Hello Ladies, I thought I would share my best beauty buy with you! Well I went to KMart and stumbled across a HEATED EYELASH CURLER and wow I'm impressed it really works. Apply mascara first let it dry then lift and curl those babies and hey presto beautiful lashes that stay in place all day and all for $3 yes that's right 3 dollars.

While you’re at Kmart pick up some under eye masks. 2 sets for $3 and they’re good

    One of my cheaper beauty buys/discoveries that made a huge difference was those Swisspers cosmetic cotton buds that are pointed on one end and flat on the other. About 5 bucks for a 100. Amazing for correcting winged liner with micellar water every time I do my eye makeup I use a few.

I'm due a trip to Kmart this week - must grab one. I've been using Lilash and now have really long lashes so a heated lash curler would be perfect.... I still love the Kmart hair towels - they're $3 too - I have a couple

Love doing a Kmart haul. I did one a couple of months ago and managed to pick up some bargains. Got a couple of nail polishes, a lipstick, some soaps, beauty blender and beauty blender cover and some other bits and bobs. I always feel like I get my moneys worth when I go here. I never leave a visit without buying something. Though that's probably not a good thing.

Kmart has really upped their game in the last couple of years, good on them and lucky us.

Agreed, Kim! Plus with the emergence of cheaper brands like essence and wet & wild in farmers it’s really cheap to try something out before committing to a more expensive one if that’s your jam.

Sometimes the cheap ones are better!

I have only tried a couple of the Essence and Wet N Wild products but would like to try more of them. Where do you get Essence products from?

   Another fantastic buy was when I bought some snag free hair ties for a couple bucks at the $2 store. I previously was using these elastics that would thin out the ends of my hair and every month I neeeded to cut off a few inches. I've had the hair ties for well over a year and a half and they're still good and my hair is at it's longest.

Tabucutie the Wet'n'Wild brushes are great value and worth trying, some of their lipsticks are nice and I like their powdered highlighter. Also they have got a new luminating primer and it gives my make up a healthy looking finish.
