Everyday Essentials

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 don't wear much make-up but have recently started to wear eye liner - this was after being the tramp I am I went to work without having removed my make-up from the night before and getting LOADS of compliments, so, I try to repeat that smoky eye look, haha!

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!!
Perfume. Currently a few on the go, but my favourite of all time hands down is Dune. I actually feel sassy when wearing it lol! It's the one I replace myself, which says a lot!


I'd love to know what products consistently make your 'Everyday Essentials'.
Wish me luck with my purge!!
