I know these threads are done a lot but I love to see people's absolute favourite, best-of-it's-kind products.

The things where you've tried loads and then find one and it's so good that you declare it the BEST EVER.

Skincare, makeup, hair care, whatever...

I'll go first...

Mascara - Hourglass Caution Extreme Lash Mascara. Recent purchase, I bloody love it. Really buildable. Great length and volume and it doesn't make me a panda even with my very oily skin

Foundation - Nars light reflecting foundation. Another recent find for me, great for skin that's started to get fine lines and wrinkles. Feels light on the skin but gives medium coverage.

Lip tint - Benetint. Have used now for probably 25 years since I was a late teen.

Lipsticks - Chantecaille Lip Veil and Laura Mercier Rouge Essential. Both creamy and hydrating but really pigmented and last surprisingly well given they're not tagged as 'long lasting'

Have heard good things about Nars Powermatte for a non-transfer long lasting and have one arriving tomorrow!

Morning skincare - I've just started using REN Flash Hydro Boost and I've never tried anything like it. You massage a little water in after and my skin is so plump and youthful looking afterwards...I don't believe it's doing much in terms of long lasting effects but the daily pay off is worth it alone

Dermatica - prescription strength evening skincare bespoke to your skin concerns. Mine is for ageing, a little acne (still...at 40) and scars from spots/sun spots/general texture and dullness. Have been using for a month and already good progress on texture, radiance, spots and pigmentation. The tretinoin takes a while to make a difference to the existing lines but all of the befores/after a, reviews are amazing

I have more for later but need to go do a tidying whirlwind before the cleaner arrives!

My must haves are.

  • garnier miscellar water with a reusable make up pad
  • wileda moisturiser
  • retinol, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide are mt skin go to every day
  • garnier hair mask once a week
  • benefit mascara
  • Carmel lip moisturiser
  • Tesco coconut hair shampoo and conditioner is a good send.

The rest I don't have set products I change things up with my make up xx

Wow, I can’t believe how much stuff you guys buy. 🤔

Can't you? Perhaps you're not trying hard enough as I can easily imagine buying shit loads more stuff than I already buy.

Wow, I can’t believe how much stuff you guys buy.

I subscribe to two beauty boxes. For <£25 I receive 11 products through the post every month. I give away some (black eyeliners, hand cream, body lotions) and enthusiastically trial the rest. I LOVE getting the boxes, it’s like two lovely presents coming through the post every few weeks.
