Essential beauty products - What are your bathroom must haves?

Palmers cocoa butter for my body and bodyshop mature skin moisturiser in the gold jar for my face. Worked a lot of years in the beauty industry and this cream is the best ive found, for £18 a jar it beats the otheres hands down.
 
For me its:

Perfume: CK in2u HER

Hair bits: Catwalk "Fashionista" Shampoo and also the Conditioner
BedHead styling products (different ones depending on what look I want!)

Body/shower: Body Shop mandarin shower gel- mmmm so yummy I could eat it!
Palmers cocoa butter firming body lotion- again, yummy!

Face products: Superdrug MASK (aloe vera is nicest)
Clinique moisturiser
Clarins radiant something or other (goes under your make up for radiant skin)

Make-up bag:
Prescriptives Anywear Multifinish Foundation (buy it from outlet stores cheaper than normal! so light but fab coverage, you wouldnt know you were wearing it and matches all skintones)
MAC mineral blush (gives you a natural pink shimmery glow for cheeks, nose, t-zone and chin)
MAC eyeshadows (millions of different ones)
Rimmel liquid eyeliner
L'oreal Telescopic waterproof mascara
Lancome juicy tubes lip glosses
 
Molton Brown shower gel especially the Blissful Templetree or Heavenly Gingerlily.

Simple cleansing wipes.

Pair of tweezers

My old and bashed Revlon Air Styler
 
Creme de la mer moisturiser - it's around £100 for the pot but it lasts about 6 months. My skin has never been as good as it is now, and I have very sensitive skin and psoriasis.

Benefit EyeCon eye cream - dark circles just dissapear.

N-Spa shower gel - a bit of a copy cat of Philosophy gels but just £2 each, they smell amazing and you get a huge bottle of thick luxurious wash!

Benefit - Bad Gal eyeliner and mascara. Perfect smudgy black for smoky eyes and fat lashes :)

Vaseline - Perfect for taming eyebrows, rubbing into cuticles, great lipbalm, adding sheen to cheek bones .... perfect!

YSL Touche Eclat - makes dark circles vanish!

Too Faced Lip Injection - Painful to apply but the most amazing bee stung lips. It's so good my family thought i'd had collagen injected!!!!

Hi everyone...I always use the 'Simple' range of cleansing lotion,and the Simple Rich Moisturising Cream.. as I have sensitive eyes,and this range can be used around the eyes with no problems,no stinging or anything, I also use Simple soap on my face every morning ( in fact, its only used on my face alone, as its the only one that doesnt make my face feel tight and dry, so, I keep it for myself, and just use it once a day on a morningm then I tuck it away on a soap holder under the bathroom unit ( so no one else can pinch it !) You'd laugh if you knew just how long a bar of soap can last !! its unbelievable..

too good to waste on anywhere else but my face..

w....
 
I couldn't live without (well I probably could but I'd rather not):

Annabelle Skintrue foundation - covers up just about anything
Blistex lip balm - the minty one, preferably
Rimmell Stay Matte pressed powder
Maybelline Colossal mascara - fantastic stuff

Bed Head after party - smells like heaven, always used to get complimented on it. Sleaks your hair and gives it a nice, shiny finish and helps keep it straight. Truly amazing, a bottle lasted me a year and a half

ArmaniMania perfume - also smells divine

A hair straightener, I'd be so moody without one.

Vitamin E - helps to give you good skin, I really notice it when I stop taking it.

Haha, I feel so superficial and girly now :D
