Top 10 Under £10

These are my top 10 products which are all under £10...

Batiste Dry Shampoo (£2.99 Boots)

This is my favourite of the bunch of dry shampoos available, because it’s cheap at £2.99 and it does a good job at reviving my hair that needs washing. The scent I like is blush, just because I quite like that floral smell.

American Cream Conditioner (£8.95/250g Lush)

I mentioned this product in a recent Lush haul, so if you would like a longer review on this click here. I really like the scent of this conditioner, I also like Lush products because they don’t contain all the nasties that other beauty products contain.  However, I do feel like I have to use a lot of this conditioner to feel the benefit, but the pros for me (e.g. the scent) out weigh the cons. 

17 Miracle Matte Face Powder (£5.49 Boots)

I like this powder as I it keeps my face matte most of the day, not all of the day but I’m quite used to that. I usually have to powder my face once or twice throughout the day. I also like the fact it is an inexpensive product which lasts a long time.

Maybelline Colour Tattoo (£4.99 Boots)

I have two shades in this the pomegranate one and this one which is my favourite; it is the colour ‘on and on bronze’. I usually put this on and then apply a bronze eyeshadow over the top. It keeps my eyeshadow on a lot longer without creasing and really makes the colour pop. I’m nearly all out of this so I will have to buy another very soon!

Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner 24hr in Black (£7.99 Boots)

I have had this for well over a year and I have still got lots of product left in the jar which hasn't dried up at all. I hear people talk about gel eyeliners and the fact they dry up, but this isn’t something I’ve experienced with this eyeliner, which is great. I use this with a Bobbi Brown eyeliner brush which I wet beforehand (to make the hair strands stick together giving a more precise line).

MUA Trio Pallette in Innocence (£2.50 Superdrug)

This is an eyeshadow I use when I want to do a quick eyeshadow routine. I use the lightest shade on the inner corner of my eye and on my brow bone, the bronze shade all over my lid, and the darkest colour in my crease. I was so impressed when I got this as it was only £2.50, but the pigmentation is brilliant and the colours look so pretty, especially the darkest shade which kind of has a two tone effect.

ELF Powder Brush (£3.75 eyelipsface.co.uk) 

This is just a good brush to apply foundation, face powder or bronzer. The brush is super soft, it’s just a good all-rounder face brush.

Natural Collection Lipstick in Cherry Red (£1.99 Boots)

The colour pay off of this lipstick is excellent considering it is only £1.99, it’s a deep red colour that is perfect for Autumn. The packaging is quite cheap but I couldn’t complain for the price and the product itself is very good.

Collection Concealer in Fair 1 (£3.99 Boots)

I did a whole blog post on my favourite concealers and this was one of them. Its a really good concealer for under the eyes, as it isn’t thick so it won’t crease but it covers my under eye circles. I have repurchased this for about a year now, really good concealer. Click here to read my full review.

Maybelline Rocket Volume Mascara in Black Waterproof (£7.99 Boots)

I have tried loads of mascaras in my make up wearing years and I always think Maybelline do the best. So when I seen this one I thought I’d give it a go. I like the waterproof as it keeps my eyelashes curled all day. I will be doing a post on my mascara routine soon, as I think I have found a good routine finally!

September Favourites

These are the products I have been using throughout September. Hope you enjoy!

Beauty:

The first two thing are two products from the Loreal's Skin Perfection range. I like all the products but the Micellar Solution and the Correcting Serum are definitely my favourites. I did a blog post on the range, check it out here. 

I've also been using the Supersoft Repair & Care shampoo and conditioner. I like the coconut scent because it reminds me of holidays. This makes my hair so soft and I feel it detangles my hair which is something I need. This is a really nice one to try if you're on the hunt for a new shampoo and conditioner.

The next product I've been using day in day out is an eyelid primer by MUA, it's called Pro-Base Eye Primer. I recently ran out of my Urban Decay Primer Potion and I didn't want to be splashing out on another as I just couldn't afford to, so I got this instead. This works so so well, it's not as opaque as the Primer potion but it keeps my eyeshadow on without creasing all day. I got this from Superdrug and will definitely be buying this again.

The last beauty favourite is a Rimmel lipstick from their Kate Moss range in the shade 12 which I've swatched below. It isn't one of their matte formulas, I have yet to try them, but just the ones with the black packaging. This is a lovely orangey red colour and I find it looks lovely with a bronze eyeshadow on the eye. I also go this from Boots (can you tell I like Boots).

Non Beauty:

My fashion items this month are this necklace, which I got from H&M, and these blue converse. I've literally been wearing this gold necklace most days in September because it goes with so much and I'm sure I'll be wearing it through Winter too.

My Converse are from Bank and they are the All Star Ox Navy. These have been great over Summer, if I didn't feel like wearing sandals I wore these instead, I wore them with maxi skirts, jeans, leggings, the lot. So yeh I really like these, I'm sure I'll be wearing them through Winter too.

I know this isn't beauty or fashion related but I just have to mention that I watched both series finale's of Dexter and Breaking Bad. I won't be giving anything away incase you haven't watched either of them yet, I'm just so sad they are both over. But I love them so they had to go in my favourites.

What are your September favourites?
