Thought it might be interesting to know what we're using to face the day....
Here's mine:

Wash with Lush Ultrabland (I'm a bit meh about this but will carry on using till it finishes)
Pixi Glow toner
(Floss teeth)
Vitamin C serum
(Brush teeth)
Vitamin E serum (Superdrug)
Aldi Caviar day cream (love this!)
Lip balm (currently body shop, but whatever's to hand)
Makeup

Shower, brush teeth, deodorant, tinted moisturiser, mascara. 10 minutes max.

• Vichy Purete Thermale Fresh Cleansing Gel (it foams but doesn't have SLS)
• Superdrug Simply Pure Hydrating Serum
• Simple Kind to Skin+ Protecting Moisture Cream SPF30 UVA/UVB

Had this morning skincare for a few weeks - it seems to be working okay so far, touch wood, and my bank balance is happy! (I was using the Body Shop aloe cream cleanser with a flannel but think it was giving me spots.)

If I'm wearing makeup, my base is usually Bourjois CC cream and healthy balance powder. I mix it up on lips, cheeks and eyes. My mascara is currently Natural Collection because I'm stingy and it's cheap as chips, but tbh it's actually fine!

Whatever toothpaste and toothbrush has been on offer.

Mitchum deodorant.

Gee, brush teeth, get dressed go

No wonder I am tired all the time!

brilliana where do you get your Sunday Riley from (assuming UK) - really want to try but it is £££££
