The best budget beauty buys

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation

If you’re looking for a failsafe foundation, the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation will give you a healthy glow and flawless complexion while still hydrating and nourishing your skin. A budget-friendly alternative to Estée Lauder’s Double Wear foundation which was voted the UK’s favourite foundation (oh, and also costs the best part of £30), it offers medium to high coverage, a radiant, dewy finish and amazing staying power. It also contains a number of skin-loving ingredients, such as apricot, melon and apple to protect and repair the skin. So hold onto your pennies and feel very smug indeed as you pay a third of the price for an equally amazing product.
