ooooh, I have fallen in love with clarins illusion foundation, but its pricey

[TrampyPants]

I had a free sample and its just fabulous. It sits beautifully, doesn't slide off (I did my make up at 7 and its still all in place now, and looks fresh) I have decided that I may have to just accept that you get what you pay for and get a proper sized one. It seems to be about £25 everywhere, escentuals has it for £19 (or thereabouts) has anyone seen it any cheaper? Or as part of a deal? Or an alternative that's just as good, I normally use no7.

I've been using Estee Lauder's Double Wear and love it but have since discovered BB cream. L'oreal's is my favourite. I don't use any other foundation and it stays on all day... however, my eye make-up is another thing, I look like Alice Cooper most days, but not as attractive..

I love no7 bb cream, it's ace for everyday wear. I always have issues with mascara. I end up with black eyes. Clinique do a good mascara though, best I've found, certainly.

Thanks for the tip, I'll try a Clinique one. So embarrassing - I went to a meeting today got in the car to go home and caught sight of myself in the rear view mirror... frightening!

I'll check the name. I'm the same, I don't often wear mascara because of it. PLUS I wear glasses.

I use Diors nude foundation as mil bought me some for Xmas a few yes ago, I used to use no7. There is no comparison, there are some things in life which are worth the money and foundation seems to be one of those things!

Flossie, yep. I always spend more on nail polish, but never thought that foundation, etc would be worth going higher end. I was wrong. No7 is okay, but I was so shocked today. Its just lush.
