Savvy shopper says this £2.99 bargain foundation from B&M is as good as £34 Estee Lauder version

A bargain beauty hunter has taken to Facebook to share a fantastic find that could save you over £30 a time if you regularly wear Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation.

Posting in the popular 'Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK' group, savvy shopper Molly Atkin wrote:

"I always stick to the same foundation but this time I thought I'd try something new. Estee lauder is a whopping £30, the w7 is £2.99 in b&m! You can't even tell the difference! I'm converted and saving myself £27. May not be as good for some people but I'm definitely swearing by it!"

She originally posted a picture of herself wearing the W7 foundation to show how good its coverage is, but later took it down after people commented that she looked quite pale.

However, lots of people leaped to defend her, with one woman saying: "She didn't ask for opinions on the shade, not everyone wants to look like they have rolled around in wotsits. You look fab hun, thanks for the recommendation!"

Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation can cost up to £34 depending on which shop you buy it from.

Over 1000 people commented on the picture of the two bottles side by side, with many agreeing with Molly.

One woman said:

"I've tried this foundation it's brilliant. Not many shades to choose from but I just go over with a little powder anyway."

Another person mentioned an additional benefit to using W7 foundation, saying: "W7 products are also all cruelty free!"
