Skin and hair heroes

Elizabeth Arden Cream Cleanser: A thick, rich wipe-off cleanser that may or may not be discontinued because the entire stock was at 75% off. Too expensive for me to use on a regular basis but I really really like it.
Moroccanoil Hair Mask: This is a lovely thick hair mask that is suitable for all hair types. I am not sure if it would be too rich for fine, straight hair, but my dry, curly hair loves it.
Nivea Fresh Blends Apricot, Mango and Rice Milk shower gel I love this shower gel, but then I love anything in the peach/apricot/mango fragrance family. It is very budget-friendly.
Monday Moisture Conditioner I tried the matching shampoo a while back and I loved it, so when this popped up on sale, I pounced. I really like the design of the bottle. It is pretty if you display it on a shelf, but it is also so easy to store in a cabinet because the shape is space-efficient. The conditioner itself is lovely, and perfectly complements the shampoo. After using this I can easily comb through my hair.
Estee Lauder Advanced Night Cleansing Gelée This was in the 2023 Lauder beauty blockbuster box and is apparently a new product. I love it. It is almost a mix of a gel and a cream, and is fantastic for dry skin. It would probably too pricey for me to buy normally but if I ever manage to get it cheaply or as part of a gift set, I will definitely go for it.
Sephora Cleansing Powder this is the cheapest cleansing powder I found and I like it. Like all Sephora products I have tried, it is not spectacular but really good value for the price. I do like the pepper pot design of the dispenser. The little holes dispense just the right amount and do not get clogged.
Filorga Glow Mask this is one of my favourite masks. It is pink and creamy with a little sheen and if you apply it before you go out it makes your skin look really glowy and fresh. This is quite easy to find on sale if you look regularly. I tend to buy one once a year during the sales.
