ohh its hard limiting it to 3 but here goes;

Ruby & millie liquid eyeliner- i love this and never go anyway without my eye make up.

Elisabeth Arden eight hour cream- i swear by this it helps get rid of almost anything chapped lips, dry skin, minor sores etc.

Clarins milk fake tan- I love this ive tryed every tan there is and i always come back to this.

Sorry i tryed but i cant keep it to 3 so.......................

Colgate 2in1 toothpaste&mouthwash (fresh mint) strange i know but this is the only toothpaste i like

Greatlash mascara by mabeline- cos i have none esistant eyelashes

Straighteners.........., and the list could go on & on & on & on....

my husband calls me high maintaince lol

My best beauty products are:

1) Liz Arden 8hr cream - honestly its great for Everything!!
2) Vaseline - put it on your eyelashes and theres no need for mazzy!
3) Glittery eyeshadow! (MAC or Urban Decay)

I have loads more but I could not survive without these and anyway the 8hr cream and vaseline can be made into sooo many things I would feel pretty good heading into the jungle with them!!

mine are
1/ eyeliner and black smudge proof mascara i have big eyes and long eye lashes that are quite fair if i aint got my eyes done i look awful.
2/ max factor lipfinity with lip gloss on top lasts allllllll day.
3/ blusher i am very pale so look like a ghost without it.
they are my top 3 i would sacrifice evrything else but them.
i have a really good skin care routine but without my top 3 i would look as ruff as abadgers bum, just ask my boys what i look like without my slap on

3 things I will NOT leave the house with ...

Max Factor waterproof mascara
Lipfinity lipstick (cos it really DOES last AGES !!)
L'Oreal bronzer for my face cos I hate looking pale!

I've learnt the hard way...why is it, even when you try and sneak to the 24hr Tesco at some ungodly hour, if you haven't got your face on, you're GUARANTEED to see someone you know

FIRST! my epilator to remove ALL body hair...!
THEN! st tropez shimmer body mist, all over!
FOLLOWED BY! palmers cocoa butter, everywhere!
NEXT! you rebel tinted moisturiser (benefit), makes you all glowy and dewy
AND FINALLY! eyebrow makeup (benefit) AND maybelline mascara, to define my peepers!

But my best tip... I make my own body scrub from time to time with olive oil and salt - brillo!!!! and dead cheap!!! Leaves your skin really soft after a shower... mm-mmmm!

I love this thread, a couple of years ago I did Cycle Cuba for NDSC so cycling in heat made you really decide what make up was important,

1. A good moisturiser with SF15
2. Mascara
3. Toothpaste

(I did have a small suitcase full of make up and stuff, when I got stopped at Customs in Havana, they had great fun looking through my case - when you realise that they average GP gets $50 per month, it did make my makeup case look over the top)

Thumbs up You're soooo beautiful!!! - 28-01-05, 10:22 AM


I know I might go over 3...I will try to play nicely with the group.

1) I have just got to have Secret deordorant-The regular kinds NOT the platinum line...it's the only deodorant I buy.

2) I love taking candlelit homemade milk bubble baths...with dry milk

3) I am an Avon-holic, lipstick, eyeshadow, makeup, mascara, fade cream, Clearly C by Anew, and I got to have either Treselle perfume or the cucumber melon body spray...or any other smell good I can get my hands on in the catalogue.

4) I refuse to buy any other toothpaste but Colgate Total or Colgate Max Fresh w/ Mini Breath Strips...you talking bout fresh??? Ohh wee!!

5) Plenty...and I do mean PLENTY of water...best thing in the world for ya!

...and that my fellow geeks is why Ms. Matrix is sooooo beautiful!! (LOL)

1. I HAVE to have my ghds.... enough said.
2. Lip gloss or balm... not only for my lips, but try it when your out and your hair gets frizzy (just a TINY bit rubbed over your fingers and then smoothed over your hair) - brilliant. Needless to say I found this out by accident!!
3. Mascara to make me look awake and h&m eyebrow fix.
4. palmers cocoa butter.
