    Thought this might be a handy thread for all of us to give an idea what are the best budget buys in our own opinion :)

    For me i find the L'Oreal Paris Infallible Matte Foundation a good budget make up for E12.29

    Also the No7 Skin Illuminator Radiance Boosting Beauty Fluid for €15 is lovely for a bit of a glow

    The Inglot eyeliner number 77 is super think thats around €15 too.

    and the Pippa Palette is great too (maybe more so for paler skin?) €34.99

    Any more suggestions? :D

    Tbh I'm not sure if I'd consider anything less than €50 to be a budget buy, but there definitely are bargains to be had :)

    - No7 Beautifully Matte foundation, €18 - not actually very matte but the coverage is excellent.
    - NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams, ~€7.75 - very comfortable mattes for the price. I love the shade Cannes.
    - Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow, €17 - nothing beats it for stand-out brows, IMO.
    - MAC Mineralise Skinfinish in Lightscapade, €31 - a great pale skin highlighter that's not pink.
    - L'Oréal Lumi Magique concealer, ~€13 - a lovely highlighting under-eye concealer.

    L'Oreal Brow Stylist Plumper

    Rimmel Moisture Renew, Maybelline Colour Sensational, and Catrice Ultimate Colour lipsticks

    Mary-Lou Manizer highlighter powder by The Balm is one thing of my favourite products, I think my face is incomplete without it!

    I recently bought the NIOD Photography Fluid for €24. Ordered it online and it had free shipping.

    I find my skin looks a lot brighter when I mix it with my foundation, there's a lovely glow with it.

    (Bought after I saw buy now blog later raving about it :) )

    The eyeshadow palettes by Sleek are amazing value (around €10) and really good quality products. They're available in Boots, McCabes and I'm sure other pharmacies!

    Ziaja sensitive skin products- all of them are great, nothing over €6.99

    Clinique TTDOB-went back to this recently, got it on sale for €20, lovely in this cold weather

    Bioderma autoderma lip balm stick-€3.50 and BYGOF in pharmacies at the moment.

    Essence Roses eyeshadow palette-€4.99, lovely colours in this and good enough quality, much better than Sleek IMO.

    Catrice Prime time eyeshadow base €3.50 (I think) got this instead of the Urban decay one recently and while not as much staying power it's still pretty good and has nice creamy texture. In contrast the essence version was really crap and yellow looking and didn't work at all.
