Finding high-quality beauty products that don’t break the bank is the dream for any beauty enthusiast. So, we’ve done the hard work for you and curated a list of budget beauty products, each costing less than R300. These affordable gems prove that you don’t need to spend a fortune to achieve a radiant and polished look. Herewith the best bargain beauty plugs:
Pixi Glow Tonic
We love an uncomplicated skincare product that works quickly and effectively. Pixi’s Glow Tonic has achieved cult-beauty-product status through the likes of beauty editors and content creators across the globe. For best results, dab a cotton pad with the solution and swipe it onto freshly cleansed skin. It eliminates dirt from pores and excess oil, while gently exfoliating. How’s that for multitasking? Regular use of the toner will result in a glowing complexion.
Essence Baby Got Bronze Bronzing Stick 10
This delicious little bronzer has a cream formula that feels like butter once applied to the skin. It’s compact and fits easily into your handbag (in case of any touch-ups). Blending is a breeze too and the product can be used all year round, not just during summer. Add a swipe to your cheekbones, jawline, chin and bridge of your nose to define those areas of your face.
Catrice True Skin Hydration Foundation
Foundations needn’t cost a fortune. Catrice’s True Skin Hydration Foundation ticks all the boxes of a high-end base, minus the hefty price tag. Hyaluronic acid and watermelon seed oil are the two hero ingredients, providing moisture and full coverage without weighing the skin down. A must for combination skin types due to the matte texture.
Maybelline Colossal 100% Black Mascara
Maybelline’s a must when it comes to mascara. This one packs a punch without breaking the bank by giving the lashes intense volume and length after one to two coats. The buildable, collagen-infused formula comes with an easy-to-apply wand and lasts until you take it off with make-up remover at the end of the day.
Revlon ColorStay Satin Ink Lipcolor
Longwear colour and intense nourishment with a dash of high shine, you ask? This pigmented liquid lipstick by Revlon really is *that* girl. Blackcurrant seed oil found within the formula helps keep dry-feeling lips at bay. We also love that it’s available in a variety of shades, from deep reds to wearable pinks and nudes.
Lottie London Multi-Use Face Brush
Does your make-up-brush collection seem a bit overcrowded? Try this multi-purpose face brush from Lottie London. It can be used for a variety of different products, namely powder bronzer, blusher and setting powder to sculpt and finish off your look. The bristles are firm but fluffy and allow for an easy application and blending experience. And the pastel pink is so gorgeous too!
