What are your top 5 beauty items that you can't do without ?

Tweezers
Lipstick
Mascara
eybrow pencil
Blusher

No. 7 mature range creams ( bit of a cheat - I use 5 different ones a day!)
Bare Minerals foundation
Ditto eyeshadow quartet
Benefits Real mascara
Eyebrow powder

but then there's the blusher, highlighter, eyeliner & volumising shampoo not to mention body moisturisers, perfume, conditioner, hair brush, dryer, straighteners , nail varnish etc.

I can't pack light to go away!

Mind you isn't it good we are all still looking after ourselves & care what we look like?

What is "Ausie shampoo"?

Boots No7 serum foundation
Tweezers
Benefit 'Their Real' mascara
Bare minerals powder eyeliner
Dr Organic Argan oil lip balm
Estée Lauder concealer

If I'm honest I could go on - do like the Dr Organics range at Holland and Barratt - if you buy 5 items they are currently 50% off, and not expensive to start with. Shampoos, conditioners and face products are lovely

Oh good.

Benefit eyebrow palette

Dior Star foundation

Bobbi Brown concealer

Bobbi Brown blusher

Clarins Hydra Quench tinted moisturiser

Yes I know it sounds a lot and high maintenance but it last ages and I don't buy anything for months and I don't wear it all at the same time- Ok sometimes I do if we are going out which we don't much.

Moisturiser
Eyebrow pencil and Benefit eyebrow brush (that's two really but I need them both)
Touche Eclat (I use it on my eyelids because the skin tone between my eyelid and brow tends to be uneven)
Lipstick, usually a lip gloss type of brush
Last but not least Colour Wow like a block mascara for touching up regrowth hair roots - wonderful best beauty product I've discovered in the last couple of years.

Tweezers
Foundation (Elizabeth Arden)
Concealer ( " " )
Lipstick
Crystal clear lip gloss

I often fly with carry on bag only, so can't pack toiletries in the hold of the aircraft. The number of times the lip gloss gets taken out and inspected is weird. I couldn't cope if it were confiscated!

If we can have 5 more, these are my Holy Grail (HG) beauty products

DHC Mascara Perfect Pro Double Protection
Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge
Garner BB Cream
Wet n Wild Ultimate Brow Kit
Revlon Colorstay 24H Foundation

Ethel I look about 80 without my makeup, but once it's on I look nearer my age of 69, hopefully.

I have cleansed and moisturised every day since I was 16 and it has paid dividends as I have few wrinkles, but the colour of my skin without makeup is all uneven and there are a few saggy bits.

Aveda Blue Malva shampoo
Argan oil conditioner (bought in Home Bargains)
Moisturiser (Olay) with factor 20
Foundation (Max Factor)
Blusher (Barbara Daley at Tesco)

I don't have anything, if I went on holiday(fat chance) and forgot my make up bag I would just wash my face and comb my hair and be 'natural', I don't think make up makes much difference.

Euphoria perfume
tweezers
kohl eyeliner
vaseline
Avon concealer
re Aussie Miracle - it turned me into an aborigine ! I couldn't get the brush through my hair !

Mascara
Eyebrow powder
Foundation
lipstick
Volumising mousse

These are mine, but I can't narrow it down to five:

Aussie Shampoo and Conditioner
Astral
Rimmel Foundation
Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner and Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil
Chanel under-mascara primer
Collection fibreless mascara
Liz Earle Cream Blusher
Laura Mercier eye shadow

price even ...

Thanks bikergran - I have actually lucked in by finding it online - a really good preice

imperfect Im sure I ahve seen Argon oil/shampoo etc in Body care shops but maybe there isn't one near you.

Imperfect you can get a wide range of Argan oils and shampoos from Boots.

I don't count my hairbrush or nail file as a 'beauty item'. They're pieces of normal kit, like a toothbrush.

My items are
1. Olive Oil cleanser from DHC
2. John Frieda volumising shampoo, lotion & hairspray
3. Boots Restore & Renew face cream
4. Eyeliner & mascara
5. Bobbi Brown Parisian Red Lipstick

Argon shampoo and conditioner (ordered online as can't find it in the shops!)
J'adore perfume
Moisturising wipes
Handcream

nina I too thought shampoo/shower gel/soap and of course a hairbrush/comb went without saying . But if we are to state the obvious, then here's my second go:

Shampoo
Conditioner
Shower gel
Soap
Hairbrush

Followed by my original 5 upthread ^^

Tweezers
Moisturizer
Aussie shampoo (or should shampoo/shower gel fo without say )
Hair brush
Nail file/clippers

If we can have another 5

Volumising shampoo (I have very very fine hair)
Moisturising shower gel
Aveeno cream (scaly legs too)
Hairbrush
Hot brush

Don't some of you ladies value a hairbrush or shampoo over makeup? Is it just me?

Moisteriser
Blusher
Eyebrow pencil
Argan oil
Face massager
