Worth the money - best products?

[MumBod]

Following on from the other thread about crap beauty products, what are your huge wins?

I need enabling inspiration.

I'll start - Waitrose shower gels. Cheap as chips and smell lovely.

Coconut oil as a conditioning treatment for hair. Best thing I've ever used bar none.

JLo Glow perfume. Again cheap and lovely.

Mac Velvet Teddy lipstick. A nice nude that doesn't turn terracotta.

Clinique Quickliner Intense eyeliner. I buy two at a time in case I run out.

Bobbi Brown Intensive Skin Serum concealer. Knocks Touché Eclat into a cocked hat.

What are your wins?

Bars of olive soap for shower.

Cheers, Lola

Any more for any more?

Ooh, great thread idea! Here's my first stab (I'll prob think of more):

Collection lasting perfection concealer - cheap and good

Dr Bronner castile liquid soap - organic, few ingredients, lots of uses. Peppermint is my fave fragrance.

Mac Plumful lipstick - so flattering & easy to wear I think it suits everyone

Aveeno moisturiser - just so effective on dry skin but not oily or heavy

Max Factor Masterpiece mascara - best high st mascara IMHO

Una Brennan superfacialist vitamin c cleansing oil - works like a charm and lovely to use because it smells of oranges

The Bodyshop Sumptuous Camomile Cleansing Butter - justifies its 5 star reviews
Benebalm tinted lip balm
Dr Organic soap - not drying at all, and in an effort to be more environmentally friendly I am ditching liquid soap and shower gel in favour of bars of soap

Mac - lipstick in Brave - one of my favourite lipsticks , a nice mauve nude

Nars - lipstick in Anita - my absolute favourite lipstick - another mauve nude

Rimmel stay matte powder in transparent- used it for years , have tried a lot of more expensive products and nothing beats it !

Kat Von d liquid pen eyeliner - very very black and doesn't budge

Nars sheer glow foundation - not sheer or glowy ! Good coverage and fairly matte. My HG foundation

Real techniques beauty sponge - amazing for applying liquid foundation

Nivea moisturiser the blue pot for a night cream

Echo coconut oil as a hair mask !

M and S Ultimate Sleep Cream

Clinique Pepstart Eye Cream

Korres shower gel, especially the fig one

Lancôme Hypnose Doll Eyes mascara

These are the products I keep going back and buying repeatedly as I haven't found better!

Those of you who use coconut oil for a hair mask how long do you keep it on for?

Do you wash your hair before and after or just after?

Redken Cleansing Creme.

Collection lasting perfection concealer

Benefit hoola bronzer

Benefit roller lash mascara

All of the Urban Decay Naked palettes

Sigma F80 flat top kabuki (for liquid foundation)

Hourglass baked bronzers, blushes and highlighters

Elf brow kit

Kiko pressed powder

Kiko single shadows

Topshop highlight in Sunbeam

Estee Lauder advanced night repair (serum)

Liz Earle cleanse and polish (hot cloth cleanser)

The Superdrug revival hot cloth clenser (Liz Earle dupe. I genuinely can't tell difference and it's about £3!)

Elemis beauty flash balm

Rimmel eyebrow kit

Fake footner socks from china off eBay

Eyelure individual eyelashes

Estée Lauder double wear

Victoria beckhams for EL bronzer and highlighter. Worth every penny!

I put coconut oil into dry hair and leave it about half an hour before washing and conditioning it.

It's miraculous.

Interested in the Superdrug cleanser.

Anyone know of a brilliant blusher that lasts more than five minutes?

I use Nars multiple in Orgasm and love the colour but it just disappears.

Thank you MumBod. I will give it a try.

Aldi do a cleanse and polish for about £3 it's just as good as Liz Earle and I prefer it to the Superdrug one personally

1. The Ordinary Buffet, Retonoid 2%, lactic acid, and Caffeine Eye Lotion.
   All have ,add a visible difference to my skin.

2. Heliocare 360 Fluid Cream (in pic)
   evens my complexion no provides SPF 50 protection. I use this everyday. The best investment for your future ski .

3. Veil Complexion Fix pen ( second pic)
   Great for undereye circles

4. Hourglass powder in ambient light.
   Wonderful. I only use this, Heliocare and veil on my skin. No tinted moisturiser, no foundation.

5. Pureology haircare.
   SLS free yet foam beautifully and smell divine. The best haircare I have found.

6. Dyson hairdryer.
   Sorry...it's just fab. My hair is long, thick and takes an age to dry. This does it in no time and helps the condition too.

2 of these are Beauty and the Boutique recommendations ( Heliocare and Veil), I do actually trust her info I have to say.

Hopefully you can understand despite the typos...^^!

OP, which coconut oil do you use? TIA

I tried the powder version but it looked like I'd dipped my head in glitter

I wish I'd bitten the bullet and bought a Dotson hairdryer when I was in the market for one a few months back. I bottled it and went for a slightly cheaper GHD one and it's not much better than the cheapo Remington I had before.

Another goodie is Oil of Olay Complete Lightweight Day Fluid. Non-greasy, doesn't clog pores or make my face shiny. Soaks straight in, and great under makeup.

I use a jar of coconut oil that I got from Aldi. Just bog standard stuff from the food aisle.

An added bonus is that my hair smells gorgeous for the whole of the next day.

Nars - (laguna) bronzer. It's such a flattering shade.
Also Nars translucent powder!
Mac Studio fix fluid foundation - I'd never change, it's high coverage and really blendable.
Becca - pearl highlighter/The Balm - Mary Lou - really lovely on pale skin tones, although i think both would look great on darker skin tones too.
Also another vote for Kat Von D tattoo liner - it really does not budge

Sorry for the typos if there are any, I'm in a rush

Ooh, will have a look at Laguna blusher

Ah, it's a bronzer, my mistake.

Dotson??

Dyson.

(Could have been worse, my phone just tried to change 'Dyson' to 'dysentery')
