...?

Mine is so far the Clarins Body Glow lotion, a lovely body moisturiser with a hint of summer sun lol, and also Loving Cliniques High Impact Mascara for my ageing lashes. What about you?

The TriPollar Pose device, which uses radiofrequency to reduce fat. Amazing.

CeliaFate · 31/01/2011 10:28

Tri Peptox Face Cream here. They don't look or smell luxurious, but they work!

AbsDuCroissant · 31/01/2011 10:41

The Urban Decay eye make up primer. Has revolutionised my life (okay, not that much, but at least eye shadow now lasts more than two seconds) and switching to the unscented version of Palmers Cocoa Butter.

Decleor Aromessence Excellence Ultra-Regenerating Serum - well, it's oli really. But I love it, makes my skin so soft and moisturized, but not greasy at all, quite the opposite. Expensive, but you only need a few drops.

I'm going to cheat a little because its something I've used for a while, but LilyLolo mineral make up is my current obssession. I'm convinced it's totally changed my skin... I did think my skin was looking better because of all the pregnancy hormones over the past three years, but my youngest is now 13 months and the skin is still glowing, despite never getting much more than 5 hours sleep a night. Brilliant brilliant stuff, who'd have thought a foundation could do that?

oil of Olay eye make up remover.

Excellent for sensitive eyes, leaves eye area moisturised, removes waterproof too!

shufflebum · 31/01/2011 14:35

Monadami never even heard of that before, is it really as good as it looks?

MrsMeow · 31/01/2011 15:50

lololizzy - I know what you mean! It didn't burn my skin, but definitely made it tingle, and the fumes make my eyes water!

My face does feel lovely and clean afterwards though :)

wendihouse22 · 31/01/2011 16:01

Got me the Oil of Olay 3 Point Super Serum.....is it because it's expen sive that I'm imagining I actually look "plumped" and less wrinkly/tired/stressed?

I like this stuff!!

lololizzy · 31/01/2011 16:16

MrsMeow i've used Burts Bees skincare forever but this was the worst product ever used on my face! what caused that i wonder (ingredient). i adore their orange cleanser though (can't remember full name) easily as good if not slightly better, than Liz Earle's C&P

MrsMeow · 31/01/2011 16:25

I think it could be the witch hazel in it - probably the same ingredient that makes my lores look smaller when I've used it (bonus!)

The orange cleanser sounds lovely, will have to keep an eye out :)

lololizzy · 31/01/2011 16:28

i'm fine with witch hazel in fact just did an eye wash with a product that contains it. Think my cleanser got tampered with and copious amounts of chilli powder added ?! Shock

MrsMeow · 31/01/2011 16:33

Whoops - makes my pores look smaller, not sure what my lores are! Chilli powder maybe...Burts Bees is natural after all Shock

Wow thanks all, lovely set of responses, prompting a few additions to my shopping list!

I forgot 'This Works' tired eye serum, I've only been using it a fortnight but am amazed already. It contains Arnica, not sure if it's that thats getting rid of my dark circles!? but wow......

ASOS are doing a small bottle inside a christmas cracker for £5 at the moment if anyone wants to try it (It's £33 for the full size)

Celiafate I've got the Tri peptox Overnight Recharge. I'm really pleased with it, my skin seems much smoother and moisturised since I've been using it. Are the other products in the range as good? Deffo good value

Clinique laser focus serum.

DukesOfTripHazard · 08/02/2011 20:08

I have been doing Facercise (Carol Maggio?) Facial exercises since mid december. I'm 44 and feel fabuloso. One person asked me why I looked so well and said she and another friend had been discussing it.

Get in.

I do them every other day now and can't see any reason to stop.

Sorely tempted by Big Hair.

BeeBox · 08/02/2011 20:10

Yes to Babyliss big hair.

SixtyFootDoll · 08/02/2011 20:13

DErmalogica face products esp active moist

monkeysmama · 08/02/2011 20:38

NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil, Pop Life. It's so easy to apply, a brilliant reddy shade. Looks great. One of my favourite beauty buys ever!

littledolly · 09/02/2011 08:29

The No 7 Thermal Face Mask - Purifying I think it's called. When you put it on your skin it heats up. I love it, leaves my skin feeling brilliant!
