It's all well and good that I share the best makeup dupes around, but do I actually use them? Today I thought I would share with you my own most used makeup dupes that I have felt are worthy of staying in my makeup bag and have stopped me buying the more expensive version - yes, I often stop buying more premium products when a makeup dupe is that good!
Below you will find some of the best makeup dupes of 2019 that I have been totally sold on and absolutely recommend picking up.
Makeup gift sets make amazing gifts to give come Christmas and Birthday's but I've found I actually pick up quite a few for myself when the save in there. Of course, this happens in the Boxing Day sales but I always have my eyes peeled the rest of the time.
In the past, I've picked up some amazing value beauty gift sets along with skincare sets that have allowed me to discover more from brands I love or simply offer such a good saving I can't refuse them. Also, there are times when I'm planning on picking up a product but it's actually more worth picking up the product in a gift set for a little extra.
So this week I wanted to share with you the best value makeup gift sets for 2019. Granted there will be lots of new gift sets launched towards the end of the year in time for Christmas but you will find most of the mentioned gift sets here are either on sale or simply amazing value.
For the past few months I have been using a huge array of beauty products that have been perfect for summer. These include both high and low priced products from an interesting mousse SPF for the face to a berry flavoured lip scrub and even a roll-on eye shimmer that works amazingly well.
Blog posts like these remind me of favourites posts that I use to write many years ago. So I've excited to share with you my current summer favourites today that could be useful if you have a holiday planned or to simply used beyond the summer months. I hope you find a few new products to try out here!
Finding the right blush for fair skin can be tricky. Many a time I've tried out a new blusher purchase only to find it looks too dark, bold or harsh against my pale skin, however much I use to light hand to apply it.
However pale blushers do exist, so today I thought I'd walk you through five of my own which I believe are some of the best blushers for fair skin. From peach tones to pale pinks I have you covered!
With summer here I've been opting for long-lasting makeup products over what I would normally reach for, especially come hot days. This got me thinking to what the very best long-lasting makeup products actually are because let's face it, some products can be fading, melting off the skin or completely gone within a matter of hours after application.
Which is why knowing of good long-lasting makeup products is a good idea. From the best long-lasting primer from the drugstore to a lipstick with longevity that stays put through eating and drinking while still feeling comfortable on the lips.
Here I have the best of the best that are all worth picking up if you have oily skin, a special occasion coming up or simply want your makeup to last.
This is a paid collaboration with Coco & Eve however all thoughts and opinions are my own.
When it comes to self tan, I'll be honest, I've always been weary. With pale skin, previously used fake tan in the form of sprays, oils and even gradual lotions have always left me with streaks and visible darkening on my hands and feet; the biggest give away your tan isn't natural in my opinion!
But with a pre-existing love for Coco & Eve (you read my rave review about their fabulous hair mask here) I jumped at the chance to try their brand new Sunny Honey Bali Bronzing Foam; The world's first anti-ageing and anti-cellulite self tan with zero nasties AND the promise of no streaks and no bad smell! Oh, and it's of course cruelty-free & 100% vegan!
I don't know about you but when summer rolls around I find myself wanting every new beauty launch however much makeup I already own!
But reality says otherwise, which means if I want to add to my already bursting makeup bag I need to seek out high quality but low priced products that I'm sure I will use. Below is just that, a line up of new summer launches that I've already been loving, perfect for a guilt-free spend.
I don't know about you but I don't know much about makeup brand, CYO. I've spotted the stand in Boots several times and now and again I will see their products mentioned in magazines but with the lack of coverage online I've never really thought to try out them out.
That was until recently when I realised Boots had massively reduced all CYO products - I'm talking up to 70% off! Sadly, I don't know why this is, my guess is Boots are maybe discontinuing stocking the brand (I could be wrong!), but it's cause to celebrate - who doesn't love cheap makeup!
So today I thought I'd share with you what I picked up in the huge sale (side note: everything is only £1.00-£4.00), the best of the sale and where you can snag these bargains from!
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!

With a new season, like my wardrobe, I enjoy switching up my makeup bag. My favourite time of year to do this is Summer, I mean if there's a time to get experimental and fun with makeup then it's summer, right? So today I thought I would walk you through the makeup products from Boots I've been adding into my summer makeup routine along with a summer perfume ideal for everyday use and a nail polish I know I will be wearing all summer long!

