I've tried ALOT of Mascaras.
To keep it simple, here are my two favourites. At the moment!
This is amazing. Retailing at £31 it isn't the cheapest but this tube will last 6 months as you get double the amount than normal, and that's without drying out. The thing that's different about this mascara is the blend of natural waxes and rosewater. It provides thickness, volume, length, curl... and it doesn't drop. Ever. The rosewater gives it a gorgeous rosey- surprising?!- smell, unlike most other (if not all) mascaras i've tried which tend to have a gluey smell about them. If you think about it it makes much more sense to natural rosewater and waxes near your eyes rather than something that absolutely stinks of chemicals. Don't you think?
Anyway. You get the jist. The only thing with this one, I do find it's slightly better layered over another mascara. So if you've got a crappy one on from the days wear, or even a bit left from the night before (heaven forbid) it's great over the top. Doesn't clump, and it really does give that false lash effect. Hence the... 'Faux Cils'.
The Chanel Inimitable Mascara is around £21.50
Really really love this. Rubber wand, which I did always think was the way forward and 'the only way to do mascara' until I tried the Faux Cils. This one though got it really right. All in one again, volume length and curl, it also separates amazingly well but still gives that really built up finish. Stays on well and I did actually go swimming with this on and it was fine. Granted I didn't go out of my way to dunk my face in and rub my eyes but for minor splashes etc it's got good staying power. Highly recommend this.

Cleanser
It really does depend on your skin. Message me if you have any queries about yours and i'm sure i'll be able to point you in the right direction!
At the moment I really like-
£30. Good price point. 100ml of product. This is a Miracle balm, so you can use it for pretty much anything. It's another balmy formula- my favourite, so it balances out any skin type. Oil cleanses oil so you might think if you break out this wouldn't be the right cleanser for you. Try it, it will remove the impurities from blemishes, take the oil from your skin where you don't need it and put on in where you do. All-In-One goodness. This one's base is Moringa Balm which is full of vitamins A and C, Proteins, Potassium (3x more than a banana), Zinc- Basically everything that's good for your skin. It enhances the skins radiance and that's just the Moringa! Emma has packed in other essentials that the skin needs so it's pretty much perfect. Try this as a cleanser, a moisture mask, spot treatment, rescue balm, cuticle and nail balm... I even used it today on a lady who had had an awful reaction to something and had red blotchy raised skin (for a month!). Cleansed her with it (removing with just the micro-fibre side of the cloth) then massaged a thin layer all over. She came back an hour later and was amazed, as she'd tried everything.
Basically you get a finger full, massage it between your fingers, add a bit of water to emulsify then massage onto a dry face. This removes all make-up so don't miss out your eyes. Once that's done you just dampen one of her muslin cloths to remove the balm, then flip the cloth over to the micro-fibre side to buff the skin. On this side each one of the micro-fibre hairs are a 16th of the size of one of your pores, so it feels like it's not doing much but then you take a look at your cloth! Her cloths in my opinion are better than the Eve Lom. They have the added buffing side and seem to take less effort to remove make-up with the muslin side. And a pack of 3 for £10 isn't bad!

Lip Balm
The only one I use often is- Eve Lom Kiss Mix £12.50
This is the official info-
First aid for sore, chapped lips, this treatment can be used year-round to keep lips moisturised and protected from UV rays and biting winds. Zinc oxide comforts dry lips and acts as a natural sunscreen, while menthol cools and freshens. Kiss Mix can also be used under lipstick as a moisturising base and over it to add shine. Its natural, subtly glossy finish makes it perfect for both men and women.
And it really does all of that :)
