I have more!
How on earth could I have ever forgotten Illamasqua’s Box red lippy? Its my HG red lippy.
Plus my nails will cry if I don’t mention Zoom nail eat & drink treatments. Actually managed to make my nails grow using this stuff 🙂
NARS Illuminating Foundation gives a rosy golden glow at any time of year.
omg there is so much I cant live without! The list is sooo long. But if I had to pick two it would have to be:
Rapidlash – makes my lashes grow so long.
and Seche Vite (has been such a life saver when doing my nails)
http://miss-lv.blogspot.com/
Wow! Some list. For me, Liz Earle C&P, Origins First Class mask, Phytobotanica rose & frankicense moisturiser, Eucerin hyaluron filler concentrate (if you’re an over-40 BBB reader I can’t recommend this highly enough as a serum to use on it’s own or under moisturiser. Non-greasy, absorbs beautifully, does what it says on the tin), and finally regular lash tints.
May I also add a big thank you to Avene skincare. My 22 year old daughter is hypersensitive and that brand is a lifesaver for her.
A great post! I would probably add Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation. Also fond of EL Eyelash Primer.
What a brilliant idea and what a fantastic list!
My desert island can’t live withouts are vaseline, Bodh Shop Hemp handcream and Kanebo 38 degree mascara.
Happy New Year xx
This is such a great idea! You should make it a regular slot on your blog.
Ooh had to scratch my head for this one!
1. Young & Pure Eye Make Up Remover
2. Karin Herzog Vita-A-Kombi 3 spot zapper
3. Varama Cover Cream
4. e.l.f Mineral Booster in Tinted
Hope you had a wonderful xmas and have a great New Year!
Great post and loads of things I will have to try!
My new find was Benefit Sugarbomb – I always used their Georgia powder and either the Benetint stain or another blusher – Sugarbomb is like a powder, bronzer and blusher all in one. It has four colours I use it all over then focus the brush on half of the tub to use it as blush!!!

Loved reading everyone else’s posts! But don’t Twitter as it’s just one more thing to do…..my list as follows (after EXTENSIVE testing of just about everything – I would SO love your job!):
Liz Earle C&P
Lancome Virtuose Mascara
Seche Vite and OPI Nail Envy
MAC Fluidline Gel Eyeliner
Lancome Teint Miracle – fab new foundation
Christian Dior concealer (a BBB fave, I know)
Kerastraight permanent blow dry (on my third treatment! No more frizzies for me!)
Kerastraight Straight Maitain Conditioner – best ever conditioner
Lancome Genefique serum – loving what it does to my skin
Need to keep working to pay for it all, but it’s a good motivator…
