I haven’t done one of these in aaaaaages. In fact the most recent I can find is from April of last year!
I’m really enjoying some of the bits and pieces I’m using to beautify myself with at the moment so I figure I may as well share…
Shampoo: Still loving Kerastase Reflection Bain Chroma Riche. Intended for coloured hair and designed to prevent the dreaded fade, this stuff is heaven in a pink bottle. I have strayed a few times over the last year but I always come back to this range. It’s expensive but oh so good!
Conditioner: Kerastase Reflection Masque Chroma Riche. I adore this, I’m yet to find a conditioner that works as well as this one does for my hair. It’s super thick and creamy and, although on the pricey side, the big tub lasts me a really long time.
Styling Products: I alternate between Redken Outshine 01 anti-frizz polishing milk {which I love}, Aveda Damage Remedy {also lovely} and Lush R&B {amaaaazing and smells completely heavenly}. I’m never without a can of Elnette hairspray and I wouldn’t get very far in life without my beloved Batiste dry shampoo.
Shower Gel: I have a huge bottle of Lush Olive Branch {my favourite} in the shower, as well as a tub of their Creamed Almond and Coconut Smoothie. The smoothie is a really thick, creamy shower soap that leaves my skin incredibly soft.
Body Moisturiser: Lush Dream Cream.
Deodorant: Dove stick. Seems to do the job.
Fake Tan: Very occasionally, St Tropez Gradual Tanner. I use fair and it really is very, very fair. It does remove the blue glow my legs seem to adopt in the summer though. Just about.
Eye Make-Up Remover: Boots Botanics Soothing Eye Make-Up Remover. Always. I love the stuff.
Cleanser: ESPA Hydrating Cleansing Milk. I’ve reviewed this previously here and here.
Toner: ESPA Floral Spa Fresh or Lush Eau Roma Water {the two are very similar and I may just stick with the Lush version when I’ve finished the Espa one because it’s much, much cheaper!}
Moisturiser: Origins VitaZing SPF 15. I have to agree with a lot of the hype surrounding this product. I really love the glow it gives my skin and does a great job of keeping it comfortably hydrated but never greasy.
Foundation: MAC Face and Body in N2. Worn over Prep + Prime Skin and applied with a #187 brush, this gives me what is my idea of perfect skin. I love it.
Powder: MAC MSF Natural.
Concealer: Estee Lauder Double Wear Concealer. Amazing stuff. once it’s on, it doesn’t budge.
Blush: Usually NARS Deep Throat but occasionally MAC Pink Swoon. My loyalty to these two shades really does make me wonder about my rather ample collection of blushers…
Bronzer: I rarely wear the stuff but I still love the Estee Lauder Bronzing Blush that I picked up from the Bronze Goddess collection last summer.
Highlighter: Too many to list here but I do love my Bobbi Brown Shimmer Bricks A LOT.
Eye Shadows: MAC Vex {always} and a lovely quad of neutral shades from Chanel that Mr LA gave me for Christmas {clever boy}.
Mascara: I’ve turned into one of those people that layers 2 different mascaras! It may be extravagant but Max Factor Masterpiece finished off with a little Maybeline One by One Volume Express gives me incredible lashes. Obnoxious even.
Lipstick: Chanel Rouge Allure in Lover or MAC Chatterbox. A perfect red and a perfect pink.
Lip Gloss: I haven’t worn a gloss in a really long time. If I did it would probably be Revlon Super Lustrous Gloss in Coral Reef because its gorgeous.
Nail Colour: Revlon Red. The perfect retro red.
I always enjoy reading these lists myself so be sure to link me up to your own list or reveal a few of your current favourite products in the comments below.

I really want to try the Origins VitaZing. I’m trying to use my current moisturiser up first, but I know I will cave soon. xx
Fabulous, I was going to ask you to do another one of these 🙂
I can confirm that your lashes do indeed look fantastic with that combination…*thinks I need to get my hands on the Maybelline*
I would do one of these posts, but I’m pretty sure nothing has changed…shameful or good I’m not sure?! xxx
@bright Town Girl It’s amazing, you won’t be dissapointed when you eventually give in to temptation! I’ve never used anything like it.
@Laura I really like the mascara combo, I think the Maybelline is on offer in Boots at the mo so might be worth a look.
It’s probably a sign that you use great products if nothing has changed! Do a new one anyway because I’m nosy!

I really enjoyed reading this post!
The ESPA floral range is so lovely, I keep meaning to re purchase, in fact I would like to purchase the entire ESPA range, sadly my bank balance won’t stretch that far.
I bought Revlon Red the other day but haven’t tried it out yet, think I might give it a whirl this week!
@Aimee Glad you enjoyed it. I know ESPA is expensive, I def see it as a treat… an ESSENTIAL treat!! 😉
Hope you love Revlon Red. It’s the colour of the sole of a pair of Louboutins and I adore it.
