Sudocrem, which cures all skin related ills.

Our vet says she's a great believer in Sudocrem for all sorts of skin related ills for animals as well 😁

Max Factor 2000 calorie mascara. It does the job, doesn’t clog or dry out like pricier brands I’ve tried.

Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey. It's the nicest tinted lip balm, and I've tried quite a few.

Also L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara. Basic but has no faults. Why buy expensive when this one does the trick?

Nivea soft cream.

Been using it for years.

Sorry, meant to say Rimmel’s Bronzer

Clinique liquid facial wash. I've been using it since it was launched (I think about 2005) and have occasionally tried others but nothing beats it for me.

Rimmel Hide the Blemish for the odd facial blotch. It used to be called Hide and Heal, if I remember rightly, and I have been using it since I was a teenager.

Oh, and Vicks chest rub for colds! Not really stylish or beautiful but very effective.

Simple eye make-up remover.

Rimmel’s Blusher

I’ve been thinking about what I buy again and again because there is still nothing better to touch it. The standouts for me are Elnett hairspray, which I’ve kept going back to since I was about 15, and Sudocrem, which cures all skin related ills.

Do you have perfect products too, we could all benefit from trying them?
