[Pinkflipflop]

I discovered that the BBH is rubbish on my hair and makes it much more greasy!!

[babooshkadoll]

Soap and Glory foot file.
BBH- jury still out on that one.

Twisted Sista curly products.
No 17 nail polishes excellent quality for the price and fab colours.

[Celticlassie]

Benefit Dallas blusher

[DonaAna]

I finally figured out my style.
Now I know what not to buy - even if everyone else is buying it.

[shoeprincess2]

Finding my style isect my proj for 2013. I have perfume (thanks to DonaAna and fellow perfumistas) and makeup sorted, but have lost my way a little with having children and feeling that at 36, I'm not really high street anymore. I know what jeans and trousers suit me, so it is tops and dresses. I feel another thread being created

[Hopefully]

OPI nail envy
8 hour cream as a face mask
My leather leggings

[CountBapula]

Definitely second MUA eyeshadows - the Undressed palette is brilliant.

Also:
Nails Inc Kensington Caviar topcoat - dries all glossy in less than a minute
Butter London nail polishes - fab colours that go on flawlessly, without formaldehyde
Clinique Airbrush concealer for my sleep-deprived eyes
Bioderma Hydrabio Riche moisturiser and face mask - sorted out my dry, flaky face in 2 days flat (after trying everything since the age of 8)
Phyto 7 day cream for hair - makes my hair all glossy and expensive-looking, without silicones

A lot of those were recommendations from Lisa Eldridge, who I luff.

[jalopy]

Body Shop Aloe night cream
Barbara Daly's Primer
Estee Lauder Doublewear Light
Alpha H liquid Gold
Laura Mercier Tinted Oil free moisturiser
Liz Earle cleanse & polish

[LittlePandaBear]

I discovered that Estee Lauder no smudge mascara really doesn't smudge! Amazing!

I also discovered that Liz Earle skincare does nothing for me at all.

[Pinot]

rosehip oil - def helps with spots

Ecrinal cuticle cream - best thing for nails

[ohforfoxsake]

My semi-permanent eye lashes.

How I love them.

[AlphasTurkeyLeftoverSpagBol]

Simple kind to skin cleansing lotion and a hot flannel. I have adult acne and this has been a revelation. And soooo much cheaper than products aimed at acne ridden skin.

Benefit eye palettes
Ysl mascara
Carmex lip balm

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

M&S treggings. I bought some back in March and felt v nervous about them but have been raving about them on here ever since!

Urban Decay Naked Palette.
Superdrug Vitamin E Radiance moisturiser.
Bayliss and Harding black pepper handwash.
Garnier BB anti-ageing cream for when I have a tan.

Oasis leather biker jacket - oh how I adore this.

[Charliefox]

Ooo yeah, rose hip oil for me too. I also think it's helped a bit with my temperamental skin.

[YouCanCallMeBetty]

This Korean BB cream. Wonderful stuff - doesn't make me orange and shiny like the Garnier one did.

Despite looking scarily grey when you squeeze it out it blends in really well - I look like me but better, with sleep.

[Zwitterion]

Body Shop vitamin E range
Body Shop make up brushes
Estée Lauder double wear light foundation
Essie nail polish - I love the colours, the brush, and it lasts for a week ish with a top coat
Sally Hansen top coat
Max Factor masterpiece mascara

Clarks brogues
Zara linen tops
H and M tweedy shorts to wear with tights

Sure there's a lot more

[ISawSantaKissingThePortlyPinUp]

I discovered my own style and the confidence to pull it off.
Mua cosmetics,
Sleek naked eye palette,
FM fragrances,
and that the BBH did nothing for me.

[Emo76]

the soap & glory foot file

MUA lipgloss

Me&Em ruched dress

various discount codes - thanks everyone!

[lifeintheolddogyet]

Didriksons coat. Warm. Dry. Aaaahhhh.

[noddyholder]

Expensive tights in a size up Revelation!

[NewYearNewNagoo]

Merrell coats and boots.

I am no longer miserable in the rain. That's not really a S&B point is it, but it was this site that made me buy them!

[BikeRunSki]

Only 3 days ago, but, skinny jeans! Recently lost 2 stone and all my old mummy bootcuts were falling down. Still got half a stone to go, so have only got one cheap pair from Saino for now, but looking forward to expanding my collection.

[FunnyLittleFrog]

BBH
Estee Lauder double wear
Nutrogena stuff for spots
Top Shop Artreu boots (love em)
Zara skinnies (after years of avoiding Zara because of scary small sizes I have found these skinny jeans in SIZE 10 make me actually LOSE a stone!)

Probably most importantly is that I have found stuff that is good and works for me - all based on sound recommendations from others - rather than buying random crap as in the past.

Also know how to avoid being frumpy (I think).
