"My beauty essentials tend to chop and change, depending on the time of year, but I always come back to No.7 facial products – especially the Beautiful Skin Quick Thinking Wipes, which remove eye make-up without leaving a greasy film, and also moisturise as well as cleanse. They're fragrance free and very gentle for sensitive skin."

"Basically the best skincare product in the world, bar none. It's a protective treatment that I use as my everyday moisturiser and it provides the perfect make-up base. Expensive, sure, but worth every penny."
"I can't live without the Hourglass Brow Sculpting Pencil that comes with a little hairbrush to help tame my unruly eyebrows."

"I've been devoted to this mascara for years now. It's the only one I've ever found (and I've tried lots!) which gives super boosted, long, perfect lashes, and comes off effortlessly with make-up remover – the perfect combo."
"I'm always wary of experimenting with a strong lip colour – I don't think it particularly suits me – so Burberry's Fresh Glow lip balms are my new favourite beauty discovery. They have a sheer tint which just gives a slight wash of colour, meaning that I can apply throughout the day (no mirror required), plus the hydrating formula is perfect as the weather gets colder. Seriously addictive."

"I have super thick hair, so an oil is the most efficient and effective way to hydrate it and get rid of frizz. While most oils are filled with silicone and have more of a serum texture, this one is over 90% natural and really smoothes out tresses. It's supposed to be used as a pre-shampoo treatment, however I've been using a drop or two on my ends throughout the day too."
"The best and only thing I crave after a long flight – or a long night. There are loads of similar products on the market but they all smell dreadful or are too creamy. Sisley's facial gel is addictive."

"This pencil somehow draws lines that look like real hairs, one colour miraculously suits all and it creates natural-looking thickness even when there isn't any."

Jo Glynn-Smith, retail development director
"I am lost without a pot of Carmex in my bag, by my bed or on my desk. It's the best lip balm ever, and I never wear lipstick so it's become one of my grooming essentials."
"I've taken this everywhere with me as my safety blanket beauty product for years. It's cured sunburn, dry skin, chapped lips...even cuts! It's magical. Plus, a little goes a long way, so it lasts for a really long time."

"I think I've tried every liquid eyeliner on the market, but when I discovered long-lasting liner La Ligne my search was over. If I was only allowed one make-up item, this would definitely be it."
"I love bareMinerals Night Treatment – I've been using it during the day as a face powder and I swear it has changed my skin. It's easy to use and I recommend it to everyone."

"Eyelash curlers are such an easy way to lift your face and feel instantly pretty. This pair from Shu Uemura are my staple beauty tool, I incorporate them into my routine everyday."
