BUDGET BEAUTY WEEK: THE BUDGET FOUNDATION/CONCEALER I WANT TO TRY

Hello everyone and welcome to another instalment of "budget beauty" week! As i mentioned in yesterdays post, being the complete makeup addict/collector and hoarder that i am, i am always looking at new and existing makeup and lusting after so many things. I always like to share the particular things in posts that i am lusting after, so with that in mind i thought why not switch things up and rather than just do your standard "wishlist post" i thought i would share the budget foundations/concealers i want to try. For me the most important stages of makeup is foundation and concealer, because without the perfect base there is pretty much no point and i am always looking for new contenders to overtake my love for the fit me combination by Maybelline.


If you are from the UK like i am, then you will probably know it is super difficult to get your hands on wet n wild products. That being said i have seen so many US bloggers/vloggers talk about how amazing this concealer is and how it is super similar to the maybelline fit me concealer and also the nars radiant creamy concealer, which are also two of my favourite concealers. This concealer retails for the bargain price of $3.99, which is around £3 and it is available in 6 different shades. 

Another product this time a foundation, that is currently not available in the UK (dear l'oréal please hurry up and launch already) and another product that is also talked so highly of/looks absolutely beautiful on everyone i have seen it on. I am a huge fan of l'oréal base products in general, so i am pretty sure i will be obsessed with this and even more so as i am obsessed with anything to give me a glow. This foundation retails for $12.99, which is around the £10 mark and is available in 12 different shades.

To follow up with the photo focus concealer, i also want to try the foundation from the same range. I have seen a couple of these foundations for sale on amazon but the sellers have placed them on there for such ridiculous prices, considering the foundation only retails for $5.99 so around £4.50. I have seen a lot of reviews stating that this concealer is similar in ways to the estée lauder double-wear foundation, yet a lot more comfortable to wear.

This concealer to me seems to be a similar concept and a much more affordable version of the pro longwear concealer by mac, although it seems the texture of this concealer is a little more lightweight (which is probably a bonus). This concealer retails for £8.90 in-store and online at kiko and is available in 8 different shades.  

Ok so i have tried pretty much every single maybelline foundation, but i don't think i have ever tried this particular one. I am not 100% sure whether they have recently just changed the packaging or whether they have re-formulated the foundation also, but once i figure out what shade i need i will definitely put it to the test. This foundation retails for £9.99 and is available in 12 different shades. 

Something that always comes in handy from time to time is a heavy duty concealer palette, with more of a cream like texture and i am looking to give a new one a go. I have tried a wide range of sleek products out before but never their face/base products. This concealer palette retails for £7.99 and is available in 3 different shades.

This foundation has had so many different reviews from good ones and bad ones, that being said this still makes me want to give one a try. Although the thing i am most unsure about is what shade to go for, as a selection of them look super similar and not so different but then there is the small part where people have said it does oxidize slightly. This foundation retails for £14 and is available in 24 different shades. 

Finally l'oréal re-launched their true match foundation and now they have re-launched their concealer as well, so of course i need to give this a go again. This time around they have so many more shades of a wide variety, that can be used for multiple purposes. This concealer retails for £7.99 and is available in 14 shades, which is super rare when it comes to concealers.
