get a quite a few readers asking about my skin care and make-up regime. I always think it’s pretty simple but then I go away for a few days and I pack a whole giant bag of crap and then I realise that I do use quite a lot of products and most of the time I look like I don’t use any. Basically, my main aim in life is not look like I’ve crawled out of a swamp. Here’s what’s in my make-up bag to help me create my Not A Rotting Fleshed Faced Zombie look.

Night time Routine
1. Cleanse with Dermalogica Microfoliant from Adore Beauty – this stuff is the actual bomb. It’s made my skin super clear and taut. Love it.
2. La Mav Vitamin E Oil from La Mav
3. Trilogy Night Cream from Adore Beauty
5. Refresh Eyedrops from Priceline – I’m what my optometrist calls a ‘partial and infrequent blinker’ which means that I don’t blink anywhere as often as I should and when I do, I don’t do it properly. I have a Type A pesonality (I do EVERYTHING properly) so this not only upsets me it also makes eye drops mandatory.

Morning Routine
1. Cleanse with QV Cleanser from Priceline – I always cleanse twice a day but my skin is a bit senstive so I always make sure 1 cleanse a day is with QV
2. Nivea Sun Daily Face Veil from Priceline – this stuff is my absolute favourite. I use it every day and have several bottles in various handbags, on my desk and in my car. It’s cheap (about $12) and I reapply several times during the day. It’s the best. Highly recommend it.
3.L’Oreal Base Magique primer from Priceline – I usually use Benefit PORE-fessional but if I’m a bit skint I go to Base Magique because it’s a bit cheaper and almost as good.
4. L’Oreal Skin Perfection Blur Cream from Priceline
5. Garnier Eye Perfecting Roll On from Priceline – I got sent some of this for editorial consideration a while ago but this is now the third tube I’ve bought. I use it every day. I just dab it under my eyes and a little around my nose and it gives light coverage without being cake-y and gross.
6. Smash Box Jet Set Waterproof Eyeliner in Brown from Mecca – I find black eyeliner is quite ageing on me so I much prefer brown and I LOVE Smash Box. I use a Bobbi Brown eyeliner brush to apply it.
7. Rimmel Lash Accelerator from Priceline – I’m not fussy at all about my mascara but I’ve been quite pleased with this one. I just pop it in my shopping cart whenever I’m ordering things from Priceline and I get a new one every few months.
8. Blush in Exposed from Tarte – my mate Christina from Hair Romance actually gave this to me and I love it. It’s just a nice subtle cheek colour without any shimmer or glitter. I brush it on with an Eco Tools blush brush.
9. OCC Lip Tar – This stuff is brilliant, it lasts for ages and only needs a few top ups during the day. I like Pretty Boy – it’s a super hot pink!