There's no denying when it comes to all things chic we look to the French. Their
simplistic yet perfected style, makeup and hair reflects the elegant French cities and unique culture. Which is why I and I know many others love to take inspiration to create a little Parisian femininity though makeup looks, style and of course fragrance.
So today in conjunction with the exciting launch of the new Jean Paul Gaultier perfume; Scandal A Paris, which as you may have guessed has taken Parisian inspiration to create a fragrance that's sophisticated and timeless, I wanted to share how I add french touches to my own look. Plus I'm here to share an exciting giveaway for your own chance to win a bottle of the new Scandal fragrance!
Ever considered using certain products before bed so they work more efficiently? No, me neither, until I heard that you should apply dry shampoo before going to bed to wake up with grease-free locks come the morning. It makes sense!
But there are more products that work in a similar way, getting to work as you sleep so their job is done on rising, working even better than you had hoped and saving time in the morning. Genius!
Occasional hot days and week-long heat waves are on the horizon and with those kinds of days, I feel different products are necessary. From staple facial high SPF sunscreens to refreshing mists to hydrate throughout the day and of course handbag extras that will tackle midday face shine.
Whether you are new or old to Makeup Savvy I feel there are two things that you should know about me & my blog; 1. I love to save money on everything, especially beauty products 2. I love premium makeup. Of course, these don't really go hand in hand but over the years I've realised that while splurging from time to time, you can also get many a similar product from drugstore brands.
My favourite premium makeup brand of all is without a doubt Charlotte Tilbury as the shade ranges and formulas are spot on and while I do treat myself to the odd product on special occasions I also love hunting down dupes... I mean who couldn't love a Charlotte Tilbury dupe that will save you money!
So today as I'm a huge fan of Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks and own my fair share I thought I would bring you a list of the best Charlotte Tilbury lipstick dupes that will save you on average £18 per lipstick! If you can't get enough of these kinds of savings find more with my Ultimate Charlotte Tilbury Dupe List!
From dreamy palettes to use all summer long (with or without a tan!) to light formulas and handbag cool-down essentials for those hot heat wave days to come. I've also thrown in a few new summer skincare launches I can't wait to try.
From opting for plastic-free packaging to taking your own reusable bag when shopping, we have all become conscious of waste and the effect it has on our world. That being said I think we could all do with being a little less wasteful when it comes to everyday products we use beyond food packaging.
From re-purposing items, and restoring them where possible to clever ways to extend the shelf-life of products! So I thought I would start by sharing a few tricks and tips on how I recycle my own beauty products and try to help the zero-waste cause!
Spring is here and while we may be turning to declutter our wardrobe and generally tidying, our makeup collection can be totally overlooked and actually in dire need of a clean out. So I'm here with an easy 6-step guide on how to spring clean your makeup collection effectively without the stress.
Below, find an easy makeup expiration chart to check if all your makeup is fresh, along with some simple tips and clever hacks on how to clean dreaded makeup sponges and more! I really hope this easy guide helps you get into the spirit of cleaning out your makeup collection and shedding a few unwanted or old products.
Only 8 months ago Revolution Skincare launched, since then it’s become a rival for The Ordinary and most inexpensive skincare brands.
From serums to moisturiser the skincare sister brand to Makeup Revolution has been missing one thing - face masks.
Until now that is!
While the saying "less is more" can be applied to a lot of things, when it comes to beauty products bigger often seems better. After all, you are getting more bang for your buck, right?
But sometimes we begrudgingly buy smaller products to find out that actually a little does go a long way or that smaller can actually mean mighter. So in praise of the small beauty products that have stood tall above other more sizable products I wanted to dedicate an entire post to them.
So here are six small but mighty beauty products I highly recommend...
When a new product launches it seems like it's now only a matter of months that a dupe is released to rival it. So I thought I'd be more on the button this year and bring you the beauty dupes you need to know about.
For most of the below dupes I thankfully have the original product to compare against but when and where I haven't I will be making sure to point that out and tell you exactly why I believe it to be a good dupe!
Below are some amazing savings that I can't wait for you to know about!
