Roll up for Tigerbear's totally FREE makeup thread!

[tigerbear]

Right ladies, I'm in the process of moving house and have HAD to get rid of some stuff. Back in the days when I was young and had more money than sense, I was a total makeup addict (and actually believed the blurb in fashion and beauty magazines about new products). As a result I have loads of makeup that doesn't really suit me, and no idea what to do with it.

So, if anyone fancies some totally free makeup, then let me know and I'll pop it in the post to you.
I'm not on CAT, so the deal is that if you want one of the items, the first MNer to email me with the name of the product you want, your name and address, wins!

And no, I'm not trying to palm you all off with my old left over 10 year old crusty dregs of products - it's all stuff I tried once or twice then chucked in the drawer, I promise!

Now, I'll start listing the stuff (peers into goody bag)....

A round compact of SK-ll Power Signs Treatment Foundation in OP-3

MAC Sheertone Blush in Tantone (beware, this works best If you're already a bit tanned or have a warm skin tone - I'm pale and ended up looking a bit Tango-ed/like an Oompa Loompa!).

Calvin Klein light coverage foundation (liquid) in 05 cream

Chantecaille Real Skin in Bliss

Oh, just discovered that I don't have as much as I thought - must have chucked more away than (or sneakily added it back into the vast makeup box! :) )

More SK-ll compact foundation - different shade this time - OP-1

Virgin Vie eyeshadow palette in shades of gold/caramel/taupe, etc

MAC lustre lipstick in Razzledazzler (cool name or what?!). Colour is a sort of peach / salmon pink sort of shade.

Maybelline Pure Foundation Mineral in Rose Ivory

MAC lustre lipstick in Sandy B (name says it all - sandy/light gold shimmery colour)

What do you use now?

NARS chunky lip crayon in Sex Machine (colour is a rosy beigey brown)

Hello Mae - what do you mean? What brands do I use? Or what have I got left?

What brands you use? sorry, that's not the purpose of your thread! I am just curious as you sound like you know what you are talking about.

And, finally, a Laura Mercier Flawless Fix Corrector Pencil in Warm.

And that's it! Let me know if you want anything...

Mae, would you believe that after trying all of these expensive brands, the ones I find work best are, by and large, the cheapest brands! The concealer I use now is Collection 2000 cream stick - cost approx £2.99 I think - cheap enough to buy two. One for normal times, and one for when i'm on holiday and a bit tanned.
Best concealer I've ever used!

And Rimmel or Loreal do the best mascaras, IMO.

A decent mascara is the Holy Grail of make-up. I still haven't found one

What sort of colour is the Real Skin - always fancied trying it but a bit too pricey for me - and would the Virgin Vie eyeshadows suit brown eyes or be a bit meh?

Ok everyone, just as I was going to flounce off and think no one was interested, I checked my emails and saw all your lovely messages :)

So, these things have been snapped up already (I'll be popping them in the post tomorrow):

I've put each persons initials next to who has what so far, and will email or PM you all individually:

SM - Chantecaille Real Skin
JK - Virgin Vie eyeshadow and SK-ll foundation (let me know which shade though)
BOF and Bitter - just going to check my PM now...

Oh BOF and Bitter, sorry you missed out to JK on the eyeshadow - let me know if there's anything else you want).

Oh, just found a mini Clinique lipgloss wand - one end is shimmery peach and the other is pinkish. It's the sort of mini you get in a free giveaway set, but still pretty cute.

BOF - have you tried Loreal Voluminous mascara? It's good stuff...

I'm not sure. I always fall for the claims, but somehow they never deliver.

I know what you mean -have tried other Loreal ones whenever a new version pops up, but they're never as good as Voluminous. Or Rimmel Exaggerate (I think that's what it's called). Have just PMed you.
