The 10 cheap finds
WHERE WE WOULD NOT WANT AND CAN'T DO WITHOUT
As a beauty editor, I do receive some nice and fun things sent to me, and so it often fills that toiletry bag automatically. Doesn't mean I never step into a store to raid the beauty department , because sometimes I run out of deodorant or can't get the last bit out of the primer. Okay, and if a flyer with the best buys lands in my mailbox, I'm also up for that. Along with all the other editors, because that's how Liesbeth doesn't want to use any other mascara than Maybelline's, and our Elke, the most beautiful translator in the world, simply colors her lips with HEMA lipstick. We've lined them up for you. The ten you can't do without and certainly don't want to. BAMBI EYES.
Your eyes won't get bigger, you know. Really, the most beautiful lashes and pitch black. It's truly the tool of the makeup artists. You wouldn't say, right?
Colossal Volume Express Smokey Eyes mascara, €10.99
COLOR
Our Elke (the translator) was walking around last week with the most beautiful color on her lips. Bright orange. So I was frantically searching in the beauty cabinet for a luxury look-alike to impress, only to find out hers was from HEMA. Well, here it is.
Longer lasting lipstick €3.50, Hema.
THE BASE
An essential before you head out to a party with lots of light; a primer. You don't want to spend too much money on it, because it seems like you can't see it, but it really does a lot for you. But okay, those two things come together in this primer.
Primer, €4.59, Catrice.
DO THE BROW
Because a good eyebrow is the foundation of your face. Now you might say that the base costs a lot of money, but for less than four euros, you can get it.
Eyebrow gel, €3.75, Hema.
NICE VOLUMINOUS
This mascara not only gives you beautiful black lashes but also a lot of volume. The special brush provides the extra boost, so if you want to flirt in the evening, use this.
Colossal Go Extreme Volume mascara, €9.80.
FRESH SCENT
The deodorant that smells the best, leaves no marks, and is nice and mini, but you can use it for hours, I mean days, I mean weeks.
Deodorant spray, €2.60, Dove.
POWDER BOX
No brush, no beautiful makeup.
Large powder brush, €3.99, Etos.
NICE NAIL POLISH
Look, for trendy colors you have to go to Chanel and Dior, but for the best brush, you can just step into HEMA. A nail polish that you can apply in one swipe, without your cuticles getting a color on them right away.
SPRAY & GO.
So I always really hate applying body lotion, after which you first have to blow-dry your hair, then do your makeup, and then you can finally have a nice breakfast before you can put on a nice outfit. This one is just a spray, and you can immediately put on your pants.
Spray to go, €5.12, Vaseline.
DROP OF DRYNESS
Painting your nails? They dry within a minute thanks to this miracle drop.
Express dry drops, €1, Essence.
