Emulsifying ointment BP The beauty barganista's best-kept secret. A big tub costs €6 and lasts forever. Perfect for cleansing my face and a magic body exfoliant used with gloves.

La Roche-Posay Toleriane Riche moisturiser I can literally feel my skin drinking it in if I deprive it of this moisturiser for even a few days.

Tom Ford and Jo Malone Anything, anytime. The most gorgeously indulgent products and always a hugely welcome present.

Le Volume de Chanel mascara
Mascara is my desert island product. I received a trial size of this, and I'll be upsizing to the real deal very shortly.

Moroccan Oil Nothing leaves my hair feeling better than this.
