So if you’re looking for the ultimate beauty recommendations, read on…
Clinique Superfine Liners For Brows
“One product I have purchased time and time again over past 10 years would be Clinique’s Superfine Liners For Brows in the shade Soft Brown. It’s super fine so you can feather stroke in those sparse spots for a natural finish. The soft brown shade doesn’t have any red or orange undertones so it’s a true match for my brows that isn’t too dark or light and I can use it when I’m naturally brunette or have my blonde highlights. Love it!” – bh member BeautyObsession
Elizabeth Arden PREVAGE® City Smart + DNA Enzyme ComplexTM + Anti‐Pollution + Antioxidants With Sunscreens Hydrating Shield
“I’ve loved the Elizabeth Arden PREVAGE® City Smart + DNA Enzyme ComplexTM + Anti‐Pollution + Antioxidants With Sunscreens Hydrating Shield so much, I just keep on grabbing it to use it. It’s like a treatment for my skin – rich in advanced ingredients but light on my skin. It soaks into my oily T-zone and makes my skin feel protected all day from the sun and smog. I love that it makes my skin as smooth as a baby’s bottom and my makeup glides over the top.” – bh member Softness
Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner
“The Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner has Alpha and Beta hydroxy acids (AHA,BHA) which has really helped to keep my skin clear from breakouts. This is the best toner I have found that really helps with my acne and it also helps to lighten all the acne marks from my skin. This toner is strong and stings so may not be suitable for sensitive skin but for my oily/acne prone skin it works so well. I was introduced to this toner through a Trial Team (I even did a video review for beautyheaven) and since then I have always kept it in stock and repurchased it everytime I run out.” – bh member MoonlightSak16
Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm
“Every now and then a product comes along that changes your life. The Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm is brilliant. It’s silky soft on the skin, gentle and it removes all dirt, grime, grease and every trace of makeup. It’s also so powerful that sunscreen is removed from the face and the pores are cleansed out. You can literally see the makeup melting off your face in front of you but it won’t leave the skin stripped or dry. I use it as a pre-cleanse when I’m wearing makeup or sunscreen. A little bit pricy but the tub lasts me a year as you only need a small amount. It started my obsession with balms a few years ago and it deserves its cult status.” – bh member ray_jay
Trilogy Exfoliating Body Balm
“The Trilogy Exfoliating Body Balm has the perfect texture. It’s natural, it doesn’t cause drain clogs, and it moisturises and smoothes. I’ve tried so many and most are either too coarse, don’t contain enough exfoliating particles, or have nasty ingredients. This Trilogy balm is just perfect!” – bh member duality
Neutrogena® Rapid Wrinkle Repair™ Anti-Ageing Eye Cream
“I just can’t do without the Neutrogena® Rapid Wrinkle Repair™ Anti-Ageing Eye Cream. I’ve tried many eye creams over the years but this one takes the gold medal for visibly reducing fine lines.” – bh member onlyoni
Trilogy Everything Balm
“I carry the Trilogy Everything Balm with me everywhere and use it for everything! Dry cracked lips, dry skin on my nose, dry skin on my hands, elbows, knees, cuticles, the list goes on. It is non-greasy and smells great which is also a plus.” – bh member Elunia
Elizabeth Arden Advanced Ceramide Capsules Daily Youth Restoring Serum
“I just can’t get over how great the Elizabeth Arden Advanced Ceramide Capsules Daily Youth Restoring Serum is. I would not normally extol a high end brand but I think they are worth splurging on. I haven’t found an inexpensive dupe to compare. The formula is incredibly nourishing for my skin and I love how silky smooth the texture of the oil is.” – bh member Ethelinde
Weleda Skin Food
“The Weleda Skin Food ($14.95, davidjones.com.au) is an absolute fave for me. All natural and so nourishing, I use it as a night cream, eye cream, hand cream and it’s perfect for travelling!” – bh member Pollylou
Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronised Recovery Complex II
“I use the Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronised Recovery Complex II day and night after toning and before my facial oil/moisturiser. It actually does what it claims – hydrates, repairs, plumps fine lines and improves skin texture. I have used it (this and the previous version of the same serum) for about 7 years and I do not think my skin has aged much since.” – bh member skincarejunkie
Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cleanser
“The Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cleanser took my skin from insanely bad when I hit my 20s to almost always pimple-free since then. Not going to lie, it does dry my skin out a tiny bit if I overdo it but no other cleanser ever cleaned my face as well.” – bh member mrsB_
The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter
“The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter is heaven to remove makeup and it leaves your skin feeling amazing too! I absolutely love it.” – bh member lauratough
Alpha-H Liquid Gold
“Alpha-H Liquid Gold is the one product I buy back ups of when it is on sale. I can never be without it and I have used it for 15 years. It makes my skin more refined, gets rid of the dull surface, encourages the deeper layers of the dermis to not be ‘lazy’ and is so easy to use. It also makes the products I use with it work better. I have dry, dehydrated skin and it works. I also have friends with oily skin that it works for too. It is truly my holy grail.” – bh member Pink Hornet
COVERGIRL Exact Eyelights Mascara
“I have tried a few mascaras over the years but I always find myself going back to the COVERGIRL Exact Eyelights Mascara ($17.95, priceline.com.au). I have used it on-again, off-again for years in the shade Black Sapphire. I love it because it gives my little lashes length that lasts all day, doesn’t clump or flake and it actually does highlight the baby blues to really make them stand out.” – bh member Amazeballs16
RosehipPLUS® Rosehip Oil
“This product has completely turned my blemish-prone complexion around. I tried facial oils after so many forum-ites have raved about how good they are. I’ve tried jojoba, pure rosehip oil, bio-oil, macadamia oil and various rosehip oil blends, but so far I prefer the plain rosehip oil. The RosehipPLUS® Rosehip Oil was my first.” – bh member misfortune8
