About This Blog

About This Blog
I am a 40+ UK blogger and as the title of my blog suggests I love beauty and I really love bargains. I also have curly hair and am constantly on the look out for products that will tame the frizz and make my life easier. I'm also trying to lead a more sustainable lifestyle and charity shopping is one of favourite pastimes.  My blog covers these subjects and loads more like movies, travel, shopping and anything else that takes my fancy. The sky's the limit. 

I started Beauty, Bargains and Beyond in May 2013 as a way of being creative and writing about things that I love and reaching out to people who share my interests. I'm so happy that it's still going strong and I still have a passion to continue to grow my blog and communicate with all the great people out there who read blogs.

 I don't work in the beauty industry, but I do love trying out new products and seeing how they work or even if they work.  There are so many great brands out there and blogging definitely brings more of them to my attention than I could ever hope to find out about without writing this blog or reading the great blogs that I continue to discover every day.

Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

Image
I picked up the Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer because it looked like it was a dupe for the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. The Primark version costs £4.50 for 45ml and the Bobbi Brown Face Base costs £48.50 for 50ml, so there is quite a price difference.   I had always wanted to try out the Bobbi Brown product, so when I received a mini version in a gift with purchase goody bag I was really excited to try it out, but I have to say I was somewhat underwhelmed.  I have quite dry skin and the face base did not have as much slip as I was expecting, so it didn't feel smooth when I applied my foundation. For the price I was expecting to love it way more than I did. It does have a lovely lemon smell which I really enjoy, where as the Primark version doesn't really have a fragrance.  Overall, I actually preferred the Primark version as it is thicker and it made for a better base for my foundation. It also seemed to be more hydrating. I have definitely reached mor
