1. My false tan is a must. I naturally have my colouring from my dad's side (Italian and Scottish ancestry) so look much better with a tan, and it's so much easier now we have the Solglo kit
2. Morrisons's concealer. Their version of Touche Eclat, is actually fab - blends really well, v natural but covers anything. Unfortunately no Morrisons now I've moved back south, so I'm trying to get as much out of my last one as possible!
3. Eyelash dye. I hate the threat of panda eyes, so this is so much easier.
4. Shimmery eye pencils. Have loads from the Mary-Kate and Ashley range, fab colours, creamy texture, so much easier than eye shadow!
5. John Freida Radiant Red range. Only just started using it this week (have used all three - Brilliant Brunette, Sheer Blonde and Radiant Red, depending on my colour) and leaves my hair lovely and shiny.
I'm a bit of a cheapskate at heart really, most of my cosmetics are Collection 2000! My only indulgence is Aquolina shower gels and bubble bath from Sainsburies. The chocolate mint shower gel smells yummy and wakes me up, and the chocolate bubble bath smells delish!

Whats PMSL?

...and that my fellow geeks is why Ms. Matrix is sooooo beautiful!! (LOL) [/quote]
what are like your so funny.....lol

1) Clinique anti gravity firming eye lift cream (though looking in the mirror today, I think its stopped working)

2) Lancome Poudre Majeur for my oily t. zone

3) ....Well number 3 Im hoping you Geeks can help me out with!

I share Jo's 'P. holes in the snow' eyes without mascara but, am struggling to find one that doesnt leave me with 'Panda eyes' after a few hours... especially when Ive been looking down doing nails!
Someone told me to buy No7's clear Lash & Brow definer.. have to say for me, its pants!
Any advice appreciated.. send a Pm if you prefer, Ta x.

With regards to mascara - I have tried for many years to find one that does not have me rubbing my eyes every minute. I even decided I could never wear mascara ever again and had my eye lashes tinted and then used clear stuff.

I have finally found Revlon Colourstay - stays on for 3 days without clumps or flakes and no panda eyes and it does exactly what is says on the tin LOL.

what are like your so funny.....lol[/quote]
Well...if I don't toot my own horn who will???? (LOL)

i love your little smilie men

Right here are ,my top beauty tips
Maybelline great lash mascara
Vaseline great for all sorts
Any hemorrhoid cream for that instant face lift lol

Only three?? Mums of 2 boys under 5 need far more than 3!! However -

1) GHD's - to make trendy my very curly hair which when in its natural state was last fashionable circa 1983!!

2) Frizz Ease secret Agent - to tame said hair when not got time for GHD's, ie when Ive got up at 8.10 and have to be out of door by 8.30!

3) Vaseline Intensive care Derma lotion - for my very sensitive skin (god, painting a v attractive picture of myself arent I - mad frizzy hair and red sensitive skin!!)

having said that - I also couldnt manage without Clinque naturally glossy mascara and Lancome juicy tubes - always promised myself that I wouldnt be one of those Mums that turns up at school with no makeup, greasy hair etc, so those two just about prevents that!!


PS - about a million posts ago someone asked about stuff for sensitive skin - I always use Boots' own fragrance free stuff - in blue packaging - its v v cheap but only stuff I can use.

Ohhh this a difficult one, but here goes...

1. Vaseline, can't live without it. It's great for lips, eyelids, skin, hair, I've even used it to shine my shoes when we ran out of shoe shine, (not sure if I should be telling you this) LoL
2. Dermalogica range, especially the conditioning body wash.
3. MAC powder, so silky and light goes on so well.
