Hey ladies! First of all, the most difficult question: If you had only five minutes to leave the house, what are your beauty essentials?
Nina Vee
I would definitely say like, a BB Cream or tinted moisturiser. Origins has an amazing one, they have this GinZing one that has a tint. It changes your skin colour, it's crazy! Definitely a concealer... and mascara too! I'd also say a blush or a bronzer just to bring some life back into your face and then I would always go for a lip balm or lip gloss so it looks like you've made an effort but you really didn't!

Eyebrows and mascara, I think. Every time I forget my eyebrows I'm like "OH MY GOD NO", but makeup wise it's always eyebrows and mascara. But technology wise, I'd be lost without my phone... If I come to London without my phone, I'm totally lost, I don't even know how to use the tube without my phone!

[My beauty essentials are] Giorgio Armani 'Maestro Glow' Foundation, Charlotte Tilbury 'Filmstar' Bronzer, Lancome Hypnose Mascara in Blue and Aveda Dry Shampoo!

Amazing, that's quite a list! Next up: What one beauty item could you NOT live without?
Laura Porter
I think maybe a moisturiser, as boring as that sounds because as soon as I take my makeup off, I just can't leave my face just without anything on. I love that feeling of putting moisturiser on after I've had makeup on - it hydrates my face so much! I've got a Simple moisturiser... I always use it in my videos 'cause it's so light and doesn't give me breakouts.

[I could not live without my] Aveda Dry Shampoo and Lush 'Comforter' Shower Gel - my work makes me such a sweaty girl that these are the only things that make me feel clean!
Nina Vee
It HAS to be moisturiser! Even if you have dry skin or oily skin, everyone HAS to apply moisturiser. It just balances your skin, and it makes you look healthier. I really love the Ole Henriksen one. They have a ton of different variations for different skin types.

Always do your makeup in natural lighting and use a beauty blender - it's my go to tool!
Nina Vee
There's a lot of things I do, I mean being in a hurry and using a lipstick for a blush or just curling your lashes after you have mascara on 'cause it makes you look like you're wearing false lashes. I've used business cards to do my eyeliner once because I forgot my tape!

And lastly, what is your absolute FAVOURITE budget beauty brand?
Nina Vee
Just one?! Rimmel, L'Oreal... and Sleek! Sleek has this palette, a highlighting palette that has four shades inside - it's the bomb. Like, it could be worth £30 but it's only £9.99. Rimmel do really good lip products... Oh my god NYX as well!
Carly Rowena
I love Simple, like I said. I love their moisturisers and skin care. I love Revlon and Essie nail varnishes too. Basically, every time I go in Superdrug, there's something I like! I've used a Bourjois foundation as well, I used one of those this morning!
Laura Porter
When it comes to beauty buys, my favourite is always Lush and Topshop. I feel they both have such an amazing range of products, especially makeup that no-one knows about!
