cloud I have asked my hubby to get me suddenly perfume for valentines day!. Was reading in the lidl brochure that 90% of people preferred it to chanel mademoiselle in a blind test they did-really? what do you think of it? worth £2.99?.

OP posts:
RoHart · 11/02/2012 13:34

Rimmel Liquid eyeliner (for a bit of a cat eye flick - it's the best!)
Mac Primer
Mac Concealer
Mac Studio Fix Foundation
Mac Powder
(Sometimes a bit of Benefit Hoola Bronzer for a bit of colour!)
Clinique Blusher
Any mascara that's closest! I have loads of those little tester mini sized ones, great for the hand bag - usually Lancome!
What ever lippy I fancy according to mood/occasion/outfit!

ggirl · 11/02/2012 16:12

ooh I have Suddenly perfume from lidl ..it's gorgeous. Don't know how it compares with chanel but it's a very fresh smell. Cost me £3.99 !!

flipflopflap · 11/02/2012 16:46

I have really sensitive skin, so a bit on an odd combo:

Revlon Colourstay Foundation
Lily Lolo Power over the top
(sometimes I just use the mineral power, depends how my skin looks that day)
Dr Hauschka Cream eyeshadow
Aveda Black Orchid Eyeliner
Bare Escentuals Mascara (Can't remember which one)
Sometimes a bit of lily lolo blusher if I think I need it.

cherrypieplum · 11/02/2012 16:53

ggirl I have that Suddenly stuff. My husband bought it for me and I thought it'd be vile but is very like the 'youth' version of Chanel!

I wear
Estee Lauder double something foundation
L'oreal primer
Sometime Mac stobe effects
Asda brown eyeshadow
Boujois blusher
Soap and Glory lipstick.
Maybelline mascara
Any black eyeliner I have to hand!

And Gucci usually, occasionally Clinique Happy Heart and sometimes Jo Malone pomegranate noir.

ameliagrey · 11/02/2012 16:55

Clinique City Block spf 25/40 acts as a good primer
Clarins Foundation- extra firming
Bobbi Brown cream concealer
Clarins or Clinique blusher
Clinique eye pencil
Lancome Hypnose mascara
Clinique Colour surge eye shadow in Totally Neutral- doubles as eye brow powder
Rimmel Kate Moss lippie and Clinique lip gloss

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 11/02/2012 16:58

God, you really all put all this stuff on every day? Here's my list:

Tinted moisturiser (as a tinted sunscreen; I use a plain moisturiser first)
Mascara
Body Shop powdered paper thingy on chin and forehead and under eyes before I leave the house.
If perfume counts, I usually wear Lush's B Scent.

That's it. I clearly need to make more effort.

Fraktal · 11/02/2012 16:59

L'oreal liquid black eyeliner
Estée Lauder vibratey mascara
Laura Mercier bronzer
Givenchy shimmery lipgloss which looks like bronzer for lips but is v nice
Elizabeth Arden sunflowers

Tis summer here Wink

StellaAndFries · 11/02/2012 17:00

I have the Suddenly perfume too, it was on offer last weekend for £1.99 and I thought it was worth a shot :)

Today I'm not leaving the house so I'm only wearing,
ELF eyeshadow, a glittery beige from the beauty clutch palette.
Eyeko green eyeliner
ELF lengthening and defining mascara in black
Rimmel nude lipgloss, very similar to Lancôme juicy tube but only £1 in Poundland :)
FM perfume version of Armani Diamonds and it's exactly the same, smells divine and lasts ages.

If we didn't have guests this evening I wouldn't have bothered with make up today but I don't want to scare their children!
