lets talk make up again because

Gingermonkey, I'm also a speccy 4eyes but that means you have to work harder to get your eyes noticed!

Twinset, I'm not into anything that requires a separate utensil myself. I have a hard enough time keeping DS out my make-up drawer, I need make-up in secure self-contained units with no tantalising brushes lying around to clean the toilet with .

Has anyone had a good liquid eyeshadow stick lately? I found these have great staying power but am running out of my ancient H&M one.

this Clinique bronzer is really fab

i have got a nice eyelid base thingy from mac (see it really is far too close to office) £10 does keep soft eyeliners in place. esp now i seem to need some sort of surgery to keep my brow bit from smudging it all off.

am happy to admit i am lacking in bravery vis a vis make-up

vary brands but in essence it all boils down to

every day: cream blush and mascara
going out: base plus above plus browny/bronzey powder plus eyeliner plus maybe shine on lips

love chanel extracils mascara

and am curretnly trying out a couple of kiehls items i was persuaded to buy in spaceNK - a tinted moisturiser and a juicy tubes type affair

yes I have bought that eye base it is good, clinique does a good one as well as does benefit actually.

city block by clinque is the most wonderful stuff - esp this time of year - non-gloopy sun block. I had it in sheer tint last year which I loved but could not find it today.

Not really make up but good sun block for face.

oh and mayvbeleine long stay lip coluor is fab too - but have said that already on a nother thread.

can't do eyeshadow as have specs so look like Deirdre Barlowe, it's got to be liner all the way. none of your pen nonsense, applied with a brush.
NOW, i ust need to say that i've found The Best Foundation Ever Made. Paul & Joe. First base i've had (and i've had a few) where the light reflecting particles actually reflect light. the visual effect like beauty flash balm, you now, that perky but well-slept thing. but without that bizarre pasty tightening that you get with BFB.

this benfit eyeshadow is lurvely

I think that is one of the shades I have.

AS all you ladies obviously know your make up I have a small question.

My YSL Touche Eclat has recently started to smell of wet blazer. I've cleaned the brush bit but I think the smell is coming from within. This isn't a good sign is it? I will be very if you say I have to chuck it out, but equally do not want to end up with hideous eye bag fungal infection.

So chuck or not?

how long have you had it?

did you read that thing in the sunday times about bacteria and make up? [vomit]

Apparently we are supposed to change things in our make up bag every 3 months.

I have things lurking in there from student days!

thinking about it though can't work out how bacteris would get into it.

Take it back and make a stroming fuss.

I'm using benefit's lemoniad forunder eyes as have run out of touche ecalt,quite good even though it's meant for eyelids imo

Bacteria can get in from the brush, I guess.

BishyBarneyBee - is the Clinique city block matte? And what spf is it? I could do with some sun block for my face that doesn't make me look as if I've stuck my face in a vat of chip oil.

Touche eclat prob about 4-5 months old now. Can't take it back as MIL buys it for me from NAFFI store in Germany. I've been using it (the product) since my wedding and am a diehard fan. Have never had one go all whiffy on me before.

I think I will prob chuck, and start on my new pen. boohoo I do hate chucking pricey stuff.

Jackie - city block is fab - goes on matte and not gresy at all. ou can get spf 15, 25 or 40. think 15 is fine.

go to clinique counter and ask fro sample.

city block

Brilliant - thank you. Will give it a go.
