Money-saving Monday: Tip #14

Tip #14: Dupes
There are many dupes (cheaper and similar alternatives to the more expensive products) in the makeup world. Dupes for clothing and accessories also exist, often sold by Zara and Primark.
Lancôme, L'Oréal, Bobbi Brown and Maybelline are all owned by the same parent company, and often they may sell the exact same product but with different packaging and for a different price.

Primark Travel Minis Haul

Primark is usually the last place I would shop for toiletries, but whilst browsing around Primark recently I took a stroll down the cosmetics aisle, where I spotted shelves of travel minis! I decided to purchase a few to help lighten the load of my (always full to bursting) toiletry bag, ready for my holiday.

Although this isn't the most groundbreaking of posts, I had to share my excitement over the mini shaving cream! As we all know, shaving cream is impossible to transfer into a smaller, travel-sized bottle and is not only heavy, but bulky, to pack. I didn't want to go without any and cause razor burn, so this was a great find.

I also thought that the four-pack of powder puffs for just £1 was great value for money, and I will definitely be stocking up on them.

All items pictured above are available cheaply from Primark.

I hope you enjoyed this little travel-themed post in light of the peak travel season. Let us know your favourite travel and packing tips, we'd love to hear from you!

Item Of The Week: Primark Marvel Shorts

Recently, I purchased this great pair of shorts from Primark. The pattern is Marvel-inspired and features Spiderman, Captain America, the Incredible Hulk and Iron Man. The shorts currently cost just £12, and there is a similar pair featuring Ariel and Flounder from Disney’s The Little Mermaid.

This is one of my favourite pieces of clothing and I’d love to hear about any items you’re seriously loving right now (whether you own it or are admiring it from afar). We’d love you to get in touch via our social media!

Paris' Quick FOTD

I often don’t leave myself all that much time to apply makeup in the mornings so I generally don’t put on very much, and I like to experiment with how much of a makeup look I can create using as few items as possible.

I am using:

Primark eyelash curler
Soap & Glory's Thick & Fast Mascara In 'Superjet Black'
Benefit Magic Ink Eyeliner
SEVENTEEN Brow Sculpting Pencil
Revlon Colourburst Matte Balm In 'Unapologetic'

Thanks for reading, if you have any questions or requests don’t hesitate to ask us. Look out for some Summer haul posts coming soon!
