What's your all-time favourite/most effective beauty product?

[naturelover]

Mine is Dermalogica Precleanse. Actually Dermalogica products have changed my life. I'd always had bad skin, now it's pretty amazing.

I'd love a good shampoo/conditioner recommendation.

dermatologica daily microfoliant

Estee lauder idealist

Clinique dramatically different lotion

E. arden 8 hour cream

they do cleanse an polish at john lewis now. lovely and dead cheap as meant to be as good as ultra expensive eve lom

chipo

I get my dermalogica from ebay.

I just ordered some of that cleanse and polish stuff as you are all raving about it, hope it's good!

wig and sunglasses

I bought 8 hour cream as everyone raves about it and am mightily disappointed - all it can do is tame my eyebrows! I tried it overnight and looked like an oil slick the next day. Plus the smell is rank.

Fave product is Dream Cream by Lush. Yum!

milkmoustache you just prompted me to recommend this for taming eyebrows, it's fab!

Vaseline for my lips. Apply it all day long and am lost without it.

Nivea soft.

I am currently using the children's Halos N Horns shampoo and conditioner - no parabens or sodium laureth sulphate - and I've had SO many compliments about my hair! Feels v soft and gorgeous.

You can get it in Tesco and it's v cheap. The body wash is lovely too.

Touche Eclat. Always and forever.

with all the touche eclat'ers here. really is a must have.

monkey trousers - i'd second ultrabland. fantastic stuff. gets so much london grime out of my face and keeps it so soft, which is a miracle for my flakey patchy face.

estee lauder's idealist gets a second vote for me here. insane how good that stuff is. people comment... like my DH asks if i'm wearing slap, or i remember when i just got it and my sis --not knowing - started gushing about how good my skin had got.

and finally.... cant recommend highly enough prescriptives traceless. it's a skin tint, apparently, basically a light foundation. best base i have ever used.

When i can afford it my favourite products are -

YSL - mascara - great stuff (also lancome, but since using YSL, have become a believer!)

MAC lipstick - favourite colour Brave or Desire

Clarins foundation

Tri-Aktiline wrinkle filler. Real magic.

Not tried both soz. What's the ingredients to Lz Earle? Great thing about Ultrabland is that it has no mineral oils, perfumes, etc, so no irritants.

I'd also recommend using a muslin cloth with ultrabland, not the cotton wool as it says on the tub.

I am currently using Logona Age Protection Anti Wrinkle Fluid and it really seems to be having a positive effect... you can get the range from Spirit of Nature. I've had no breakouts since using it, either.

Might have to have a look at the Liz Earle stuff after all these recommendations.

I'm a big fan of No7 Protect and Perfect. I had quite a furrow between my eyebrows and lines on my forehead which are all but gone since I started using it. My mum commented on how young I was looking (she didn't know I was using anything new, and isn't given to complimenting willynilly) so it must be good stuff.

Got to say though that the single best thing I ever did for my skin was pack up smoking (but that wasn't the question was it?)

Chanel indomitable (i think) mascara.

lengthens, curls and NO clogging. is the best mascara i've ever owned by a country mile (thanks to my sis who go it for me for xmas!)

I bloody hate Touche Eclat! Its a tube of broken promises. You clearly dont have dark circles like mine. too little, useless, enough, look bizare. am I using it wrong?

i've just gone and bought liz earle stuff

Aw, get you all talking about posh stuff and I said I was using kids' shampoo

this therad reminded me to dihg out my cleanse and polish or whatever it's clled today

i ahve to say yes my skin feels softer
