The Products We’ll Never Cheat On

Emma Smith, ELLE and ELLEuk.com Beauty Director:Sisley All Day All Year

'I’ve acquired rather expensive tastes since I’ve been in the beauty business. But I have to say, once I find something that really works, I’m fiercely loyal. This is by far the best day cream I’ve ever used. Even with sensitive skin, the botanical ingredients won’t irritate. I love the soothing natural smell, the fact that a little goes a long way and it protects your skin from daily environmental aggressors. I don’t go anywhere without it.'

Hannah Swerling, ELLE Junior Commissioning Editor: Davidoff Cool Water
 
‘My most obvious would be my perfume which I have worn for about 15 years. It’s Davidoff Cool Water and I love it. It’s light, clean and fresh - really like a splash of cool water and I never deviate. While I love different fragrances on other people, I just can’t wear anything else myself. Floral, musky, all-pervading scents just aren’t for me. Cool Water forever.’

Carrie Gorman, ELLEuk.com Editor: YSL Touche Eclat
 
‘I’m not a loyal beauty buyer but there’s one sole product I’ve been buying since I was fifteen: YSL’s Touche Eclat. Not a groundbreaking revelation but it’s part of my make-up bag furniture. I cheated on it for the Boots 17 version once – which was pretty good – but as the YSL lasts for six months, I think it works plenty hard enough to justify. ‘

Suzanne Scott, ELLE Beauty Writer: Biotherm Biocils Conditioning Makeup Remover
 
‘I'm more than slightly obsessed with my lashes - I like to keep them conditioned and use various concoctions to help them grow. My Biotherm Makeup Remover maintains a constant residence on my dressing table, not only does it easily remove all traces of make-up (including water-proof mascara) but it also contains conditioning ingredients which nourish my lashes. Since using it I don't notice so many of my lashes falling out.’

Amy Lawrenson, ELLEuk.com Beauty Writer:Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Intensive Body Treatment

‘I have never been all that fussed about body lotion or butters. My skin never gets dry and it’s another addition to my morning routine that, quite frankly, I’d forgo for an extra five minutes in bed. Until now, that is. Earlier this year I discovered this body treatment; it smells divine (like creamy lemons) and is thick, but sinks right in. My skin now feels soft and looks healthier, even my boyfriend noticed and he rarely spots a thing.’

Georgia Collins, ELLE's Deputy Beauty Editor:Bumble and bumble Thickening Spray

‘This is the one product that I can always rely on to give me the hair I love and happily for my low-maintenance lifestyle it comes easily with just a few squirts. The effect it gives my hair is softly textured with just enough body and volume and what’s better it lasts and actually looks better on the second day. Woe betide if I’m ever without it, I honestly don’t know what I’d do.'
