Mine is the REN jelly cleanser, I’m a lazy caaah and I hate washing my face (don’t judge me I DO ACTUALLY wash my face, it’s just a chore) but this cleanser makes my face feel like a cloud Grin it just feels so soft and “cleansy”

Tell me your go to products?

Uk Lash Serum . Best £30 ever spent . I’ve gone from a virtually eyelash less sceptic to Bambi after 8 weeks of use and they’re still growing. Putting on mascara is the highlight of my day and I’m loving annoying all my friends and family but exclaiming every so often “ Is there a door open somewhere- I can feel a breeze . Oh sorry it’s just me fluttering my eyelashes !! “

If only one … in the make up front, Benefit pore-fessional primer. No other primer comes close for me.

Noteable mentions for benefit they’re real mascara, clinique even better foundation and Estée Lauder lip liner pencils in rose, nude and spice (go with every lipstick I own).

On the skincare front, Estée Lauder day wear moisturiser. I’ve used it on and off for 25 years and always come back to it.

Clinique even better refresh foundation
Clinique mascara

I put these on and look alive!

Skin and me subscription. Simplified my routine massively and made my 40 something spotty yet wrinkly skin into something that I'm not ashamed to show bare faced on the school run

REN Rosa Hot Cloth Cleanser. Just gorgeously creamy and silky, never stings my eyes and smells of roses.

VillKrill · 15/11/2021 19:51

Lucas’ pawpaw cream - I’m never without it. I have horrid thin lips so lipstick looks awful, but this stuff keeps them looking vaguely acceptable

Hourglass bronzer

£50 delivered for UK lash and brow.....what is it that makes them work! I had castor oil at a time but didn't use it regularly tbh so unsurprisingly didn't notice any change. Would castor oil work the same or is UK lash different...better?

Burts Bees tinted lip balm in Red Dahlia. I have one in every handbag, plus in my make up case.

VitalsStable · 15/11/2021 20:20

Emma Hardie primer with spf, it's amazing snd you don't really need to wear foundation on top of it.

Her moringa cleansing balm is pretty awesome too.

OverByYer · 15/11/2021 20:23

Trinny London BFF. I know people are a bit marmite about it but works for me abs I like that it has a SPF as well

LapinR0se · 15/11/2021 20:23

Estée Lauder advanced night repair serum which I actually use every morning and every night. It’s the only thing that makes my dry sensitive skin behave itself.
And Botox.

DirectionToPerfection · 15/11/2021 20:26

Smashbox primer is amazing, one of the few products I'll never switch from.

BringMeTea · 15/11/2021 20:33

UKLash duly ordered... 🐑🐑🐑 Grin. I have NK1 serum and it does work but your description drew me in @Tirtytreeandaturd.

My one thing would be Oskia vitamin c.

dawnant21 · 15/11/2021 20:33

Cosrx advanced snail radiance dual essence….hard to beat

Tirtytreeandaturd · 15/11/2021 20:38

Good luck BringMeTea . You’ll thank me in 8/10 weeks time I hope 👀. Tell me more about Oskia Vit C pls

NowWhatUsernameShallIHave · 15/11/2021 20:40

Really?!!!!
Just one! 😫

La Roche Posay Anthelios spf 50 facial sunscreen. It’s daily protection from sun damage that leaves your skin looking just like it did before you put it on - no greasiness or shine. It doesn’t make me breakout in spots and acts as a great base for make up.

I swap cleansers and moisturisers depending on the weather, how dry my skin is feeling and what else I’m using on it (retinol or glycolic acid.) I wear concealer most days and add on tinted moisturiser when I want more coverage. I swap between a few blushers, don’t bother with mascara and have tried every eyebrow product in production, often several at once. I’m a lip balm/tint whore who has a handful of highly pigmented lipsticks in pretty containers that I end up wiping off before I leave the house but can’t bring myself to throw away. Whatever else I use, I use sunscreen.

Schhhteeevie · 15/11/2021 21:07

@Tirtytreeandaturd ahahaha, you sounded almost evangelical then. I’m looking this up!
