This week we have a round-up of ten under £10 summer beauty buys – all perfect for picking up at the airport or popping in your basket with your weekly shop to give you a little summer boost.
Garnier
Hair Food Banana Hair Mask, £6.99
A nourishing hair mask to put back the hydration and shine that a summer of humidity, UV damage and chlorine has stripped away. With nourishing banana and shea butter, the melting texture gives no weigh-down and reduces breakages after one treatment. Buy it here.
Ambre Solaire
Clear Protect Transparent Sun Cream Protection Spray SPF50, £6.50
This is our favourite high-street SPF; it’s light as water, non-greasy and leaves no white marks. Enriched with aloe vera for a hydrating spritz, it gives great all-round protection in a light-weight, fresh formula. Buy it here.
Revolution
Mega Bronzer, £5
Giving just the right amount of sun-warmed matt colour in an XL compact, the Mega Bronzer is great swirled across collarbones, shoulders and face for a hint of natural glow. Buy it here.
Revlon
Volumazing Waterproof Mascara, £8.99
A creamy, volume-loading mascara that won’t budge on beach-days. The dense-bristle wand quickly builds dramatic volume in just two coats, for a deep black lash. Buy it here.
Boots
Vitamin C Sleep Mask, £4
An affordable overnight treatment enriched with vitamin C and yuzu to brighten skin as you sleep. It is also a good one to slather on in-flight so you disembark with radiant, glowy skin. Buy it here.
Isle of Paradise
Pro-Glow Spray Tan Mister, £10.50
If you love the convenience and safety of sun-less tanning but your technique leaves something to be desired, this refillable spray mister from Isle of Paradise is designed to be filled with their self-tan water to give an ultra-fine, streak-free coverage with 360-degree spraying power for an even finish. Buy it here.
Megababe
Thigh Rescue, £8
This anti-friction balm is an essential bit of kit if you find chafing a problem in the heat. Creating a comfortable, protective barrier where you need it most to stop irritation in its tracks. Buy it here.
Expressie from Essie
Crave The Chaos Nail Polish, £7.99
A quick drying, pretty pink shade that looks great with a tan. Perfect for popping in your travel bag for holiday nails on-the-go. Buy it here.
Klorane
Dry Shampoo, £10
Perhaps not a bargain buy when compared to other dry shampoos, but the gentle oat milk formula gives volume, a clean-hair feeling and soft, beautifully scented locks. Great for festivals, travelling and beyond. Buy it here.
Frank
Glow Mask, £5
Filled to the brim with plumping and luminosity-boosting plant extracts, including caffeine-packed coffee seed oil and vitamin-c rich goji berry, this cream mask gives skin a dewy glow in just five minutes. A convenient pouch to pack in your beauty bag to reboot dull skin when it needs a boost. Buy it here.
