“Budget” in inverted commas, obviously, because my budget picks never turn out to be quite as affordable as I hope they will be! I think that I just have expensive tastes, unfortunately. But these are still a darn sight more affordable than some of my usual bits and bobs – mascara from Bourjois (one of my new favourites), serums from No7 and a nice, ultra-bright lipstick from Avon. I don’t think that’s out yet, but I’ll give you a nudge when it is.

I’ve done something a bit jazzy with this video – mainly because I was so incredibly bored with editing. Let me know what you think, but please be kind. I’m in a fragile mood after the last lot of Youtube trolls did their evil work on me – you try not to let it bother you but sometimes they are just a total pain in le arse.
