I can’t live without...

Fuschia make up I have long been a fan of this Irish brand. My days are often spent running between the classroom and the boardroom so I need my make-up to last. I like the 'Tinted Veil' primer – it's the perfect base, it keeps my foundation intact – while their rice powder keeps my skin shine-free.

Clarins Beauty Flash Balm is a cult product for a reason. I use it as a face mask, especially after long days looking at computer screens. It's a real 'pick-me-up' for my skin and it gives me an excuse to relax for 20 minutes and listen to some music.

Burt's Bees Radiance Body Lotion with Royal Jelly I sometimes joke that I chose to teach secondary school over primary school so I could avoid being near all things glitter. This body lotion uses light-reflecting minerals to leave my skin with a beautiful, natural shimmer. It will get plenty of use coming into party season. Their 100 per cent natural lip balm is a constant presence in my handbag.
