OK, so its the 21st Century and we’re in an age of equality, where the boys have had to accept that there isn’t much us ladies can’t do, we work as hard, shred as hard and party as hard as the best of them. There is one thing we can do better and will always do better – and that is looking good.

So here are our all time favourite beauty products, which we swear by and feel are essential to mountain life and looking fresh (which we obviously do for ourselves, after all we’re independent women who wear lipstick because we want to, not because it makes our lips more kissable to those pesky boys – pffft).

Girlylegs, viva the revolution!

We love and swear by Maybelline mascara! There whole range is amazing, but one of our firm favourites is the The Colossal Volum’ Express Cat Eyes, because lets face it, who wouldn’t want to buy a mascara that uses the words ‘Colossal’ and ‘Cat Eyes’ in the name?!
