And what are your go to products?
E.g Cleanser, toner, moisturiser, foundation, mascara etc.

At the moment I have been reaching for:

St Ives fresh face scrub
Olay beauty fluid
Rimmel match perfection foundation
Rimmel stay matte powder
Avon eyeshadow quad in brown shades
Mac bronzer
Clinique mascara
Vaseline rosy lips

For my hair I just straighten it or put in a messy bun.

Have shower.
Wash hair every other day (its long)
Brush teeth
Get dressed.

I'm just no good at grooming - I never look nice, no matter how much time and effort I spend so I don't bother. Clean will do

Bloody minimal atm as I'm a SAHM.

Shower :

Tea Tree shower gel.
Clinique face soap.
Used a weird l'oreal exfoliator for hair this morning. Bit weird. Pure something or other.
Shampoo is Redken Cleansing Creme or any other silicone free stuff.
No conditioner, it's greasy enough, my hair!
Shave legs weekly.

Make up:
Rimmel foundation and powder.
Maybeline mascara.
L'Oréal eyeliner.
Chapstick.

Hair is blowdried then hairspray to keep fringe neat and stop it fizzing. Usually leave hair loose.

Johnson's baby lotion to remove make-up at night .

toffeeboffin · 16/06/2017 02:09

Hair is natural, no colour or anything and I get a pedicure every month. That's it.

esk1mo · 16/06/2017 02:19

im Shock at the amount of stuff people put on their faces, i had no idea!

I cleanse daily with Garnier Micellar water, moisturise with Dermol or Bio Oil.

Once or twice a week I use a Garnier salicylic acid blueberry scrub.

Make up maybe once a week.
