Ok, mine are in order of importance, top "I can't live without" are:
1) Body soap - I love the Oil of Olay products, particularly the liquid body wash.
2) Toothpaste - I bounce around on this but really like the Mentadent products although the last time I got toothpaste I got Collgate for sensitive teeth and really like it too.
3) Deoderant - I'm not picky about this, whatever is on sale, even from the dollar store - they all seem pretty much the same to me.
4) Shampoo and conditioner - I don't use anything but Mane 'n Tail. I know, it was orginally created for horses but it works great on people and really does help my hair grow.
5) Face moisturizer - bounce on this one but either has a firming quality (getting old) or a sunscreen (slow down the aging process).
6) Mascara - black always, usually Mabellene or Cover Girl this time around it's CG Professional and I really like it.
What does your list look like?

Good discussion for us, girls! (Guys, you may join us too :)).
So, my list is as follows:
1) liquid soap - no matter what brand
2) black eyeshadow - the same
3) moisturizing cream - of some good and not cheap brand like L'Oreal
4)shampoo and conditioner - that's clear
5) lipstick - either L'Oreal or Maybellene or Jade or etc.
And of course sanitary pads which I think is the greatest invention of the 20th century :)

My personal care products consist of moistering body wash, baby oil for my skin, toothpaste, deodorant I use all natural ones for these as I used to sell all of these products, shampoo and conditioner I used one only with tea tree in them. I also use a face moisturizer and a skin one as well which are from L'Oreal and body lotion from Le Reve. I do not use mascare, and a bit of lipstick,.

I was born with a very sensitive skin. It became extra sensitive after I gave birth to my second daughter. About 2 years ago, a friend recommended burt's bees products to me. I have never felt this beautiful since I started using it. And the relief that I'm not getting any rashes too. Here's my list:
1. Face and body soap - garden tomato complexion soap
2. Moisturizer - vanishing marshmallow creme for daytime and evening primrose
overnight creme before hitting the bed. I also applied serum before the
moisturizer.
3. Body lotion - buttermilk and honey lotion
4. Toothpaste - Jason's organic citus toothpaste
5. Shampoo and condtioner - Nature's gate organic aloe vera
6. VMV hypoallergenic sunblock
7. Makeup - everyday minerals makeup, maybelline mascara (the best mascara for me)

I love using so many products, let's see where do I begin? For the face, I use Clean and clear for my cleansing. Then I use the Baubelle line which would be the toner, 6 action concentrate serum, moisturizer which would be either day or night cream, and eye cream. The line I use would be all anti-aging. Now if I have a zit I use the Clean and Clear pimple clearing gel. For the body i use the loofah milk soap or Body shop's shea butter body wash. For body moisturizing either Body shop's shea butter lotion or a slimming body oil. I use Citre for shampoo and conditioner and also a henna oil for extra moisturizing for my hair. I love Neutrogena's hand cream for my hands and feet aswell. For daily make up I love Body shop's cheek and lips tint which gives you a natural look and also a shimmer gloss for the lips. Am a perfume fanatic and I wear Mango, Gucci Rush, CK in the morning and Bvlgari in the evening.

I have quite a few important personal care products that I use quite often.. I know that I can't live without my leave in conditioner. I think if I didn't use my aussie leave in conditioner that my hair wouldn't be as soft as it is right now. Plus my hair would be all knotty without my leave in hair conditioner.
I also have used mane n tail leave in conditioner in my hair sometimes to. I find it does just as good of a job as aussie leave in conditioner does. Only reason I haven't been using it as often is because it's usually out of stock. It's very popular & even though it was made for horses.. It still makes your hair so soft & I find my hair is so easy to manage after using mane n tail or aussie as well.
I wouldn't be able to live without my body wash. We usually buy baby shampoo & use it as a body wash to.. It makes your skin so incredibly soft & I love the scent it has as well.. Other times we will just take no name shampoo & use that to wash ourselves each night when we take a bath.
My other half also sometimes purchases jergens body wash. We always buy the watermelon kind & it smells so wonderful.. I like body wash personally more than soap as I find it gets the job done.. And I find using the same soap all of the time kind of dirty.. At least with body wash I find it's so much cleaner to use it.
I also can't live without my shampoo & conditioner. I use biotera conditioner & it helps to keep my hair healthy. And it has been making my hair a lot healthier to as it is a deep conditioning conditioner.
I also use joico for my hair to make it a lot healthier.. As I have blond hair & find I need something for dry, damaged hair as my hair does get damaged from dying it sometimes.. But it makes my hair so much healthier by using this wonderful shampoo. I find both work so well on my hair! And I couldn't live without using these daily..
I also couldn't use tooth paste. We use whitening colgate tooth paste & it works really well. I love the scent of the tooth paste & how when you use it.. You can really feel it working! Couldn't live without these personal care product I know that for sure..
I also couldn't live without deodorant to as I am very conscious about smelling good. I use usually secret deodorant & I tend to purchase different scents sometimes.. I love the baby powder scent as I have always loved that scent for some reason.. I also couldn't live without my baby powder.. As I apply it usually right after a bath. And it helps my body to smell really nice to..
I also couldn't live without lotion.. It's a moisturizing lotion called 'shea butter.' It really helps to keep my skin moisturized. I also find it helps to make my skin feel incredibly soft as well. I also couldn't live without my chap stick as my mouth tends to get dry since the it's winter time here.. So I love using my cherry chap stick to keep my mouth moisturized.
I also couldn't live without my tru blend foundation.. I don't wear makeup on a regular basis.. But when I decide to do so I love how this foundation blends in so well with my skin tone. I also couldn't live without my maybelline eyeliner, along with mascara. I like how it brings out my eyes when these two are combined together.. They truly bring out the color of my eyes & help to make them stand out..
I know there are a few other personal care products that I use.. But I think these ones are the most important ones that I tend to use on a regular basis.. Except for my makeup.. But the other ones I use quite often.
In conclusion.. All of these personal hair products I have listed.. I don't feel I could live without.. As I find using them is very important to keep myself looking presentable.. And smelling good at the same time as well to! . .
Thanks for allowing me to share! xx

