The Mumsnet eBay scarf. I've just got it in grey. I've had so much more than £10s worth wear out of my brown one...

Sparklegeek · 12/01/2012 20:48

Garnier BB cream - think I had this BEFORE Mumsnet recommended!

Great Plains sale - the best sale ever ever ever

Desperately want to try the Babyliss Big Hair BEFORE I buy it!

What's blemish balm and OCM?

trixymalixy · 12/01/2012 21:33

Blemish balm, I have the garnier one. It's kind of a cross between foundation and moisturiser.

Oil cleansing method, haven't tried it yet.

Geordieminx · 12/01/2012 21:35

I have bighair...love it.

Sock bun most weeks... Saves valuable time for ZZzzzz

Moroccan oil...yup.

Kendodd, which illamasque eyeliner is recommended?

FannyBrawne · 13/01/2012 04:32

thanks for these tips!

also re: BB, boots also do it in thier 17 (not no 7) range for 6.99 (small tube, but still overall cheaper) and the "light" one seems to be lighter than the no7 and garnier ones (for those with pasty porcelain complexions)

trixymalixy I erm got a bit confused and recommended something from me Blush
It's a felt tip one. Best eyeliner ever.

HazleNutt · 13/01/2012 07:09

wearing your colours - I never really paid attention to that. But it's true, even if the cut is flattering, it does not help if you look washed out. Was wearing a simple shirt in the right colour the other day and 3 people told me how well it suits me.

CheerfulYank · 13/01/2012 07:17

Sigh...I really really need to do the Shred. Really. I keep telling myself, it's less than half an hour, just DO it, but I don't like it. :(

trixymalixy · 13/01/2012 08:39

Can you link to it anyway kendodd, even if it's not an official MN tried and tested Grin

Geordieminx · 13/01/2012 08:42

trix have you tried the Bobbi Brown Gel eye liner? It's fab. It comes in a lovely wee pot.
