Thank goodness for that my dp bought me a make over (£25) and you wouldn't belive what make up he thought that bought, let alone the brushes (I did say I topped up a bit!!)

love their mineralize powder but does anyone else think their lipstick smells WEIRD - sort of playdoughy?

and seeing as I have unexpectedly found myself on a make up thread, can anyone give me some tips about tinted moisturizer (which I have just discovered, along with skinny jeans, I am fashion backward). Had a Clarins sample but it was verrrry drying and scarily orange. then it calmed down a bit and now am quite liking this naturally tanned look. How do you put it on and what's the best one?

ps if Mac pr are watching I am a very famous top model

and mum

my dd (3) once plastered herself with a very indelible Mac tranny red lipstick. That took some serrious scrubbing to get off. There are probably still remnants in her pores and always will be.

harpomarx · 17/04/2008 21:49

am googling feverishfish, the name is promising.

now i remember in my more glamorous london days I used something gorgeous by Guerlain but I don't think it was for the face.

am googling vitalumiere, not feverishfish, though your name is also promising.

harpomarx · 17/04/2008 21:50

ha ha at oompa loompa.

remember being being approached by an oompa loompa for a congratulatory kiss on my wedding day.

Will never buy again up what should we all be wearing ? . Orange pancake and blue eyshadow or maybe as a mum in their eyes we should not be wearing make up at all.... SO I take it everybody who works for Mac has no children ?????

harpomarx · 18/04/2008 20:42

ffish, bianca jagger of course.

I looked bloody gorgeous.

bluesky · 19/04/2008 12:16

Mac obviously haven't heard of the mumsnet effect. Look whats happened to Waitrose botty cream, it's sales and publicity. (daily mail today).

Now, if we all stopped buying Mac, as obviously we are all old, mumsy and unfashionable, ooh how they'd suffer!!

I did a link earlier on In The News - they covered it on BBC breakfast today as well

Nbg · 19/04/2008 12:28

I would be really interested to know what percentage of MAC users are actually mums and who the rest of their buyers are.

I may email.......

ImflightbutIcantlogintoday · 19/04/2008 12:28

can you send them a link to this thread perhaps? How arsy can they be!!!

I don't even use make up btw but still

Nbg · 19/04/2008 12:36

Sorry I've emailed.

Couldnt help myself.
I wasnt snotty with them, just asked about their recent market research findings

ImflightbutIcantlogintoday · 19/04/2008 12:40

Might let the pros handle it...
