Also just started with The Ordinary. Have the Buffet serum, the hyaluronic, the Vit C and the retinol. All the lot for less than £15.
Astral blue pot is the bollocks for really dry skin (and necks etc)
ANY facial oil which isn't massively perfumed, in a pretty box and with a whopping mark-up. Look at the ingredients and you can get the same from Naissance on Amazon (all organic) and whack a drop of neroli in if you want it to smell nice. Trilogy/Clarins/the lot- massive massive rip-offs.
Mascara- best I've had recently was a double ended Maybelline one. The Benefit They're Real meanwhile is like putting black gloopy tar on my eyelashes.
Superdrug Vit E hot cloth cleanser is lovely. The Radiant one though, stinks to glory and made my skin very scratchy- probably not one for sensitive/dry skins.
Obviously, the by now world famous Collection whatever it's called now dupe of the YSL touche eclat highlighter pen. Doesn't stink like a rancid dishcloth after 2 days.
Olay Anti-ageing toner is an acid toner but doesn't brag about it and is a zillion times nicer than Nip/Fab/Pixi etc etc.
Perfume- get to Perfume Parlour and buy the dupes. £3 for the smallest size. Some are identical to the real thing, and some are even nicer. Only had a couple of mingers.
