Well, know you know how I feel, when you're all going on about catalog numbers and obscure tunes from 1982 n sheet


Can't live without My benefit "Dandylion" its ace!

Any sort of concealer...estee lauder do a good one, but im still totally pining for my magic concealer...can not find one as good.

estee lauder "Double wear!

Also, pixi have a shit load of really good make up pallets.

Any of my mac eyeshadows! the pigment is soooo concentrated, and it doesn't get caught in the crease of your eye!

Dermalogica - Anti bac face wash...although, i don't really like their other products...all the ingredients are natural, and are not watered down!

For foundation I used Bourjois 'en toute legerete' its nice and fine and you only need a little of it I buy most of my cosmetics from either virgin or bourjois and I also buy clinique.
Just bought a new mascara - i bought the Rimmel volume extend ive only used it a couple of times and im not sure i like it as much as the coup de theatre one that bourjois do but ill give it a go cos i aint binning it.

For getting rid of makeup I use the Boots cucumber facial cleansing wipes. Find these just as good as any of the pricey ones on the shelf

Body lotion is loreal nutrilift and i like it loads - it dont make my skin greasy like some lotions. Face creams is nivea - ive started using the Q10 range and so far so good and also clinique (cant go wrong with clinique and an especially good time to buy is BONUS TIME!!! yipeeeeee)

I find the dearer stuff is much better. Not the stupidly dear stuff, like Creme de la Mer...but a nice cream from Estee Lauder or somthing...and my face has never felt cleaner than when Ive used Clinique three step, although my teachers at college were dead against it.

I just find that in cheaper things...the product is "watered" down, some are good...but when I have the money, I'll get myself to the department store and get in the beauty bit...spend spend spend baby!

Yeah that clinique stuff is good!
I have that but only use it on special occasions because im poor and use loads when i cleanse my face. lol
I use loreal pure zone skincare daily......keeps the blemishes away

I think its probably wise to invest in a good and tad more expensive foundation.........but ive had cheap and expensive lippys, eyeshadows etc. and dont care long as the colour is nice

Agreed, it's the one thing if any you should splurge a bit on!

oui! i have a cheap one in my vanity case in case of emergencies!!! but i have tried colour adapt......which is alright, and that estee lauder equaliser one is dead good for covering up spots and stuff. Makes me sad though, whenever I go buying one......they always go 'my god! you are pale arent you?' when they try and give me colour advice, and i come away feeling a bit sad lol

[Lozzie]

So what if you're pale? Why is that actually a bad thing???

[amymars]

Because everyone is dead shocked by it! I havnt actually been able to find a foundation which is the same colour as my skin or even close. I like to wear heavy eye make up.....and so it only accentuates my paleness. People think tanned people look more attractive too.

To quote Dita Von Tesse, poerty was never written anbout tanned girls. I have no choice, i have quite a dark skin tone anyway, odd as i am fair. Perhaps the milk man was Californian lol or summat.

ahhh...Touche Eclat... the amount of times I've so nearly bought one to try on the strength of its alleged reputation . then I remember I dont even use concealer whatsoever, and get all humpy about the shocking price If I've got bags under my eyes I'll just whack my shades on and / or get me head down for a bit
Maybe I'll succumb one day..

Rite, here's my views......

On my skin I use dove soap and vasolene intensive care moisturiser coz I find they work for my skin and I don't need anything else.... don't get spots or owt!!!

As for make up, my essentials would have to be:

My mascara, L'oreal one in a goldy/silvery tube.... mint as fook!

Lip balm...... I've got one thats like a gloss so it gets the from me..... from boots

I have a concealer for under my eyes which is similar to the touche eclair (my mum said she preferred it) its the 17 one from boots, still about £13 mind!!!!

I have the benefit bronzer blusher thingy ma bobby.... dallas its called its like a subtle bronzer but wih pinky tones in!!! just what i wanted!! was £22 but well worth it!

I know someone who usd to work for clinique and she used to get discout of other products, one of which is creme de la mer...... she could get 75% off, thats how much mark up there is on it!!! It makes me a bit cynical to say the least!!!!

Don't really wear foundation although I do have one...... use it very rarely and had the same reaction from the woman as you amy..... "oh my god, how pale are you " YES, I'M WELL AWARE OF THAT..... HAVE BEEN LIKE THIS FOREVER AND IT'S NOT GOIN TO CHANGE NOW IS IT YOU DAFT BITCH!!!!!

There is no problem about bein pale...... lads don't prefer it..... or the ones that matter don't seem to give a shit! It's never held me back, I think it's just girls thinkin lads care about bein pale and stuff..... I think butty prefers it, he likes my freckles anyway!!!
