    After spending all of our pennies on presents for our loved ones, at this time of the year there’s not usually a whole lot left with which to indulge in our favourite pleasures of the beauty kind.

    But before you even start thinking about skimping on a scrub just because your purse strings have been pulled, read up on our 10 best beauty buys that’ll provide many a thrifty thrill and won’t break the bank.

    essence Forget it! 3 in 1 Concealer

    ”I was out and about the other day when I happened to catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror - and noticed a HUGE pimple that had suddenly appeared. Nightmare! I needed to hide it, fast, but didn't want to spend a lot of money on a concealor when I already had quite a few at home. I'd heard about this product and decided, for less than $5, it was worth the quick purchase. And what a win it was! Not only did it cover my pimple, but since then i've also used it to help disguise dark rings under my eyes, and to cover a bit of embarrassing sunburn on my nose (I used the green shade for this). Since it's so affordable i'd definitely recommend buying one and keeping it on hand in your bad for emergencies!” Rating: 4/5 – bh’sDeb

    Never have used concealers before....never will I know.

    Yohanna 19 Dec 2016 7:07 PM

    I spend only on some skincare.

    I spend most of my money on skin care now, as well as foundation. I'm starting to buy more high end eyeshadows as the budget ones aren't performing like they used to.

    I tend to spend more money on blushes and lippies since it's hard to find nice colours in drugstore brands.

    I really must check out the Essence products, look and sounds so great and at such a low price - Amazing!

    Not to sound like a snob or anything, but ive noticed that with some budget items, i only buy them at the time because they are cheap but when i end up taking them home, they dont work for me or are not suiatble to my skin type. Just be careful ladies and buy what suits you and you will use, otherwise you;re just spending more money on useless things that take up storage space in your make up bag :p xx

    blackmagic 9 Feb 2011 12:07 PM

    Where do you buy this brand? I have never seen it around!!

    Dzem 3 Feb 2011 1:59 PM

    Its worth a try for $5

    Diishere 2 Feb 2011 8:07 PM

    Wow, that's an awesome buy, where can you get it from I really need one of these, all other brands are way too overpriced, and most other concealers or correctors don't come in these shades.

    I WANT ONE!!!!! TOTAL BARGAIN.

    Brookealison 27 Jan 2011 11:17 PM

    Sounds great, will definitley keep an eye out for this.

    Morena11 26 Jan 2011 3:37 AM

    The most expensive products I buy are moisturizer and perfume! Love to nurture my skin with the best and love to smell divine!

    Mxb 25 Jan 2011 4:43 AM

    Under $5! Definately worth a try. All my concealers tend to get cakey by early afternoon. Hope this one might stay the distance.

    I spend a ton on skincare as there is nothing like clean skin.Then comes foundation, at my age this is rather important and next is mascara. .the cheapies (and I've tried them all) just don't do it for me. A tip when buying any make-up - talk to a professional and if possible, someone around you own age. They know your concerns because they too have them. There are few perfect complexions in this world.

    Skincare is where I spend more as I want it to stay in great shape for as long as possible. Can't wait for these Essence items be available in more places.

    Whiteswan99 21 Jan 2011 11:34 AM

    We all love a good effective product under $5!!!

    Emilyvintage 20 Jan 2011 12:09 PM

    Angel140194 19 Jan 2011 11:07 PM

    Sounds great. I tend to over spend on lipglosses as I buy even though I have heaps

    Cynthia65 19 Jan 2011 12:16 PM

    Mandydalgleish 19 Jan 2011 9:44 AM
