THE Love Island finale is upon us. The super-glam contestants have been keeping us occupied all summer with their couplings, banter . . . and beauty regimes.
So it is no surprise Island-inspired beauty goodies have been flying off the shelves since the latest series kicked off in July. Here are some of my favourites, so you can sparkle for less . . .
EXFOLI-GREAT: Boots reported that sales of exfoliating mitts had gone through the roof after Islander Toby Aromolaran was snapped scrubbing his face with a brightly coloured pair. I find them great for dry skin on the body. You can get the style he uses at Boots for just £1.50 — a steal compared to the Soap & Glory versions, £4.50.
SAVING: £3
ROLL WITH IT: Northumberland-based Brad McClelland has been spotted using a facial roller over a sheet mask. The Rose Quartz Facial Roller he was using costs £12.50 from Botanics at Boots - but I like to use the Lacura Rose Quartz Face Roller, £6.99 from Aldi.
SAVING: £5.51
OH, SHEET: A few of the Islanders have been spotted using sheet masks to plump and boost their complexions. I am a big fan of buying the Revolution Biodegradable Hydrating Hyaluronic Sheet Masks, £8 for a pack of five at beautybay.com. They work a treat and cost just £1.60 per mask — a steal compared to the popular Garnier Moisture Bomb masks, £2.99 each at Superdrug.
SAVING: £1.39 per mask
FLUTTER FOR LESS: I am a huge fan of Kaz Kamwi’s eye looks and it has been revealed she uses the Eylure Most Wanted Lashes Lush Crush, £10 from Boots. But I like the similar Ps 3D Vixen Intense Lashes, which are just £2 at Primark.
SAVING: £8
