I need to start pampering myself a bit, have let myself go and feel shite about it so need some beauty pick me ups. I'm sure I was slightly pretty many moons ago but lately I look like a haggered old bag and i'm only 28.

So what beauty product could you not live without ??

My budget is low but tis my birthday soon so tell me the not so cheap ones too

I am crap at picking foundation. My current one is a loreal one i think, cost me £11 anyway and is much too pale for me.

MWhich cream blusher ?? My mum recently brought a No7 one and said it's rubbish.

YSL Touche Eclat is fab for under eyes. I've just tried Max Factor Masterpiece mascara & think it makes a real difference to my sparse lashes - and I've tried ALOT of mascaras Oh and I couldn't live without my GHD's either.

I really like the Benefit peachy powder. Gives a lovely finish without foundation, great for when you're in a hurry & have just realised you look like a flour sack.

Tweezerman ones seem to have a better grip than the Boots ordinary ones IMO. Haven't used the Avon ones but they sound good - I am v partial to a well-shaped eyebrow!
