Those Handy Little Extras

There are often fiddly little bits that we need to buy, which help us perform everyday little tasks, such as applying/removing make-up, cleaning teeth etc, for which we don’t really want to spend a fortune. We’d rather save the pennies for the actual cosmetics or whatever, but fortunately these odd little items can be picked up quite reasonably when shopping.

Tesco Everyday Value Eye Shadow Applicators, 33p for 4. These work and last, just as well if not better than others I have tried. They actually didn’t fall apart as quickly as others that had cost five times the price!

Skin Therapy Cotton Wool Pads (Oval, Large), 65p for approx. 50 at Wilkinson. These are good, absorbent pads that are great for removing make up or even popping in the first aid box. The size and thickness of these is much better than many more expensive versions.

Johnson Cotton Buds, 59p for 100 at Savers. As well as cleaning those ‘important little places’ they are handy for applying/removing make up, correcting make up/nail varnish disasters (dip in remover and dab) or even cleaning round the computer keyboard keys! Johnson’s seem more robust than other brands, but can be bought very reasonably at Savers.

Superdrug Nourishing Nail Polish Remover Pads, £1.39 for 20. I much prefer using these to a bottle of nail varnish remover, as they are quick and easy to use and fit in a handbag for emergency removals.

Wisdom Interdental Brush £1.59 at Savers. Great for reaching all the awkward areas that your ordinary toothbrush misses, meaning cleaner teeth and healthier gums.
