So for me : products that work

  • Kiehls Crème de Corps dry body oil or Bio Oil (I use both as a face moisturiser/serum too)
  • Rimmel foundation or Erborian BB cream
  • Rimmel exaggerate liquid liner (been using it for years and years and years)
  • Treclin (needs prescription but is great stuff)
  • Kiko nude eyeshadow stick
  • Tesco Keronics hair glossing serum (super cheap and really good)
  • Bourjois Docteur Glamour lipstick (discontinued but on ebay)
  • St Tropez gradual tinted tan which was discontinued but on ebay

I’d like recommendations for

  • a great black mascara that doesn’t budge, waterproof and doesn’t smudge under my eye
  • an amazing conditioner
  • any others!

Rimmel lasting finish lipstick in Rock n Roll nude. Struggling to get that now it's discontinued. I have a few tubes and a few to dig out.

I'll stop there, I'll be here all night!

Products I repeat buy:

Inkey List oat cleansing balm, and HA
Cerave moisturiser with SPF 50
Chanel oil cleanser - I use this in the morning and the IL at night
Nutrogena fragrance free body lotion
Lisa Eldridge foundation
Refectocil lash tint and brow tint

I’d like a great primer as I reach the dregs of my best beloved Smashbox that I got muled over from the US now they are out of the UK. I’d also like a really good tuning mascara that has a bit more oomph than the one I currently use which is fine but not fab.
