Essence

As much as I love high end cosmetics, I cant justify using them exclusively. There are plenty of cheap alternatives on the market. It's trial and error with cheaper brands but there are some great cheapies available. Essence is a brand I've had some luck with. I use their foundation for day wear and at around a fiver a pop, it's a real winner. Yesterday I bought two of their glosses (€1.99 and €2.29) and a bronzer (€3.49) and they're great value for money. I have to say, the bronzer is more of a highlighter- it's not incredibly pigmented but it's very pretty. The pictures are shitty but ya get the idea.
