Cotton wool/pad
The most used tool in a woman’s beauty
stash, therefore always needs replenishing.
I will undoubtedly go for the cheapest most basic cotton pads I can
find. I usually go for Bodycare/Tesco
basic ones as they’re about 50-60p for 80-100 pads; failing that Boots/Superdrug
when they have offers on. At Boots, they
do have the larger sized ones that I like for removing eye makeup.
Hair Bobbles
If I had a penny for every time I lost
one.... I’d have about £20 (yes, I know, I’m hilarious)! Seriously though, I lose them like nobody’s
business. I don’t know how or why, they
just disappear! Primark is lifesaver for
this, as they sell like 50/60 for £1!!! Insane, but very helpful for me. They’re the good ones as they don’t have the
metal bar which used to get stuck to my hair etc. They always have a combination of thin and thick
bobbles again very helpful if you’re plaiting your hair. Just a no brainer, hair bobble = Primark,
awesome.
Bobby Pins/Hair Grips
These are another one of the mystery
things that I just lose in coat pockets, bags, anywhere and everywhere! So I need to have a good stock of these as
one of these days, I’m going to want to do some fancy hairstyles and won’t have
the flippin’ bobby pins! Bodycare again
is best for these, as you get like 50 for 60p, unfortunately they don’t have
Bodycare everywhere, so I had to go to Boots last time – boots points to the
rescue!
Nail Polish Remover
I don’t see the point spending too much
on nail polish removers at all. You
swipe away nail polish with it, so it’s not really staying on anywhere to give
you any benefit. Bodycare sells the
250ml bottles for around 70-80p. I did buy mine last time from Tesco, as I desperately
needed it and it was around £1.30, almost double the price. I’d imagine places like Home Bargains would
do them for lower than this too.
Flannels/Face Cloths
Last but not least, face cloths that
every girl needs every day. I use a
fresh one every day, so need to ensure I have a stack of clean ones for the
week. I bulk buy them from Primark, 3
for £1.50m, done. They do the job, makes
it easy for you to have a few extra ones, if you haven’t managed to put the washing
on that weekend. Who needs the stress of
not having a clean face cloth?!
