Hi everyone,
There are some products that I like to
spend a little more on, such as foundation and powder, but more and more over
the last few months I have been discovering high street products that do just
as good a job for half the price. I really think high street brands have upped
their game and are making products that can really compete with higher end ones
and that provided me with the inspiration for this post. As my makeup
collection consists a lot more of the high street brands, I thought it might be
a nice idea to share my top 5 Holy Grail high street products at the moment :)
1) Rimmel
Lasting Finish 24 hour Powder - £6.99
My go to powder always used to be
Clinique Almost Powder Makeup and although I still really like it, I have
discovered that there are plenty of high street powders that I like just as
much. My favourite at the moment is the Rimmel Lasting Finish powder which does
a great job at keeping the shine at bay as well as providing light coverage.
2) L’oréal
Superliner - £6.49
I have to admit that liquid eyeliner
isn’t my favourite and I find it quite difficult to apply. However, the L’oréal
Superliner is so easy to use and allows you to obtain a really precise finish
that lasts all day without smudging or flaking off. It also gives a really
black finish that isn’t too glossy which makes it a huge winner in my books!
3) Bourjois
Shine Edition Lipstick - £7.99
I love the creamy and soft finish of
these lipsticks but despite their smooth texture they still last a decent
amount of time before you need to reapply. My favourite shade is Grenade In which is
a lovely deep berry colour and has excellent colour pay off. I also have Oh My
Doll which is a baby pink shade, but I don’t like this one as much due to it
being quite pale and more sheer. I have recently converted my mum onto these
lipsticks too and she loves how moisturising they feel.
4) Rimmel
Wake Me Up Concealer - £5.49
I think this one would be on a lot of
peoples Holy Grail list as it seems to have a bit of a cult following. I use
this concealer to brighten under my eyes rather than cover blemishes and find
that it really does make me look more awake and bright eyed. I bought it in a
shade paler than I would go for normally to get that extra brightening effect.
5) MaxFactor
FaceFinity Primer - £10.99
I have mentioned this product quite a
lot on my blog but I couldn’t write this post without including it. This is
probably the only product that I have used religiously for about a year without
being tempted to try any alternatives. For the price, it is a great product and
without it my makeup would most definitely be half way down my face by the end
of most days!
All of these products are ones which I
can’t get enough off and the added bonus is that none of them will break the
bank. Which high street products would you recommend? Have you tried any of the
ones I have mentioned?
Thanks for reading,
