Last year I managed to pick up the second Cult Beauty Starter Kit (worth over £70) which sold out within days (see my Cult Beauty Start Kit review) and I for one was very pleased with the selection/contents of the box. 


So, when Cult Beauty dropped their latest box this morning, which is still in stock for now, I know I had to tell you about it. 

Read below for box content breakdown and if I think it's as good as the last Cult Beauty Starter Kit! 


For the longest time I've wanted to write about the best budget concealers for pale skin, because I know the struggle in finding the palest shade with good coverage and staying power - it's tricky. And then if you don't want to spend too much it's even trickier! 

So today I wanted to run through the best of the best; the concealers you can't go wrong with! With a mixed selection to cover blemishes, under-eye circles, the lowest of budgets and even a few dupe concealers. If you are in need of a new concealer or fancy trying something different then this post is for you. 



In recent years there's been a surge of love for eyeshadow palette which has essentially fazed out the need to buy single compact eyeshadows. There's without a doubt less single options around and I know I personally only ever pick up single eyeshadows when they are extra special or in pan form to add into a custom palette.

However, I've recently come across a new and improved single eyeshadow range that is not only spectacularly pigmented but costs only £1.50! They also come with the cutest seasonal shade names, such as Gingerbread, Cinnamon and Pecan.

Read below to find out where you can pick up these amazing budget eyeshadows along with some swoon-worthy swatches!


It's not often I feel the need to sit down and write an impromptu post, but as soon as I saw this amazing beauty bundle launch on Cult Beauty just today not only did I snap it up for myself but I knew I have to share it with you too! 

This post contains affiliate links. 

Whether you are into beauty boxes or not, this Cult Beauty Starter Kit is a collection of amazing products for only £30 but with a worth of over £100, plus free shipping!

Find out below all you need to know about the contents of this amazing kit and why I bought it for myself... other than it being an amazing saving, obvs! 




Today I wanted to give a shout out to all the budget products that have been serving millions of beauty lovers for the past decade. With rising product prices in general, especially with newer launches, anything with rave reviews and an affordable price point is worth trying in my eyes.

So if some of these products are new to you then I highly recommend heading to your local supermarket, Boots or Superdrug and picking them up - I can almost guarantee you will love them and they won't break the bank!




I don't know about you, but I love when I stumble across an amazing product that I wasn't expecting so much from. Be it a drugstore mascara that works better than your favourite premium one or simply discovering a new staple product to add to your makeup bag. 

Below I have a few under the radar type beauty products that are all on a budget! These are currently some of my favourite items to use over much more expensive products which definitely says something, so I really hope you find something new here!

Based in Los Angeles, Wet n Wild have been going nearly 40 years, however, it's only this month that the affordable beauty brand has finally become available to buy in the UK at both Beauty Bay and Boots!

Rivalling e.lf. on price and quality, beauty lovers on a budget are sure to be impressed, with prices ranging from £1.50 to £6.00 and featuring everything you would expect from an already established makeup brand: base makeup, eyeshadow palettes, lipsticks, highlighters and much more. There are even a few beauty dupes to be found!

So, of course, being the beauty addict I am I couldn't resist picking up a few items to share with you and most likely enable a little spend with this introduction to Wet n Wild.

Update: Wet n Wild is now available at Boots online here




When I first started Makeup Savvy (8 whole years ago!) my main focus was to share the sheer amount of beauty bargains and savings that could be found on the high street. 

But over the years there's been a shift, with high street prices rising while online retailer offering more discounts and competitive prices than ever before. 

Which is why most of my beauty purchases are now made online bar the essentials that I prefer to pick up while food shopping or when popping into the likes of Boots - although the latter often seems a costly affair. 

Some of my biggest beauty savings have been found online so in this blog post I wanted to detail them and share the cream of the crop so to speak!





Whether you're on a budget or not there's something alluring about a beauty dupe. Of course, saving money is a huge plus but when you discover something that is beyond similar to a product you have lusted over or have already loved it's like you've come across a gem that most people aren't aware of. 

From the most amazing hydrating primer dupe to a palette that will save you ££, I'm running down what in my opinion are the best beauty dupes of 2018 thus far! 





Spending on beauty when you already have a cosmetic bag full of makeup can be a luxury affair. Even a 5-minute trip into Boots to stock up on 'essentials' can be a costly these days! Which is why I personally love to seek out bargains where I can, especially when they don't scrimp on quality!

Below I have listed five of my favourite affordable beauty products that definitely don't scrimp on quality both in their formulas and packaging. And to the end of this budget-friendly post, you will find a round-up of my favourite beauty & skincare brands that seem to constantly produce high-quality products as low prices.
