i have a nother new cunnign idea

[codface]

ok lets do mumsnet beauty and style "awards" - ideal fo r us whoo like pretending we can still look nice.
make up bagsy first
and then mn towers can add it all up and we can approach sponsors for hte website

Does this mean that ive won the award......

The fact that i have killed this thread DEAD is this because none of you can compare your beauty products to mine.........

OOOOOHHHHH! scary moment, just had to check my original post, thought i had missed the "o" out of count.....

Sounds good, don't suppose we could occasionally have make-up/clothes/online shopping for our reviews rather than kiddy stuff? (baby equipment, nappies, etc, etc) Then we could enter the competition? As long as the prize isn't a highchair.

For me:
Best lipgloss Dior Ultra Gloss
Best foundation - Elizbeth Arden Flawless Finish
Mascara - Dior Ultimeyes
Eyeliner - Elizabeth Arden (dior smudges and gives me panda eyes)

I do have a huge make up bag though but those are my staple items.

LOL MrsSPoon!! Good idea though!

oh my word, skinnycow, I always had you down for Boots17 or Elizabeth Duke, you do surprise me

love the idea of somoenthing called ultra gloss

IMO

Best Foundation - Clinique

Best Skincare - Olay Total Effects

Best Mascara - Benefit Bad Gal Lash

Best Eyeshadow - Clinique (couldn't believe the difference after using cheap stuff all my life)

Best Lipstick - Max Factor, although could be swayed to try something new.

Foundation - Chanel Teint pur mat
Mascara - Max Factor lash lift
Eye liner - Max Factor
Nail varnish - Chanel, dries and hardens really quick and doesn't chip
Eye shadow - urban decay
Lip gloss - Chanel, just bought a new one yesterday and it's lovely.

er that's about it

Oh yes, skincare..

Roc hydra destressant, and it's on 3 for 2 at Boots at the min

suzy I cant believe you just said that!

For nails can I nominate my nail technician Lisa? She is marvellous and comes to the house to do it so I don't even have to get off my lazy arse

To get that radiant wide awake look it has to be Clinique all about eyes eye gel, Clarins beauty flash balm and for an instant skin brightner Ultima II glotion.

Foundation? That would be the concrete stuff they pour in holes to build houses on top of?

Vitamin E Oil from Holland and Barrett is good staple too - for oiling the bod - don't waste your money on fancy packaging

Bourgeois Coup de Theatre (sp) mascara is great for my little piggy eyes.

Touche eclat is also a staple, as I always look hanging.

glotion?
talk glotion

best lippy is red earth
best mascara is Mac pro long lash
best foundation is Mac too b ut can't remember what it's called cos I ran out months ago and can't afford any more (sob)

Cod, glowtion - sorry I got the spelling wrong!! It's a fab little 15ml bottle of magic. It's a skin brightening moisturiser (light) which you apply after moisturising. I usually apply it over the top of foundation to get that sunkissed tan look. It can be used on the cheekbones instead of blusher to get that Kylie sheen. It's a fab product and here's the best bit I buy it from my local market for £2.50 it usually retails for £6.95. Ebay sell it and saveonmakeup.co.uk are selling it for £2.99.

Glowtion would make my already oil slick face look like I'd just come out of a sauna!!!

Sherlock-so you don't normally "do" AVON then??
-except for the bath,I hope!! Will remember that for the next swap!!!
