5 under £5

♥  5 skincare products for under £5

Hi there lovely reader!
I thought I'd share with you five great skincare products which are all under £5 and ideal for someone who does beauty on a budget. 
Name: Kind to skin moisturising facial wash
Price: £3.38 for 150ml
 I use this product every single day to clean my face.  It has loads of vitamins and no perfume or colour so it is great for soothing sensitive skin. 

 Name: Vaseline original petroleum jelly
Price: £1.95 
I also use this product many times a everyday, i keep one in my handbag, one in my makeup bag and one on my sink. It is ideal for moisturising lips aswell as any small areas of skin which are dry.

Name: Boots essentials facial toner
Price: £1.50 for 150ml
Having tried the Liz Earle toner for £22.99 and several other toners such as ones from the body shop, this is still my all time favourite. It is an absolute bargain and leaves my skin feeling much more refreshed than an other more expensive product. 
Name: Montagne Jenesse face mask
Price: £1.00
I always like to have one of these in my cupboard as they're simply amazing! 
There is such a variety in them, for example the fruity one pictured is specifically for moisturising but they're also cucumber ones for cleansing or clay ones for purifying. Perfect for a pamper evening!

Name: Hand food by soap and glory
Price: £2.50 for 50ml
This heavenly scented hand cream made with Shea butter, macadamia oil and marshmallow is an absolute must in my hand bag. It's super moisturising and excellent value for money. I need to repurchase mine as I used it all up, which is why the picture above is not mine.
I highly recommend the soap and glory range for yourself or as a present.

I hope you enjoyed reading this post as much as I did creating it. 
I'm going to be posting on my blog much more regularly so be sure to keep updated! Comment below if there is anything particular you would be interested in reading.

Stay beautiful,

Get the look: August

 

♥  Get the look: August


 An outfit, makeup and hair look from a typical August day! As the weather in England isn't that great the outfit would have to be worn on a warmer day or it would be perfect on a holiday. 
Shorts- Zara
Top- Topshop 
Shirt- Primark 
I love these shorts as they're so colourful and unique, I chose the red tank top with a scalloped edge to go with it because it picks up the red from the patches on the shorts. As it's not super hot I decided to put a flannel shirt over the top (perfect whatever season!) I paired it with my white high top converse from office. 

Recently I have been wearing quite light eye makeup and a bright lip. The makeup I wore on this day was-
Rimmel wake me up concealer
Rimmel stay matte powder
Rimmel natural bronzer
Benefit lust duster (as a highlight)
Seventeen sculpting pencil 
"Lilac" from flutter eye shadow palette
"Golden pink" and "Gold" from bobbi brown warm glow eye palette
Benefit roller lash mascara 
Clinique "pudgy peony" chubby stick 

In the summer I like to wear a loose plait as it's simple, quick and doesn't require heat. I prefer to do this on second day hair as it has more texture. I just part my hair in the centre then plait it, pulling bits out and placing hair grips where I feel I need it. 

The finished makeup and hair look- 

The final part to this look was my nails. 
This is a Barry M matte nail polish in the shade "Copa Cabana" which is a lovely bright colour for summer and compliments the top perfectly. My rings are from accessorise.

I hope this post inspires you to try something new this summer or step out of your usual style with bolder colours. 

Stay beautiful,
Josie xo
