COME ON GIRLS
dont forget when you hear the beep its time to play cods supermarket sweep

<sparkly grin>

Waitrose eye make up remover.
Sainsbury's cheapo cleanser (can also be used to stop bin lid squeaking if you drop a blob in the right place, one of my happier accidents)

sainsburys have a new organic range dont htey

ohi also LOVE ALDIs undereyeconealer

Waitrose eye make up remover is really good and very cheap.

Can I use Boots products Cod?

I know not of the Sainsbo's organic range. Will it do minor repairs to my bathroom?

Waitrose Organic Face cream is crap

if its boots own brand i SUPPOSE

<opens door>

<shuts door on ggirl>

Tesco MAKE UP GlossOver.
Lovely goldish, shimmery gloss, not just for lips (though looks fab dotted over plummy lip colour). I sometimes use it sparingly on eyelids and it looks lovely and somehow doesn't collect in in the crease.

help me i am loving this thread already.

does superdrug count
it's my favourite shop

their GOSH brand stuff is super duper

Boots Curl Creme in the pink tub

yes ... ok then we cna have their own brand, JUST

Oh and Tesco Make up eye liner in gold-y brown. Catches the light without being over the top. (Don't knoew the exact shade and too lazy achey to go upstairs to look)

ok here is a poser
do oyu buy own brands more if htey are almost identical looking to a rbanded good?
teh tesco b natural i LOVe and i am sure its a rip off of liz earle
ditto GOSH and mac

Tesco Make Up Face Lift - only £6 and ALMOST as good as Clarins Beauty Flash Balm.

Oh yes, packaging is a key factor! M&S are the past masters at the rip off.

.

Ooh Milge,I will have to try that fake Beauty Flash Balm- sounds good. Also going to Aldi tomorrow to get that under eye concealer <<bit too excited, need to get out more>>

If we can have chemists as well as supermarkets

cheapo pro-vitamin shampoo and conditioner - about a quid a go and works like Pantene

Boots expert cleanser, again cheap and works

Superdrug coconut oil (tub of the pure stuff) about a pound, lasts ages

Sunsilk brunette shampoo and conditioner: 99p each in Morrisons

sorry BOOTS cheap vit shampoo

.

.

Barbara Daly makeup at Tesco? nice eyeshadows

ICOD

Im heading to tescos after sch pick - which of the be natural range to you suggest I try?

well if oyu liek washy cleansers then get the skin brightening cleanser, also the hair glossing serum is good

great - will do! thx

Tesco make-up souffle eyeshadow in sea foam. Love it.

do any of the supermarkets make decent non-sparkly eye shadow please?

ooh thast a good q

tesco bharti vyras (sp?) eye cream gel in a tube is very good for dark circles.

Tesco Barbara Daly Face Lift,also Radiant Glow. Excellent.

.

Lidl Iseree (?) Q10 day cream. As good as L'oreal, I reckon. And about 2 quid.

Maybelline dream matte mousse foundation, and the dream mousse blusher is very easy to use. (available in Tesco - was buy 3 get cheapest item free a weeka go, not sure if still is)

agree with LL - tesco eyeshadow is V good - good range of colours - fine for day but prob not enough pigment for eve.

Will check if not sparkly in a min but I don't think they are.

Their touche eclait copy is okay-ish.

Sainsburys make up removing wipes are good too.

tesco hair serum is better than most others - someone said that already I think.

teh bnatural one?
oh yes

Tesco do a gel-like hand serum which is lovely! (in their 'make-up' range) It feels really silky. I've got in the habit of keeping it in the car for when I'm stuck in traffic on the school run.

yes - for ages had been using john freda or trevor - even ponce ones from salons. One day at my sisters washed hair and borrowed her tesco one and haven't used anything else since.

God I am such a snob - I remember sneering as I used it for the first time!

gel hand serum sounds good.

Boots own coconut leave in conditioner spray.

Tres good.

nice niff?

Yep, smells lurrrvely.

I bought the shampoo and conditioner too but I wasn't all that impressed.
I'm a tresemme girl.

Although I have been using Head and Shoulders two in one as dh bought it and used it on dd.
Her hair was all shiny and smooth so I've been onto that and its pretty good.

Thats for a different codpiece though.

just looked at tesco eyeshadow - is shimmery but not sparkly.

tesco long lasting lipstick thingy with the colour in one end and the gloss in the other.

£5.99 but stays put even after a meal and nice colours too. Paint on the colour, let it dry then add the Lip gloss which for me is too glossy so I use lipsalve instead

I need non sparkly non shimmery eyeshadow?
Am thinking a MAC replacement that won't cost me a tenner everytime I want a new one.

