Heated eyelash curlers - bought Hitachi after Clairol stopped making them, ebay

Foot massager - it sorts of squeezes your feet - bliss

Sally Hansen leg make up- medium tan, everyday colour for legs under midi skirts in summer

Boots no7 stay perfect mascara, tubing so never smudges

Bobbi Brown long wear gel eyeliner

No 4 size paintbrushes, around £5 for ten off eBay to apply above eyeliner, much better than any expensive branded eyeliner brush

Real techniques orange foundation sponges, above all keep hands clean

Estée Lauder double wear foundation

Avene extremely rich compensating cream used as night cream

Liberty branded soaps to wash face

Clinique face brush with above soap to wash face

Superdrug face masks especially aloe Vera mud mask, v cheap

Vaseline (for a thin layer at night after my before-bed routine)

Garnier Micellar Water

Philip Kingsley Elasticizer

Nars Orgasm blush

Yes to Burts Bees lipbalms - I have them everywhere!

yes to Mac lipsticks - I love Velvet Teddy in particular, and Ruby Woo (but would love another red that is less drying)

Is the st tropes face tan thing easy to use misery and would it work on pale pasty skin?

optimisticpessimist01 · 13/06/2019 21:00

Urban Decay eye primer- I've had several breakdowns in nightclubs in my uni days whilst wearing this under eyeshadow and it hasn't once budged!

Body Shop chamomile makeup remover- its the waxy thing in the circular tub (can't remember the exact name) its incredible to get makeup off and really gentle on the skin
