Birthday presents on a budget
It's my little mums birthday tomorrow and well not being on the wealthy side of life, I was on a mission . I had £30 in my pocket and had a plan to find 1) stuff my mother would use and 2) get as much as I can for my pennies.
My mum really isn't the easiest person to buy for she has everything she needs and well what is there to get for the women who has everything they already wants.Finally it came to me after many a hour thinking , MAKEUP ! She don't really wear alot as she's already beautiful ,still on the young mum side of life and always busy. So I got to thinking of all the product I could that worked well and required minimal effort. It was also buy one get one half price in boots so I got lots for my money and I also had no7 vouchers to use.
I used a old glossybox to save a bit of money on wrapping paper. Its like my own Homemade Glossybox
Maybelline Brow Drama Sculpting Mascara
Rimmel London Stay Blushed! - I must say this is such a good product
No7 nail polish
Rimmel stay matte powder
Bourjois healthy mix foundation
Maybelline Instant age rewind
Revlon lash potion
Soap and glory - hand maid ( come in the 3 for 2 offer on mini bottles)
mini simple moisturiser
mini toni and guy dry shampoo
Aussie 3 minute miracle conditioner (got this with my boots points )
Something a little extra
Something a little extra
My little sister then joined in and we managed to get her some of her favourite products -
So Iv never realised that boots even do makeup bags mainly because I spend most my time in the makeup counters but when I saw this I got a little excited and thought it was so lovely and was only £10 so we had to get it .
What are you favourite high street products ?
