Wow reading all these replies is tiring me out, how do you all find time and energy for all that?

Me:

skin -somtimes put either E45 or Simple cream on in morning, dont bother at night as too tired and it gets all over the pillowcases, any other cream irritates eyes and skin

Body- wrights coal tar soap

Hair- whatever shampoo is on offer currently using herbal essences

Makeup- only put on once a week when i go out, mainly Estee Lauder or No 7

Last thing at night i do use a micellar wipe to clean face

Dizzydodo · 30/05/2016 19:59

Garnier micellar water, simple foaming cleanser, boots no7 day or night cream (the one for slightly dry skin)

Garnier ultimate blends (the green one) but I won't be buying again, I think it smells like loo cleaner!

At the mo shower stuff is soap and glory clean on me and a soap and glory body butter after but i can't remember which one

I have a tonne of makeup but my most used at the mo are Charlotte tilbury magic foundation, tarte Amazonian clay blush, soap and glory bronzer, a maybelline mascara (can't remember which one), stila smudge stick, urban decay naked basics pallete, a rimmel eyebrow pencil (which I don't love), revlon lip crayon thingy (can't remember what they're called!)

In the evenings I add in some Mac face and body foundation, the Urban Decay naked smoky palette, Estée Lauder pure colour eyeliner/Maybelline master precise eyeliner pen/Benefit they're real eyeliner, Mac or Dior lipstick in various shades, and Sleek powders in various shades for contouring.

littlepooch · 31/05/2016 13:37

Skincare - Origins Never a Dull Moment face wash, Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair, Advanced Night Repair eye Creme and serum and Estée Lauder Daywear moisturiser.

Bodycare- Aveeno body wash and Aveeno body lotion.

Haircare - Kerastase oleo relax shampoo and conditioner, frizz ease hair serum

Make up - an average day is Laura Mercier silk Creme foundation, collection 2000 concealer, Mac blusher, Laura Mercier eyeshadow, collection 2000 liquid eyeliner, Benefit they're real mascara, Charlotte tilbury lip liner and Mac lipstick. Sometimes add some hourglass ambient lighting powder or Kevin aucoin highlighter. Switch it up though - sometimes don't wear eyeliner, sometimes just a very light gloss on my lips.

I've learnt the hard way to just stick to the stuff I like and that works for me, even if it is a bit more expensive, I waste more money buying different things and then going back to my old staples!!
