Hello, my name is Gemma and I blog over at Gemseren.
Firstly I would like to give a huge thanks to Adrienne for letting me have a guest post on her blog!
I love a bargain, and as its summer I thought I would write about my favorite beauty items for summer that are under £10.
Barry M Nail Gelly in Greenberry £3.99 - I love this colour and its perfect for summer. Its a bright green-blue that is so eye catching and summery. I love the formula of the gelly polishes too, they last really well on my nails and have a nice shiny finish.
Advance Techniques 360 Nourishment Moroccan Argan Oil Leave in Treatment £5.50 - In the summer months I find my hair to be drier than usual, so I love products that can add moisture and shine to my hair. I like to use it before I was my hair as a nourishing treatment, and then use a really small amount on towel dried hair after its been washed. My hair is left really soft, smooth and shiny.
Boots Botanics BB Cream £8.99 - This BB Cream really does leave my skin looking radiant and dewy, without looking too greasy. I use this and set it with Rimmel Stay Matte Powder and it lasts a good 6 hours on my skin - for me this is great. It has a great SPF of 30, so perfect for taking on holiday too.
MUA Undress me Too Palette £4 - I love gold and bronze for summer and this palette contains some lovely shades. Its also a great price, and nice and compact for taking on holiday.
Garnier Summer Body Lotion £5.09 - This is a really great gradual tanner and its often on offer, I got mine for £2.55. I bought it in the shade deep even though I am pale, as I wanted more of a tan. Two uses and my skin is looking sunkissed, a few more and I have a really nice golden tan. The only down side is that it is a little thick, so can take a while to sink into the skin.
Amie Skin Shield Daily Moisturiser £5.95 - This is a great day time moisturizer for summer as its quite light, has SPF and gives a nice glow to the skin. It also smells great.
Korres Lip Butter in Pomegranate £8 - A lovely light lip balm that is moisturizing and delivers a wash of coral to the lips.
Vivo Baked Blush in Peaches and Cream £4 - This blush is gorgeous, a coral pink with shimmer it looks amazing with a tan. Its so affordable too at only £4.
Maybelline Color Tattoo in On and On Bronze £4.99 - As I said earlier, I love bronze colours for summer. This cream shadow has amazing staying power and can either be used alone or as a base for other eyeshadows. I took this on holiday and used it everyday.
Bourjois Cream blush in 02 £7.99 via Boots - The texture of this blush is beautiful. It blends so easily and feels really light on the skin. Peach is another colour I love for summer makeup and this is a really pretty light peach.
So there are my top 10 summer beauty products for under £10, I hope you enjoyed reading. Another huge thanks to Adrienne for letting me guest post!
Thanks Gemma!

Hello Gemma! Great picks :) I love the MUA palette, such nice colours! I have the same colour tattoo and I love using it during summertime! xx

Love the Avon serum, leaves my hair silky smooth when I put the right amount. But I'm always thinking about something else while applying it and put too much of it in my hair and my hair becomes greasy after a few hours. Why can't I learn from my mistakes?!?

Love the colour tattoos, they have some real staying power. I swatched one on my hand and after a shower, many-a hand washes and a sleep, the thing was still on my hand. Crazy stuff. X
