well you know PRODUCT, not my " beauty" or lack therefof

ok NOTHING To tell yet about the clinique dark spot corrector.
i got the estee lauder advance night repair for birthday and tbh its a bit meh
was disappointed as i had great hopes.

i still LOVE and beseech you all to try this
pot au rouge. I am swarthy but nonetheless have it in a MUCH browner shade than i would have chosen , ask for adivce its sheeny andslightly dewy and SO natural looking that it gives oyu a hint of 70s health!

right then i LOVE the BB under eye concealer in Bisque( yes i poncily call it BEESK)here but couldnt lug the brush and it around to work when you look and say AARGh at lunchtime i need makeup
so i have just invested in this teeny tiny one in a cute little portable pen to shove in handbag and its not like the YSL one that makes you look like a panda in negative.

I too had the estee lauder night stuff and found it useless.

Like the look of the doublewear and eye brightener though.

AlaskaNebraska · 14/06/2010 12:26

its the best ever pencil
goes on in a thick line so it looks like wet shadow

Agree totally about the Doublewear eye pencil. If you put it on under eyeshadow it turns a different colour (mine is onyx, if I ut purple eyeshadow on top it goes a lovely plum colour). It also is very soft and doesn't scratch. I am normally a liquid eyeliner girl - this is the only kohl pencil I have ever liked. It's brilliant and the pencil lasts for donkey's years.

I have been banging on for years on MN about By Terry Touche Velouté concealer and nobody ever listens

Have advanced night repair eye cream and it is very good, i don;t have any bags or wrinkles, just purple shadows which I think's heredtary anyway. Perhaps am too young for eye cream anyway

My latest beauty discovery is Maybelline bronzing mousse - I am snow white pale, so ususally bronzer makes me look like I have bathed in mud, but this one is golden and pale, so look naturally sun kissed.

traceybath · 14/06/2010 12:38

Oooh may have to purchase some of that maybelline stuff.

AlaskaNebraska · 14/06/2010 12:38

has anyone bought glamour mag for the freebie eye thing?

i have the eye brightner and it is actually rather marv...

MayorNaze · 14/06/2010 12:41

is benefit btw

GetOrfMoiLand · 14/06/2010 12:41

Don't start on By Terry.

If we discounted make up brands because they have ludicrous names where would we all be in life.

Shu Eumura (sp). Benefit. Max Factor. maybelline. Ruby and Millie. Smashbox. They are all stupid names.

I never paint my fingernails, I can't be arsed, it always looks shit.

AlaskaNebraska · 14/06/2010 12:43

IPredictADiet · 14/06/2010 12:43

I got the By Terry concealer, but even the palest one was too dark once I got out of the shop.

Am back on touche eclat

AlaskaNebraska · 14/06/2010 12:45

OP posts:
GetOrfMoiLand · 14/06/2010 12:46

Crikey Diet you must be paler than me, and i am vampire like.

I file my nails Alaska and put on shiney nail treatment stuff, just don't paint 'em. I don;t get 'this is this season's must have nail colour' shite.

MayorNaze · 14/06/2010 12:46

i have never heard of by terry

is he a cousin of barry?

on the subject of freebies i also got the jemma kidd lipgloss in another mag an that is v summery and tastes slightly of watermelon...

LimaCharlie · 14/06/2010 12:46

lurks for beauty advice as have missed your blog

GetOrfMoiLand · 14/06/2010 12:47

Touche Eclat never worked for me at all. I remenber delightedly buying it, trying it on in car and thinking is that it? Gave it to dd in the end.

AlaskaNebraska · 14/06/2010 12:48

Sigh.

GetOrfMoiLand · 14/06/2010 12:49

By Terry is sold in Space NK.

I love Space NK. I always feel like I sully the place though when I go in there, it is so white and serene. Then I walk in knocking over displays etc.

AlaskaNebraska · 14/06/2010 12:49

ShirleyKnot · 14/06/2010 12:51

Touche Eclat mings hard. I used to buy them and they always went stinky. (I am in lurve with Chanel's equivalent one)

IPredictADiet · 14/06/2010 12:51

ooh, I quite like the touche eclat. Under boobi brown Skin for work (palest shade, natch).
