Everybody loves a bargain, right?
I was recently dragged in to Home Bargains and Poundworld by my 2 year old daughter who is addicted to shopping for toys 🙄
To make the shopping experience a bit more interesting for me I checked out the makeup ranges in each shop and came across some hidden gems! Here is what I picked up:
From Poundworld I got the set of individual lashes, the Miss Beauty Primer & the Miss Beauty Eyeshadow crayon. From Home Bargains I got the Makeup Brush Cleansing spray for just 99p & the Olivia Hale Cosmetic Face Brush Set for just £5.99!!
I am yet to try out the Primer from Poundworld, and the Individual Lashes are for a future giveaway. But, the Eyeshadow Crayon is absolutely gorgeous. It’s creamy, easy to blend and very pigmented for a product that is just £1!
The star of the show is definitely the Olivia Hale Brush Set. Did I mention this is a dupe for the Real Techniques Core Collection?
I am just going to put this out there…. I have fallen out of love with Real Techniques 😲 here’s why…
The first ever brush set I purchased was the RT Core Collection. I thought they were fab brushes, great quality and at a really good price. I further purchased their Starter Set which included 5 eye brushes. I became a massive fan of RT. Since those 2 collections they have gone on to release more brushes and sets. When they released their Bold Metals Collection I instantly fell in love (yes… I am a makeup brush addict/hoarder – whatever you want to call it) I saw the price… and I was so disappointed. They have recently released their Powder Bleu brushes. They are gorgeous brushes specifically made to be used with powder. Again, I saw the price and was instantly disappointed.
I love makeup, I love brushes, and I loved RT for the quality and price of their brushes. I just refuse to pay over £20 for one brush (personal preference of course), so you can imagine my absolute joy when I saw the Olivia Hale brush set in Home Bargains! And I was so shocked at the price that I went back and got another set (for a future giveaway!) £5.99 for a brush set & a travel case! I am certainly not complaining!
They feel just like the RT ones, and they are great brushes! They blend really well & feel super soft!
Have you tried any of the Olivia Hale products in Home Bargains? Another favourite of mine is the Primer!
