Hi !
I remembered reading a thread sometimes back about low-end brands which works just as well, if not better than their high-end counterparts. I thought we should re-visit this topic especially with the CPF cuts and reduced spending budgets.
Kindly contribute good and economical brands of cosmetics and skincare products which work well for you !
For me, i like Sunkiller SPF50 in clearwater. Was using IPSA's sunblock before this and while it might be slightly lighter than Sunkiller, the hefty price-tag is a big push factor for me, especiallu i'm very generous with sunblock on my face and hands. Sunkiller works well for me and is economical! I love the price.
Next brand that i can think of is Eucerin. Thanxs to a lovely
here who inrtoduced this brand to me for my dry and itchy skin, i get to know such an effective brand. Not exactly cheap for a drugstore(price ranges from $10+ to $30) but this delivers the work. I love the Shower bath oil which never fail to calm my sensitive skin down. Next on my to-try list would be its moisturiser. It seems to be a heavy duty moisturiser but it has a slightly chemical scent which is deterring me. I love to smell foody and nice with my body moisturiser. But if on a low budget, i will get it !
A great liquid foundation that is dirt-cheap would be Jane Stay Calm foundation. I used up my Chantecaille and hate to enter that infamous store in town and tried this out when it arrives in a swap and discovered that i really love it. My combination skin type loves this and while some high-ends brands like GA oxidises badly on me, this one don't. And since it is so cheap, i got both Buffy and fair Enough and mix them together to get my perfect colour tone. I'm in
with this darling.
Any other great economical recommendations ? Let's help one another to save money !!!
