If you know me then you know I'm a massive bargain shopper, and will search high and low for a good deal. Not only is it clothes that I scout out for a cheaper price, but also makeup and beauty products. I really do believe that amazing products don't have to cost the earth it's just trial and error to find the ones that suit your needs.

I have stumbled across 3 beauty products that I think are definitely worth more than their price tag. All 3 products can be used multiple ways, and not just in ways that you may think. So without further a do, lets take a look at a bar of soap...

Now this is only a bar of soap, however it is my favourite bar of soap (something I never thought I would have a favourite of tbh). The brand of soap is by Pears and can be purchased pretty much anywhere that sells beauty products. I purchased mine from Boots and bought a pack of two for £1.49 or you can buy a single one here .

 So what's so fab about it and what do I use it for? Firstly and most obviously you can just use it as soap, I personally don't use bars on my body but do on my hands, and find that this one doesn't dry them out at all. Secondly, and the reason I love it so much is as a brow gel/ wax. If you haven't heard of the soap brow trend then you're really missing out if you love big, bushy brows. Now not every bar of soap will do for this as you 1000% need a transparent soap otherwise you will end up looking like you have dandruff in your eyebrows. All you do is take a spoolie and lightly wet it and rub it on the soap untill a paste is formed (don't go crazy, a little goes a long way). Then you simply brush it through your brows and they'll stay in place all day and all night. This will almost definitely be the cheapest brow gel you'll ever find! If you would like to see how I use this technique I actually have a video all about it over on my Youtube channel.

Product number 2 is one that will almost certainly save you time and money - Johnson's Baby Shampoo. Stating the obvious here you can just use it as shampoo, but, personally it isn't my favourite shampoo I've ever tried which doesn't really shock me as it is made for the heads of a 2 months old baby. This shampoo can be bought anywhere from supermarkets to Superdrug and this 300ml bottle cost me a mear £2. However what I enjoy using it for is to wash my makeup brushes. Really you should be washing your makeup brushes thoroughly atleast once a week, but who can really say they do that? Defo not me that's for sure, as it is the biggest beauty chore ever. When I can be bothered to do so this combined with a marigold washing up glove and some hot water is all you need to bring your brushes back to life. Step one apply sexy yellow glove. Step two place some soap in the palm of your hand. Step 3 taking a makeup brush dampen it in the water and then swirl it around in the palm of your hand mixing it into the shampoo. Keep doing washing and repeating untill your brushes are as clean as can be. Typically the shampoo breaks down most products pretty quickly, so hopefully it shouldn't take you too long to complete the most boring thing about beauty (process is also a lot faster if you can get your boyfriend to help too!).

Thirdly we have my absolute fave, Coconut Oil! Now if you want to, you can spend as much as you like on a pot of coconut oil as some can cost as much or even more than £30! You definitely, definitely do not need to spend this, unless it has some fairy magic thrown in, they're they are all going to do the exact same thing, but you might just have a slightly prettier pot. This particular brand i bought from Tescos for £5 and it has lasted me months even though I use it nearly everyday. My main and most loved way of using it, is as a makeup remover. I simply scoop some out and rub it onto my face as you would any balm makeup remover and then taking a cotton bud gently remove all makeup and excess oil away. Personally I have not found a better makeup remover that gets rid of mascara and liquid lipsticks as this does. 

Not only does it remove your makeup expertly, but it also helps to nourish and hydrate the skin just as well as any face cream will do. It does take a bit of getting used to when using this as a moisturiser as it is obviously very oily which some may find uncomfortable, however after a few night use your skin will feel sorter than ever!

I really hope you've found this post helpful and want to try out one of these products. If you do happen to go out and buy one do let me know what you think in the comments!
