and on a couple of days when it was really hot we did have reapply but not too often x

4. I have just splurged on clinique make-up products and although some I am not too keen on - I love this

pore minimiser but this is like an instant one. I don't like their big tube as much as this x

HERE



AND last but not least - I love this Benefit Mascara
