BEAUTY BARGAIN OF THE WEEK: Essence Long Lasting Make-up

Good Morning Dollies,

Today's Beauty bargain of the week is a foundation by affordable beauty brand 'essence'. I chose this foundation as I have been using it on and off for months now and I have to say I really like it. Most people, when it comes to foundation like to invest in a high end, quality branded product, which I also do sometimes but I always end up returning to this, usually when I am waiting for pay day :P and to be honest no one ever notices the difference.

I also tend to use it on the week days in work to avoid wasting my higher priced products from using them all day everyday.

It is dermatologically approved and is definitely long lasting. I use the color '10 soft beige'. Which is the lightest color although it is still quite dark and blends nicely with tan when teamed with a bit of bronzer. And the best part...it is only €4.49!!! BARGAIN!!!

Essence products are available from Penneys, Dunnes Stores and selected pharmacies.

BEAUTY BARGAIN OF THE WEEK: NYC Nail Polish

Hi Dolls,

This weeks 'Beauty Bargain' is NYC nail polish. In particular, this color that I picked up the other day called 'Spring Tulip'. It is a perfect color for Spring/Summer. A nice bright Coral with a pinkish under tone which gives it a bright girly appeal for the summer.
These pictures don't show the color off to it's full potential but it really is a gorgeous shade of Coral. It is also perfect at this time of year teamed with darker clothing to add a pop of color, as seen in the picture below.

I love NYC nail varnish because there is a great variety of strong colors and once you apply a base coat, two layers of the color and a top coat to finish it off (I do this with ALL nail polishes no matter what the brand) then it lasts as good as any other expensive labels.

And the best part is, the NYC nail polishes are an Amazing ONLY €1.59 in Penneys. So you can pick up one of every color for each season and it will still be cheaper than some high end brands would charge for just one single nail varnish. BARGAIN!!! :)

BEAUTY BARGAIN OF THE WEEK: Neutrogena Daily Scrub

Hiya :)

'Beauty Bargain Of The Week' is a new little section I have decided to add to SassieDoll each week. I am constantly picking up random beauty items such as hair products, skin care and make-up on a weekly basis. So from now on, I will be picking one item each week that I really like which is also affordable and I will do a little review on it.

This week I have chosen 'Neutrogena Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Daily Scrub', (wow that's a mouthful). I first ever bought this face-wash when I was in San Diego on a J1 in 2010. I needed a face-wash and was in a hurry so I grabbed this one straight off the shelf because it was cheap (and Pink) :P I began to use it every day, morning and night, and sometimes once throughout the day due to wearing sun cream all day long and I continued to do this for the duration of my 3 month stay in America.

I can honestly say that my skin was the best it has ever been. I know this would be partly due to the lovely sunshine as well but I always try new products and 3 years after first trying this product it is my fail safe face-wash that I always seem to end up returning to.
This face scrub has micro-clear technology and exfoliating micro beads to help deep clean and unclog pores. It also leaves the skin feeling really fresh and doesn't try it out (this is probably dependent on your skin type, mine is combination).
It is currently €6.69 in Boots, however I have previously bought it for less than €4 in Dunnes Stores. This is such good value as it is a great product and it last for AGES!
If you try it after reading this review then please let me know what you think of it by contacting me on facebook or e-mailing me sarah@sassiedoll.com

Enjoy,

Love SassieDoll xXx
