10 Beauty Buys Under £10 That Are Actually Worth It
Elvive Extraordinary Oil Hair Oiling Mask
£8 | L’Oréal Paris
Coconut, camellia and jojoba oil come together in this buttery mask to calm frizz and make hair more manageable and easier to style. Recommended to us by several industry stylists, it works for all hair types and also has the added benefits of boosting shine and brightening colour.

Signature Lip Pencil
£8 | Morphe
These brilliant, creamy pencils come in a vast array of shades. Soft and blendable, they sculpt and define, and work nicely with a gloss or a balm. There are plenty to choose from but you’ll find the majority go well with almost any pinky-nude lip colour.

Ceramic Body Gua Sha
£10 | Boots
There are endless gua sha tools on the market but we like this large comb-style one from Boots, which was designed with the body in mind. Created with a curved handle for easy grip, the other side has small prongs, like a comb, so you can get to work gliding it over your skin to reduce puffiness and improve circulation. Use long or short strokes – but never a vigorous back-and-forth motion.

Exfoliating Body Scrub
£6 (was £9) | MONDAY Haircare
Good body scrubs don’t need to cost the earth. We’ve been impressed by this one from MONDAY, which is a real skin-softening treat. Heavy-duty but not abrasive, it has a gritty texture that dissolves into an oil, so dead skin cells are removed but you’re still left with a hydrated, comfortable complexion. We recommend applying it to dry skin, five minutes before you go in the shower or bath to give the ingredients and exfoliators time to work.

Black Rice Moisture Unscented Cleansing Oil
£6.90 | HARUHARU WONDER
This cleansing oil is so gentle and somehow, never too suffocating, despite its thicker texture. It removes everything – even stubborn, waterproof formulas – but does so gently, maintaining the skin’s hydration and suppleness. You only need a pump or two to get a thorough cleanse. It leaves skin with a soft, dewy glow too.

Barrier Support Ceramide Moisturiser
£6 | Boots Ingredients
If your skin wants some simple, fuss-free comfort, try this barrier-repair cream from Boots. Consistently receiving five-star reviews, it’s gentle, gets the job done and coats skin in moisture, thanks to added ceramides, shea butter and hyaluronic acid. It’s quite thick at first – a little goes a long way – but as you massage it in, you’ll find it goes milky and smooth, giving your skin a supple, soft bounce.

Incredi-Curl Mascara
£9 | E.L.F. Cosmetics
For those looking for a good affordable mascara, this is one to beat. We love the curved wand and the densely packed bristles hug each lash – even the little sparse ones at the inner and outer corners. It offers great separation, holds a curl and doesn't clump. Just a few coats is all you need.

Smoothing Lip Blush
£9 | Versed
Created to give an ‘airbrushed’ effect, we love these new lip blushes from Versed. Full of skin-softening vitamin E and shea butter, they keep dryness at bay, despite looking more matte when they dry down. Expect a just-bitten look, with five suits-all shades – ‘Neutral Pink’ is our go-to for daytime while ‘Spice’ looks great against darker skin tones.

Caffeine 3% + Escin 1% Face Serum
£8.30 | The Ordinary
The Ordinary has done it again with this lightweight but effective serum. Full of caffeine and escin – an ingredient proven to improve tone and texture – it’s primarily been designed to combat the signs of tiredness but it does so much more. Just a little post-cleanse alleviates the feeling of dryness and it absorbs quickly with zero stickiness, so you can layer anything else after it in your routine. We’ve used it for a few weeks and have noticed skin looks fresher, brighter and more even in tone.

Pack Of 6 Express Facial Sheet Masks
£9 | Poco Beauty
Made from compostable materials, these eco-friendly sheet masks hold an impressive amount of moisture, with any excess sinking in easily with a little massage. Afterwards, skin feels plump, smooth and hydrated – ideal for flights or after being in the aircon all day. Keep them in the fridge to supercharge the benefits.
