Baby Products: Beauty Budgets

As you've seen on TV adverts, baby products are not only good for babies, we can use them too! So, here are a few examples of baby products I use for makeup and cleansing, and they work just as well if not better!

First up, cotton buds: they are so useful when applying makeup! Especially if you cannot afford expensive brushes, it is the number one alternative. It's cheap, you don't even need to buy a branded one and you probably have these at home already.

Johnson's Cotton Buds @Boots £1.25

What do I use them for? Well, apart from the obvious, I use buds to highlight the inner corners of my eyes to make eyes stand out a lot more; highlight my brow bone, so that the eye area looks more 3D; finally lining eyeshadow on my lower lash line. Cotton buds are a really good, convenient, hygienic and cheap alternative to a make up brush.*Thumbs up*

Johnson's Baby Powder @Boots £3.10

Baby powder is a awesome alternative to dry shampoo; it smells great, last for ages, and again so much cheaper! The only downside to using this is that when you use too much your hair does make it look ashy grey or white (worse if you have dark hair), so don't put too much! Do a bit at a time, tilt your head into the sink or bath tub and then put some of the powder in the palm of your hand and rub it into your scalp. This not only avoids a powdery bathroom floor (yes, been there done that) I also find that by tilting your head gives a better application of product into your hair and scalp. If you feel that you've put too much, just brush it out and it should all come out. Give this a try, you won't go back to the spray stuff.

Johnson's Baby Skincare Wipes @Boots 89p! (Usually £1.79)

Now, last but not least my favourite, baby wipes! I actually prefer Johnson's branded wipes than other branded baby wipes because I find them a lot stronger. And I think I'm addicted to the lovely smell of these bad boys! I use these to take off my make up every night before washing the rest off with facial wash and water. They are also good to have when you are applying eyeshadow to gently wipe away fall outs without removing all of the makeup. I find that using baby wipes is a lot more gentle, the sheets are bigger, softer and again CHEAPER than makeup removing wipes!

I hope this has given you an insight of multi-use of baby products! If you can think of anything else, please share.
