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?

Body shop hemp handcream

SpeckledyHen · 15/11/2021 21:13

Nivea Soft for face hands and body. I would be a shrivelled prune without it.

Elemis pro collagen cleanser, drunk elephant vit c eye cream, retinol, Clinique lash power & on one tient idole foundation.

Can't pick one but they are regularly repurchased heroes

Chantecaille lipstick.

Unbelievably expensive but the holy grail of lipsticks.

It stays put and moisturises at the same time.

TheChosenTwo · 15/11/2021 21:18

OP the REM jelly cleanser is my holy grail cleanser! It’s lovely isn’t it?
My favourite skincare of all time though is the allies of skin vitamin c, just love it.
Favourite makeup item would be benefit roller liner in black, doesn’t budge, super fine and flexible but easily controllable felt tip nib and jet black. Love it.

Honourable mention to Elemis overnight matrix but I only ever used to buy at my gym which used it and I got a 10% discount with my spa membership but they no longer use Elemis Sad

@OverByYer

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
I love it too!

Oskia vitamin c capsules. I have quite dry skin and it is quite oily which suits me. Just noticeable difference, smoother, clearer. On offer at Skincity right now too...And each one lasts me 2/3 days...

Kiko lipstick cheap but brill colour selection

CookieDoughKid · 15/11/2021 21:42

Hands down, Dermatica. Has taken years off my face, brightened and smoothed my complexion. Here are some before and after photos. I am wearing no foundation in both. I have a referral code if you want a discount. I'm not selling but can't recommend it highly enough. This is after 6 months treatment. Before photos.

Basically I had sun damage melasma and sunspots. Also had fine wrinkles. . Both have been ironed out and although my skin wasn't bad before , it is now in excellent shape and I'm 45.

BringMeTea · 15/11/2021 21:54

Wow! Your skin is luminous @CookieDoughKid.

MustBeDueSomeBetterFeet · 15/11/2021 21:58

@cookiedoughkid

Yes please for the referral code!

MustBeDueSomeBetterFeet · 15/11/2021 22:01

Sorry got derailed there...

Environ hydrating clay masque is for the truly lazy amongst us which is why it appealed to me. Whack it on at bedtime and in the morning my skin is exfoliated and hydrated.

Wizzbangfizz · 15/11/2021 22:13

@CookieDoughKid what products of theirs do you use? Tempted by the free trial to order...

Courtier · 15/11/2021 22:14

Makeup - Jillian Dempsey cream blush. It adds colour without powderiness and one tiny pot has lasted me over 2 years.

Skincare - a tough one, but probably the Goldfaden bright eyes (such a soothing texture) or Glow Recipe Avocado Mask (again soothing).

Courtier · 15/11/2021 22:16

Oh and L'Oréal Superliner. I can do perfect eyeliner even in a car or on a bus.

WhatMattersMost · 15/11/2021 22:18

Dermatica here too.

And Dermalogica's Sound Sleep Cocoon gel-cream.

NotStayingIn · 15/11/2021 22:25

Ultrasun Tinted Anti-Pigmentation SPF50+ face lotion. I wear it instead of foundation day to day and it always looks great and takes one sec to apply. I do wear a non spf thick moisturiser underneath, but I have very dry skin.

keffie12 · 15/11/2021 22:27

I can't do just one! I love and use Dernalogica, Charlotte Tilbury, Bobby Brown and YSL. Those 4 are the main of all my skincare and makeup products

NotStayingIn · 15/11/2021 22:27

@cookiedoughkid Your skin looks beautiful!

TheChosenTwo · 15/11/2021 22:30

@CookieDoughKid your skin looks beautiful in both your before AND after photos, I can’t see any difference!!
