Here at heatworld, if there's one thing that's going to grab our attention it's a Love Island girlie talking about the makeup she used in the villa; especially if said makeup won't totally break bank, because we've only just had payday and we're already contemplating a life of crime to make ends meet.

That was a joke. Maybe.

And, we love sharing these money-saving beauty finds with you. Take these Love Island 2025 essentials, for example...

When it came to cleansing, all the girls swore by the same product to remove their make-up and keep their skin glowing — and it’s just £6 on Amazon. Oh, and Megan Forte Clarke spilled her go-to cream contour for getting that ‘snatched’ look — and it costs less than a fiver.

We love a beauty bargain.

Recently, a winter Love Island 2023 finalist caught our attention when she revealed the £5 eyeliner she swears buy AND it actually 'stays put' – we paid particular attention on this occasion because said Islander is Lana Jenkins who is actually a make up artist and therefore knows her s**t.

In a recent Q&A the Islander was asked, 'What's your favourite drugstore eyeliner? I can't find one that stays put.'

The winter Love Island legend revealed that she's been using Rimmel Scandaleyes Exaggerate eye definer for years AND it costs less than a fiver.

Our Lana responded, 'Honestly, I've used this one for yearsssss and it's always been a favourite. I also love the black shade; it's really pigmented. And then the chocolate brown is the perfect brown shade, too. Also, it's £4.99 😍.'

Now, bear in mind, Lana has worked with Rimmel over the years, so she's bound to favour them, but anything that's under a fiver and 'stays put' is one for our basket. We're sold.

Love Island's Lana Jenkins swears by eyeliner.

Lana took part in the second winter Love Island in early 2023. On the show, she formed a connection with Ron Hall, coupling up with him for the majority of her Love Island journey (aside from her hot sec with Aaron Waters).

Lana and Ron finished as runners-up behind winners Sanam Harrinanan and Kai Fagan (who recently got married).

Despite their efforts to maintain the relationship after leaving the villa, commuting difficulties and work commitments led to their split about three months later. She then threw shade at him as he entered the All Stars villa earlier this year...
