Sleek Eyeshadow Palettes
The Sleek Eyeshadow Palettes are a fantastic buy for someone who really wants a great product for a fraction of the price. These eyeshadow palettes from Sleek were actually the first palette I ever tried and they made me fall in love with eyeshadow. They are packaged in cute black palettes, which are sturdy and travel well (the shadows won't shatter in your handbag or on a train ride home). There is no denying that the eyeshadows are pigmented, easy to blend and really high quality. They are easy to apply and they have no fallout either! Pictured is the Sleek Eyeshadow Palette in Bad Girl*, which is full of rich purples, glitters and pretty navy hues, which means you can create an eyeshadow look which packs a punch.

Gone are the days that you had to head to Boots or Superdrug to pick up affordable makeup. You can now pick up fantastic products whilst you tour the supermarkets looking for your weekly food bargains. The lineup of the Sainsbury’s Boutique collection has everything from smokey eyeshadow palettes to lipsticks. However, the single eyeshadow in‘Forty Winks*’ which is a stunning shimmer taupe, which looks fantastic on the eyes, on the brow bone or as a highlighter.
Parissa Azulene Oil
This product is from an all-natural waxing brand called Parissa (well known for their innovative products for brows and body). The Parissa Azulene Oil* is a stunning oil, which is naturally cobalt blue in colour. The formula is infused with chamomile and it's designed to prevent ingrowing hairs. However, what's so fantastic about this oil is that it's truly multi-purpose, which makes it perfect for small budgets. You can the oil for taming annoying flyaway hairs, moisturising dry skin and it's fantastic for removing waterproof mascara.
Barry M Nail Polish
I really don't think Barry M needs much of an introduction, especially within the beauty community. The Barry M stands in my local Boots store are some of my earliest memories of loving makeup. I'd have £5 to spare and I was always drawn to the bright colours and the pretty packaging. I truly think you can't go wrong with Barry M Nail Polishes, they have every colour you could dream of and they are super affordable. It means you can have a colour for each of your evening outfits, without spending all of your student loan!
NIVEA In-Shower Body Moisturiser
If you listen to some of the beauty experts, they'll always tell you to look at some of the established brands for a beauty bargain. Brands like NIVEA spend a fortune on researching products so if you're looking for a decent product NIVEA tends to be a good place to start. Who remembers when the In-Shower Body Moisturiser* launched and had the beauty world in awe? You simply wash as normal in the shower and then you follow your shower gel with this innovative body cream. Simply coat your skin and then wash it off, you're left with soft moisturised skin and you don't need to moisturise after your shower either! It's a great two-in-one product and it saves you from applying moisturiser in the cold if you're saving money on your heating bill (we've all been there)!
