Advantages: I am a self confessed beauty junkie so have tried most products out there!!
Disadvantages: Not all my make-up bag will fit in to 10!! :-)
I am new to dooyoo and absolutely love the fact there is a site like this!!!!!!!! Ok, I am a serial beauty addict! Anything that promises to make me more beautiful I will try it! My top ten are:
1. Beauty comes from within (so plenty of water, fresh fruit and veg and exercise!) although a partied up lifestyle can be hidden well with make-up haha!!!
2. Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat (Radiant Touch) - this is my little magic wand!!!!! This is a miracle pen for those late nights (and early mornings!) this is used by all the celebs and is easy to see why! It disguises the heaviest bags under your eyes and is great as a base for eyeshadow and making your lips look bigger too!
3. Lipbalm - I cannot survive without lipbalm! I get through pots and pots of the stuff - my favourite is vaseline (the aloe vera one). The original and the best! Really leaves lips soft and not sticky.
4. Johnsons Baby Lotion (and any of the range in fact!) - I have sensitive skin so have to be very careful what I use but the baby range is fantastic for leaving skin clean, fresh & soft! I use the baby wipes to take off my make-up, the softlotion mist as a spray-on moisturiser straight after my shower (or the baby lotion itself) and the baby oil is great to prevent peeling after tanning. And all at fantastic cheap prices!!
5. Urban Decay eyeshadows - these are fab!!! Soo glittery, funky colours and fantastic packaging! These are quite expensive but sooo worth it! Urban Decay also does a eyeshadow primer which is a little potion you glide over eyes before applying eyeshadow to make the colour last and prevents creasing (especially important when using cream eyeshadows!) Due to the price of these I usually put a pallette with lots of colours in on my christmas list then that will last you at least 6 months!
6. Benefit Hollywood Glow Shimmer - This stuff is amazing! A pot is quite expensive but lasts for ages! It is a shimmer block in a tin with a powder puff that you sweep over bare skin (face, cleavage, legs etc) before a night out for lightly glistening skin that smells gorgeous and it also gives it a hint of bronze. This makes your skin look and smell gorgeous!
7. L'Oreal Purezone Moisturiser - My skin is a combination of sensitive, oily and uneven skin due to acne as a teenager! I normally cannot use moisturiser on my skin as it gives me breakouts! However this one I tried as it is advertised especially for skin prone to spots! I have been using this for a month now and already my skin feels smoother and appears much clearer with less spots! I am impressed!
8. Tweezerman Eyelash Curlers - These are little beautys!! If you heat them up slightly with a hairdryer before using (just check they are not too hot first!) these make your eyelashes super curly!!
9. Privashave - As I said, I suffer from extremely sensitive skin and previously I would really suffer from skin irritation after shaving. Especially around the bikini area. This stuff is a godsend! You apply a thin layer after shaving (it stings slightly for a second) and voila - no more ingrown hairs or nasty shaving rashes!! This is difficult to get hold of - i get mine on the net - and it's a bit pricey but a bottle lasts a good 6 months (especially if you are only using on the bikini area)
10. Benefit Playsticks Foundation (Tea Party) - My skin is not the best, I have scarring from acne and am prone to spots so a good base is essential for me. The best foundation I ever tried was a Chanel stick but unfortunately they discontinued it! This is the closest I have come to finding a replacement! The great thing with this stick is it contains tea tree oil which actually helps clear up spots whilst covering them at same time! Nice chunky stick is dead easy to apply, lasts ages and is a perfect coverage! Only downside is the price !!
Summary: These products are likely to change as I keep trying new stuff! As I said I am an addict haha

Skyedame - 19/04/06 I'm with you on the Touche Eclat! Best of the lot. It's just the right consistency whereas other brands tend to 'cake' - even the expensive ones. |
