Top 10 Products Under £10

Hello everyone!

I first saw this tag on Fleur's youtube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/FleurDeForce for those of you who don't know her) and I loved it so much that I thought I would share with you my favourite 10 drugstore/highstreet pruducts that are under £10. Just a little note: the products are not ranked at all by my preference, it's just a random order!)

Real Techniques Brushes ~ £9.99
These brushes by Samantha Chapman are my favourite make-up brushes to use. They are affordable (most are under or just over £10), super soft to use and work really well. My favourite is the expert face brush and I use this most days for my foundation and sometimes concealer. You can get it here at boots: http://www.boots.com/en/Real-Techniques-Expert-Face-Brush_1277695/.

L'Oreal Super Liner Perfect Slim ~ £6.99
If you are looking for the easiest way to get the cat eye look then go no further! I am in love with this eyeliner and probably the biggest fan of it too. It is a felt tip liner with a 0.4mm tip which makes it so easy to do a small, smooth line or build up to your desired thickness without making any mistakes. It also manages to stay on all day even when it is hot and you're a lil sweaty (mmm yum!) You can get it at Superdrug here, which is the cheapest place I found it: http://www.superdrug.com/loreal/loreal-superliner-perfect-slim-black-intense/invt/382152.

Rimmel 9-in-1 BB Cream ~ £6.99
This is my favourite BB cream and claims to prime, moisturise, minimize pores, conceal, cover, smooth, mattify, brighten and help to protect. I'm not convinced on all of these but it defiantly conceals brilliantly and works as a great primer. Because it is such a heavy, thick formula I only use this when I am having a particularly bad skin day or I use it instead of foundation if I'm going for a minimal make up day. It is also really good for the summer time as it has SPF 25, this combined with the great primer aspect makes it one of my summer essentials. I use the shade light which is possibly a tiny bit too dark from me and I'm not that pale (I would recommend Rimmel bring out a wider colour selection, but as it is just a BB cream you can get away with it with some blending). However if you are more tanned then go for shade medium which you can get here: http://www.boots.com/en/Rimmel-BB-Cream-9-in-1-Make-up_1281342/.

Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder ~ £6.99
Commonly known as the 'chocolate bronzer' because of how it looks and ,apparently, it's smell? this product has been raved about for sooo long and it is not hard to see why. This is my go to bronzer when I want a quick, easy look. The colour is so great it would look great on anyone, it also is very easy to build up; so if you only want a touch to contour then this is perfect but you can also build it up and make a full on bronzed look. I am also a big fan of the packaging, I don't know about you but when I open this up I just get a little excited, maybe due to fact it smells amazing (not like chocolate but still yummy). If you want more information, check it out here: http://www.boots.com/en/Bourjois-Delice-de-Poudre-Bronzing-Powder_35023/.

Maybelline Mega Plush Volum' Express Mascara ~ £7.99
When this first came out, I saw all the adverts and I wasn't too impressed if I'm honest. I thought it was just another one of Maybelline's mascaras that would just be disappointing. But as I was wondering through Boots I saw it on offer so I thought I would give it ago. This first time I used it I was very impressed, the brush is lovely to use because of the triangular-ish shape (I'll try and show below) which makes it easy to build volume. I have quite long lashes so I don't need much to lengthen them but I love loads of volume and this does the job just great! If you want one which is great for lengthening then check out the Maybelline 'The Falsies' mascara. These are the only two Maybelline mascaras which I am a fan of. I really hope Maybelline brings out a waterproof version of the Mega Plush because I would be the first to snap one up for the summer. I got mine from Boots, here: http://www.boots.com/en/Maybelline-Volum-Express-The-Mega-Plush-Mascara_1321332/.

Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Extreme Plump XL ~ £10
I had been searching for a lip plumper that actually made a difference for a while and this one is amazing! When I put this on you can actually notice the difference it makes and makes your lips seem so much fuller. It also had a lovely smell which I cannot get enough of, and I am also a big fan of the silver foil packaging of some of the Soap & Glory products. My only downside is that if I am having a sensitive skin/lip day then the tingling when you initially put it on can be a tiny bit painful, however it doesn't last long and goes pretty quickly. You can buy it here: http://www.boots.com/en/Sexy-Mother-Pucker™-XL-Lip-PlumpingGloss_1287190/

MUA Undress Me Too Eye Palette ~ £4
MUA can never disappoint in my eyes, their unbelievable prices are great for if you are just starting out with make-up and you want to investigate different colours/products and see what works for you. I really, really love their eye shadows as they are soo pigmented and last all day, so when the Undress Me Too palatte came out I couldn't wait to get it. I have been lusting over the Urban Decay Naked palette for a while now so when I heard this was a dupe I couldn't grab one fast enough. Anyone thinking about getting this palette, whya re you hesitating?! As a neutrals girl this palette could not be more perfect. It contains some mattes and a few more shimmery ones which are nice for changing it up a bit. Thisis by far my most used MUA palette (as you can see from the pictures!) MUA is only available at Superdrug and you can pick it up online here: http://www.superdrug.com/mua/mua-undress-mee-too-eye-palette/invt/635750.

Rimmel Stay Matte Long Lasting Pressed Powder ~ £3.99
It couldn't be a top 10 drugstore products without including this! It has been talked, and talked, and talked about by everyone and their mother and it really isn't hard to see why. It is just the prefect powder, it controls shine, minimises the appearance of pores and gives a natural matte finish without making you look cakey. It lasts a lot longer than other powders I have used, I would safely say it lives up to the 5 hours promised. I used shade 004-Sandstorm but if you don't want to add any more colour on top of your foundation then go for shade transparent. http://www.boots.com/en/Rimmel-Stay-Matte-Pressed-Powder_1015573/.

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer ~ £4.19
Again, this product is a real cult favourite. I am yet to meet/speak to someone who doesn't love this concealer. I use shade 2 which is Light and it is a perfect match. It covers my under-eye dark circles and helps to hide some of my redness. There is not one complaint I can make about this product, it is the prefect thickness and blends in really nicely. If I am having a really good skin day then I can get away with just concealer and this one is always my concealer of choice. I have tried sooo many drugstore concealers over and this beats them all by miles. I cannot tell you how much I love it, it is just so great for such a brilliant price! http://www.boots.com/en/Collection-2000-Lasting-Perfection-Concealer_984434/.

Rimmel 60 Second Nail Polish in #415-Instyle Coral ~ £3.69
Now that we are getting into summer and I am beginning to get a tan I have been searching for a really great coral and this one is my favourite that I have found. It is so pretty with more of a pinky tone which I love! I was already a big fan of the 60 second nail polishes because I am very, very impatient when it comes to waiting for my nails to dry so this is perfect for me. As well as this, the brush is wide so it is so easy to slap on if you are in a rush (which I seem to often be in!) There is such a wide colour selection it is really worth checking out the range, but this is deffinatly my favourite colour at the moment, and it makes a great toe colour. http://www.boots.com/en/Rimmel-60-Seconds-Nail-Polish_867420/.
