I don't care how much it costs, I can't live without...

My Lancome Bifacil eye makeup remover. So gentle, takes off every last trace of my waterproof mascara. I've been without it for a week as was unable to get to the shops, but one arrived yesterday courtesy of JL online. Phew!
What's yours?

mine has to be YSL's touche eclat. Have used it for 14 years and nothing else hides under eye bags and shadows half as well (essential with 6 month old DD)

My iPad. It is my constant companion, and unlike human beautiful and accomplished friends it doesn't make me look stupid or ugly by comparison.

Mac prep and prime spf 50. I am stockpiling it incase it ever gets discontinued.

blossoming I used to be the same about the Chanel eye makeup remover - nothing else worked - then I had a lightbulb moment and tried the Bourgeois version from Boots (bourgeois=cut price chanel apparently). it works perfectly and costs so much less

I don't think I could live without Brora or Apple - iphone AND mac air. And good leather gloves.

MY Hein Gerike biker jacket. I've had it about 8 years now and I love it.

Also my converse. There hasn't been a day in the last 14 months that I haven't worn my current pair at some point.

Benetint. Makes me look not quite so much like a zombie! My last bottle lasted me over a year.Stays on much better than normal blusher.

My hairdresser. I am just not meant to be mousy. I am meant to be both cool and warm shades of blonde. My hairdresser agrees.

My glasses. Blind as a bat and I generally don't give myself a budget when I need new ones. I wear them all the time so have to feel good with them.

blossoming · 05/11/2010 10:11

celery, is it that good? I had to order mac online too and they sent a sample of prep & prime. I use Laura Mercier. Have you tried it?

faustina, thanks for the tip!

And yes, I would be lost and friendless without my iPhone!

Conditioner (but actually I don't use expensive stuff)

Mascara - preferably waterproof (just trying clinique high impact curling stuff right now)

vintage4 · 05/11/2010 10:15

just music in general i could not live without it.

vintage4 · 05/11/2010 10:16

oh yes and another blind as a bat without my readin spec. I really hate the way age is catching up with me

Alouiseg · 05/11/2010 10:17

iPhone/iPad they go everywhere with me.

GetOrfMoiLand · 05/11/2010 10:19

By Terry foundation. I have tried and tried cheap (Lancome, Estee Lauder) and very cheap (Bourjois, Rimmel) but NOWT is as good as this. But it costs the best part of £100 so wince every time I buy it.

I justify it to myself as I buy blusher from Tesco and steal testers of eyeshadow

polyhymnia · 05/11/2010 10:24

Cheating here but:

  • Great glasses, as well as my contacts
  • Good hair cut and colour
  • Good bra.
(Also a By Terry addict, but think I could survive without it!)
noddyholder · 05/11/2010 10:27

Tell me about byterry foundation (make up junkie)

blossoming · 05/11/2010 11:19

trillian, I wear the clinique high impact. Brilliant.
I have fingers in ears with any talk of ByTerry. I have too many expensive habits without starting another!

Not sure what I couldn't live without tbh.

Am a product junkie so switch and change a lot.

Those of you who are Touch Eclat fans - Aldi do one that is apparently JUST as good.

notyummy · 05/11/2010 11:44

Touche eclat

Chanel Foundation

Rodial Body sculpting stuff (which is fiercely expensive but actually WORKS.)
