What are your all -time top 5 beauty products?

[user1481140239]

I'll go first -

1. Estee Lauder double wear zero smudge eyeliner
2. Clinique Clarifying lotion
3. Kiehl's midnight recovery concentrate
4. Garnier BB cream and eye roll on (better than Touche éclat IMO)
5. Essie Gel setter top coat polish

Intersted to hear yours?

1. Nuxe reve de miel lip balm
2. Lily lolo mineral powder foundation (in China Doll for my very pale skin!)
3. Benefit They're Real mascara
4. Seche vite topcoat
5. Philosophy Purity Made Simple all in one cleanser

These are probably the main five things I buy religiously. Other items I tend to come back to are Mac Ruby Woo lipstick, Nip and Fab glycolic pads and L'Occitaine shea butter hand cream.

2. La Roche Posay Effaclar Mattifying moisturiser
3. L'Oreal million lashes couture (better than v v expensive brands. But Guerlain mascara in the back tube is good too.)

One of my many New Years resolutions is to have a decent skincare routine so am exploring different brands at the moment.

1. L'oreal glam lips in rose
2. Garnier fructis triple oil hair conditioner
3. Isadora sheer to cover foundation
4. Revlon soft black eyeliner
5. clarins flash balm

2. Liz Earle skin tonic
3. Ysl touché eclat
4. Eve lom rescue mask
5. Moroccan hair oil

Rosehip oil
E45 cream
Tom Ford black eyeliner pen
Boots cold cream
Nars tinted moisturiser

1. Max Factor masterpiece mascara (gold tube). Lovely natural looking 'daytime' lashes - like your own but better.
2. Bodyshop camomile silky cleansing oil. Have tried most of them including the Clinique balm and TBS one is the best. Great value for money.
3. Sally Hansen insta-dry gel topcoat. Absolutely 100% the best topcoat I have ever used. Sets your nail varnish so that you can get on with things and gives a great high shine finish as well.
4. Cos RX Skin Returning A-Sol. My go-to acid toner for a breakout. Used in conjunction with La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo moisturiser it will pretty much stop any breakout in its tracks.
5. Boots collection creamy concealer. Cheap as chips but great consistency, non drying and lasts for ages. I'd take this over YSL Touche Eclat any day.

And if I had room for a couple more -

Techniques make-up sponges.
Bare Minerals foundation powder (mixed with some translucent loose powder it makes a great 'setting' powder with a good finish.
Eyelash curlers - it does make a difference when you use them.

1. Lancôme teint idole ultra cushion
2. Maybeline colossal mascara
3. Clinique clarifying lotion (may have been superseded by alphah liquid gold)
4. MAC eyebrow pencil - lingering
5. Botox

Oh and Sleek's blusher in 'rose gold' - a spot on dupe for NARS 'orgasm' at a fraction of the price.
