Benefit High Beam. I love it and its cheaper imitations cannot live up to it.

cybbo · 27/04/2012 20:13

Mac primer spf50

mosschops30 · 27/04/2012 20:18

If i had to choose it would be Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish hot cloth cleanser.

Neals Yard Rose Facial Oil
YSL Perfect Touch Brush Foundation
Barbara Daily primer
Elizabeth Arden skin and lip protectant

Moisturiser - any will do as I don't have fussy skin.

madmomma · 27/04/2012 20:21

Ooh I've got a new fave rave; origins VitaZing spf 15. It's a light day moisturiser in a tube and it's got a slow release tint in it. (not a fake tan-type one though- it washes off) My skin is virtually white, but I can shove it on without even looking in the mirror just like a normal moisturiser and there's no demarcation line along my jaw and yet my skin looks 100% better with it on. Great stuff. I use it now in place of foundation and it's really streamlined my make up routine.

anniewoo · 27/04/2012 20:48

Bronzer and some kind of lip colour otherwise i look like death warmed up Grin

ravencathy · 27/04/2012 20:50

Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish + her moisturiser, as of about ten days ago. Fantastic!
Should I be using the toner though Mosschops as I'm not??

Others I love - Clarins Beauty Flash Balm
EA Eight Hour Cream (although maybe vaseline does the same job really and I am deluding myself).

madmomma · 27/04/2012 20:56

ifancyashandy is the LM illuminating one much different to the normal one?

mosschops30 · 27/04/2012 21:02

Yes to the toner, its alcohol free and really refreshing

ravencathy · 27/04/2012 21:08

Madmomma, underarm pads are pads that you put from inside of your shirt and it prevent sweat patches from showing and also protect your clothes. Very practical and useful thing.

madmomma · 27/04/2012 21:14

ravencathy I have been searching for such a thing all my life!(ok a few years, and only in my head) Do you sew them into your clothes and wash them or are they disposable? And where do you buy them from?

ravencathy · 27/04/2012 21:20

they are disposable, use them all day and chuck it away. You can buy them from Amazon but I'm buying them from www.nonchalante.co.uk , they are cheaper there, actualy you don't pay for the P&P or something

Voidka · 27/04/2012 21:20

Shu Uemura eyelash curler
Hocus Focus

ENormaSnob · 27/04/2012 21:21

petra14 · 27/04/2012 21:46

Dior new look mascara
Dior forever foundation
Nivea sos relief body lotion and nivea soft hand cream, it's good time to buy them in Tesco, half price at the moment

I have combination skin, as you can probably tell from the above!

ifancyashandy · 27/04/2012 22:48

madmomma, yes. It's got more of a glow about it, less matt. Tis wonderful!

LookAtAllTheseFucksIGive · 27/04/2012 22:54

ENormaSnob dab two or three small blobs along your cheekbones and blend lightly. You can also put it on your browbone. It reflects light and makes the areas appear more defined. I use it to look more awake than I really am. :o I have had the same bottle for 2 years and it still has half left.

titan · 27/04/2012 22:56

Eve Lom cleanser
Touche éclat
Nars orgasm multiple
Chantecaille tinted moisturiser and pressed powder

And recently discovered elemis cellular recovery skin bliss capsules - lovely!
