Got a fab new funky haircut last Friday and proceeded to raid the make-up counter at Space NK to really cheer me up before winter really sets in for the next 11 and a half months

I now feel foxy and ravishing and rather smugly pleased with myself

As I am kind hearted I thought I'd share:
If you normally cannot do lipstick and are disappointed with lipgloss, this is what you need: Lipstick Queen in Saint Natural
Incredibly comfy, gorgeous colour, you don't know you're wearing it (I never wear lipstick usually!!)

For eyeshadow that lasts, get the Laura Mercier primer (can't find the link)

To finish off lovely eyes, Laura Mercier eye brow powder

Also got some gorgeous eye shadow and an eye brow powder brush.

Actually you do look quite gorgeous...

My latest find is YSL Faux Cils mascara, I feel quite delightful once that's on

PoisonFrogPrincess · 03/10/2007 11:57

sounds a bit scary, is it more of an evening look?

looking good, PFP!

I got the tip about Blinc mascara from another thread here. It goes on a bit clumpy, but once it's on, it's great! (no panda eyes here)

welshmum · 03/10/2007 11:58

Nope just really effective black - well I think so, who knows about anyone else? dh hasn't made any disparaging remarks though

CountessDracula · 03/10/2007 12:00

this eyeliner is fantastic you put it on with a brush into the base of your eyelashes and it doesn't really look like you are wearing eyeliner but opens up your eyes

PoisonFrogPrincess · 03/10/2007 12:03

mmmm, not sure my skills extend to eye liner application....
Only problem with Space NK is that the lovely beautifully made-up lady gave dd a sample of foot massage gel and that she is now addicted to me massaging her feet.....

It's so easy
get the spacenk women to show you

SmartArseCoveredinCobwebs · 03/10/2007 12:13

What sort of brush, CD? I'm dying to get that smokey look under my eyes, keep trying but failing!

DastardlyDior · 03/10/2007 12:14

I like the new CLinique eye-liner pots. I have 'graphite' and 'rich brown'. They are really easy to apply with the little brush. Worth every penny IMO.

NotAnOtter · 03/10/2007 12:15

please keep these coming i am forty in 7 days!

CountessDracula · 03/10/2007 12:17

this sort of thing

satine · 03/10/2007 12:17

I love love love Space NK because you can try on everything and they don't mind. And they even let my dd try things on (she comes out looking like a slutty, Britney mini-me)

Plus they sell the oh-so-fabulous Diptyque candles.

DastardlyDior · 03/10/2007 12:17

here - I got the names wrong but the deep brown one is lovely

lilylolo eyeshadow is great esp if you are very allergic like me. You can get little sample bags for 29p that last for ages and you can try all the colours as they are so cheap!

SmartArseCoveredinCobwebs · 03/10/2007 12:19

Fabby. I'm going to give it a go, thanks CD.

NotanOtter, I'm 40 in 372 days! In fact, I've just told someone I don't have to decide where to go to lunch because I am a Libra and therefore exempt from decision-making. Now he's chosen Japanese, which I hate!

francagoestohollywood · 03/10/2007 12:20

I love spacenk, what a civilised place

lou33 · 03/10/2007 12:20

CountessDracula · 03/10/2007 12:20

eyeshadow is great tho

CountessDracula · 03/10/2007 12:21

SmartArseCoveredinCobwebs · 03/10/2007 12:22

lou33 · 03/10/2007 12:22

rimmel is my usual port of call, lol

CountessDracula · 03/10/2007 12:23

I need a trip to spacenk but am supposed to be on an economy drive

lou33 · 03/10/2007 12:23

CountessDracula · 03/10/2007 12:24
