1. Eucerin Gentle Hydrating Foaming Cleanser 237ml.
I was looking for something similar to replace Alpha Hydrox Refreshing Face Wash and came across this cleanser from Eucerin. It’s basic, it’s gentle, it does the job without leaving my skin with an uncomfortable tight feeling and it’s under $8. Only thing I don’t like is the pump it’s a little dodgy, the neck isn’t long enough so it gets stuck. Purchased from iherb.
2. Paula’s Choice Skin Balancing Toner 190ml.
I could never find a great toner to balance my oily/combo skin until I found this ! I immediately re-ordered a second bottle without hesitation. It contains lots of soothing ingredients; glycerin, chamomile extract, niacinamide, panthenol and ceramides. The lightweight formula helps prevent the signs of ageing and helps eliminate flakiness. It features regularly in my skincare routine. Purchased from paulaschoice.com.au
3. Palmer’s Intensive Relief Hand Cream 60g.
I’ve been loving Palmer’s hand cream this winter, especially if I’ve accidentally reached for that bar of soap to wash my hands or even worse liquid hand wash. It contains soothing ingredients and forms a protective barrier to retain moisture and absorbs quickly without leaving hands feeling greasy. Not bad for under $5. Purchased from iherb.
4. The Ordinary “Buffet” Multi-Technology Peptide Serum 30ml.
I was seriously apprehensive about buying anymore products from The Ordinary. I’ve found more than a few haven’t lived up to the hype. I’ve actually ditched several; lactic acid 10% + HA 2%, Caffeine 5% + EGCG Solution have been binned and I sold my tube of Vitamin C Suspension 23%+HA Spheres 2%. Buffet is one of The Ordinary’s better serums it’s extremely versatile, I can layer it under my moisturiser or cocktail it with virtually any other serum or treatment without irritating my skin. It targets surface hydration, fine lines, wrinkles, dynamic lines and textural irregularities. Purchased from Asos.
5. Drunk Elephant Lippe 3.7g.
Another winter staple, I love to slather this on throughout the day and before bed. It contains lots of lovely soothing plant oils, waxes and peptides. In addition it works well as a moisturising balm for dry, ragged cuticles. It’s a little pricey at $26 if you tend to lose lip balms you might want to reconsider but totally worth it for the anti-ageing benefits. Purchased from Mecca Cosmetica.
6. NailsInc London Sparkle Like a Unicorn Nail Polish Duo 2 X 14ml.
Rainbow Wishes is an iridescent polish with a lilac/blue opalescent holographic glow. I’m wearing 3 coats. You might need more as it’s quite sheer.
Dream Dust is a rose pink/gold non-chunky glitter featuring 3D pigment. Easy to apply these glide on without much effort thanks to the wide brush. I’m wearing 2 coats. Purchased from eBay also available from stylepatisserie.com for $27 AUD which is a bargain when you consider NailsInc usually charge $25 a bottle in Australia.
7. Eva•NYC Purse Perfect Hair Towelettes 10 X 2.7ml.
I love the convenience of these, yes I know they look like the refresher towelettes you get at KFC😂 You can stash one in the tiniest wallet or even your pocket. Suitable to take traveling or camping. These do a fab job of refreshing a day old ‘do, smooth fly aways and tame frizz on damp or dry hair. They contain argan oil, omegas 3, 6, 7, 9 and sea buckthorn oil. Purchased from Urban Outfitters for $15 US for a box of 10.
