Beauty on a budget

Hi I didn't realise how long it was since my last post I had completely lost inspiration so I do apologise and I hope to start blogging more 

On to today's post 

Beauty On A Budget 

If you have read my last posts or been on my previous blog itsonlymexox.wordpress.com you will know I love a good bargain! In the last year I've been doing a lot of shopping online, where I live I only have 1 chemist(pharmacy) and another half hour away there's a handful more.I would normally just get cheaper drug store makeup anyway, my nearest mac counter is a good 2 and a half hours away from me and as I don't have my own transport it's difficult to get there! 

Here are a few of my favourites over the last few weeks: 

Catrice Nude Sensation eyeshadow 

Trend collection c03 Soft Coral 

This is one of my all time favourite eyeshadows and I don't think you can but it anymore so when it runs out I will need to find something else :( it's so smooth and it blends really easily it's a gorgeous soft pink colour perfect for every day wear 

I bought this at the time for €1.99 

Urban Decay Naked Basics 

Top to bottom:

Crave, faint, naked 2, w.o.s, foxy, Venus 

Now I have to say this is a fake! I don't know why people get so annoyed over fakes, personally I think it's the exact same as buying the w7 versions of Naked2 or Naked3 or any chemist or pharmacy brand of eyeshadow! I use this a lot and I've never had any issues, I bought this on buyincoins.com for €2.45 

Note: I will only buy off websites that accept PayPal I would reccomend that you do the same 

W7 The Cheek of It! Blush

Baby Pink 

I love this blush it's a gorgeous pink that blends easy enough although I do have to say you can't go heavy handed with it or you will look daft 

I bought this in cara pharmacy for €3.50 

Natural Collection cover up cream 

This is one of my go to concealers, it's so handy because it has one of those lipgloss brushes so it's easy to get around your eyes and under your eyebrows! It's quite liquidy so you only need very little you can build up coverage though. I got this in Fair in Boots chemist for €2.49 

NYC All Day Long Smooth Skin 14 hr Foundation in 737 Classic Ivory

This foundation has had mixed reviews since it came out, some people hate it some love it! I am hit and miss with it but I've been using it lately because I ran out of my favourite Rimmel Lasting foundation and I had this in my makeup drawer 

It drys really quickly so you need to be quick when your applying it, I always apply moisturiser and primer before this foundation and it stays on, I'm very pale and I find it hard to get a foundation that matches my skin perfectly and this definitely matches it 

I don't remember how much this foundation is exactly but I know it was definitely under €5 

Fairy Girl Eyebrow pencil in dark brown 

I bought this on a whim from buyincoins.com for €0.70 I needed a new pencil and I liked the look of this one it's got a slant on the top so it makes it easier to fill in your brows 

Brush set in pink and white 

This is another purchase from buyincoins.com it's fine for back up brushes, you get two smaller eyeshadow brushes, one flat eyeshadow brush, a lip liner brush, a blush brush and an eye liner brush all in a little pink wrap case for €3 cheap as chips and they don't shed 

Fluffy Brush in 217 

This looks similar to the MAC fluffy brushes so I picked it up with the other brushes from 

Buyincoins.com for €1.20 

It's great for blending shadows and for contouring down the sides of your nose 

W7 Lip Lights in Pink Glitter 

I got this in a set for Christmas with a light up mascara, It has led lights in the lid and a little mirror in the side so great of you're out and it's dark and it's actually a gorgeous colour, really shimmery I think it's about 

€1.50 on it's own to buy 

Wet and Wild Candy Crayon 

I am very bad with throwing makeup away I've literally had this hilighter for years and it's almost gone, it's such a nice bright colour I use it under my brows, down my nose, the corners of my eyes and on too of my cheek bones I love it, I'm not sure if you can still buy it but I think it cost me about €2 at the time I bought it! 

You don't have to spend a fortune on makeup the cheaper makeup is sometimes better than the dearer stuff! 

All the makeup on this post is less than €5
