I really can’t quite believe that it has taken me this long to put this video together! I suppose I thought that some things were a bit obvious, but then I realised that I had just got so used to using them that I took them for granted!

Anyway, these are my six top beauty tips that hardly cost a penny – most items can be reused so many times that the cost ends up being negligible. Of course you can plump for cheaper options on the lash curlers and the body brush, but these really are the best examples I have found in ten years and so I do think that they are worth the one-off investment!

I shall be writing about the salts separately because I am mortified that they are not already up here on the site – I could have sworn that they were one of the very first things I wrote about! Enjoy the video – shopping list, as always, is below the video pane.
