My go to sun-cream. I like to stick to the same skincare brand for a lot of my products and this is perfect. I prefer spray on but they also do the liquid one.
La Roche-Posay Anthelios Invisible Anti-Shine Mist Sunscreen SPF50 75ml
I also highly recommend using their after-sun. It's so soothing on the skin after a day in the sun and on burns. Sometimes they also give you a free one of these if you buy the sun-cream.
La Roche Posay Anthelios Post-UV Exposure After-Sun Lotion 200ml
My go-to cleanser. I use it everyday and highly recommend.
La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser for Oily ...
I also use this exfoliator every morning. Don't need to use a lot, as a little bit goes a long way with this brand.
La Roche-Posay Effaclar Clarifying Lotion 200ml
They have a lot of different moisturisers for different skin types so make sure you get the one for you. This is my personal favourite as it works best with my acne-prone skin.
La Roche-Posay Effaclar MAT+ Moisturiser Oily Skin 40ml
I've only recently started using this but it's a good, cheap option. I struggle with rings around my eyes and this product has really helped so far.
Simple Hydrating Eye Gel
I feel like lips are a forgotten piece of the skincare routine and I often forget to put Vaseline on. I always try to carry some around with me because it's so important to keep the lips hydrated.

I used to use a lot of makeup but I realised that it flared up my acne and stopped using any makeup for years. Recently I've just done the bare minimum and I'm letting you know what.
I personally love the Maybelline mascara range. It's very affordable and works well. My eyelashes always look good using this.
Maybelline | Mascara
This lip gloss is so cheap and makes your lips look full and shiny. You can get it in so many different colours. I never go on a night out without it!
Lip Gloss Pumps & Sets | Penneys IE
One of my friends has this and omg, we all steal it on her before every night out. It's amazing, I couldn't recommend more. Need to buy my own one.
Illuminating Bronzing Powder
I don't use fake tan as much as I used to, but when I do, it's always this one. It applies very well and doesn't smell as bad as other tans. Also doesn't show up orange.
