I'm a Beauty Editor, But I Love These Affordable Products Under £20

There is nothing I find quite as exciting as beauty shopping. Sure, in my job as a beauty editor, I get to test a lot. But nothing beats a day of dropping by a perfume hall or picking up a new TikTok-viral beauty product to test it for myself. (Anyone else love the thrill of the chase to pick up a sold-out product?) I could easily fill my weekend with beauty browsing.

The thing is beauty products can be expensive, especially if Wholesale Replica Bag must-have product happens to be a luxury one. Decking your whole makeup bag up can soon become pretty expensive. The good news is that there are so many affordable beauty products to be found—some are even very similar to the more expensive counterparts. While we love to treat ourselves on a luxury beauty brand now and again, it can be kinder on your wallet to find a cheaper alternative.

Having tested a lot of beauty products for my job, I know that there are some luxury beauty products that are absolutely worth the investment, especially when it comes to skincare products like serums that do a lot of heavy lifting in your routine. Others, however, I think you can save money on. Take mascaras, for instance. Many high-street mascara formulations are just as good, if not better, than the £30+ ones. So you can probably get away with spending less on your lashes.

To find out which affordable beauty products are actually worth switching to, I've compiled some of my favourite luxe beauty products with some purse-friendly alternatives. Trust me, they're really that good.
