Love Me Beauty have ditched the credit based system! They’ve collaborated with a new luxury brand, Phase Zero, to take over the world.
Phase Zero is described as rivalling some of the most expensive beauty brands, but sold to lucky members at huge discounts of up to 85%. Is it worth it? […]
Usually when we review a product on Beauty Markdown, it’s something new or trending that you might not have tried before – but today’s post is about a hairbrush that has existed in one form or another for 133 years. It’s the OG fancy hair tool, and this baby doesn’t come cheap. I’m the kind […]
If you’ve been paying attention to the beauty blogging world over the past year or so you’ll have definitely heard of Glossier by now (pronounced, somewhat pretentiously, to rhyme with dossier). It’s a beauty and skincare line from the team behind uber cool beauty site Into the Gloss. Glossier is an online store, pretty much […]
For this weekend only (so if you’re reading this after the 4th of September this offer has probably ended) Tarte are offering free shipping on ALL orders – no minimum spend. That means you can try out their cult concealer Shape Tape for a fraction of the price. Every YouTuber and blogger seems to LOVE […]
What we’ve got here are 12 items, all of which are pretty universal (by which I mean no beige foundations that are never quite the right shade for anyone). The box includes nail varnish, makeup removers, blushes, ombre shimmers, moisturisers, lip balms, and more. There’s nothing in it I wouldn’t try out. […]
My last post about testing products for Boots was so popular, I thought I’d share a couple of other beauty testing programmes I’ve recently discovered. You don’t need to be a beauty blogger like me to get free makeup and skincare in return for an honest review! It’s as simple as it sounds, companies send […]
As a beauty blogger I’m lucky to be given lots of free makeup to review on here – and I usually try out at least one thing from every box but there’s always something that is the wrong colour, or I’d never normally use. I try and give my excess products to friends and family, […]
So, we’re back at TK Maxx once again, checking out what’s on the shelves in July. We’ll include the real RRP for everything (not just the one they put on the label), so you can see where the real bargains are. Too Faced There were three shades of Too Faced Melted liquid lipsticks in my […]
Hey! Welcome to a new series of posts on Beauty Markdown – cool beauty stuff. If the name isn’t self explanatory enough, it’s just going to be a (hopefully) weekly round up of all the cool stuff other people have been doing in the world of beauty. Think of it like a weekly favourites, but […]
I recently picked up a couple of money saving beauty gadgets to review – two beauty spatulas at either end of the affordability scale. The Every Drop Beauty Spatula (£9.45) and the Primark makeup spatula (£1). I thought they’d both save me a bit of money, but I didn’t realise quite how much! I chose four different […]
Something new for you all today – a review of a brand new beauty gadget, at a bargain price of course! And yep, you read it right, Aldi has brought out their own version of the Clarisonic. We got a sneak peek: What do you get for your money? Here are the facts, the Visage […]
Left it a bit late to buy presents? It’s the last weekend before the big day, but there are still some great bargains out there, and you definitely have time to pick these up. Or ALTERNATIVELY, if you know there’s someone who hasn’t bought you a gift yet, feel free to forward this article over […]
Fake makeup is everywhere on the internet nowadays, you can’t scroll Facebook without seeing ads for £10 “Kylie lip kits” or hearing about scammers on Depop, and you’re not even safe on well known e-commerce sites like Amazon or Groupon. We’re going to make it clear here – we’re not talking about dupes (products from […]
The Tarte Rainforest of the Sea foundation has been getting rave reviews from YouTubers like Shaaaanxo since it was released back in the spring, but we haven’t been able to get this in the UK yet… UNTIL NOW. This Saturday (15th of October) QVC UK are running a Today’s Special Value (or TSV) on a makeup […]
YSL, Chanel, By Terry, MAC – when you spend £30 on a beauty product you expect it to at least be functional, this is a list of products that seriously let us down. […]
I love lipstick, and I’m always incredibly envious of people who really know what they’re doing with it. I wish I could afford to spend money investing in lipsticks that will stay all day, survive meals, and look good in the process, but that simply isn’t the case. But for us poor girls, maybe […]
Buying makeup from abroad can be a real minefield. Yes, a lot of the time the actual products are half the price they are here, but paying postage, VAT and customs charges on your order can make ordering foreign makeup prohibitively expensive. We’re going to show you how you can avoid paying out when buying […]
