sponsors The Priceless Good Living Supplement January’s Beauty Bargains Josephine Fairley finds super-effective, tried-and-tested products that don’t come with a hefty price tag This isn’t the time of year for a splurge. In fact, if you’re anything like me, between the Christmas credit card reckoning and the January tax deadline, you will be feeling anything but flush. (Er, that’s an understatement.) But here’s the thing: nobody needs to live on beauty’s equivalent of gruel any more. In fact, I’m increasingly convinced that high street stores and beauty emporia offer products that rival (and even outperform) the pricier stuff, on many fronts. Over the past months, I’ve been making it my mission to seek out the best ‘beauty steals’ available. And could there be a better month to share my Top Ten affordable finds than this – the gloomiest, brokest month in the calendar? Here goes… MY MOOD Nail Polishes, £5 for singles, £8 for duos. This range launched in 2023, from the nail wizards at Nails.INC – which tells you all that you need to know about the quality. The polishes last astonishingly well, are ridiculously affordable, and the shade range is impressive: everything from a nail enhancing sheer, slightly pink-toned polish by the name of So Beaming that is a brilliant dupe for Dior’s Nail Glow (at one fifth of the price), through to a passable imitation of CHANEL Rouge Noir, in the form of a shade called Fly – and literally everything in between, from nudes to scarlets, shimmers to glosses. Revolution Beauty x Sali Hughes. Sali is one of the UK’s leading beauty influencers and despite being in this business myself for 30 years, I learn new stuff from watching her Instagram priceless-magazines.com 70
The Priceless Good Living Supplement sponsored by videos ALL THE TIME. The first of Sali’s brilliant skincare basics ‘dropped’ in April last year, but a couple of addon products launched in the second wave particularly impressed me. First up, Better in 5 Exfoliating Mask, £15 for 50ml, which blitzes dead skin cells with a multi-acid blend of lactic, glycolic, glucolactone and moisturising glycerine (and despite having sensitive skin, I have no issues with this at all). I also really like Ringlight Creamy Illuminating Eye Balm, £10 for 15ml, which has brightening pigments to disguise dark shadows, is lightly moisturising (think: hyaluronic acid, glycerine, shea butter), but doesn’t make your eye make-up slide off your face. True Skincare Organic Rehydrating Rosehip & Rosemary Facial Oil, £15.50 for 30ml. Last year, I worked my way through a facial oil that costs £185 for 30ml. It shall remain nameless, because I think it’s verging on criminal to spend that much on a facial oil (mine was gifted from a PR) – and really, truly no need. True Skincare is a brand every beauty bargain-hunter should sleuth out; this certified organic range began with a range of facial oils including this marvellous blend for dry skins, but has recently added some truly lovely skin creams. A skincare name that deserves to be much better known. Max Factor 2000 Calorie Pro Stylist Mascara, £10.99. As far as I’m concerned, this was my ‘Mascara of the Year’ last year, coming in at just over a tenner. The gently curved wand can be wiggled easily from root to tip to deliver the inky black formula, 71 priceless-magazines.com
