My Top Beauty Buys £3 and under

So... I'm a bit of a cheap skate! Okay no, I'll re-word that... I love a bargain! And if there's  product out there that works well and is super cheap then well, it's just a win win really isn't it?
I always get so much feedback on posts which include bargain products so I thought I would start sharing some of my favourite 'cheaper' beauty buys!
Starting with my top picks of things £3 and under!
 I've picked a variety of products ranging from skin to hair to my fav - make-up! These are all amazing and I repurchase alot of them I have used for years and repurchase again and again!
First up I've included some daily essentials!
Mitchum Roll On Shower Fresh : I have used this deodorant for the last.... well I don't remember a time when I didn't use it! It works perfectly for me, I never sweat and I never smell, the perfect roll on! I hve recommended this to so many people over the years and always get great feedback and it's only £2.89!
Boots Cotton Wool Double Faced Oval pads : These are hands down the best cotton wool pads to get! They are large, thick and you definitley only need one! These are my favourite to use with my Liz Earle Skin Tonic, I haven't used any other cotton pads in years. They are just £1.89.
Nivea Soft 75ml Tube : Yes, this stuff was recently mentioned in my May Favs but that won't stop me from bringing it up again, no sir! I love this stuff and have used it every evening for probably a year now, I recently decided to start buying the small tubes and am finding them brilliant - they are usually £2.49 per tube but they were on offer in Superdrug for half price so I grabbed a few extra last week!
Boots Essentials Cucumber 3 Minute Clay Mask : I've raved about this alot, I even did a whole post on it here. For only £1.50 this stuff is a steal! Great for all skin types and it's fab for giving yourself a nice weekly facial, smells nice and is super gentle.
Coconut Oil : This is one of the those miracle products that everyone beauty lover must own. This stuff is amazing for dry skin and even cooking but my favourite thing to do is cover my hair root to tip and leave on for at least 8 hours! Leaves my hair feeling healthy, soft and smelling amazing! A pot like this lasts ages and it's only £2.29.
Montange Jeunesse Face Mask Sachets : ANY of these beauts are in my top beauty buys for under £3! Being only £1 each these are a fantastic cheap treat that I have become addicted too! There are so many to choose from so there literally is one for everyone! This coconut one is great for hydrating dry skin - so perfect for the upcoming hot summer months!
Lastly we've got a few make-up bargains!
Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil : I have used this pencil for years and it has seen my through thick and thin (and yes I am being literal there haha!), I can't tell you how many of these I've got through over the years, I use this everyday! Only £2.99!
Collection Bronze Glow Mosiac Powder : This bronzer is fairly new in my make-up collection but that doesn't make it any less of a bargain! Perfect for summer! £2.99!
Make-Up Revolution Vivid Baked Highlighter : This brand is a bargain brand in itself! This is my favourite product I have tried from MUR so far - I even did a whole post on it - here. For only £3 this is the perfect finishing touch to a lovely glowing full-face!
MUA One Direction Lipstick : This is golden oldie (from last year....), I love these lipsticks - they are great quality and gorgeous colours and for £3 you can't go wrong really!

Boots Half Price Sale Haul Part 3

Here it is - the last installment of my Boots sale haul! You can catch up with Part 1 here and Part 2 here.
I've been loving all your comments and also loving the amount of you that say you are heading to Boots - there are so so many bargains to get!


 One Direction Our Moment 50ml Gift Set
WAS £28.50 NOW £14.25
First up... sorry about the horrific photo - majorly bad lighting here, I've been trying to fit in photo-taking before I go to work in the mornings - nightmare!
I have been spraying this on myself where I work for months and months - don't judge me but I just love the scent! I like 1D, not a huge crazy directioner but yes I do I like them (who doesn't?!)! But I do have to say I did buy this set due to the scent and not because it is by 1D! It is a sweet smell - my favourite kind, comes in a gorgeous bottle and the 50ml bottle sold separately is worth approx £28 - so why would I not want the whole set for half that price?! 

Soap & Glory I'm Your Manicure Set
WAS £14 NOW £7
Yup it is once again ANOTHER Soap & Glory product - I like them okay! This is a gorgeous manicure set ... we all know how much I love having my nails done and looking girly!
or just £7 you receive a full-sized Hand Food hand cream (worth £5 alone!), the Scrub + Happiness dry hand smoothing scrub (something I have never seen before so am super excited to try out!), a gorgeous baby pink polish called Pink Soda, a pair of pink moisture gloves to give your hands a fab pick me up, a buff and shine nail file and an orange stick! Amazing hands here I come!


Joules Fantastic Bath Fizzes

WAS £6 NOW £3
First up, how cute is this packaging! Joules stuff always looks so cute! I tried this brand for the first time earlier this year and fell in love so when I saw how cheap these were I had to invest. I don't have a Lush near where I live so bath bombs and fizzes aren't something I buy alot so these are an exciting treat I can't wait to use!

Fearne Eye Collection
WAS £12 NOW £6
I couldn't buy the lip kit and not the eyes... that would just be rude! Right? I love Fearne's stuff and these colours looked to pretty to resist! I love soft eye crayons like these, especially to line the eyes - they look gorgeous! You also get an eyeliner with the it - so 5 items for £6!

Boots Extracts Cranberry Collection
WAS £10 NOW £5
Once I'd bought one (Cocoa Butter) I couldn't just stick to the one. The saving on these sets are so great that I thought I might aswell just invest in a year or two's worth of body wash, scrubs and butters! These smell fab and love it when all three match! Lovely Jubley!

So there we have it my haul (in 3 parts) is done! Have you guys been rocking the Boots sale aswell? I'm keeping my eyes peeled for when everything goes 75% off aswell - might be able to bag an even bigger bargain!

MUA 1D Lipstick : Rock Me - Louis

Okay... don't judge me. But yes it is true - I have bought one of the One Direction Kiss You lipsticks from MUA! 
I saw these a while ago and was actually really impressed when I first had a look, although I have to say I was definitely the oldest person there looking through the stand and I may have had a few looks of some tweens haha!
But for me it's not about the band, it's about the make-up!
Now I do like myself a bit of 1D (Zayn to be precise), I can't say I am a huge fan girl - but I do like them and their music!
So (like most of you aswell I bet) I wanted to have a look at this make-up collection everyone had be raving about! I know I'm a little late on uploading this post  as the Kiss You lipsticks came out months ago but I've been umming and arring about getting it for so long! (Although I have no idea why as they are a bargain!)
This shade is called "Rock Me" and it is the Louis shade!
I really liked all of the colours but thought I'd just pick up 1 to start off with. This is a gorgeous baby lavendar pink colour, such a pretty and original shade!
I have to say I love the packaging and the fact the lipstick is embossed with "1D" and " x and o's" it looks so cool and makes it look alot more expensive than it is, I'm impressed boys!
It is really soft and moisturising and once you have it on it stays on really well - although I was sad to use it for the first time and say goodbye to that cool 1D logo on the top!
The only thing I'd say is that it does need a few coats to get a good opaque colour.
This is perfect for both a casual day-to-day look and for a night out with a full face of make-up - I love it!
For only £3 I highly recommended these lipsticks - go check out the rest of the collection girls and boys, the other 4 are a total range of shades so there is something to please everyone!

Have you tried any of the MUA 1D Kiss You lipsticks?
