Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream
I always carry a small tube of this magic salve in my bag. It gives lips a glossy finish and smooths out any unwanted areas of dry skin and is a brilliant quick fix for scratches and scrapes. A must have item.
Mini pack of M&S handwipes
What did people do before wipes? Every spill or every misapplication of make-up and I reach for the wipes.
Arnica
As a mum of two young boys and a toddler, I never leave the house without my phial of arnica – I find it really effective as a homeopathic healing remedy.
Aveda Inner Light mineral tinted moisturiser
I'm lazy when it comes to make-up so I find this tinted moisturiser great as it's light and easy to apply, plus it gives you your SPF for the day. Done.
Paddy O's Granola Bar
Paddy's bars are made with Irish oats, honey, Irish rapeseed oil, rye flakes, barley flakes, sultanas, apricots and sunflower seeds. They're a brilliant way to keep you going with slow-release energy.
