Keep the Glam and Save the Pennies :D

So this is my view on good quality make up at student prices! Now we all know what its like when you're meant to be going on a night out but you've ran out of make up, whether its completely empty or just not got the right colours you want more, but you can't afford it, I'm going to list some of my lifesaver products!


1. MUA (Makeup Academy)
These products can be found in your local Superdrug and they are literally £1 each! On many occasions i've checked my facebook only to see i've got some form of Fancy Dress party and i've forgotten to plan in advance! i've run down to my local Superdrug and stocked up on various products and my looks have always been a success! They've got a wide range of products and I will be uploading the video once my youtube account stops messing me about.


2. Barry M
WOWOWOW! I love Barry M, I had a fancy dress party and I thought i'd go for a challenge, I literally bought the products on the day to do this and it turned out brilliantly, this was a while ago but everyone complimented me and were shocked at the effort I had gone to, this was probably the BEST fancy dress i've done.

Here is a picture of my friend Catherine as Tigger and me as an Avatar, the pigmentation on Barry M products is insane! I didn't have anything on underneath the products and it gave me a really rich dark colour (flash is a bit funny on this) I would definitely do this look again and might do a tutorial for this look!

Barry M is also brilliant for nail varnish, the colours are very bright and I am loving their cracked black nail varnish, so simple to use and very effective for a look thats salon quality. They do it in colours other than pink but impo black is the best.


3. Now I know not everyone is the same, but I can't live without false lashes, I think they're amazing and really give your eyes a sexy boost! Now i've tried a lot of ranges, MAC - they last a while, but very expensive and sometimes just don't sit right (£7-£10)


Girls Aloud - Nicola which are my personal favourite, these are very classic and look very natural perfect for people who don't want people knowing about their eyelash extensions! (£5.15)


As superdrug do get in "designer" items sometimes you'll find some labeled eyelashes at discount prices, so if you are in need have a look at their range pop in and there is loads to chose from! randing from £1.99!


Now I personally bought a set of 10 false eyelashes (20 single lashes) for £2.99 of ebay! These lashes are really nice for day to day if you just want that extra boost and you get so many for your money! I say give ebay a chance because you will be delighted with the results! Although it is cheap you will have to bare in mind P&P order atleast a week in advance prior to your nights out!


4. Another favourite of mine is "Sleek" they are quite generously priced items! £3.99 for a lipstick or £5.99 for 2? They must be mad, but we wont argue! I personally think the Sleek Palettes are the best for value as you get 12 eyeshadows of different textures for £6.49 thats just over 50p for each colour! Now i'm not going to lie and say i've tried all colours but the lipsticks and the eye pallets are top notch and I use them daily :)


I hope this helps people to find cheaper products for better value for money!
