I'm starting to really love Vaseline for churning out great products that work at affordable prices. The cocoa butter range all cost under £5 but perform as well (if not better than) other pricier products.
Even the packaging looks really good. A deep luxurious looking copper-bronze shade that initially makes you think of self-tanners (but they're not). Read on for reviews and prices of the oil gel, lotion and body butter.
Boots have currently got a 'save up to 50%' offer on all the big-name gradual tan products, which is great news considering the changeable weather at the moment. I know I can't be bothered to fake tan if I know I'm going to be in jeans or tights all the time, but topping up with these kind of products on a daily basis not only keeps your skin soft but means you're ready to get your legs out when the sun shines! Johnsons Holiday Skin is now £3.49, Dove Summer Glow is £3.49, L'Oreal NutriSummer Tone Up is £3.99 and Garnier Summer Body is £3.15.
The magazines are chock full of festival fashion and festival beauty pieces at the moment, as we run up to this weekend's Glastonbury. But the problem is, how many of us really want fake tan, expensive cleanser and mineral foundation when we're lolling around in a muddy field? My festival beauty regime doesn't go much further than SPF35 and lip balm. So in the name of good old reality, here's Kiss and Makeup's real festival beauty must-haves!
We all know there's nothing more exciting than finding out what other people use, so here at Kiss and Makeup we did a quick poll round the office to see what everyone's favourite beauty products were! We didn't want to do one of those magazine listing where they tout their advertisers products, so we bring you the good honest lowdown on peoples best beauty buys- the kinda thing you make sure you never run out of on your bathroom shelf. Some famous ones are in there, as well as a couple of unexpected ones!
Considering the cold outside, it's no wonder my lip balms are my new best friend, providing a much more moisturising finish than gloss, and most of them are delightfully scented to boot. I'm currently working my way through a variety of yummy tasting Smackers and would like to add these tea flavoured balms to my collection. They're made out of natural ingredients and mimic the flavours found in your favourite fruit teas, from Orange bergamot, also known as Earl Grey with its citrus taste, to Ginger Peach, which is a mixture of fresh, juicy peach blended with intoxicating ginger . There's even Spiced Chai for those with more exotic tastes, which blends spiced cardamom, cinnamon and vanilla into a creamy formulation. They retail at £2.99 from Glow Girl, but you better hurry as some flavours are already sold out!
I love a new eye shadow or mascara as much as the next beauty addict, but I do have to admit to being a bit of a Scrooge when it comes to spending money, so I'm always looking for ways to get my cosmetics fix that little bit cheaper. Here's five ways to get your beauty booty for a bargain...
1. Discount outlets - I'm talking about those big shopping villages - Clarks being my nearest, who often have a few beauty stores in their midst. I've picked up Body Shop make up for 50p and toiletries for as little as 10p.
2. Airports - If you have a designer item that you spend big on, it could be worth picking it up at the airport. Check prices against internet stockists before you go to see where you get the biggest saving....
