what is the best beauty product you've ever bought (toiletries and/or makeup)

[milkyman]

I need inspiration!

Make up: urban decay eyeshadow primer potion. Allows me to keep shadow on for longer than five minutes.

Hair: Batiste. Been buying it for 20 years, I can't not have a can in the cupboard.

Skincare: probably Clinique pore minimising primer stuff.

Hmm, definitely a greasy-me theme going on here!

Clarins blue orchid oil

Blusher - in general, but specifically benefit coralista, and a house of colour one

Eco tools makeup brushes

Brazilian keratin treatment - amazing

Another one here for Retin A creme!

Urban Decay Big Buddah bronzing brush. Sadly discontinued. Glued mine together when it broke up a little

botox and a great colourist.

La roche posay effaclar K and duo
Stila Kitten eyeshadow (and natural palette)
Chanel lippy (too many to mention, they go on like a dream)
Bare minerals bisque concealer
Origins vitazing

dry shampoo
Vaseline in the little tins
Blinc grey liquid eyeliner (most perfect, flattering shade of grey on me)
No7 mattifying stuff (on top of makeup... can't live without it)
Clinique Lash Power
Laura Mercier concealer and brightening powder

'Chainmail' liquid eyeliner by No7 as stays put well

oh and Lush's Hair mask stuff.. not exactly beauty but more essential for my itchy flaky hair line/ brows

Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream. For lots of things but mostly my lips which are prone to chapping. The only thing that's ever cured them overnight. Shits all over Vaseline.

ooh forgot.. Lucas Pawpaw without a doubt.. no need for any more handcreams, foot cream, better on lips that vaseline..

Lol. Agree. Botox. Makes you reakise the rest is shit

Brazilian keratin treatment - amazing just amazing
ojon damage reverse shampoo and conditioner

Neal's Yard Frankincense Nourishing cream - best moisturiser ever and smells divine.

Bobbi Brown metallic cream eyeshadow. Amazingly easy to put on, stays out all day, quite spendy initially, but one pot lasts me the best part of a year with daily use. Cannot recommend highly enough!

YY to Retin-A.

And Batiste dry shampoo.

Plus Lisa Eldridge videos - not a product as such but I've learned so much about good make-up application from watching her. Thanks Lisa!

Nivea Crème, the old school one in the blue tub. Replaced my crème de la mer.
YSL Touche Eclait foundation,

Neutrogena hand cream
8hour cream
Bobbi brown pot rouge
Liz Earle tinted moisturiser
Matrix biolage shampoo and conditioner
Tweezerman tweezers.
Dove bodywash

Siriu-sonic facial brush
Avene Triacneal
Pure Jojoba oil
Eyelash and eyebrow dye
Astral cream
Bourjois blusher in rose brun
Gayle hayman lip lift

Yy to Batiste, Bobbi Brown cream eyeshadows, Dove body wash, sanctuary s facialist oil, Superdrug Vitamin E hot cloth cleanser, Aussie Haircare.

Coconut oil, (hair conditioner, oil pulling every other day but defo morning after excessive amounts of wine-bottle & half last night, bed at 2am, up at 6am & felt almost great after oil pulling).

Bourjois healthy mix cream blush in no 2. Boot botanics bb cream in medium(thanks to MN). Tweezerman tweezers. Will come back when I think of more!

Kerastase Masquintense hair mask.

Blue Nivea.

A note re coconut oil - yes it's amazing, but honestly any old oil does the same thing for hair. I've used olive oil for years since reading Claudia Schiffer used it as a weekly hair treatment. And have used sunflower oil which does the same thing too.

where doe everyone get their retina a from?

Clarins Facial Oils - Blue Orchid or Santal
Avene Rougeurs Fort

Nars Charade eyeshadow duo, esp. the darker shade.
Chantecaille Just Skin

Thanks shredded-good to know. Also love Aussie products & especially the tangle teezer, it's really awesome.

Invested in a mason Pearson hairbrush last year but think any boar bristle brush is as good
