Budget Beauty - Toners

 If your'e anything like me and continually looking for a favourite toner then this is the post for you. I've tried and tested a few different ones so you don't have to. The best toner will not only restore the skin's PH balance after cleasing but can soothe, hydrate, brighten and exfoliate.   1.    Superdrug   Vitmain E Toning Facial Miss rrp £5.00 for 150ml Works well on normal/dry skin. Enriched with soothing aloe vera it revitalises and tones the face giving a boost of moisture with each spray.  This is my second bottle! Perfect for using with and without makeup.

Enriched with aloe vera extract, known for its hydrating powers. It removes make up residue and impurities whilst toning your skin and leaving it feeling refreshed.  3.    Mario Bad...

Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation vs Revlon Colorstay Hey beauties! As you may have noticed from previous posts I am always excited to find a decent dupe. I love Estee Lauder products but they can be pricey, although of course totally worth it! But I had seen this dupe a few times and I already had a small amount of the Estee Lauder foundation at home so picked up a sample of the Revlon Colorstay and its always best to test it out! Although I'd usually review something over a week so bare with me.... This foundation retails at £31.00 and you can find it here >>>  www.esteelauder.co.uk   and comes in over twenty shades, I chose the shade 1C1 Cool Bone, this foundation promises...

However, I believe that doesn't mean you don't always get better products. 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...
