Schick™ Hydro Silk Razor Kit
“I have used the Schick Hydro Silk razor for many years as it is a great and reliable razor which I know works very well, the cut of hair is so close to the skin I don’t have to shave as often as I have had to with other brands. It does not irritate my skin which gives me piece of mind knowing I can use it with confidence and won’t get any irritation I think this is partly because of the gel attached to the razor.” – Saffy86

“It stayed on through a sweaty gym workout with no flaking, smudging, or smearing and it even stayed on in the shower! I didn’t rub my eyes in the shower but the water hitting my face didn’t cause the mascara to smudge or smear at all. It removed pretty easily with my Banila Co Nourishing oil cleanser. Best of all it doesn’t irritate, burn, or affect my sensitive, contact lens wearing eyes in any way.” – Katie08

They all look like great affordable products
I have been using Batiste dry shampoo for the past 10 years so it is definitely worth the mention in this article.

yes to some of these!
IcySpicy66, a few posts below, marked as SPAM!
So many good products on this list and many that I want to try.
I love this budget buy list.
Herbal Esscences yum. I love their frangrances in their products!
Love Neutrogena sunscreen.
Some great products here that are so convenient to be sold in supermarkets.
Ahh big NO to the biore nose strips (far too harsh on skin!) But big yes to the rimmel foundation!
Some great products here. Have to say the dry shampoo is my fave out of this bunch!
If I run out of dry shampoo I use baby powder. I find it works quite well.
Some familiar products here. I particularly like the Aveeno body moisturiser.
That Frizz Ease is fabulous.
Love when I find good supermarket buys
Cetaphil and Aveeno are top supermarket brands to buy on a budget.
I bought Revlon and Rimmel products from supermarket.
I’ve tried a few BB Creams, but don’t think you can go past Garnier for a good reliable and affordable brand. A friend of mine picked some up in Aldi last week for something like $4.99. Bargain!
The serum is great for my frizz.
So many brands available in the supermarkets
The supermarkets usually have good prices on what they do sell. And often have specials.
Rimmel Foundation is my favourite.
always have been a fan of the SkinRepublic sheet masks, affordable and a good range
I have purchased those razors from the supermarket! They work really well
The brush set and lipstick are well priced!
Always nice to have good brushes and lots to choose from
Have tried a few of these and want to try the Bioré strips and Cetaphil wash next.
I use a lot of those brands and some of the mentioned products. I suppose the beauty item I mostly buy from a supermarket would be mascara.
I am the same Onlyoni I look for a well priced mascara and have been pleasantly surprized
The only product here that I have used is the Blistex® Lip Conditioner. It is good
Often buy Maybelline when it’s on special at the supermarket. Alo like Nivea, Aveeno, Cetaphil and Mco Beauty.
Yes! Love the Schick, Aveeno & Cetaphil picks.
Good article to help nab some good bargains.
This is great, all really accessible products.
Cetaphil is amazing, & I love Revlon Super Lustrous lippy, too.
Some good products here and excellent prices
I love Cetaphil and Aveeno both are great brands.
I didn’t realise supermarkets were carrying a lot of these brands.
The supermarkets are stocking some interesting brands nowadays
I’m a fan of the Olay products and also Revlon is my favourite lipstick brand and has been for a long time.
Affordable buys easily purchased when doing the grocery shop. I need a lip salve with sunscreen so I’ll look out for the Blistex at Coles
Love the bright orange of COVERGIRL LashBlast Volume Mascara
Number one and two. Other ones not for me.
So annoying with lengthy spam from 2021 still showing.
Great selection of products. You can get great affordable products
