What's your approx budget Misdee?

I really like Bobbi Brown colours - their neutrals can't be beaten. At the moment I'm wearing the Grey - it's more of a browny-grey so very easy to wear.

Further down the price range, Revlon have bought out a range of quad eyeshadows that look really nice.

If you want to be bolder with colour, I'd try Nars, Mac or Ruby & Millie.

With lip gloss, I honestly don't think it's worth going too far upmarket (though too cheap may be too gloopy). Everyone seems to love Lancome Juicy Tubes, though they're too young for me.

its been so long since i went shopping for eyeshadow i dont even know what the current prices are!

FairyTaleOfNewYork · 05/12/2007 21:32

i am misdee btw

Sparkletastic · 05/12/2007 21:34

MAC and BeneFit shadows are ace. No 7 good for slightly cheaper. Tesco Barbara Daly range also top for both lip glosses and shadows. Juicy Tubes are great but still quite sticky. My bestest gloss is my Stila one but not exactly a bargain...

FairyTaleOfNewYork · 05/12/2007 21:35

so how much is mac? [gets ready to faint]

Sparkletastic · 05/12/2007 21:41

Eyeshadows about 11 quid I think - glosses a bit more. V cheap from USA so know any real NY Fairies?! Urban Decay also ace and you often get them on bargain web-sites...

FairyTaleOfNewYork · 05/12/2007 21:44

i take it a little goes a long way? i watched that youtube video and she said the mac stuff is highly pigmented.

lizandlulu · 06/12/2007 19:45

i bought one from the body shop yesterday. i never usually go in there, and was surprised at the quality of it. it is really good. and about £7.
i have been addicted to the girl on you tube after that video thingy. she makes everything look so easy. i tried to copy her and it looked like a smudgy mess

paulaplumpbottom · 06/12/2007 19:46

I bought a fab Dior eyeshadow case thing from Duty Free. Was quite expensive at 40 euros, but it is a gorgeous mirrored case and there are 6 colours and cute applicators. Love it.