My list of personal care products are:
1. my tea tree soap for my face. as I am prone to getting pimples because my skin is a little bit on the oil side. Tea tree oil helps to control oil and is a good anti-bacterial.
2. Dove face wash- only when my skin tends to be dry
3. Safeguard soap for the whole body
4. Virgin coconut oil and brown sugar - my best and cheap body scrub
5. Lander lotion with Cocoa Butter and Vitamin E and coconut oil
6. Humphrey's witch hazel toner
7. Olay total Effects and Olay Hyrdrating lotion for sensitive skin
8. Mineral make ups
9. Chapstick libbalm in cherry
10. Maybelline Water shine lipstick

Lets see. In order of use we have:
1. Lush "Catastrophe Cosmetic" Blueberry Facial Mask.
2. Lush "Angels on bare skin" exfoliator and cleanser.
3. Lush "Breath Of Fresh Air" facial Toner
4. Lush "Imperialis" Moisturizer.
I don't do makeup too often, but I've found that following a regime with the following 4 products has cleared up my oily skin so so much. I'm VERY impressed.

Hands down I love my tinted moisturizer. I dont have to wear makeup and it makes me look fresh and radiant all day long. If I have to leave the house and only put one thing on, it would be my moisturizer.

my personal hygiene list looks similar to your own, it is very basic.
1) body/shower gel no real preference, I tend to buy items on big sale and buy plenty of it - right now it is dial that I got a case of 12 to go through.
2) shampoo, I too like the mane and tail products - thick and wavy hair, that is aging.
3) toothpaste I try to avoid fluoride products and have used tea tree toothpaste from puritan pride, but I do not really like the flavor, recently I started using Nature's Care brand in Herbal Creme De Anise natural toothpaste with baking soda. When I was a kid we had baking soda toothpaste powder that came in a red tin - that was the best, wish it was still made.
4) deodorant again, I think it is essential but I am looking for a source that does not have the aluminum products in it. Maybe I can find that sea salt crystal that is supposed to be a natural antiperspirant and deodorizer
I do not wear any make-up but I really ought to look into moisturizer creams, as my skin is aging, and needs protection as well.

The main thing that is important to me when choosing personal care products is that they are all natural. Your body is exposed to chemicals all day that you have no control over (car fumes, smog, road salt, acid rain, etc..) so why should you add to that. I use baking soda for toothpaste, make my own soap, and use a mix of cornstarch, baking soda, and tea tree oil for deodorant. I buy all natural shampoos and though they cost more, it seems to clean better with a smaller amount. It's not a lifestyle that is right for everyone, but it makes my body feel better and it is better for everyone around me.

Okay, where to start here?
1. Soap - in the shower, plain old Coast bar soap is fine, but on the sinks I have to have yummy smelling liquid soap (lavender is my current favorite.)
2. Toothpaste - the stronger, the better. I can't stand weak-tasting mint (like the Crest that we have now) that only leaves my mouth tasting clean for twenty minutes or so. Yuck.
3. Shampoo and conditioner - and I'm STILL looking for one that's just right for my hair. Most often it's Pantene.
4. Deodorant - Secret (nothing else)
5. Moisturizer - loving Lush's Afterlife right now.
6. Contact lens solution - 'cause a girl's gotta see! ;)
7. Blush - because I'm deathly pale. Love Stila's Soar right now.
8. Mascara - the only other makeup I bother with on a regular basis - whatever is cheap and works is fine with me.

2) Crest extreme herbal mint toothpaste
3) Scope mouthwash
4) Crab Tree & Evelyn Hand Recovery hand scrub (goat milk or the jojoba oil one)
5) Jergens intensive healing hand cream