I've just bought a couple of Revlon eyeshadow quads - nice colours £8 and if you buy in Boots you get a free eyeliner at the moment too. They are supposedly long lasting colours but I use Urban Decay primer potion anyway, which makes even el-cheapo colours last all day.

Sorry Cod - not Boots own brand but it was in answer to woodenchair's question so don't shoot me!

Boots own brand Witch Hazel

cod, i'm in desperate need of cheap but fab black mascara.... is tescoes any good?

I find boots Natural Collection waterproof mascara = £1.99 fab stuff and for £1.99 I ain't complaining.

Pinktulips, try the Gosh one

here

Tescos mineral eyeshadow is nice, it's a roller ball so it doesn't fly around everywhere.

Asda oil free make up removers

Asda bronzer powder

Miss Sporty from Superdrug does good, cheap make-up, I think it might be the new name for Coty? Their thick eyeliners are great.

.

thanks furball and watsthestory, am due to go to closest tescoes on tues (45 mins away ) and need new mascara.... my old one is about 2.5 years old and died a few months back and the aldi one is awful

actually yes, while i'm here... aldi make-up really not good. mascara clumps before it even gets to you're eyelashes and hair dye (not technically make-up i know) fades after only a couple of weeks

Eugh, as we are on the subject of old products can i please just ask you all to look at the back of your item.

There will be as symbol that looks like a box with its lid open

It will have a number over it

That is the amount of months it will be good for after it is opened

oh the best cheap mascara was deemed to be

hold on.

GOLD
Just pipping”Dior show” to the post is the odd sounding “Blinc” whereby little tubes of mascara (like miniature Wheat Crunchies) cover each lash. http://www.blincuk.co.uk/index.php?mainpage=product_info&cPath=5&productsid=11&gclid=CLqB0Lvd7JECF SFmMAodyRtkpw
Order a sample (in bacon flavour) and see.

Maybelline - popular globally and also on Mumsnet http://www.boots.com/shop/product_details.jsp?productid=1025472&classificationid=1045281 it’s suitable for contact lens wearers. (There is a waterproof version also available.)

BRONZE
You don’t get much for £1.99 THESE days but you can get Boots natural collection mascara http://www.boots.com/shop/product_details.jsp?productid=1070530&classificationid=1045281
Even if you just keep for emergencies you can be assured of no smudging or clumping.

wots your budget?
i ahev an aldi one ehre i can try for oyu?

Maybelline 'Instant Rewind' Foundation. Fabulous. You can get it in Sainsbos and Tesco, I think.

Boots own brand fragrance free eye make up remover (in the blue bottle) is quite nice.

i have an aldi one cod, am not impressed.

budget is non existant but dp owes me a treat after having alcoholic fil in the house all weekend. the B%$$% smoked in the playroom and dropped ash all over the kids toys! surely i deserve a fiver on a mascara for that, right?

champney's skincare and bubble bath etx in sainsbury's

here

'Face Lift' in the tesco makeup range.

Fab fab fab. I usually use as a primer under makeup but have been known to use alone. It just makes me look healthy.

ta
i need more

Tesco's cream eyeshadows for a fiver are brilliant (esp great brown shade called driftwood). I had bought Benefit's creasefree cream shadow the day before; Tesco's beats it hands down. Good pigment and it is crease free (unlike Benefit's - crease free my arse, I had crepey eye by 10 in the morning).

Couldn't survive <wipes brow melodramtically> without John Frieda's Frizz Ease shampoo and conditioners either.

chonky
gold star

dh loves waitrose organic moisturiser. he has oily skin.

waitrose umi heavy duty conditioner is excellent (i have curly dyed and chlorined hair)

palmers aloe vera body moisturiser. lasts ages, does job and doesn't smell of coconuts.

bounty kitchen roll. instead of stupid muslin facial cloths that get lost in wash.

bounty kitchen roll, fucking brilliant!!!!

er woodne

no

is great for people of tender complexion. not like those wretched brillo pads you conned me into buying.

What about the Waitrose Bottom Butter deserves? It was in this week's Style mag as being recommended by MNetters (ooh - get us).

Tisserand's Tea Tree Body Wash is also fabulous if you have the pox. Can buy it in Waitrose, and I think Tesco's too.

Erm..Vaseline lip balm in the blue tin for 99p?

Olay's Illuminating Moisturiser with SPF 15 (the one that's about £7) - great stuff, easily outperforms Lancome's SPF15 for oily skin (blardy £24!!!). Can buy pretty much anywhere I think.
