I wanted to do a post about my favourite skincare/bodycare/haircare products that come straight from the supermarket!
No need to go bankrupt, these are all super cheap, yet very good quality and I'm really excited to have discovered them!
Sometimes it's hard to keep buying high end, expensive products, but the desire to feel pampered is still there, even when we're struggling with our monthly budget...so my blog post is here to show you how can you feel & look like a million dollars, even with a small budget, using the products from your local supermarket!
Do you think that's impossible?
I'm here to prove you wrong!
Watch my "The Best Supermarket Budget Beauty Buys" video here, & see how I incorporated some of the super cheap beauty finds from my local supermarket, into my daily beauty routine!
Here are some of my favourite products, that I can recommend to all of you (some of these may be harder to get if you aren't in Italy, but I'll make sure to leave you the links to the websites of all the italian brands that I've mentioned!)

I hope this was helpful and that it made you see that you don't have to spend a lot for a good quality product!
We can be pampered and get the best, even with a small budget!
Do you have any super cheap beauty product finds that you'd like to share with me & with the rest of the readers?
I haven't done a beauty haul in a while, and now I gathered all the products that I've purchased over the past couple of months, and filmed a huuuge beauty haul!
It was almost 30min long, so I had to split it into a two parts...
If I put a 30 min long video, I'm pretty sure you would have fallen asleep half way through it :) lol
I'm really happy with all the goodies that I've purchased, some of them I'm already using in my daily routine, and some of them I'm yet to try out!
Here you can check out my beauty hauls:
part one:
BIG Beauty Haul: Garnier, L'Oreal, Bourjois, Essie, O.P.I. & more!
part two:
BIG Beauty Haul: Chanel, Estèe Lauder, La Roche- Posay, Clinique, Benefit....
"The Pretty Committee" kit by Benefit ♥ It contains: a full sizes of La bella bamba blush, Stay don't stray eyeshadow/concealer primer, Eye bright and a mini size of High beam
I bought this Bourjois kit at DM drugstore in Croatia. The blush was a freebie with a purchase of a Flower Perfection foundation. I got mine in #53 I like it, it covers well and it has got a matte finish, ideal for my oily/problem skin
Highly talked about nail polish remover by Bourjois...I had to try it out! It's more expensive than I usually like to spend on a nail polish remover, but it's worth the price! It removes your nail polish in a sec., and you don't have to waste your cotton pads :)
Garnier BB cream: This time, I picked the right shade for me: LIGHT; and this BB cream designed for oily/combo skin, is so much better for my skin, than Garnier BB cream original formula!
My new perfumes: Chanel Coco Mademoiselle & it's exact dupe (but so much more inexpensive!!!) Suddenly Madame Glamour (available at Lidl supermarkets)
Coco Mademoiselle & Suddenly Madame Glamour are practically the same perfumes!!! Both Eau de Parfum Chanel 35ml cca 60€ Madame Glamour 50ml cca 4€ (at Lidl supermarkets)
Estèe Lauder Anti-Wrinkle Trio Elizabeth Arden Visible Difference Refining Moisture Cream Complex (more suited for dry skin)
New nail polishes to add to my collection: Essie, O.P.I., Kiko, essence, Mavala, S-he stylezone, Arcobaleno.
Garnier BB cream for combination to oily skin (I already tried it out, I love it!) Natural face sponge from the Adriatic Sea (anti-bacterial, exfoliating effect...) Bourjois nail polish remover
Jojoba oil ("I Provenzali") Rose Water (I use it at night time, after removing my makeup, instead of a toner, soothes my skin)
La Roche- Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 (great for any sort of skin irritations, it helps the healing process and has got an anti-bacterial properties thanks to Zinc) La Roche- Posay travel kit, gift with my purchase :)
Yves Rocher Pur Bleuet eye make up remover & Hamamelis deodorant (but it does contain alluminum, so I don't recommend it, and I'm not very please with it. I'm using it only when I work long hours, so I need something with an anti-perspirant effect...)
So, girlies, this was my haul!
