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!

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.

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!

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.

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
