As budget seems to be of upmost importance to many this festive season I’ve broken my guides into budgets. I’m calling this one “slightly spenny” because in the world of beauty (which can be eye wateringly high) I feel like these are the type of price points that are a lovely special treat but not going to bankrupt you. Of course absolutely everything has been tried and tested by myself (or some lucky family and friends) and are all from brands I adore.
