Amazing night cream - bakuchiol is a non-irritating version of retinol that smoothes skin, plus the cream has soothing actives, ceramides and peptides to boost the skin barrier and just the right amount of lavender scent
EQQUALBERRY Bakuchiol Plumping Capsule Cream 50ml
Followed rave reviews and worth every penny! SPF is so important to me. This goes on light and dewy and acts like glue holding my makeup in place. I retired my primer. Even with a higher price tag, I saved money not trying lots of dud products and us...
Ultra Violette Future Fluid SPF50+ Superlight Mineral Skinscreen ...
Always pleased when an affordable product turns out to be a good one! The caffeine eye cream really soothes and brightens around the eyes, I really feel like I need less concealer. I'm so glad I added it to my routine (and elf always have free gifts ...
Bright + Brew-tiful Eye Cream
Super clean ingredients yet SUPER effective! I like the spray format, it smells nice and light and dries quickly, but they have a solid too. Honestly the most effective antiperspirant and deodorant I've used and without the nasty aluminium! In love
Salt of the Earth Spray Deodorant
Makeup
The best good coverage foundation I've found at drug store prices. I tried lots, even Nars, and this goes on more natural, lasts longer, and I would have thought it was full coverage, it is great (as someone with visible veins and dark under eyes). T...
L'Oreal Infallible
Benefit never disappoints and is worth the extra money in my opinion. Their mascaras last me ages and I love the curled fluttery effect of this one. I only have this one mascara at a time.
Roller Lash Curling Mascara
This is such a handy product for that natural, no-makeup look but it's easy to build up the colour for more impact. I love the subtle shimmer and the peach shade for my pale skin. It also makes a lovely eyeshadow which is rare in a blush! Also it's i...
Monochromatic Multi-Use Blush Stick
This is the only "expensive" foundation that's been worth the money for me. It's high coverage yet natural, easy to apply, and wears allll day. They have so many shades it's so hard not to find a match! Plus if it doesn't match, they'll give you a vo...
Foundation Makeup
This primer is super high performance for a low price point and rivals smashbox easily! It definitely evens skin and keeps makeup on longer. If you're not keen on a primer, check out my SPF rec that has become a multipurpose replacement in my routine...
L'Oreal Paris Infallible Priming Base | Make Up
For me lip products have to be practical, natural and easy to apply without a mirror throughout the day. This is it. It has a lovely shine and colour that you can apply light and natural or build and leave lips hydrated instead of dry. I've bought th...
Lip Gloss | Lip Lacquers, Lasting Hydration
Scent
My go-to fragrance at the moment. Vanilla without being overly sickly and after 1.5 years I'm still not bored of it.
Goddess Burberry perfume
Incredible, expensive smelling perfume that's a near-perfect dupe for a very affordable price. I recommend this site as a whole but this one is my favourite! Loads of my friends like it too.
