This is pretty timely given Aphrodite’s been on the telly-box revealing her top ten products for under a tenner, and we really do like to hear about well-priced Beaut.ienomical spends in any case: Johnson’s Daily Essentials line is launching in gala-tastic fanfare tomorrow, and we’ve got passes for three of you plus a pal to attend!

So, what is it? Daily Essentials sounds like a nice proposition: everything costs €5 and the line is pretty much designed to be exactly what it says it is – all your skincare needs each day. There are 17 products in total across ranges for normal, dry and combo skintypes, along with a few extra companion products that all can use, like an eye makeup remover and exfoliator.

While older gals might not want to ditch their posh products for it, this’ll be a go-to for teenagers, early 20-somethings and those who don’t yet need the heavier-duty (expensive!) peptide-packed gloop I find myself slapping on with increasing frequency. Wah!

We haven’t gotten to stick our fingers into any of it yet but intend to investigate further at the launch. Oh yes – the launch! Taking place tomorrow evening from 5.30pm at a central Dublin location, there’ll be the all-important canapes and cupcakes as well as the chance to meet Celebrity Salon star Elaine Butler Doolin and Johnson’s skincare scientist Maxime Buffat, who’ll be on hand to chat to you about your skin type, the best routine to suit it and to answer any other questions you may have.

Plus you’ll get to try the products, maybe indulge in a mani, pedi or a blowdry and get to take home a jam-packed goody bag. Ah here, could you ask for anything more? Quite frankly, no! Entry deets are after the cut, so get going if you want in.
