1 Have you bought a celeb perfume. If so what was it?
Is Vivienne Westwood a celeb? And I buy Kate Moss' perfumes for dd1.

2 If you had to choose would it be shoes or bags?
Neither excite me much tbh.

3 product you always re purchase?
Flexitol / Clarins and Aveda hand creams / Lancome Definicils when I can afford it / T Gel shampoo

4 high street or high end?
Higher end of high street but in sales plus V Westwood in the sales plus M&S and Warehouse non sales

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 18/02/2013 17:22

My Style = Audrey Hepburn crossed with Minnie Mouse crossed with Helena Bonham Carter crossed with Trinity from the Matrix-ish

ScentedNappyHag · 18/02/2013 17:25

1- Nope, although I quite like the Beyonce Heat one.
2- Shoes.
3- I buy roughly three pairs of red stilettos a year as I wear them out so quickly Blush
4- Mainly high street.

EnjoyResponsibly · 18/02/2013 17:25

No. Hate sleb anything TBH?

Shoes.

Clinique Stellar Plum lipgloss/moisturiser/mascara. Nivea body lotion. Jo Malone perfume.

High street but not H&M, Primark as I just can't see things I like no matt how hard I try.

ScentedNappyHag · 18/02/2013 17:27

Oh, and my style in three words? Rockabilly Dot Cotton Grin

nilbyname · 18/02/2013 17:34

my style

Hmmm...Dr Nikki alexander from Silent Witness, with a bit of Kate Moss thrown in.

ElectricMonk · 18/02/2013 17:38

Good thread! Grin

  1. Glow by Jennifer Lopez. I still quite like it.
  2. Shoes. But only Dr Martens, and only because I have the only 2 bags I'll ever want.
  3. Avene Skin Recovery Cream, Real Techniques Expert Face Brush and Stippling Brush.
  4. High Street.

Style in 3 words: understated, slightly goth.

MimikosPanda · 18/02/2013 17:40
  1. Celeb perfume? No, never
  2. Shoes/bags? Crikey, bags every time, no brainer!
  3. Always re-buy Rimmel True Match foundation, DP skinny jeans, Primark vests
  4. High street, preferably the cheaper end too
4TheLoveOfBob · 18/02/2013 17:47

Some questions for you all....

1 I like J-Lo Miami Glow for summer hols. It has a kind of fruity, coconutty scent which goes with beachy holidays and balmy evrnings.

2 Deffo shoes over bags. Specifically, boots. I am obssessed with them.

3 I chop and change beauty products a lot, but always stick with:

  • Clinique Self Sun fake tan (not blotchy or orange, weird smell fades quickly, lasts ages on);
  • Victorias Secrets body sprays - good for a quick, light spritz of scent when perfume seems too heavy;
  • Stella McC perfume (just love it);
  • Vaseline rose lip balm (but I decant it into a little plastic pot from Boots as those vaseline tins are so tricky to open)

4 high street all the way. I bought a designer coat this winter, and occasionally splash out on shoes, but I like buying lots of stuff as I get so bored of clothes so quickly, so cheaper stuff makes sense.

EmpressMaud · 18/02/2013 17:47

My style

Classic, practical, bohemian, feminine (in my mind anyway Blush )

cornykatona · 18/02/2013 17:50
