Sweet almond oil, castor oil, carrot seed oil and rosehip oil for cleansing.

Clinique high impact mascara - I was previously a Max Factor masterpiece max fan but the Clinique one blows it out of the water. My eyelashes all fell out due to chemo and this is the only mascara that made my little stubs look like lashes. Now I have lashes again, they look amazing with this mascara.

The Body Shop burriti baby bottom butter - I've been using it for hand cream and it's taken years off my hands. Years!

Posh Brats scrubs, currently using a vanilla one and it's perfect. Loads of scrubs I've tried have either been too harsh (Lush solid sugar scrub, I'm looking at you - you left me looking like I'd been attacked and scratched by angry cats) or not scrubby enough. - www.poshbrats.com/

NoGoodNamesLeft · 28/06/2012 23:55

Almost forgot - the anti-ageing Lacura face serum from Aldi. I've run out and godammit, I need more. It reduced my open pores and evened out my skin tone.

And elf! all elf products! No not all but their brushes are amazing and only 1 pound. Gorgeous eyeshadow quads and brilliant quality nail polish for £2.50. You can get so much for so few pounds and it's all really good!

Aveda Dry Remedy conditioning mask
Asda Little Angel baby bath- large bottle and does the job of a shower gel for me

Clinique high impact mascara?- the one with the comb
Batiste dry shampooI the original one. I bought a huge can when it was on special last year. Think that Home Bargains sells this pretty cheap.

Clinique moisture surge_sinks in to skin quickly and easily. I didn't buy it full price though I bought multiple copies of Cosmo when it was a free gift.

8 hour cream- I get irritated under my nose in certain situations and this soothes it.

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 29/06/2012 07:33

Aveda mint and rosemary shampoo

Liz Earle superskin concentrate

bawabod · 29/06/2012 08:02

Liz Earle cleanse and polish
lancome eye liner-pencil lasts all day
Bobbi Brown shimmer brick for blusher/ eyeshadow

Belo · 29/06/2012 08:08

Argan oil for the eczema on my face. Clinique lash power mascara stays on all day and Johnson's baby oil put on straight from the shower, whilst skin still wet, skin so soft.

DonaAna · 29/06/2012 08:23

Chanel Hydra Beauty Serum. Solved all of my skin issues.
Eucerin 5% Urea Cream. For the odd dry flaky patch in winter.

Aldi Lacura body lotion, the one in the blue bottle with a white lid, It is free from mineral oil and soaks in brilliantly.

I object paying £5 for things like nivea, you may as well put baby oil on after your shower.

JemimaPuddle · 30/06/2012 14:20

Susieloo · 30/06/2012 14:51

Clinique moisture surge, used it loads last summer when my face was a bit burnt, you can use it on top of make up, I love it, really hydrating and very light.

Bourjois 10 hour sleep effect foundation, it doesn't have great staying power but I just reapply throughout the day, it's so liquid and blendable it's ace

No 17 bb cream, by far the best bb cream I've tried
