Marks & Spencer Makeup and Skincare?

[TheGruffalo2]

Has anyone tried any of M&S's brand? And what do you think of it?

I don't use make up usually but wanted some for a wedding so I got the tinted moisturiser and the concealer pencil both in 'light'. The tinted moisturiser is more like foundation than moisture IMO. And the concealer is not good, it sort of rolls off when you touch face

Not promising, then! Shame as I have a M&S voucher to spend.

The sun cream is OK and I have used the Formula age repair skin serum range as an alternative to the Boots No 7 one as it is cheaper and seems just as good.

On the other hand you could buy some yummy key lime pie from the food section

Hate the eyeshadows - they seem to have no pigment in them whatsoever. Are you near a branch that has one of the big beauty departments with lots of different brands? Those are excellent and have brands that you don't see elsewhere very often (I really like Apivita for masks and lip balms) and they have some nice perfumes too.

I was in a similar position Gruff. Ended up using my voucher to buy Philip Kingsley hair stuff as I know I will use this, couldn't find anything else I felt was worthwhile.

I think M&S stock Nuxe skincare, which is lovely.

If you go to a larger M&S with a "Beauty Hall" you'll find upmarket brands to rival a London department store. Look online too, you'll see them there.

Their Pure facial oil for nightime is really nice only six pounds too!
