1. Eve Lom Cleanser
I once stayed in a hotel and they had this cleanser in the bathroom. I used it then and there and became addicted and have used it ever since. £40
-
2. MoroccanOil
I love MoroccanOil hair treatment because it leaves my hair so incredibly soft and manageable. From £12.85
-
3. ELLIS FAAS Skin Veil Foundation
I never leave the house without having applied foundation, and ours, ELLIS FAAS Skin Veil foundation, is truly magical. You don't need a lot, and its formula seems to become one with the skin, so you don't get the dreaded mask effect. £35
-
4. ELLIS FAAS Skin Veil Foundation
ELLIS FAAS Skin Veil Foundation comes in a handy 'bullet' shape tube that can easily be carried around and refilled with more ELLIS FAAS foundation cartridges
-
5. Paperself False Eyelashes
I love these paper false lashes by Paperself - at least until we make lashes of our own at Ellis Faas! They come in great designs such as Peacock, Deer and Butterfly, Scorpion and even Jubilee ones! From £10

6. ELLIS Red
ELLIS Red is my signature shade of lipstick, and I use it in different ways: mostly I apply a little and dab it with a finger, so it becomes a wash of colour. I also apply it as a full coverage lipstick or I dab a little on the apple of my cheek as you would with a blush. £22
-
7. Biona Coconut Oil
Coconut Oil is a multi-purpose product: it controls the frizziness of my hair, it's a nice skin moisturiser, you can use it as a bath oil, and you can cook with it or eat it on bread! Biona Coconut Oil, £7.99
-
8. ELLIS Clips
ELLIS Clips is my most recent "portable solution". For women-on-the-go, I have created a concept that makes it easy to carry around our makeup. First I launched the Holder, which holds 8 of our products and also has a built-in mirror, but for smaller or bigger amounts of products, I came up with the Clips: you can simply click together as many as you like and fit in our makeup pens. £2 each
-
9. ELLIS Creamy Eyes
ELLIS FAAS Creamy Eyes, my favourite eye-texture, because it's easy to apply and won't budge until you take it off. We just launched seven extra, colourful shades. £23
-
10. ELLIS Creamy Eyes Eyeshadow
The ELLIS FAAS Creamy Eyes range and ELLIS Mascara and Eyeliner
-
-
11. Dermatologica Antioxidant Hydramist
Dermatologica Antioxidant Hydramist - a greatly refreshing facial spray that is really good for hydrating and protecting your skin. £26.40
-
12. Water
Water! Of course I don't schlepp it around on my travels, but it is absolutely vital for me to drink a lot especially on planes and in other air-conditioned places. And you can get it anywhere!
