My favourite product is my No 7 Beauty serum, because I feel like I have taken off about 10 years of my age since using it!

My favourite beauty product is Pantene Pro V conditioner, which moisturizes my hair like no other brand, especially during the dry winters.

My favorite is these new mineral make up foundations! They don't dry out the skin or flake.

My favorite beauty product is no longer made. I very rarely find anything that I find good enough to buy more than once but this foundation I purchased time and again for as long as they were making it. I can't remeber the name of it but it was Loreal foundation and powder in one, it came in a silver solid stick. It went on beautifully, stayed on ALL day, moisturized my skin and left a wonderful matt finish. Sigh, I would love to get my hands on more of that one!

My favorite product is Maybelline's Colossal Volum' Express mascara. But I'm also wanting to try the Stiletto one after reading some of the other comments!

My favorit beauty product is my C40 Cover FX concealer. It is the best product for covering even the toughest of scars.
