I couldn\u2019t get within two metres of a beauty hall without buying something ridiculously expensive. In fact I once bought a pot of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cremedelamer.co.uk\/index.tmpl\">Creme De La Mer<\/a> cream for \u00a3125 &#8211; without thinking twice (yes, I was that stupid).\r\n\r\nOf course post kids it\u2019s a different story all together. Aside from being broke I wouldn\u2019t dare to walk into a beauty hall and spend over \u00a325 on anything. In a way it\u2019s been good for both my bank account and my beauty routine because my skin doesn\u2019t really look that different using bargain beauty products over luxury beauty items.\r\n\r\nSo I\u2019m loving it that so many celebs are also coming out and announcing that their beauty must-haves are actually bargain products that they can\u2019t live without. For Cheryl Cole it\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.e45.com\/ \">E45 cream<\/a>, for Kylie it\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pondsinstitute.co.uk\/ \">Pond\u2019s Cold Cream<\/a>, and now Jennifer Aniston says she can&#8217;t live without her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.neutrogenauk.co.uk\/\">Neutrogena cleansing facial bar<\/a>. If you haven&#8217;t heard of any of these, they are fantastically cheap and available in any supermarket or pharmacy.\r\n\r\nMy own beauty bargain favourite is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ocado.com\/webshop\/product\/Baby-Bottom-Butter-Waitrose\/27923011 \">Waitrose\u2019s Baby Bottom cream<\/a>. Much loved on many of the mum forums it really does work as a moisturizer especially if you have dry sensitive skin like mine. I\u2019m also a huge fan of Vaseline and <a href=\"http:\/\/uk.mycarmex.com\/ \">Carmex <\/a>both as lip balm and lip-gloss and for dry elbows and knees and hair that won\u2019t behave. Plus I also love <a href=\"http:\/\/www.johnsonsbaby.com\/johnsons-baby-lotion \">Johnston\u2019s baby lotion<\/a> as a make up remover as a post bath skin softener. Again all of the above come in at under \u00a35!\r\n\r\nAs you can see most of my beauty favourites are actually stolen from my kids\u2019 bathroom shelves but I figure if it\u2019s good for them, then it\u2019s got to be good for me. So my last tip is my\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sudocrem.co.uk\/ \">Sudocrem<\/a>. Yes, the thick white the nappy rash cream. I&#8217;ve discovered (probably after everyone else) that it&#8217;s excellent for grazes, and brilliant for PMS spots. Really &#8211; it works wonders if you slap it on a spot overnight.\r\n\r\nBut how about you? Has anyone else got any bargain beauty products they\u2019d like to share? Let me know.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Back before I had kids I was a beauty writer and beauty addict.
