I have some vouchers burning a hole in my pocket & fancy some new makeup, what’s the one product you can’t live with out, always come back to, doesn’t smudge, pill, etc

I really rate Benifit roller lash mascara, it stays put pretty well although not waterproof.

Strikeoutnow · 28/12/2024 16:04

Sorry! Pretty flexible on budget, I have vouchers for Space NK, Cult Beauty & John Lewis

A recent discovery that I am planning on buying again is Lisa Eldridge Skin Tint (Space NK)

@LivingDeadGirlUK i do need a new mascara, I used to use a L’Oréal one which I loved. Never budged and made my lashes look great but I can’t find it anymore & haven’t found a good alternative.

Victoria Beckham eyeliner. I'm addicted and I won't use anything else now.

And Erborian BB crème. Looks natural yet makes your skin look amazing.

I have tried them all for my stumpy thin lashes and I love Two Faced Better Than Sex mascara the best :)

@Britpopbaby Ive not tried anything yet from LE but like the look of her stuff. I don’t wear foundation but the skin tint is definitely something I would use.

@ThisRedTraybake thats the sensible option but I want something to play with asap! 😆

I bought hourglass ambient lighting pallette recently upon recommendation from a couple of mumsnetters, it's absolutely excellent. Ain't cheap but damn it's good.

Strikeoutnow · 28/12/2024 16:29

@HundredMilesAnHour heard good things about that, I’ve currently got a CT one but not fussed about it. I have a CC crème from Eborian which I do really like, never tried BB crème.

Chanel Coco Flash and Coco Rouge Lipsticks, Surratt Eye Shadow, Westman Atelier Super Loaded Tinted Highlighter.

Strikeoutnow · 28/12/2024 16:30

@cactuswoman that’s is in my basket! I have blusher & bronzer from Hourglass which I do love. Do you just use it for highlighting or all over glow?

superplumb · 29/12/2024 08:30

Eboraian cc cream, charlotte tulbury mascara?

MulberryPeony · 29/12/2024 11:01

I’ go for:
Gisou hair oil
Drunk Elephant bronzi
Glossier cloud paint (not tried this though)
Briogeo banana shampoo

If you want a new blush, the Milk jelly blush stick is incredible! That stuff does.not.budge! In fact it dries so quickly and is so unmovable, you need to sort quick blending it in. I use a brush to apply to blend it properly.

I've never found any other makeup product I would call a Holy Grail product, still looking for a pencil eyeliner that doesn't budge and a mascara that doesn't budge or flake (even my trust No7 tubing mascara has started to flake on me)

buckeejit · 29/12/2024 11:20

By Terry hyaluronic powder, although tried a swatch of the ysl eyeliner - limited lines or something at the airport & seemed vg- I love kiko eyeliners though which are much cheaper!

marthaisintheway · 29/12/2024 11:31

I used to swear by Benefit roller lash as all other mascaras smudged all over the place.
I then discovered Maybelline Sky High. It's brilliant, doesn't move and is much cheaper. Save your money on mascara and spend it on all the yummy stuff.

Haha op you're like me I love playing with makeup 😂

fisht · 29/12/2024 11:36

I don't like the Westman atelier highlighters, they just look like glitter on me.

Rina66 · 29/12/2024 11:45

Vieve skin dew in the travel size for £11 will give you lots of playing options

Charlotte Tilbury settting spray

H & M Do It All stick
