Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Aqua: Rice + B5 SPF50+
My face SPF. Lightweight, transparent and absolutely no white cast, so it sits under makeup without arguing with it.

Dermalogica UltraCalming Cleanser
The cleanser I keep going back to. It takes every last bit of my makeup off in the evening, which sorted the breakouts I was getting, and it never leaves me tight or stinging. The price is the only catch.

No7 Lift & Luminate Triple Action Serum Concealer
Lovely texture and it covers a blemish nicely, but by the end of the day it has settled into my creases.

No7 Pro Artist Powder Blush
My favourite blush so far. The pigment is brilliant and the cool pink does not fight my bronzer.

No7 Pro Artist Set The Scene Loose Setting Powder
It genuinely holds my makeup all day and has enough warmth that it does not wash me out. It can be drying though.

r.e.m. beauty Hypernova Satin Matte Bronzer
Sits and blends far better than the bronzing stick I used before it. My favourite bronzer to date.

Altruist Dermatologist Sunscreen SPF50
Brilliant protection for the money and I have used it daily for nearly two years, but it is thick and greasy, so it lives on my body now rather than my face.
