£20 Makeup Challenge

Today I'm doing the £20 Makeup Challenge because I really like watching these and I wanted to see if I could create a budget makeup look and I will say it actually was hard but I did go 16p over the budget but I couldn't make it any cheaper. 

I started over my look with the Miss Sporty Insta Glow Foundation in 003 Medium (£3.49) and it was the cheapest one I had so I kind of had to use this. I then used the most expensive product in this challenge and it is the classic Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer (£4.19) as I really like this concealer and it was the only one I had. Then I set my foundation and concealer with a Technic Translucent Powder (Could find no price online) and I really like this powder as it gives off no other shimmer and if I wanted shimmer I would use some bronzer (however this time I couldn't afford it). Lastly for face I added some blusher with the Miss Sporty Insta Glow Blusher in 004 Glowing Mauve (£2.99) for some colour and I really like this colour as it suits my skin tone.

Moving onto eyes I started with eyeshadow and I used the cheapest eyeshadow palette I could find which is the P.S. 8 Shade Day Eyeshadow Palette (£2.50) and I used the lighter colours for a base and in the inner corner and the darkest brown shade as my main colour for my eyes and it looked really natural but nice. I then moved onto my favourite part which is mascara and I used this P.S. Lash Defining Mascara (£2) as this mascara really lengthens my lashes while giving a bit of volume and it looked good with a natural eye look. Lastly for eyes I used my Collection Extreme 24 Hour Felt Tip Liner (£2.99) as I still wanted some eyeliner and I could do a small little flick with the nip on this pen.

The last thing I did was put on some lip product and I used the P.S. Love Liquid Lipstick in 07 Neon Pink (£2) and it did look really nice on the lips but I don't think it went too well with the eye look so if I was to do this again I would've used 01 Pink which is a lighter, more natural shade as this one is too dark and bright for a day look.

That was how I tried to do a whole makeup look for £20 but I did fail and the overall total came to £20.16- if I was to try this again I would most definately use a different, cheaper concealer as I think that the concealer was why I went over the budget and I know I could've got one for cheaper if I looked at Miss Sporty or maybe even Primark.

Wilko Haul | June 2016

I talk about Wilko all of the time on this blog and today I have another haul from there with a couple of random things I picked up when I was there last time such as some stationery (I need to do another stationery haul but I'm saving that for Back To School) and some beauty products.

Wilko Fruits Strawberry & Pomegranate Fragrance Explosion Body Scrub- If you're an avid reader of The Lipstick Insider you would recognise that I've had this before and I've just repurchased it. I needed a new body scrub as my Zoella one is running out so I got this one as a replacement and I really like the scent.

This was 95p

Sure Motion Sense Cool Blue Anti Antiperspirant- Obviously deodorant is an essential in life and my one was on the edge of running out so I picked up another while I was looking in the beauty section. I pick up any deodorant and the one I happened to pick up this time was by Sure.

This was also 95p

Essence All Eyes On Me Waterproof Multi-Effect Mascara- Essence is a brand which I had heard of but never knew where to get it from and I saw it in Wilko and decided to check out what they had to offer and I saw their large mascara bit which made me very happy. I decided to get this one as it's waterproof and is lengthening and volumising.

This was £2

Wilko Bath Sponge- Random I know! Usually in the shower I use a puff but I thought why I don't use a sponge for a change as sometime puffs are annoying so I picked up a basic bath sponge and it was only 20p which is a bargain.

This was only 20p

Lindt Lindor Milk Chocolate Box- Sadly these weren't for me but I picked them up as a present. Wilko had a good selection of boxed chocolates and if you need to get someone a present I would recommend go to Wilko as there was a large selection and they were cheaper than most other supermarkets.

These were £3.90

Wilko Card- Again this was a birthday card for someone but I thought I would still mention it as Wilko did have a lot of nice birthday and any occasion cards and also gift wrap and gift bags. I had already got the gift bag but if I hadn't I would've definately got it from Wilko as they had a nice selection.

This was £1.50

Wilko Neon Sticky Notes- I use sticky notes everywhere and I was running out of this size as I use this size all the time for my corkboard, which is also from Wilko, so I thought I would pick up another pack while I was in the stationery section. There's 5 colours- Pink, Orange, Green, Yellow and Orange again.

These were 85p 

Wilko Revision Cards- In another post on this blog I ranted about how I didn't like revision posters so I got another pack of revision cards as that's how I like to revise. My other ones from Tesco are really plain but these ones are cute with cute pastel colours and they come in one pack with a thing holding them together which will be really handy.

These were £1

Wilko Reminisce Storage Box With Lid- I recently re done my room and got rid of loads of stuff so I wanted to get a storage box to keep random stuff in so it's a lot neater and this one is super cute with the print on the lid. Inside I have been keeping my adult colouring book, The Amazing Book Is Not On Fire by Dan & Phil and 2 pairs of headphones.

This was £3

That was my Wilko Haul with some of my latest purchases- let me know in the comments below what other shops to do hauls on as I love hauling my recent purchases. For more follow me on Twitter (@_louisecarter_) or Instagram (@thelipstickinsider).
