As my first Best Budget Beauty Buys went so well back in the day, I thought i would do a more up to date one. I am still a cheap affordable girl at heart, I love finding myself good products that do not break my bank account. Because I started off with affordable makeup, I will always go back to it, Its nice to treat yourself to a higher end product do not get me wrong, but will you always be able to afford it when it runs out?
There is absolutely not one thing wrong with as some people say these days as 'cheap' makeup! Once they are a legit makeup brand , they should be perfect to use.
Do not feel like you need expensive makeup to fit in, you just need to have pretty makeup and that is all.
Penny's/Primark Pigments
If you haven't got any of these, stop everything and go get some! The Penny's/Primark pigment are insane. They only cost €3. I do not know what to say about these so I'm just going to pop of pic below of a look I did with one of the pigments so you can see yourself.
Morphe Palettes
Lately Morphe are killing it with their palettes! The pigment has got so much better, they changed the packaging too which is just a little classier now in my opinion. Do not get me wrong their older palettes are great and I'm always using them but they just have really upped their game now which I much prefer, the makeup industry just keeps improving each day.
Morphe eyeshadow palettes are only around €25. With the size of the palette They are 1000% Definitely worth every penny, You will more than likely have these palettes for a lifetime.
Their face palettes and brushes are insane too, Morphe is just an overall good affordable brand to purchase from.

Collection Long Lasting Concealer
My favourite drugstore concealer. This has an outstanding coverage! and lasts all day long, It doesn't crease into any fine lines once it is set properly with some powder
I like to use this concealer to carve out my brows and now I can't use anything else since I tired it, i also prime my lids with it too. For this I use the shade lemon as it is super light so perfect for the brow bone.
Blends out like a dream and is very easy to apply. Really brightens up the eye area helps you look more awake. This concealer costs around €6.50 or less in boots.

Penny's/Primark Highlighers
Another killer makeup purchase from Penny's/Primark.
I bought one when they first came out, I'm not to sure what one but i just remember swatching it and thinking for a penny's product this was insane, when I applied to It my face I knew I needed the rest of them, The pigmentation was second to none, They do have a slight glitter in them , but very subtle. These highlights wouldn't be your everyday highlight they are more intense so full glam is needed with these. And have I mentioned they only cost €3.50.

NYX Butter Glosses
NYX lip products in general are unreal! Some of my all time favourites are from NYX , and these glosses being one of them. The packaging of them is adorable and each gloss is the colour of the shade inside which is great! Exactly what they say on the packaging 'butter' , they are so silky smooth when applied to the lips.
They tend to have a more sheer finish to them, so they are pigmented but if you apply a lipstick under these glosses, you can still see the colour of your lipstick, they don't completely cover your lips. So definitely more sheer than full coverage, but that's what I love about them. The lighter colours are the best ;) The price of these are different in each shop that stocks NYX but are around the €6-7 mark.

NYX Setting Sprays
Looking for a good affordable makeup setting spray, look no further.
Nyx have two different setting sprays, A Matte Finish & Dewy Finish. So there is one to suit you and your skin type. These setting sprays are small but v cute, they cost in and around the 8-10euro mark depending from where you purchase. I personally think these are great to have in your makeup kit, at such an affordable price they are hard to pass up, they set the makeup perfectly. Do not leave any of dots from when you spray it onto your face, doesn't squirt out either. It is a nice hydrating mist that does help your makeup last throughout the day.

Miliani Conceal & Perfect 2in1 Foundation and Concealer
This foundation was extremely hyped about once it first came out, and me being me had to purchase one just to try it out. This foundation is super full coverage, oil free and leaves a gorgeous matte to satin finish, (if you have oily skin it will be a little more satin to matte but once concealer and powder are applied it is completely matte and you are ready for the day) So perfect affordable foundation for any oily skin girls. The shade range is good but I would advise to really look into the shades before buying one and match it as close as possible. I purchased mine from Beauty Bay and it is currently €14.50.
That is all for this blog post, not to many products so I don't overwhelm you guys with my suggestions.
Thank you all for reading! I hope you enjoyed this one as much as I did writing it. Finally getting back into things now that I have a little bit more time. This is what I truly love doing sharing my love for makeup and beauty with you all.
All my love
