I have a habit of frequently replacing my makeup bag for a newer, cuter one, and with this price-range it’s affordable. Wipe all contents clean when you change bags to keep your new one in tip-top shape.
Dove Summer Glow $10
I am never far away from my summer glow – it’s value for money and one of the best gradual tans on the market. Although this is only a gradual tanner, the colour pay-off is very effective, so ensure you blot dry areas like elbows, knees and feet after applying to avoid staining.

This is one of the best serums in its price bracket – amazing bang for your buck. Because retinol can be an irritant, those with sensitive skin should introduce gradually.

I like a natural, universal shade on my fingernails and this one is a great price. If your nails aren’t in the best condition, a shimmer shade helps hide any cracks or ridges.
Via Thermal Medium Round Brush $27
This brush works perfectly for taming the ends of my blunt bob. To get some wave in your hair, leave the brush in and shoot some cold air from your hairdryer onto the brush and hair – this helps to hold the curl.
