Dear All,

What is the one thing you have brought that has revolutionised your life...

Mine was my wet and dry epilator. I am nearly hair free!

What could you not be without!

I use Boots curl creme. It comes in a clear pot and is pink. Costs less than £2 a jar and is as good as any other (more expensive) ones I have tried.

TheCongaLineOfTruth · 05/10/2009 18:27

GHDs

Bobbi Brown cream blusher

That's two.

MrsBlennerhasset · 05/10/2009 18:31

I knew there'd be a pedant here somewhere!

on a very serious note, my must have is laura mercier tinted moisturiser.

MrsBlennerhasset · 05/10/2009 18:34

and a dishwasher

mazzystartled · 05/10/2009 18:36

a very good moisturiser

touche eclat

decent tweezers

tulpe · 05/10/2009 18:50

oh yes, decent tweezers are a must.

Chanel Vitalumiere foundation for winter; Chanel tinted moisturiser for summer & skiing

Aromatherapy Associates Renew facial oil. Tis gorgeous-skin-heaven in a bottle.

Simple face scrub & face masks. Cheap as chips but very good.

FlameWithTooManyHormones · 05/10/2009 19:11

Another for decent tweezers. I love the way that everyone seems to like different shaped tweezers to everyone else too...

tulpe · 05/10/2009 19:15

IKWYM Flame. Everyone raves about Tweezermans but I couldn't get on with them at all. Have a nice and cheap blunt ended pair from Boots

WailingGhoshe · 05/10/2009 19:29

ST Ives Apricot scrub, use it every morning in the shower, have for a long time.

Proper fitting bra.

Oh god yes to proper fitting bra.

I still haven't seen or tried tweezerman tweezers - i'm very intrigued by them, and worried that I can be very intrigued by tweezers

RubiMama · 06/10/2009 11:32

Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish

Nars Bronzer in Laguna

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser in summer and Chanel Teint Innocence Foundation in Winter

La Roche Posay mascara is the ONLY one I've ever found that doesn't flake off and give me dark circles.

Sourdough · 06/10/2009 11:42

Sensifluid cleanser
Neutrogena tinted moisturiser with SPF30
Lip balm
Dove invisible deodorant

I'm pretty low maintenance these days.

cruelladepoppins · 06/10/2009 12:07

Nads hair removal wand for the face. (Hirsute mediterranean type.) Quick and effective. I even shape my eyebrows with it.

For clothes, Uniqlo Heat Tech. Have 6 tops and 2 leggings now. (Work in c-o-l-d office.) Best things I ever bought.

Sunshinemummified · 06/10/2009 12:23
