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!

I bought the gel liner and the brush.

About £35 total or so ? (faints at own stupidity)

It was FAB for 2 days, then I left the lid off by accident.

the end.

MUA is just as good and 3 quid

chandon brush and pot of gel is £7 on ebay for future reference.

I have a MUA shadow which is fab - I might have to investigate other products!

No they aren't - I know my make up - they might be all knocked though Wink

YY, some ebay stuff is fakeyfakey, other stuff is old stock/discontinued/etc. Just check feedback.

Yes, see this cautionary thread. Robert Mugabe sells knock-off eyeliner on eBay.

I'm not reading 7 pages bof Grin

Yes, pinot is right, you need to check feed back and I only buy from power sellers so they value their feedback. Lots of make up on ebay comes from the states or is pinched by orange ladies and sold on

Yeah, I got a Benefit Brow-zings on ebay recently and it's definitely either fake or dodgy seconds.

As for Bobbi Brown, I really like some of the lippies. The gel liners aren't that amazing now just about every make up brand does one but I think Bobbi Brown was the first one to do them (or maybe Mac Confused) so hers are seen as the original and best.

I really wanted to like her foundation but it brought me out in spots. The tinted balm is lovely though.
