Hi,

I've been using the Instant Radiance Concealer (shade II) for years and its fab. I also use the loose face powder and Protect & Perfect Pore Refiner.

i use their eye shadow range, brilliant! and always have such lovely colours.

valiumredhead · 03/04/2011 17:03

Yes, their eyeliners are great.

PortBlackSandwitch · 03/04/2011 17:05

They're nail polish is harder than granite and just about the only brand that stays on my manky sausages (which are in and out of water, inks, oils all day)

PortBlackSandwitch · 03/04/2011 17:06

Agree with eyeliners too - esp if you have watery eyes.

PortBlackSandwitch · 03/04/2011 17:07

Well - those last two posts painted a pretty picture of me didn't they? Grin

upahill · 03/04/2011 17:07

All of it is good reasonably priced stuff. I like it.

valiumredhead · 03/04/2011 17:12

The only thing I have been slightly disappointed with is their mineral powder foundatioin - the lightest colour has a very orange tinge - only use it in the summer when I have a tan.

SummerRain · 03/04/2011 17:15

liquid eyeliner stays on really well and has a lovely texture.

and theirsensitive eyes msacra is brilliant.... doesn't itch like all other mascaras and overs nicely, gives a lively natural look.

southeastastra · 03/04/2011 17:16

agree about the liquid eyeliner have a couple they're great!

also use lipstick and loose powder

PortBlackSandwitch · 03/04/2011 17:20

The little concealer stick (like in a lipstick tube) - is very good for me as i am pale going on blue and it is the only none orangy one i could find.

valiumredhead · 03/04/2011 17:22

There are make up police?? Shock eeeek!

I started using No 7 when BOOTS started dishing out vouchers - I have LOADS of their stuff now!. Their under eye cream is amazing stuff and only a couple of quid when you use a voucher :)

valiumredhead · 03/04/2011 17:23

The waterproof mascara in a navy tube is so good I stopped using Max Factor which I had used for years.

southeastastra · 03/04/2011 17:24

wouldn't recommend the primer really. made my skin itch

PortBlackSandwitch · 03/04/2011 17:25

sometimes on here valium - yes Hmm

sloggies · 03/04/2011 17:32

Second that mascara, among other things, is really good. Often wait for a 3 for 2 offer to stock up on stuff.

cybbo · 03/04/2011 17:35

I like their tinted moisturiser

YSL touche eclait rip off (tis better than YSL actually)

I bought a great lip fixer for lipstick from there, made it last for ages

cybbo · 03/04/2011 17:37

ooh forgot their All Day Perfection compact foundation is excellent, as good as a prescriptives one I used to use

MooMooFarm · 03/04/2011 17:37

Love their 'amazing eyes pencil' eyeliner.

valiumredhead · 03/04/2011 17:37

The primer is a bit odd,yes, odd consistency.

nenevomito · 03/04/2011 17:44

I use No7 a lot, but their mousse foundation was dreadful and sits in my cupboard for emergecy use only. I like the rest of their stuff though.

tassisssss · 03/04/2011 17:46

I like their moisturiser. I also like the £5 off offer they frequently do!

valiumredhead · 03/04/2011 17:47

The tinted moisturiser is lovely, I agree.

Librashavinganotherbiscuit · 03/04/2011 18:28

Their eyeliners and nail polishes are fantastic.
Their mineral foundation is shit.

jenniec79 · 03/04/2011 18:31

I use loads of their stuff - tinted moisturiser is my latest find!

Also use their touche eclat-alike, and love their lipglosses (think that was part of a freebie actually but great) Like their eyeshadows too, but use them less often as a rule.
