Cheap Make-Up.. what to use, and where to buy it!

Hello Bloggers! 

Cheap make-up and where to find it! 
Please, do not be put off by the word cheap. I use this word lightly, you will not look cheap. 
That look can only be achieved with a delusional sense of what looks good and what doesn't! 

I love make-up, alot of my friends and often my mother say I'm obsessed. But what can I say, apart from that maybe it is infact true. My make-up obsession truly began when I was walking through the make-up department in Selfridges when I was about 15, and I suddenly realised I didn't have a clue what any of it was! There and then I made a secret vow to learn about everything make-up and one day go back to Selfridges knowing what it all was. 

I did just that when I was Nineteen. It was brilliant, strolling through and knowing what every little stick, bottle, and bright colour could do to someones face. This leads me onto another reason why I love make-up. The feeling that you get when you transform somebody! It's indescribable. 

The thing I didn't realise when I vowed to my fifteen year old self to learn all things make-up, was the price! If I were to buy a foundation and a powder from MAC that's Sixty pounds gone. And when you only get double that a week things can get a little tricky! Which led me to thinking surely other people out there must have this problem! So I decided to start 'The Average Mum'. 

First stop of the 'Cheap yet good make-up train' is;

AVON; THE BEST. If you want high-end quality make-up with a low quality price Avon is your place to be. I discovered AVON as a child when a lovely lady posted the catalogue through our front door. (they do have a website though, link below.) My mum who isn't the most feminine female was ordering make-up this seemed odd to me. But I convinced her to buy me a lipstick so I was happy! Another point about Avon is that they provide jobs to alot of stay at home mothers, with flexible hours and working from home! *All products are hypoallergenic.

Rimmel UK; first a famous London perfumer, Rimmel has adapted more and more over the last Ninety years into one of the UK's best high-street make-up brand. Their 'Wake Me Up' Range is amazing. I have everything! With great quality products starting at five pounds what's not to love! 

Collection. / Collection 2000; Their concealer is literally the most raved about concealer on the internet. Beauty bloggers and 14year old girls all over the UK can not get enough of this shit to cover them up. And at only six pounds I want me some too! Most Collection make-up is available in local supermarkets. 

I really hope you find some Bargain Beauty products from these three amazing Make-up Brands. I honestly did pick these with 'the average mums' budget in mind and I have tried and tested everything. Thank you again for reading :)

  1. Great post! I'm a Mother to a one year old. I try to do all my make up within 10 minutes or less - he does tend to get all my make up out and try to eat my brushes :P
