10 Products Under £10

Today's #SBBC is 10 products under 10 euro and as easy as it would have been to raid my own stash for this, I unfortunately don't have the time today to rummage through my Helmer in search of bargains. Instead, I've had a good look around some online shops and came up with these:


Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer, 6.49. I went through several tubes of this until I found my beloved Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer but if I was looking for a cheaper alternative, I'd definitely go back to this fella. It works well on under eye dark circles and on blemishes and let's face it, you can't really go wrong with that price point.
Seventeen Mirror Shine Lipstick, 6.89. I have this in the shade Belle and it's actually one of my favourite lip products. I wrote a full review on it HERE.
Sleek Blush in Antique, 5.49. This is the new blush from Sleek and it has my name written all over it. I love Sleek blushes- they're super pigmented and easily rival the likes of Nars any day. Plus, 5.49!!! Sure where would you be going?!


Sleek I-Divine palette in Vintage Romance, 9.99. Another one from Sleek but their eye shadow palettes are renowned for their excellent quality, colour range and again, bargainous prices- this is only 9.99 and it looks stunning. I want.
Maybelline Color 24Hr Tattoo, 7.49. I didn't really get into the whole hype of these when they first came out (I'm contrary like that) but I eventually caved and picked up the shade Permanaent Taupe. I use mine primarily as a primer for a smokey eye, which gives a lovely "smudged" look but equally they are just as good worn on their own.
Bourjois Liner Stylo Eye Liner, 8.19. This is the Bourjois pen style eye liner and for those of you as incapable of drawing a straight line with liquid or gel eyeliners as I am, this is the one for you. I've roadtested a fair few of these before (post HERE) and this came out on top.



Nails get their own section because when I think of the best products to buy under a tenner, it's generally nails that I think of first and there are some excellent options out there, including:

Topshop Nail Polish, 8-9 euro. I love these, there's an amazing range of really on-trend shades to choose from in a long lasting formula.
Barry M nail polish, 4.59. Again, cheap as chips with a really impressive colour range. If I'm ever looking for a little pick-me-up but am stoney broke, this is where I turn to.
L'Oreal Color Riche, 7.69. I have a few of these now and although the bottles are slightly smaller, I think these are also great value- the polish is a dream to apply and lasts very well too, like how you would expect a much higher end product to perform. I could've actually included Revlon polishes in here too as they are also excellent.
Models Own, 7.65. I had a not altogether happy experience with a couple of these before (HERE) but otherwise I love these guys- they generally tend to release very cool brights or pretty pastels that catch my eye the most and sometimes these can be found on offer in Boots, making them even more pocket-friendly.

Would any of these make your top 10 under ten? What's your own personal favourite bargain?

  3. Catrice & Sleek get a firm thumbs up from me too, I must pick up another Sleek blush. I never think of looking at Seventeen for lipsticks, but I just read your review of that one and it looks absolutely stunning!
