right
for birthday got from Finny the Eliz arden night repari stuff so am starting that
gorge SIl got me the nuxe gold oil thing from space NK
still love liz arden doublewear eeyliner in graphite loks like shadow and ffab for green eyes
LOVE mac eyeshadow in beautiful iris too
am still using concealer more.

LTEC andi are interested in clinique dark spot(!) concealer too

not the dirty mac...

i love benefit too have dandelion and the new one sugar bomb and love it

have tried the rebel lite tinted moisturiser but i think i need more coverage than that

mac eyebrow pencils made me cross because they kept breaking (was using the propelling kind) so lasted approx. 1 week

dirty blonde sounds like the right kind of colour though, I hate it when they go all red

I probably just need to accept that I am going to have to sharpen not twist then my eyebrow pencil world will open up

nope I like the pencil better tbh
can't get on with benefit at all but love lm secret concealer

shadow not a go for me wat, I have such very very fine brows (how precious!) and cannot manage to apply shadow between the lines as it were

I like the colours in the Chanel compact though

has anyone tried dior eyeshadow? i was gushing over one of their sets today

I am a fan of Benefit EyeBright, but I agree a lot of it is middle quality stuff but £££.

I am in love with my Beauty Flash Balm. I also think the Estee Lauder Sumptuous Bold Volume Lifting Mascara is a great mascara but not that great at lifting.

Fab thread! Right, I Love....

*Vitalumiere for day and Pro Lumiere for night.
*LM does a really good mineral lose powder and their sparkle dust is amazing.
*Nars do a brilliant bronzer which goes a long way.
*I know there is a lot of benefit bashing going on but I have the new sugar bomb blusher and it is really good, as is their stay don't stray eye base.
*BB for gel eye liners, especially the metallics with a bit of glitter in them!
*Mac for eye shadows but also Ruby and Millie are quite good too and high colour pigment in them.
*BB do some lovely lipsticks with shea butter in which I find are great for my dry lips, the new Chanel Rouge range is very good also.
*Lancome do an amazing fake tan - flash bronzer which doesn't streak and the smell is not too bad either.
*No.7 do some really good eye liners with smudgers which blend very well (also have a great purple limited edition at the mo. which is lovely!)

• Diorshow is ok, I got talked into buying their latest extase one which is not as good imho but also really like GOSH mascara.
• Have brushes by lots of people but my favourites would have to be LM, BB and benefit slanted blusher brush.

Think I best stop there!

I love threading too, I also have my eyelashes permed every three months as I have quite small eyes and long lashes. It makes a big difference.

WHY does everybody hate benefit?

their lip glosses rock

I think its a quality vs price thing.You can get similar quality cheaper.

Though they do have a few really good products.

ADVICE NEEDED PLEASE

Have very short blonde eyelashes, so need thickening type mascara

Have always used the L'Oreal stuff where you put a white thickener on first - works wonders- and then the lash thickening mascara.
However they now seem to only do it in Black, and I need brown or blue (black is too heavy).

I also prefer waterproof mascara, or something that really doesn't smudge, as otherwise I always seem to end up like a panda by the end of the day.

Any personal recommendations?

"susylvesters make up thread"???? what is this? i expect better from you
bit name droppy isn't it

Why never blue? (Although confess I don't ever wear blue... it's just definitely not black...)

I was going to ask about that blinc mascara... I bought the trial size the other day after reading about it on here and it's very good while it's on, but I could swear it took half my eyelashes with it when I removed it like they said you should (lots of water and gentle pressure). It was a bit worrying and I haven't dared try since in case I lose more!

didn't that happen to anyone else? Am I removing it in the wrong way?

ok - Just tried on new topshop eye crayon and its fab.

Subtle glitter but glides on - far superior to £££ nars one.

And this lip treatment feels fab on and I have dry lips.

tracybath thats a funny eyecrayon

please link properly as i LOVE eyecrayons

oops

Trying to wean myself off Benefit, but some of their stuff is lovely. However my Dandelion blush is running out and I feel I need to branch out. Any recommendations?

Am actually a bit of a Clinque convert, I use their Almost Makeup tinted moisturiser and their high impact is the only mascara I will ever wear. Can't stand the panda eyes from normal mascara, and this stuff just comes off with water and doesn't smudge. Can be a little flakey so perhaps wouldn't wear with contacts.

For concealer I love Bare Minerals Well Rested Powder.

i like the look of the eye crayon
is it very BLUE that one~?

I looked for a greeny one but couldnt see one
