From an almond shower gel to a Dyson dupe, this week's budget buys will have you saving money while still keeping you looking great and smelling delicious.

MCoBeauty's Smoothing Almond Oil will turn your daily shower into a self-care ritual filled with scents of sweet almonds. The shower oil transforms into a foam, and is the cheaper alternative of a very popular French beauty brand's shower oil.

The new body lotion from Palmer's is caring for your body with a sweet scent that will have you smelling like ice-cream. The Tahitian Vanilla Body Lotion is enriched with cocoa butter and vitamin E to deliver a rich moisturiser to hydrate your skin, and it bursts with the smell of vanilla, covering you in a dessert scent that you will soon become addicted to.

The beauty product du jour is the lip stain and we have found one of the best options that is very affordable. Kmart's OXX Beauty Collection now includes the Peel Off Lip Liner Stain that you can use as a lip liner or a lipstick. Line your lip, wait 10 to 20 minutes, gently peel off and voilà! You can also cover your entire lips for a natural stain, or for a shiny finish simply dab a lip oil over your lips once you have peeled off the stain. The peel off stain is available in four colours including nude and red.

We can't all afford Dyson's hairdryer and we don't all have hours to dry and style our hair, and that's why our new find has become our hero hairstyling item. The Laifen SE 2 High Speed Hair Dryer boasts two airspeeds and five temperature levels with the powerful hairdryer drying long hair in an impressive 5 minutes. And what's more impressive that has us sold? It releases over 200 million negative ions, which lock in moisture and seal the cuticle layer of your hair, reducing frizz and leaving you with smoother, shinier hair.
