Does anyone use tinted moustriser (spelling!!)?

I am currently using an estee lauder one (£23 or £24 I think!!) that my sister got me as a present and trying to work out a way of being able to afford a new one when it runs out.......

Suggestions for cheaper alternatives would be much appreciated.

Right Maz-as I suspected, you do not have oily skin!
you have nice normal skin-CEASE AND DESIST using tea tree products! They will be too harsh and cause your acid mantle (ph balance) to be stripped and cause over oil production

Spots on the chin are mainly hormonal-sorry.

If you switched to a more gentle regime, you will find that the majority of your so called 'skin problems' will stop.


Sar-using eyeliner on the 'inside rim' of the eye will always smudge-it's a 'watery' area. Do as I recommened and use on the LASH line only-your gorgeous brown eyes will look even bigger as well!

I like the mineral makeups too myslef-having tried a few. Some will make your face a bit shiny I find (Lily Lilo) and the brushes make a huge difference as well-I love the color of the L'oreal one but the the brush it comes with is way too hard!

Gosh yeah I tried the L'Oreal one and it was like scrubbing your skin with a dishes brush :eek:

Luc,
You sound like you have the same nice normal skin as Maz-treat it kindly and ALWAYS use moituriser EVERY day. You will be more prone to spots now because of homrones-sorry.

Exfoilating is excellent to do.

Ruby-there are many really good, less expensive tinted moistursers on the market now-I really like Cliniques 'city block' but that's more of a day cream...just go to Boots and ask the ladies there-I know No.7 has one and there are loads of those £5 vouchers you can use at the minute

What about me Dr Bun?

El,
Don't use your Oil of Olay around the eyes (always use a cream specifically designed for the eye area only-day creams are too much for the delicate eye area) and try the powder thing!

And Squirrel-it's horrible isn't it! Apparently, the kind to get is a Kabuki?
Not tried one but I'd like to.

What a girly chat we are having! LOL

Make up - I wear foundation (sometimes) and a dab of bronzing powder and LIPGLOSS! My nickname at home is lipgloss biatch! And thats what the kids call me.

Sometimes wear eyeliner and mascara but then forget its on rub my eyes and end up looking like a panda! But I go nowhere without my lipglosssssss.

When my DD1 was about 14 she went to school with her hair hairsprayed down and pulled back into a severe pony tail with two stray bits hanging down at either side of her head. Loads of orange foundation, loads of eyeliner, blue eyeshadow and no lipstick. She wore a tracky and scared even me. What was worse all her friends looked exactly the same and I had a hard job picking out my daughter in a crowd...:rotfl: One of her friends still has the same look:eek:

As to age discrimination, I am 43 (but have been told I don't look it) although OH who is 5 years older does. When I had DD3 at 40 people who had known me for years asked if she was an accident. (no she wasn't). Then the next door neighbour said - exactly how old are you then? Then when I had DD3 people would assume my sixteen year old daughter had got herself up the duff and look at us in disgust! I still feel a bit strange walking around with my 20 year old son who is much taller than me....like I am not really old enough to have this big boy next to me...:rotfl:

The Maybelline one has a kabuki brush with it, quite a small one but it seems to do the job ok.. lovely and soft!
