Celeb perfume - No

Shoes/Bags - Hmm both, shoes if I absolutely have to choose.

Always buy - Jo Malone perfume, Clinique Superbalanced foundation, Clarins Beauty Flash Balm, Nivea Soft.

High St/Designer - Bit of a mix, but mainly top end High St and designer shoes, jeans & knitwear (mainly bought in sales or with good discount).

Style in 3 words - casual, classy, leather-lover! (sounds a bit dodgy but can't think of another description Grin)

MrsSnow · 18/02/2013 18:10
  1. No
  2. Bags
  3. Nivea day face cream, kiels factor 50 face cream, L'Oriel studio primer
  4. High street with the occasional high end thrown in!
TheEarlyBird · 18/02/2013 18:11

No,
Bags - but also like shoes so a tough one!
Elnett hairspray, Vaseline, Mitchum,
High Street - more expensive end as sadly Zara doesn't work if you're 5'9" and a 12/14. Wish it did.

3 words - classic, neutral, tailored. (Bloody hell - makes me sound very dull, in my imagination I am Paris chic :) )

MissBeehivingUnderTheMistletoe · 18/02/2013 18:14

  1. Sleb perfume - technically no but have bought a David Beckham aftershave so probably counts Grin
  2. Shoes, unhealthily so
  3. Always buy Chanel vitalumiere aqua, elnett, coconut oil
  4. Mix high street and high end

Style - minimalist simple luxe

MissBeehivingUnderTheMistletoe · 18/02/2013 18:15

Is anyone else humming the "Getting to know you" from the King and I? Grin

AmberNectarine · 18/02/2013 18:17
  1. Was going to say no, but then remembered I bought J.Lo Glow when I was about 16. The shame.
  1. Bags but it's like Sophie's choice
  1. Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser
  1. About 90% high end

Style in 3 words - contemporary, casual, comfortable.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 18/02/2013 18:22

I missed the 3 words limit!

Dp calls my style, 'Broken down toff' but I prefer, 'Slightly off kilter' overall, I think.

Wewereherefirst · 18/02/2013 18:23
  1. No. Was given a JLo body lotion as a teen
  1. Shoes,
  1. Nothing at the moment
  1. 99% High street. Love high end though.

My style: stereotypical illfitting cheap.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 18/02/2013 18:28

1 No, but secretly fancy trying a Kate Moss one

2 shoes

3 I have loyal love for lots of products, but some off the top of my head are: Lush peppermint foot lotion. Original Source shower gels. Body Shop oatmeal and honey face mask. Dermalogica body lotion but only as an occasional treat.

4 high street, sadly.

faustina · 18/02/2013 18:28

faustina · 18/02/2013 18:29

MissBeehivingUnderTheMistletoe · 18/02/2013 18:30

  3. Eve Lom cleanser

1 No, but have sniff tested to make sure I wasn't missing out on a hidden gem

2 Shoes, always searching for comfy but not clumpy

3 Toner that my sister makes, only thing that is not too harsh for my annoyingly sensitive skin

4 High street, mostly.

Style in 3 words: Room for improvement

MarshaBrady · 18/02/2013 18:50
  1. No
  2. Shoes but only because I have few bags, but the ones I do I love.
  3. Aveda pure abundance and Lancome stuff
  4. More high end but in spurts

My style: insouciant, understated, luxurious, I mean luxe (ie I buy stuff and then sort of throw it on and wear it til it runs out).

peachypips · 18/02/2013 19:12
  1. No never. I scorn them.
  2. Shoes. Colourful ones. Yellow or red if poss.

  4. High street.
My style in three words: colourful, eclectic, 80s!!
MrsRogerSterling · 18/02/2013 19:15
  1. No
  2. Shoes/boots, used to be bags but since having the dd's I tend not to use my handbags as much anymore, they don't look as good hanging of a pram handle!
  3. Elvive Extraordinary Hair Oil, Liz Earl cleanse and polish.
  4. Both.
