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.

Can also recommend the body shop hemp handcream. My hands are really dry but this leaves them feeling really soft.

Clinque dramatically different moisturiser has my vote.

What I really want though is a good eye cream. Something that promises to get rid fo the black shadows under my eyes!

i'm surprised people say clarins stuff smells nice i have the beauty flash balm and the thing i hate abbout it is the vile smell...it smells like old ladies and really repells me..thinking anyone who kisses me is going to smell it

yes the beauty flash balm smells yuk but the moisturiser is lovely

Janite,

The best handcream I have ever used is the Dermalogica Multivitamin one, not greasy at all, v moisturising, and hands still feel soft after being in water, is £ though.

Clarins Beauty Flash Balm every time and YSL Touche Eclait comes a close second but I panic when I come close to running out of Clarins. I love the whole range TBH. The Blue Orchid Face Oil is amazing also.

Thanks Lady. Will probably check out TBS first and see if I can stand the smell or not! Is dermalogica only available online? I feel like I've asked that question before but I can't remember the answer1 I have access to Boots, Selfridges, House of Fraser, debenhams - do you know if any of them do it?

buffy the backside slayer from lush is great for cellulite.

SAADIA, Which shade of that foundation do you use?I bought it cos i saw the girl the Benefit counter wearing it and it looked good on her(how stupid of me!)but im not overally impressed. Dopesnt seem to blend it that well.

virgin Vie Make Up remover that you shake to take off

Virgin vie blue cleanser thing for when I get a bit spotty or oily (once a month thing)

Virgin Vie Blue Bath salts - the BEST hangover cure, and fab if you have a cold or flu - tis a miracle!

Benefit cheek tint

Any Lancome mascara

Lancome version of Touche eclat (works better and doenst pong towards the end).

WATER WATER WATER

oh and Virgin Vie face fake tan stuff, really subtle but makes you look healthier - perfect for this time of year.

carmenelectra I use Volume 5 (am dark-skinned) just a tiny bit on the nose, under the eyes, on cheeks and on forehead. I do use a lot of moisturiser beforehand (Liz Earle) so that probably helps it to blend.

Just gonna look at what my shade is! I to, just put in around nose, chin etc, not full on mask!

Mean, I, TOO.

A tub of aqueous cream. Very very versitile and keeps you moisturised from top to toe.

and it's as cheap as chips

Saadia,

i have got vol 7 and vol 8 of that foundation! Im quite dark too. Vol 7 slightly too pale and vol8 slightly to dark!i need 7.51

Mean 7.5. Typing with one finger, standing up!

yves st laurent matt touch primer and a good foundation brush for evening
