Bored of contents of make-up bag - any suggestions

[Bagpuss30]

Just looking through my make-up bag this morning and decided that I have gone off some of the things in it really. Usually use Clinique but have recently bought a few No7 things and decided that they suit my skin better now I am getting older . I am 30 on Sunday and have decided I need making over pronto. What brands are good these days, as it has been ages since I have really been to a make-up counter and bought something as I usually rely on people to buy me things as birthday/christmas presents. Suggestions would therefore be very grateful.

tee hee, thought that would liven things up a bit

I need all the help I can get, but Dh would think the baby had hives if I kissed him with lipstick on, and you are not going to tell me not to kiss my fragrant boy are you?

i re apply at lunchtime

suzy get em used to it!

suzy is indeed radiant without the need for slap i can confirm

I don't wear make up either, and most of my clothes are worn unironed. In my defence I do always have clean hair ! I can't wear make up daily anyway, it plays havoc with my skin (blocks my pores and gives me spots). Plus it helps me feel special when I put it on for a night out, even then I don't go the whole hog.

coddy - how on earth could I keep my make-up nice for more than 10 mins when dd rubs her hands all over my face??

ndp - most of my clothes look the same whether ironed or not so I don't even bother.

I dont know wk
mine seems to stay put

til lunchime

coddy - if I ever meet you then I'll give you dd for a while and see if it stays then!!! She was obviously born with special octopus hands that get into everything.

OMG, it's taken me so long to read through all this and look at the Boots website at the same time! I feel so out of touch and I definitely need some new stuff .

Will follow up each and every suggestion when I get the chance, thanks!

wk this is for you! her

"TEINT IDOLE FLUIDE pigments are "held captive" in a film containing softness microspheres - so it's both rub-resistant and weatherproof.
Plus, its supple film is enriched with protective Vitamin E and extracts of white lily and mallow, to soothe and soften for great protection and comfort all day long (SPF 6 equivalent).

"

" microspheres"

oooh - "microspheres"!!!

Don't think "impeccable hold" is quite the same as "wk's dd-proof" but if it worked I'd be amazed!!!

I wil get you a sample form claire

what colour?

me?

Oh yes
am on fisrt name terms with slap woman at debenhams now

ROFL!!!

Think I'd be a "porcelaine" myself. I could always go down to Boots and annoy the harridan there - we're on first name terms too but I don't think its our real first names iykwim

ok will do - send your name throught... ? beety? has she woyour adress or soupy

not sure - easy and essbee have got it - shall I cat you?

sb has mine so thats fine

okey dokey!

OK
so I took on board what was said earlier on and went to the park with kids for a playdate, put on concealer and mascara.It rained, got home and discovered I looked like a Goth, big smudges under eyes, rather wish I hadn't bothered.

Can anyone recommend an completely waterproof smudgeproof mascara that doesn't go cloggy for under a tenner?

Get yer lashes dyed, luv. Cost you about a tenner and lasts a month or so.
