I need to start pampering myself a bit, have let myself go and feel shite about it so need some beauty pick me ups. I'm sure I was slightly pretty many moons ago but lately I look like a haggered old bag and i'm only 28.

So what beauty product could you not live without ??

My budget is low but tis my birthday soon so tell me the not so cheap ones too

if its applied correctly. The "less is more" approach is the best.

Estee Lauder double day wear foundation is brill - it's quite heavy, so for me, it's more of a going out at night one but I love how my skin looks (ie 10-100x better than the real me).

My must haves include:
Liz Earle Cleanse & polish;
Gatineau defilift moisturiser;
SBC collagen gel;
Gale Hayman concealer;
Bare essentials powder (turns to foundation finish on the skin);
Decleor iris night balm;
Maybelline Great lash mascara;
Gale Hayman Lip balm (can't remember proper title);
Cream blusher from Body Shop;
Eyeshadows from Models prefer range;
Lipsticks from L'oreal;
Eyebrow pencil from Models Prefer range;
Shampoo and conditioners: MOP mixed greens range and Aveda Shampure range.
My very favourite product at the mo. is elastisier by philip kingsley. It is a pre-shampoo conditioner and really softens and nourishes my hair.
That's probably enough for now.......

icod, the vitamin e oil is a small bottle of oil, I get mine from superdrug's vitamin e range but, like someone else said the body shop do one. Fantastic stuff, I had acne when I was younger so have a few crater like pores, this stuff seems to make them appear smaller, don't know the science, sorry. You would think putting oil on your skin would make it greasy but, it doesn't, just feels beautifully soft. Can't recommend it highly enough, it also seems to soften fine lines.
