Any brands that are esp good? She is 27, and an Anthropologie devotee, if that give you a sense of her style. Budget: probably under £30. Foundation/blusher brush & eyeliner brush especially requested.

TIA

I think that Body shop ones are very good and sometimes you can get good deals on them as well.

FannyGallop · 30/04/2012 12:03

Body Shop!

Just superb.

funnypeculiar · 30/04/2012 12:04

Really, that's very cheap & easy!
Was expecting you all to tell me nothing below MAC was worthwhile ... Grin

MAC and Bobbi Brown are lovely. But no better than Body Shop (really). Online the Body Shop often has % off and free delivery etc. And with Quidco you get cash back.

If only all things in life were so simple :)

Body shop. Really good.

GobblersKnob · 30/04/2012 12:19

Body shop are great and they nearly always have a code.

Just looked NEW30, gets you £10 off ofa £30 spendSmile

funnypeculiar · 30/04/2012 12:22

Great code, GobblersKnob - thank you. Assume that's online only?

And everyone agrees

Is it bad that I'm a BIT disapointed you haven't all forced me into SpaceNK to buy something poncy?!

I'm really liking these Real Techniques brushes m.boots.com/mt/www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/EndecaSearchListerView?storeId=10052&langId=-1&catalogId=10551&stReq=1&searchTerm=real+techniques&un_jtt_search=Go

they're designed by one of the Pixiwoo sisters (YouTube Makeup artists). I don't have any of the sets, but the blusher and stippling brush are lovely and soft and v good quality.

Yes, online only, though you might be better with PAMPER50 if you were canny with ordering, it give 50% off it you order 10 items, if you throw in a few cheap things like the basket below, then you can get 6 brushes for only £39 delivered, which is a bargain. Just a thought Smile

Good idea, GobblersKnob - and that's a fab list - can you do all my shopping for me - I have an ocado order to sort...?!

Humm, I could also get dh his shampoo (the only shampoo he'll use is a bodyshop one) so that would be worthwhile anyway. Off to shop Grin
