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.

Am I the only one who thought Touche Eclat was no better than the rest of them?

(I have just spent a shed load on some Dermalogica stuff - nigh on a years supply though!)

Vitamin E oil, wonderous stuff.

Lush do a great shampoo 'pattie'. No packaging!

A friedn swears by putting a drop of frankinsernce in her moisturiser at night. For dry/mature skins though I think

sisley emulsion ecologique and rimmel black eye liner

Carmex

Tweezerman tweezers

Origins Never A Dull Moment

Lancome eyeliner.

I'm still looking for the holy grail of hand creams though, so if anybody has any recs I'd appreciate it.

janeite - best hand cream on face of earth is Body Shop's Hemp Hand Protector. Smell takes little getting used to but amazing stuff!

yeah the hemp is good but smells vile

Clarins hand cream is lovely.

Thanks, will have a look at both of those. I am really fussy about handcream and can't use anything that feels in the slightest bit greasy - have tried Clinique (horrible); Boots time delay (okay but not moisturising enough); E45 (vile); Origins (okay but too expensive); various cheapo ones (as expected); Aveeno (nice but the tub is too big for carrying around). Sorry - fussy hands alert.

It does smell lovely Spice - but too expensive for hands

My mum would have used chip fat..in fact I think she did...scratch that

oh and clarins beauty flash balm
lancome flash bronzer for face (v subtle fake tan)

Eyelash curlers

I agree MT, it is hideously expensive. But it is the nicest hand cream I've ever used (but it ought to be I suppose at 12 quid a tube!)

hunker, i bet it is fantastic for hair....if i didn't have prone to dandruff oily hair i'd stop using head and shoulders!

saint tropez

For the Touche Eclat fans now there's new one for the eyelids, rather than the undereye bit which the usual one does. I can't remember what it's called (useful) but I think it's some combination of Touche, Eclat and Eyes...

Kerastace shampoo for sensitised ends and greasy roots. I don't have to wash my hair as much and it lasts for ages.

their hair mask in a pot is good too.

Chanel Teint innocence just the right amount of coverage-nice and natural. Was using Chantecaille real skin but its to blardy expensive and last about 3 applications. Lovely natural shades though.

Cod I would have said St tropez but I realised it has an distinctly orange tint to it in artificial light.

What't it say on the bottle Vulgar? Have googled Kerastace but loads come up.

Kerastase Specifique Bain Divalent - that's the one monkey trousers.

difficult product name to remember!

clarins beauty fluid - jour.......can't remember. Smells lovely and is nice and light.

Also like nougat bath salts and benefit eye bright.

Neutrogena hand cream and thats afetr trying some really expensive ones

YSL mascara

Dermalogica daily microfoliant

Nars foundation and blusher

MAC pigments for eyes

and loads I am a real make up junky!!
