My Pinterest is full of dupes and I have tried a LOT, some are fantastic, some not so much but it's always fun trying them out. I've made a list of some of my favourite beauty budget buys I hope its of interest! L'oreal Colour Riche Eyeshadows I really like these eyeshadows. The texture is re ally soft and very pigmented. I find them to be easy to blend and are pretty long lasting with a primer I think these are a great formula and come in a great range of colours. £7.99 for quad eyeshadow/£5.99 for single Garnier Moisture Bomb Night This is a really great lightweight moisturiser and really hydrates my skin. I think its ideal for hotter weather as well so grab it while you can. £5.99 e.l.f. Studio Contouring Blus
