Essential beauty products - What are your bathroom must haves? - MiniMins.com

Chika · 19th June, 2007

Hi Everyone

As we are all here loosing weight, I think its mega important that we also take good care of ourselves too. Beauty products are one of my favourite things in the world and i've tried a fair few!

This thread can be a place where we post our fave beauty products and let the world know about them. They don't have to be mega expensive, they should just work really well.

Ok so I'll go first. The one thing I never leave my house without is Carmex lip balm. Its a miracle in a pot, if your lips are chapped it fixes that and it gives you a nice gloss without being gloopy.

My next essential is Elizabeth Arden's ceramide time complex capsules. These look bizzare but when you open them up they contain a face lift in liquid form. Nothing stops me looking rough like these things!

Anything Lush product - love em!!!

Amanda (Loopy) · 19th June, 2007

Carmex.....

More heaven in a pot than miracle in a pot to me....just love the smell and taste

But then I am a lipsyl junkie!!!

Im quite pleasantly surprised by Avon. I bought some stuff recently and its all really smartly packed now compared to what it was before. Pretty well priced too

natayou · 20th June, 2007

I love products too, wy best friend and I call it comfort shopping , lol

i love no7 protect and perfect serum its brilliant
also love garnier summer body moisturising lotion for dark skin....again brilliant
avon quick touch leave in conditioner, now renamesd and repackaged but its still the same thing
love love love kerastase hair products but only when hubby has a good pay cheque haha

oooh and couldnt live without johnsons baby lotion, i use it for everything from hair smoothing to leg creaming to make up removal

flirty40greeneyes · 20th June, 2007

Virgin Vie cleanser, toner and moisturiser - really impressed with how good it feels and smells.

Mrs Pink · 20th June, 2007

I am fanatical about ROC eye cream - have been using it for years - I have virtually NO undereye lines and I'm 41! Also love protect and perfect - been using for 5 weeks now and do see a difference! The best handcream in the world has got to be Occitane shea butter - expensive at £12 a tube but it lasts for ever ...... have just discovered M&S fake tan - the lighter shade is great for blondes - its cheap - and looks really natural.

Amanda (Loopy) · 20th June, 2007

No 7 Intelligent Colour foundation!!

Best, smoothest foundation I've ever found!

Ultra glow bronzing powder...hate being pasty!! Been using it for 20 years...Not the same pot obviously lol

EllieG · 8th July, 2007

I'm a bit of a Dr Hauschka fan so most of those products, but number one would be the Quince cream - I love the smell

b_girl · 10th July, 2007

My fave beauty products are Johnson's baby oil was which leaves my skin super-soft and Palmer's Cocoa Butter which smells GORGEOUS and helps minimise my stretchmarks~ what's not to love?!

b_girl · 10th July, 2007

Sorry, that should be Johnson's baby oil body wash

I'm a terrible typer! Hehe

Completely agree, after trying loads of different foundations, cheap to extortionate, this is by far the best!!
