Charlotte Tilbury beautiful skin foundation.
This is MY new favorite foundation: Light sheer but get good coverage. Looks dewy. Good on my skin because I am not 35 ! It gets better as the day goes on. I buy two at a time. And now there is a two for one sale ! Woo Hoo. Best thing is that’s it’s great for travel because it’s in a 30ml tube so easy to toss in your bag . I use neutral 6 and I love it.

Emma Lewisham Reset
Just recently been using this but I love it. Evens Skin Tone. Enhances Complexion. Improve Pigmentation. That’s what I want. Highly recommended by so many of FiFi Followers. It’s full of goodness. And I like her sustainability angle.

Embryolisse
The best moisturizer. Best price. Actually sinks into those wrinkles instead of sitting on the skin not doing anything. It’s called “The cult French skincare product that is known as the 24hr Miracle Cream”! Bring it on !

The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid
I think it works ! It’s something you put on after serums. And appears to make the skin plumper. That’s what I think and I am sticking to it. And for that price it’s a winner.

Ultraviolette lightweight sunscreen
It’s a fabulous every day serum 50+ sunscreen ! I use this ( a teeny dollop) mixed in with my foundation and it gives you a dewy look and you get sun protection too. And I use the waterproof one for swimming! The best .

Skinstitut cleanser
Love it . Not too harsh. Does the trick. Leaves skin feeling clean but not dry. Seems to get all the hardcore makeup off.

Roche Posay B5
This is another fabulous moisterizer. I alternate between this and embryolisse. Rich, sinks in, so good. Can’t recommend it more..I buy two at a time. Not expensive. Good for travel as small

Paula’s choice Vitamin C super booster.
It’s so good. Have to say I’ve been using for about 6 months and my skin is so much better. A little lasts a long time. My beauty obsessed friend says this is the best Vitamin C out there. I agree (and a good price too).

MediK8 Peptides
It’s another serum that I love to use on the battle ground of aging skin ! It’s a multi-peptide complex targeted at fine lines, wrinkles and elasticity. Apparently replenishing hydration at every level. I think so ! When you don’t use Botox or any fillers ( maybe I need to)( a bit scared to!) then you need all the help you can get.

Hermes lipstick
It’s the perfect color: Rose Encens 18. here’s the thing you buy the refill ! It’s expensive at first but who doesn’t love anything Hermes? It’s a lot less expensive than a Birkin ! Ha . It’s beautiful and sheer and I love it .

Mac eye primer 
It keeps your eyeshadow in place. I can swim it it haha. Watch a sad movie. Your eyeshadow will not MOVE. Last for about a year. It’s a morale worker as I have really oily lids and nothing would ever stay put.

Bobbi brown brow pencil.
I buy the refill. In bulk. In Mahogany. It is the best. Stays on, looks natural, easy to apply and has a dingy brush to fix brows.

Benefit mascara FanFest
It’s waterproof but comes off easily . Doesn’t clump too much. It does give good long lashes. I’m obsessed with mascara and this is one of the best I’ve tried.

Laura Mercier eye crayon
Love this as I am always in a hurry as it’s so quick and easier to apply than eyeshadow. It stays on. It’s smooth. It’s the best. I use the colour cocoa or a brown. SO easy to apply ( and if I muck up I can easily blend it).

YSL touche éclat
The original and the best highlighter/concealer. The pen tip is so easy to apply on tiny areas that need cover. They say “Full night’s sleep at the click of a pen” haha I think they might be right. Worth the money.

MAC strobe
It’s an illuminator and a dollop just adds a little subtle glow. In good light. But not scary over the top streaks!

YSL lipstick
It’s not cheap but it’s now 20% off and it’s glossy and glamorous. It stays on ( as much as any lipstick can) in that it stains the lips a little. It’s chic and perfect to whip out of your  bag. Go for nude lingerie : haha true. That’s the name.

Hermes nail polish
Yes, it’s expensive but we all need a treat sometimes. Plus it stays on and on and on. Doesn’t chip , great color ( the only colour in my wardrobe haha) and is super tremendous in cost per wear!

Waleda skin food
It is heavy duty sticky gooey cream that sinks right in to the wrinkles. SO good. But more of a first thing in morning cream or at night as it’s so rich. Great price, last forever, can use on your body too. What’s not to love ?

Aesop scrub : It’s got grit ! Need a little but it’s a good exfoliator. Lasts for a year. Smells lovely. Been using for years.

Chanel Handcream: A little bit of luxury in your handbag! How gorgeous is the egg shape packaging ? It fits in your hand and so chic to use. A great Christmas present
