as the title suggests, I want you to recommend 5 products each.
Lush - Aqua mirablis exfoliating bar - my fave ever thing - smells like peanut butter cookies and really exfoliates well. I love this product
ambre solaire - no streaks bronzing spray just bought some of this and tried it. mucho impressed, nice light realistic colour. dries quickly, much easier and quicker to use than a cream.
Gum hair - rehab milk Leave in conditioner. Id buy it just for the smell, even if it didnt work (which it does) makes my hair smell of milk and honey.
Lush - dream cream fabulous for sore or irritated skin. lovely lovely body moisturiser, smells all lavendery
Surgi cream - Brow shapers little eyebrow shaped epilating strips for waxing eyebrows at home. Get them from superdrug. Theyre really good.

:yes:
i use this too and it smells lovely!!
i use a savlon tea tree antiseptic cream which is good for any spots i might get.
then of course a shampoo. i use either charles worthington 'dream hair' (pricey but good!), aussie, got2bsmooth (i think it's called that!) or the pink original source one.
i also use a johnsons cleansing lotion which cleanses, tones and moisturises. also does a very good job of taking make up off.
umm, going to have to come back to the other 2!
Vaseline lip therapy lip balm – Just normal Vaseline but in a cute little tin. It’s good for dry lips but takes forever to soak in.
Neutrogena visibly clear oil free moisturiser – I love this. It soaks in straight away and smells great. I have oily skin and it doesn’t make it worse. Again a bit pricey for the little tube you get.
Palmers cocoa butter – I wash my hands loads so have dry knuckles and use this all of the time. It smells nice, like cocoa, obviously.
Lush mask of magnaminty face pack – Kinda makes me look like I’ve plunged my face into a swamp but it smells nice, like chocolate chip mint, and it leaves my skin soft.
Sheer Blonde Hair Repair - hair therapy stuff or whatever its called. It's a cream in a little tub with a metal lid. Really puts some moisture back into your hair if you straighten it like I do.
Tea Tree and Witchazel cream - perfect for any spots. Put a dab on a leave it over night and nine times out of tem it zaps them down to a little mark by the morning.
Johnsons Holiday Skin - the one everyone seems to be talking about right now. I'm liking it. It seems to bring some decent colour to my very pale face without making me orange.
I can't think of another recent one to add so...
Banana Boat fake tan foam - I think they stopped making it because I can't find it anywhere now. I loved this stuff. Gave my skin a light tanned glow...I'd love to find some again
evian oxygenating cleansing wipes - cause i'm lazy, but i want good skin. and now i've got it. also usually on 2 for 1 in tesco :thumb:
estee lauder idealist skin refinisher - normally stupidly expensive, but bought from foreign sellers on ebay can be tracked down for way less. this is fucking amazing. no other word for it. i can't stop touching my skin after, and it makes it radiant, even and clear.
toni and guy moisture injecting serum - not normally a fan of poncy haircare, but this came free with something, does the job fabulously and smells really nice.
boots olive, almond and mint lip wonderbalm - nicest smelling lip balm ever. like really, ever. made with mostly natural ingredients, so is nicer on your lips than stuff like vaseline. also handy for crazy dry patched on your hands.
im glad im not the only one who on occasion uses lip balm for dry bits! my friends normally look at me wierdly
as for the recommend 5, i shall be back to do that when i have had a think
Tend skin - great for after-shaving problems
E45 - use as hand cream, dry skin cream
Tea tree oil - smells quite strong but great for bad skin
The Santuary scrub in a packet - scrub but with oil so leaves skin really soft.
Vaseline - nothing better for keeping lips soft and smooth as far as I'm concerned. And it's good for a multitude of things too.
Touche Magique concealer from L'Orèal - no more dark circles for me!
Sunsilk Anti Drop hairspray - that directional nozzle is genius.
Avon Beautiful Morning moisturiser - yeah, you know that new Johnson's stuff? Well this has a hint of fake tan in it and it's been out ages. I've been using it on my face since last autumn and people keep telling me how well I look. (Course, they could just mean I'm getting fat
Lancome Juicy Tubes- Fave is no.45 Candy just look so fab and shiny
Max Factor Creme Puff Powder- Very Good Coverage
Rimmel Extreme lash Mascara- Great thick lashes for nights out Etc.
Timotei Blonde range (Cammomile and Amber)- Good for thourough cleansing when you need to change your shampoo and leave it smelling delish
Aussi - 3 minute miracle conditoner - this one smells so good too, and it's the best off the shelf conditioner i've ever tried.
Them whitch stick things, for when u have them horrible randomised red spots and they *do* actually work! hurrah.
Tigi Catwalk - Fashionista smooth and shine serum thing - Again it smells great, oh i'm a sucker for smells, it smooths down any frizzy bits, great with straighteners and makes the ends of your hair look good and over all soft and shiney.
Andrew Colligne - Heat Defence spray, i randomly bought it Tesco because it was on offer once but i've been buying it for ages now, spray it onto your hair before straightening, helps protect against the heat and all that blah, and guess what it smells nice too! and it's only £3 a bottle.
inno via matte paste - Toni & Guy. For my current hairstyle, this is superb. Leave the hair dry looking, no gunking, re-styleable and I can do my hair in 1 minute, easily (after washing and drying).
Homme T-Pur Face Purifying Scrub - Biotherm. This is superb for before shaving. It's anti-bacterial, exfoliating + leaves the face feeling lovely!
