Are you a cosmetics snob? Make up gurus over here.

I am having a re-think. For years I have bought mid-upper range products, mainly because my skin sometimes has the odd bit of eczema, so my make up bag is mainly Clinique. I also have some Dior, Lancome, Laura Mercier and Bobbi Brown.

However, now I am in need of some blusher and thinking- why spend £20+ on Clinique for a silver case, mirror i won't use and a useless brush when Rimmel does one for £3.99?

Is there really any difference?

I used ot loooooove Prescriptives blusher- perfect shade and lovely texture. L Mercier blusher is great, but limited shades lately, so what about cheap end? Any difference?

kelly -quinn sums it up nicely, a more natural look and faster. Have yet to have a gander at my mug to see if it has lasted though will get back to you.

For those of you who like some of Benefit offerings try Superdrugs range 2true, they do a copy of most of their products including Benetint - the rose stain for cheeks &lips, it's great and £1.99 !
