Love buying make up, it's my absolute favourite treat! Also love reading others recommendations of their favourite products to give me ideas. I tend to buy online as don't have access to all the brands where I live.

Would love to hear people's favourite products, whether they are classics or new products... or what are the current must have products ?

Currently I love wearing UD naked palettes (original and 2 are my faves), just started wearing Nars all day luminous foundation which I love with nars pressed powder after switching from EL double wear, mac glowbal glow, mac teddy velvet lipstick.. UD perversion mascara, have just ordered smash box primer having used benefit pore-fessional for years, can't wait to try that Smile

Hopefully I can get some ideas for xmas Xmas Smile

I really like Dior glow maximiser - mixed with moisturiser on cheek bones.
No7 brown stay perfect eyeliner is the best colour and eyeliner I have tried.
Nice thread!

My favourite brands are Bobbi Brown, By Terry, Laura Mercier, Chantecaille, and Becca. All except the first in Space NK.

*endof', I had the 6ml in my Selfridges advent calendar last Christmas and it lasted until April/May. I then bought the large size and I'm still using that one, with at least a month to go I'd say. just a tiny dot of it goes a long way.

It covers up dark circles better than any product I've ever tried (including Dior etc). It's also really good on redness.

I wasn't bowled over by the amazing concealer. I love chantecaille blush in grace-a recent purchase & great neutral blush colour-their mascara is great too but £££. Also love eve Lom tinted moisturiser & chanel tan de soleil bronzer.

Lower price-seventeen bb cream is great, max factor creme powder blush, Avon glimmerstick eyeliners & seventeen hd mascara Vg. I'm after a finishing powder-the by Terry hyaluronic one has been rec'd but don't want to spend that much-may try Bourjois one. Also on the hunt for a creamy/Browns small eyeshadow palette, or a quad set.

I bought max factor masterpiece mascara based on a recommendation here and it's the best I've used. I love Bobbi Brown cosmetics, particularly the BB cream. However for every day wear I swear by maybelline tattoo eyeshadow for longevity.

I love Benefit They're Real mascara (and the primer too for special occasions) I can't imagine using another mascara it really does look like fake eyelashes on me.

Love Benefit High Beam highlighter, Rollerlash mascara and Highbrow brow makeup.

Clinique Quickliner is the best eyeliner I've used.

Mac Viva Glam lipstick in V is a lovely shade.

I've yet to find a daytime blusher ora foundation that I love. Currently using a no7 foundation, but I could be swayed by something else.

I love Chanel Les Beiges foundation and powder, Benefit Rollerlash mascara, Chanel quad eyeshadows, then either Collection liquid eyeliner or Rimmel soft kajal. I have several favourite lipsticks but I've gone back in time and am mostly using Rimmel Heather Shimmer!

Max factor creme blush is as good as Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge.

Love smashbox mascara.

The best eye pallette I've got is called Fortune favours the brave by a blogger. It costs about £8 and is excellent.
it's by Revolution.

Becca backlit primer - blows Dior out the water. Never had so many compliments on my skin since wearing it. Keen to give the foundation a go!

I love mac strobe cream for a really natural glow, I dab it onto cheekbones using the sponge I used for foundation. Dior glow maximiser works well like this too
Becca champagne pop highlighter is a gorgeous shade and a little goes a very long way
Benefit dandelion blush all over to give a fresh glow
Seventeen HD mascara - best I've ever used and so cheap I have about 4 of these in various places as back ups
Lipfusion xl - magic for thinner lips

I do like benefit high beam but actually really prefer sun beam as I'm a bit of a bronzer-aholic Grin was given a sample of the mac strobe cream with a recent order, will try it tomorrow.

I love benefit bad gal mascara, love the big brush on the wand, I go between that and UD perversion mostly
