Beauty, Bargains and Beyond

I remember wearing claw clips in my hair when I was a teenager, so I am happy that they are having a comeback (along with scrunchies it seems). I love these Kitsch Eco-Friendly Chain Claw Clips in Neutral shades from Cult Beauty . At only £8 for 3 they are an absolute bargain and I love the beige and brown shades. They hold my curly hair perfectly, without pulling on it and they are also really useful to use when I am straightening my hair.   Leigh 💜 I purchased these products with my own money

Primark does a range of garments that look like they are dupes for Skims. They are great value for money and they can be worn under clothing or as lounge wear, they are made of a nice stretchy material (96% nylon / 4% elastane). The brown leggings were especially soft. I bought the black bra top which cost £4, the black long sleeve crop top for £5 and the leggings in the shade mocha for £5. They are all super comfy to wear and have a good amount of stretch in them. They are all machine washable and I love the fact that they have the label printed on the material rather than a label that is attached at the neck or waist. The products are all made using a minimum of 50% recycled nylon. There were other shades available and more styles available in each colour, so I will definitely be picking up some more items from this range.   Leigh 💜 I purchased these products with my own money

I am a big fan of Charlotte Tilbury makeup and one of my favourite products is Hollywood Flawless Filter in shade 3 Fair, which is a glow booster that can be used on its own or under foundation for a beautiful peachy glow. It does cost £39 for 30ml, but its worth it because its super easy to use and just enhances any makeup look. When I happened upon the Primark version, I just had to give it a try.  The  PS Flawless Glow is a radiant glow primer foundation hybrid enriched with squalene and Vitamin E.  I bought two shades - Sun Beige & Honey as I couldn't find an exact match to my  Charlotte Tilbury  shade and wasn't sure which would be the best match. It has the same large doe foot applicator and the consistency looks the same. I don't look at ingredients as I am not a scientist, so I am just comparing how the products look on the skin.
