“Not to be vanilla, but if we’re talking about prods we really can’t live without, mine would have to be moisturiser. I can’t stand the tight, dry feeling that comes with not applying it, plus a lot of moisturisers double up as glow-givers, which doesn’t hurt!” – bh’s Katia
bh tip: Got dry skin? You’re not alone.

“Hairspray. I feel like I used to be a rockstar in my past life (I cut my hair like Nikki Sixx from Motley Crue back in high school – the nuns hated it), so I loooove big hair.
