Hi there! ;-)
I'm planning on a rather large purge of my toiletries - & a complete ban on allowing myself to buy any until I have used all the body lotions, potions & perfumes in baskets/basins/washbags......
But, I also wanted to share the item's I am currently using on a daily basis (or usually do - at the moment I have no need or desire to be bothered with anything other than an underarm roll on and a squirt of perfume!) ;-0
I've gone back to Dermalogica (always do) for my facewash, toner and moisturiser. It definitely is 'the one' for my skin. Keeping it clear yet moisturised. Plus a little goes a long way. I buy at my local college for discounts of 20% over salons/on line.
Currently using the Olive range from the The Body Shop for my bod! ;-) Lovely clean smell, I've also started to use and exfoliating sponge with the body wash.
To give some body to my thin, fine hair I use L'oreal Matt & Messy and then zap my hair upside down with my hairdryer.
Cheap eye make-up remover from Boots - effective enough for me!!
I really dislike foundation, much preferring tinted moisturiser, particularly Laura Mercier, which if it's a night out I will layer twice for slightly more coverage, Bobbi Brown blusher on my cheeks.
Boots eye liner in navy and any mascara on offer, although Benefit 'They're Real is fabulous!
The Elemis Flash Balm does add luminosity beneath my tinted moisturiser - it's a sample, but again a little goes a long way and having seen the effect on my skin I would consider buying :-)
Face mask for me is a weekly essential, no particular fondness to any but Mud Packs are cheap enough and you can get two sessions from one.
I still add Gradual Tan to my legs for the days when I'm in shorts for running (tend to get red hot when I run).
My Clarisonic - Must use more!!! My skin is so noticeably different when I do but I'm just a bit lazy!! I have bought 2 new heads from Amazon soooooo no excuse!!
I'm also having a purge. Although I'd class myself as low maintenance, I do buy products to try. I've been using a cheap foaming cleanser from Boots and at 51 I've still got spots! I've used Clarins, Clinique, Kiehls, etc but have decided to use up my huge supply of Liz Earle cleanse and polish. Am on day 3 now but I do find it a faff! I don't really use moisturiser apart from a bit around my eye sockets to minimise creases. I hate foundation as it makes my skin feel greasy so I just use a bit of concealer where needed. I do use a really good pore minimiser on my nose - Instant Perfector by Clinique and it really does hide pores. Don't wear blusher, a bit of eyeliner and mascara (both currently Liz Earle ). Lipstick is a sheer one by No 7 as I don't like the solid colours - I always feel like a transvestite if I've got bright lips ha ha! Perfume is any that I've received as presents. Today's is Clarins eau dynamiste but am not keen on it. Hair wise I'm desperate for a cut having not had one for nearly a year. Have been growing out layers and am now ready for a simple chin length bob as I find bobs easy for me. Any shampoo is fine on my hair as long as I use conditioner as it's fine and I have to wash it daily due to grease and looking like a mad woman when just out of bed! Body wash is any really - presently using up a sanctuary one that was in the sale at £ 1 a bottle so I stocked up. Deodorant is Sure spray as I like it to be dry straight away. Manicures and pedicures I do myself. I've let my eyebrows grow back a bit and this has removed the need for so much plucking. Oh dear! I thought I was low maintenance! ! I've got a 2yr old granddaughter and a 3 mth old granddaughter and the 2yr old loves nothing better than getting in my make up basket!

It's really good to see what products others use and what they think of them. I have used YSL false lash effect mascara for ages but used Benifit for a change and found it really good. I have used every cleanser ever made but think Liz Earles Cleanse and Polish is the best. I could go on and on but I won't !!!!! Think that I might try the Elemis flash balm . XXXX
