Essentials magazine recently got in touch with a bunch of beauty bloggers wanting to know about the five products we use daily and you’ll find my list over here.

You can also read my reviews on most of the products mentioned:

Dermalogica Daily Superfoliant
Lancome Juicy Shaker Matte
Rimmel Brow This Way 3-in-1 ultra soft powder
Givenchy Ange ou Demon le Parfum Accord Illicite

You won’t find a review for L’Oreal’s Voluminous mascara (the original) as it’s old as the hills. I’ve been using it way before I started blogging, like we’re talking high school days, but it’s one I always suggest when people ask me for a good drugstore recommendation. The only problem is that it’s now discontinued in South Africa *insert silent scream here* which is a bummer. I bought my last four wands from Boots in Thailand as it was super cheap so I’ll be sure to stock up again when I go again at the end of this month. I see you can also snap it up on eBay for R170 including shipping.

For the record, my other favourite mascaras are Lancome Hypnose (the original), Clinique High Impact (the original) and Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Colour Lash Enhancing mascara.

I’m still always on the lookout for awesome so if you’ve found your holy grail mascara I’d love to hear about it in the comments.

Love, love
