i just bought that max factor powder foundation stuff

[NappiesGaloriaInExcelsis]

from the advert? where you are sposed to be able to build natural looking cover?

er, WHY is it glittery??

oh.. I was hoping it would be better than the l'oreal one that made me look like joan collins and david dickinson's love child

Their definition of 'natural' I suppose

nice mental image there holly

wll, i suppos it is natural... if i were a fairy or something.
grrrr

natural looking my ARSE

the real image was worse trust me... I know how disappointing it is though - you see something and get your hopes up it'll be a perfect product but so often end up disappointed.

although have been very happy with the reissue of bourjois retro classic eyeshadow/blush

oh really? will have alookout.

not that i get a chance to go all out and have eyeshadow on v often these days

fwiw, the protect and perfect foundation is pretty good. so long as your skin isnt dry and flaky (must remember to exfoliate more often )

lol me neither but its got a dinky litle applicator and is qutie subtle

ah, subtle. that'll do me then. less obvious when i fuck it up

yep know what you mean - I can apply slap whilst singing kookaburra and waving a plastic giraffe these days...

if you're after mineral foundation, get some of the lily lolo stuff, it's the only one I've found that doesn't make you look all shiney, but watch out for some of the blushers or bronzers, they do have lots of shimmer. Go for the matt ones. Very nice and cheap too. You can order testers to check the colours before you buy, but they're pretty cheap as well.

the queens of multitasking eh?

headfairy, thanks for that tip. i did snurk at the girl on the homepage whose make up looks awful and anything but natural imo, but the products look nice and i like the idea of tesers before you buy, good one.

yeah, ignore the front page, but they're the only ones that don't have that odd metallic sheen that I've come across. They have masses of colours too, the Skin Ecensuals (or what ever crazy way they have of spelling it) only comes in limited colours.
