Ooh, lovely things. I'll definitely try a few of those out. :-)
Wow, I didn't realise I used so much stuff! Posting in two comments because I've managed to exceed the limit!!
Skincare: I use Elemis almost exclusively for my face because my facial skin's quite sensitive and doesn't seem to like much else.
Lime Blossom Cleanser, Lavender Toner and Absolute Day Cream. It's light, easy and quick.
Their SOS Skin Emergency Cream is fantastic for days when your skin is just looking rubbish and the day cream isn't enough. Instant perk up.
I also use St Ives Swiss Formula Firming Masque, which is a lovely mud-based face mask that leaves you feeling refreshed. Their Apricot Scrub is also the best facial exfoliator I've found. These guys do the job without costing a fortune.
Gale Hayman Lighten Up Eye Cream is good for the day after the night before. Gets rid of those dark circles. ;-)
Make Up:I don't wear a lot of make up and when I do I tend to go for a very natural look but one of my favourites of recent times come from Avon (

Lush's Hybrid shampoo and conditioner in a bar is very good, especially for travelling with. It's one of those products you buy for a laugh but then surprises you by being good(!)
I've been pleasantly surprised by a lot of Lush stuff, actually. I liked their blueberry masque, and bought a very expensive pot of it... which wingsmith then ate, believing it to be yoghurt. To be fair, it had all the ingredients of yoghurt, but was crucially ten million times more expensive.
And their bath bomb things are uber-cool. Also! Their witch-thingie chocolate massage bar is amazing. It's the one with the beads in it that slowly melts as you're using it, and has muscle relaxants.... *purrs*

BodycareI'll use pure L'Occitane 100% Pure Shea Butter for anything: lip balm/gloss, elbows, feet, nails, hands. You can even put a bit on your hair to make it shine. It's a little bit of heaven. Everyone should have a pot of this stuff. Even my soap in the bathroom is L'Occitane Shea Butter soap

yeah, i can't afford most of them either. I tend to ask my mother to buy them for me - and i guess it helps that i'm allergic to lanolin which is in most body- and skin-care things, so I have to shell out for the expensive stuff, whether I like it or not.

L'Occitane is Teh Bomb. I have a small warehouse of their Shea stuff. It's much better than the equivalent Body Shop stuff, which has lanolin in it and thus brings me out in a rash.
Also! New facial wash, Body Shop outmeal and glycerin. Sounds awful but is divine.