Homme Aquapower - Biotherm. Unbelievable moisturiser. Uses thermal plankton + the equivelant of 5000l of water in each bottle (or something) and it's just an instant refresher. Superb.
Homme Age Fitness Active Anti-Age Eye Care - Biotherm. Superb. Gets rid of those back circles etc.
Le Male Eau De Toilette Spray - Jean Paul Gautier. Just the most stunning fragrance, and it's amazing how many women come up asking if I'm wearing it, as it's a long lasting, distinctive aroma.
Aye. To be honest, I could recommend ANY of the Biotherm range, it's just impossibly difficult to get hold of in the UK, apart from at Airports, or through the 'net.

Ok. My five would be...
1) Nivea Shave Gel (for men). I use this to shave my legs - it's non-perfumed and really gentle, doesn't leave my skin dry like the overly-perfumed Gillette "for women" ones tend to.
2) Redken Heat Glide Serum. I thought this was pricey when I bought it for £12 after a cut at Vidal Sassoon, but it smells FANTASTIC, does a great job of taming my frizzy barnet, protects against straightener damage and lasts for absolutely ages. I'm still on the original bottle and must have bought it over a year ago.
3) Garnier Skin Naturals Clean & Soft lotion (the pink one). This is a cleanser, toner and eye make-up remover in one. Been using it for ages - it's cheap, effective and doesn't irritate or dry out my skin. Bargain.
4) MAC eyeshadow in colour "Steamy". It's a gorgeous bright blue/green metallic. Never fails to get me noticed (in a good way!), and was worth the cash as it's lasted ages.
5) Batiste Dry Shampoo. A spray that you use in between hair-washes to tide you over - it dries up grease (temporarily though, you can't use it as a replacement for washing your hair obviously). This is a life saver at festivals etc...one tip though, make sure you brush it through really thoroughly otherwise you look like you've gone grey!
GHD Iron Oil Spray - I straighten my hair everyday so this is needed. Tried cheaper versions but did not like them.
Ysl Touche Eclat Radiant Touch - Makes you look instantly fresh!
BeneFIT You Rebel Tinted Moisturiser - I find that it gives me good coverage and the SPF 15 is a bonus!
Angels on Bare Skin from Lush - A great cleanser, which smells lovely, leaves my skin feeling smooth and also works as an exfoliator.
GHD Halo Shine and Conditioning Serum - A really good hair serum. Not at all greasy, it dispenses just the right amount. Smells like coconut *yum* and sorts out static hair and makes it shine.
My list could go on and on...
GHD Professional Iron Oil - Great when straightening hair and doesn't make hair look greasy at all
Blistex - as someone has already said but yes this stuff is great for smooth lips
Boots 17 Get Even Foundation - Spreads evenly and lasts well. Not blotchy at all.
Rimel Exhaggerate black liquid eye liner - great for the "cat eye" effect (or whatever the flicks at the end of your eyes are called.... thats just what i say
Philosophy Ginger Man Body Scrub ...yummy yummy ginger exfoliator
Philosophy Hope in a Bottle....blitz those zits
Thierry Mugler Angel Perfume...gorgeousness in a bottle
Philosophy - Red Delicious Apple shower gel.....
Guess my favourite brand!
Vixxen Nail Polish Off - so easy to use
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss - perfect attraction
Eterna 27 All-Day Moisture Lotion - softness
Clear Bra Straps - - no more ugly straps
Softlips lip balm, made my lips so dry about 1000x worse than they were to begin with :mad:
they look worse, imo.
:yes: They just scream tack.
If your wearing a strappy top or something, i've never thought that bra straps in the same colour/or just plain black even look that bad.
here would be mine:
actually... I cant think of 5
mac studio fix foundation
lancome juicy tubes in marshmallow
coco madamoiselle
brilliant brunette straightening balm thing
Joshua galvin leave in remoisturising cream,
Nivea cream (the original one in the blue pot) - Never gets old
tesco make-up oil free foundation
dont really have a 5th i couldnt live without but there are other things i use all the time
I would do that sometimes. So long as the colour looks alright with whatever vest top you maybe wearing.
will be back later with my 5. cant think right now.
Oh, lol, you use those too?
2) Herbal Essences Shampoo & Conditioner (ok, I'm a dude, but this stuff is amazing)
3) Jean-Paul Gaultier Male aftershave
4) Water
5) Shaving foam
Superdrugs own brand cleansing lotion/toner/facial wash for sensitive skin - cheap (less than a fiver for the lot) but does a brilliant job.
Bed Head 'Rubber Rage' - hair seperator stuff to make layers stand out. Bought it in January, and you can't even tell I've used it. Wicked stuff.
Toni & Guy Iron-It Heat Defensive Spray - makes my hair super shiny and smooth.
and finally... Dove Deodorant, the one you get in a stick/cream kind of form - sprays and roll-ons make me itch but this stuff is fuckin' brilliant. It doesn't make me itch and it smells nice and clean.
tigi bedhead after-party = lush, sooo soft and smells yummy
bodyshop do a coconut range with like exfoliant and body butter and shower cream which makes you smell amazing
rimmels wet/dry eyeliner is a godsend too
as is maybellines soft and full (i think that's what it's called) mascara
my favourite thing is whiteish/light gold eye shadow/highlighting dust cos after a long night out a little biton the bit between your eyes and nose makes you look luminous
that was 6 hmmm
