Clarins Blue Lotus oil (balances and hydrates skin, use at night)
Elemis tri enzyme wash with Clarisonic (gets the vile city I live in out of my face)
Kerastase Aqua Seal cream (shine and softness for my super thick hair without making it greasy or heavy, better than a serum)
Clinique glossy mascara black brown (never clumps, natural effect but somehow transformative)
Clinique bottom lash mascara, as above!
YSL Vernis a Levres (gloss that finishes like a lipstick and fades to a stain in the best colours ever, defines your face without being too much)
NARS radiant creamy concealer (liquid concealer that covers everything but melts into your skin)
Bobbi Brown blush in Slopes (beautiful flattering powder blush, suits everyone)
Topshop kohl pencils (like MAC but 1/3 of price)

Coconut oil to cleanse
Sudocreme for spots
Lily Lo Lo mineral foundation - I'm proper screwed if they ever stop making this, it's the only foundation that doesn't make me feel like I'm wearing make-up
Benefit Boiing concealer
Max Factor cream blush
Max Factor mascara
Rimmel 60 seconds nail varnish - I'll never buy another nail varnish again, this sets fast and it lasts
Aveeno menthol/oat body lotion

Those are the only thing I buy repeats of, but I'll likely be adding Aveda Black Malva s/c to that list.

Hazelnut oil (for skin and hair. High in protein so makes hair fab again)

Japanese Rice Bran oil for ocm (cleansing).

Akamuti body oils (flower one and the lavender one)

Earth Friendly Baby Lavender body wash and shampoo.

Earth friendly baby lavdender body lotion.

RMS Beauty "un-cover" as foundation

Neals Yard mineral make up powder (its so light and doesn't contain any zinc oxide which my skin hates. It's more like a top powder rather than foundation as it has virtually no coverage).

Nars matte lip pencils in "Bettina" and "sex machine".

WallyBantersJunkBox · 25/10/2013 11:12

Revive night cream (it exfoliates through the night)
Kevin Murphy Hydrate me rinse (conditioner)
Shu Uemura facial oil cleanser
Avéne Micellar water - when you can't be bothered at night - this product is a miracle for removing make up and grime.
Brazil nut body scrub from the Body Shop - no point spending tonnes of money on something that washes down the drain
Palmers Moisturizer - although it's heavy I have never found a better body moisturizer.

MAC lipsticks
Face oil, body oil

Kiehl's supremely gentle eye make up remover (and lasts ages!)

Dior powder shadows

Chantecaille future skin foundation

Laura Mercier kohl pencil in black gold (other colours available...they are like blackened shades if that makes sense?)

LulaPalooza · 25/10/2013 17:24

L'Oreal Telescopic mascara
Clinique foundation
Mitchum roll on (scented or unscented)
Seche Vite
Bobbi Brown eyebrow stuff (sorry, can't remember what it's called but it has a mascara type wand and is foolproof, for fools like me)
Witch hazel gel

IBelieveInEngels · 25/10/2013 17:31
