Best Value for Money

    Here we can share our experience of geeting good quality products (clothes, cosmetics etc) for very little money.

    My latest discovery:

    Essentials from Boots; make-up remover and toner each for 2€. Fragrance free (blue) or cucumber (green) very gentle for my sensitive skin and great value for money :). Before I was using quite expensive products and I didn't find them better at all.

    Boots Coconut and Almond shampoo/conditioner/leave in conditioner/treatment are all amazing. My hair is in much better condition since I've started using them. And at less than €2 each (plus there are normally offers on too) you can't go wrong! Even my hairdresser can't get over the difference in my hair.

    Tesco's coco butter body moisturising cream.

    Its about E2.99 and its actually the best Ive ever used - beating dermologica, clarins, e45, etc. I have really dry skin on my elbows etc, but I noticed a difference straight away. And it lasts ages.

    Boots Oil Of Evening Primrose Moisturising Crème Bath, its only around €1.50, but its really nice, and leaves your skin really soft and moisturised. I have sensitive skin and it never causes a bad reaction. I would actually prefer it over more expensive brands. Long baths FTW :)

    After trying millions of mascaras i can now swear by this one. Lash Mania by Essence..and its only €2.99. Gives great coverage and volume-highly recommended.

    Yess ^^ I have that mascara too its brilliant! I also have the one in the orange tube, Maximum Definition and it is really good :)

    The little nailpolishes are brilliant too, and they have tons of colours. I can't stop myself from getting a new one when I'm in the chemist. I used be addicted to Mavalas nailpolish, but now its the essence nailpolishes :)

    I got bronzing pearls in Aldi recently and they're brilliant I think they were 2.99 or 3.99 they give a lovely natural glow on brow bones etc.. The brand is Suhada.. oh and their concealer pens ( Like the Touch Eclat ) is brilliant too and very reasonable :)

    The Aldi concealer... is it only in one colour? I went into a couple of Aldi's and both of them only had the one colour

    I +1 the Aldi concealer. I have used YSL Touche Eclat religiously for 4 years and only used my mam's Aldi one when I had run out. I found the consistency much better and easier to apply.

    Its slightly creamier than the YSL and spreads easier. So I have stopped spending €30 on YSL and switched to the Aldi equivalent for €4.59. Bargain!! :D:D:D
