Considering that our top celebrities have their pick of the industry’s best products, it’s always interesting to know which cheap-n-cheerful classics they still like to stock up on.
Turns out, there’s quite a few!
Some of our favourite celebs (and their makeup artists!) love the very same products and brands as the rest of us, so we decided to put together a list of their pharmacy favourites!
Enjoy!
L’Oréal
Kim Kardashian’s makeup routine often includes products such as L’Oréal Paris’ Voluminous Mascara and 24 HR Infallible Eye Shadows.
In fact, her makeup artist raves about the 24 HR Infallible Eye Shadows in particular and regularly uses these on Kimmy.
As L’Oreal ambassador, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini is one celeb who wears the brand daily. Her favourite item? L’Oreal Paris Super Liner. She once said of it, “I’ve got to the point now where I don’t feel myself without it.”

Bio Oil
Most celebrities are very particular about the products they use, so when one of them falls in love with a product, then you can be sure it’s good!
For Abbey Crouch and Claudine Keane, that product is Bio Oil. Abbey has raved about it in the past, even once tweeting, “Covered my face in Bio Oil last night, and my skin feels amazing this morning.”
Claudine meanwhile used it to keep her skin soft and free of stretch marks during her pregnancies.
Kim Kardashian also regularly stocks up on Bio Oil and is known to apply it around her eyes. Like Claudine, she too used it on her stomach during pregnancy.

Victoria Beckham is also a fan of this pharmacy favourite!
E45 Cream
Cheryl Fernandez Versini has never made any secret of her skincare favourite – E45 Cream.

As she suffers from sensitive eyes, a big bonus is its non-sting formula.
Batiste Dry Shampoo
Batiste has saved us all from many a bad hair day, and it seems the celebs love it as much as we do!
TV presenter Holly Willoughby has often cited Batiste Dry Shampoo as her number one go-to beauty item.

Maybelline Mascara
WAG Alex Gerrard loves to use Maybelline’s Colossal Mascara. She once stated in her magazine beauty column, “I’ve bought about five different mascaras recently. My best one is the Maybelline Colossal Mascara. It gives you tons of volume, but it doesn’t feel like you have lots on.”
For long thick lashes, singer Taylor Swift loves Maybelline Great Lash Mascara. Actress Kate Beckinsale is also a fan of this green and pink gem and once told an interviewer, “A lot of fancy mascaras flake and get cakey.
Maybelline Great Lash Mascara is really cheap and you can get it anywhere.”

Ponds Cold Cream
Kylie Minogue first began using the product on the advice of her mother, Carol, whose own skin looks amazing.
The Australian starlet once said, “If there’s one must-buy product then Pond’s Cold Cream Cleanser is it. It has really changed my skin. It’s all I use to look after my skin. It’s such an old classic. My mum uses it and it really does work. It’s made such a difference.”
TV presenter Laura Whitmore is also a fan! She once said of the product, “I don’t go anywhere without a jar of this. It’s a quick and effective makeup remover, fantastic cleanser and a hydrating face mask.”
Astral Cream
According to Absolutely Fabulous actress, Joanna Lumley, Astral Cream makes for an amazing makeup remover! It is commonly used by TV and theatre actors to remove the heavy makeup they have to wear when working under those strong studio lights.
The makeup can be very drying on the skin, however Astral Cream moisturises the skin while at the same time removing the product before you properly cleanse.
It’s also suitable for sensitive skin.
