I like the pots of gel liner - over priced but you can get them ..ahem.. elsewhere so a lot cheaper Wink - so doesn't matter too much when they dry out.

The lip glosses are ok I suppose - but all the same colour really.Hmm

I was convinced by a friend that the new gel liners are fabulous and the really stay put. Errr no, tbh the Avon one is just as good and I prefer the colours, certainly not worth the £17 they cost and I have just wasted half the bloody pencil as you need to sharpen it every time you use it as it's so soft.

I love make up but I stand at the BB counter totally uninspired as everything looks the same colour!

JodieHarsh · 16/10/2012 15:27

Do any of these blushers actually stay on your damn face for longer than 10 minutes?

My interesting pallor is all very In Keeping with my Gothic Nightgown Tendencies but I am mildly sick of looking like I was dug up last week Sad

I have but I LOST it, and it never really hung around....

I don't mind a bit of the old BeneTint, but I object to Benefit on principle.

JodieHarsh · 16/10/2012 15:29

Yes, well. I'm so over all that faux-nostalgia vintage shite. I've been wearing SECOND HAND CLOTHES for years and don't make a song and dance about it. All right I do a bit, but still.

And don't get me started on those little cardboard boxes they put their shite in. PINK CARDBOARD BOXES. For the 13 year old in your life, presumably.

In my day we had an Avon powder puff with glitter in the talc and were GRATEFUL.

GetOrfAKAMrsUsainBolt · 16/10/2012 16:00

Or Constance Carroll roll on lipgloss in cherry flavour.

Actually I want one of those NOW.

GetOrfAKAMrsUsainBolt · 16/10/2012 16:01

Luckily my dd rarely wears make up, but when she does get the urge she tried to poke her fingers into my By Terry and Trish McEvoy stuff. At which I say GET YE TO RIMMEL, TEENAGER.

i don't really but I should

JodieHarsh · 16/10/2012 16:02

I used to steal all the Rimmel testers

I'm sure my 10 years as a Sunday School teacher* was an attempt to assuage the guilt.

*What?!

Pinot · 16/10/2012 16:03

Jodie you got PMT, lovey?

BeneFUCK is awful, agreed.

I want some ivy eyeliner now.

at "a bit cruise wear" The very notion

GetOrfAKAMrsUsainBolt · 16/10/2012 16:05

Jodie you are being hilarious today. Grin

Yes pinot try the green eyeliner, it is very good. I have got green eyes and instinctively it feels againts the grain to wear the same colour in case I look like some woman on the front cover of Woman's Realm circa 1983, but it really works.

I am going to get those pots in all the colours of the rainbow.

I'm sure you aren't cruse material pinot......are you? Wink
