what would it be?

Am asking as DH has offered to buy anything and everything (!) as he is traveling and thinks I never buy anything for myself. It is partly to ease his guilt about spending too much on himself, but who cares

Now, I am normally a Maybelline sort of girl. Don´t know any big brand must haves, so I need your help.

I was thinking:
-Touche Eclat (have one but it´s old and mouldy, I know I like it). Number 1 or 2???

  • Mascara for sensitive eyes (not waterproof), daywear, what is the best one around?
  • blusher or bronzer for pale days, not shimmery or glittery (as daywear)
  • good quality soft kohl pencils
  • anything else that is fab?

Any great eye cream recommendations (am almost 40, dryish skin, bit puffy sometimes)?

I would be grateful for recommendations, am an avid reader of this topic, always looking for new ideas.

Thanks in advance!!! I just don´t want to waste this chance...

he said anything, but I have perfume already, so I was thinking make-up or face cream.

lol ruby, I was going to post gin and fags, then noticed the topic

Chandon · 21/03/2010 17:40

not sure booze and fags would be enhancing my "style" and "beauty"...but maybe it´s a much better idea after all .

I second Bombay Sapphire.

chanel 505 or 503 nailvarnish. If he can get 505 buy as many as he can as currently selling for twice RRP on ebay.

Juicy tubes (lancome)

dramatically different moisturiser

nice fake tan- lancome?

make up is a tricky thing to buy another person, stick to fags n booze.
