Anything with an * is something I actually will buy and try at some point. The rest are in the wishful thinking category.
Best Wash off cleanser
Precision Mousse Douceur - Chanel £23.50
Best to start as I mean to go on with an expensive Chanel product. This does sound lovely. I won't type out the blurb but it is for oily/combination skins. I have combo skin. £23.50 though. How good can it be? Does it perform miracles?
Best eye de-puffer
Nutritionist Caffeine Eye Roll-On, Garnier - £9.99
Silliest name award goes to this one. I've had my eye on this baby for a while and at a tenner, it almost feels like a bargain. I don't have puffy eyes so it's going to work a treat on me isn't it?!
Best radiance mask
Radiant glow express mask, Sisley, £69.50
OK, Sisley is really expensive. This sounds like my kind of mask, all flushing out toxins and opening up pores. But £70? That's half a Missoni scarf you know.
Best stick foundation
Foundation stick, Bobbi Brown, £24*
Now, I am not a foundation kind of girl but this does sound worth a try. It's been voted for 8 years in a row. I like the simplicity of it. I think I might seriously buy this.
Best mascara
Diorshow Mascara, Dior, £18.50*
It's a mascara, I'll try it. It's apparently a 'dream come true'. We'll see.
Best red lipstick
Lipstick in Ruby Woo, MAC, £11*
It's time I had a red lipstick and they say it suits all skin tones.
Best lip balm
Nutritive Lip Balm, Sisley, £32.50
Sisley again. Charging £32 for a lip balm. It would have to be amazing.
Best bronzer
Terracotta Bronzing Powder, Guerlain, £27.50
I am suspicious of bronzers but this does sound fantastic. The advice is not to go two shades darker than your skin tone. I am tempted.
Best self tan for face
Liquid bronze self tanning, Clarins, £15.50*
For a soft sun-kissed glow by morning. Yes please.
Best foot file
The Conquerer, Diamancel at Bliss, £29
£29 for a foot file? But baby soft feet - it's worth it. I'm a bit obsessed with feet. Maybe cos I have a tattoo on mine so I feel my feet should be soft at all times. They never are but maybe they could be. PS: don't get a ped egg - waste of time.
Best hand cream
Global anti-age hand care SPF 10, Sisley, £77
Yes, you read that right. Sisley strikes again. £77 on hand cream? That's the other half of your Missoni scarf.
Right that's it. I have entered the competition to actually win all these products. Wish me luck.

I have that Caffeine Eye De-Puffer thingy. Waste of money. It's cold, that's about all, and it's a funny texture so you can't put make up on top of it.
Thank you for the insight - very helpful Vickie! x
I second Vickie's comment about the eye De-Puffer - total total waste of money. Doesn't do a thing!
I used the Clarins face tanner (pressie from Disco mummy) .... very nice, does exactly what it says by giving a sun kissed glow and practically foolproof to apply which is very important to me!
OK, I won't get the depuffer as Disco, you are the Queen of Eyes. And I trust Vickie too. But the Clarins self tan is looking good.
£77 on a hand cream *passes out*
I have to say I am a little tempted by the cleanser.
Even I darw the line at £77 for a hand cream Ali!
