Beauty Confessions

RoseFairy

I confess to using and loving Clinique. no matter whatbad press/or ingredients it may have, it really works on my skin and has taken care of 20 years of acne - and since having experimented for 15years with whatever else there is on the market this range has suited me. .....

Can I join you? It seems to help my skin too - it is the first make of face cream that actually doesn't become 'film' like after one week of using. It does help with my acne too! Have tried numerous products, and it was the first one to help me combat the greasy/oily skin I have!

Oh, and I also love YSL - their mascara is fantastic. Although, I only use it like 2 times a month!

I like wearing slightly too much blusher- I know it's naff, but who cares!!!!

Also I carry round £50-ish worth of lipgloss in my handbag I realised the other day. Two Clarins and one Clinique- ooops- not very MSE!

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: i am a beauty therapist and u lot are very naughty lol but i confess......... to not moisturising regularly probably about 10 times a month , i use alot of protecting and correcting products but moisturising is at the bottom of my list , and only mineral make up its a must .

I have several confessions, and not really the helpfull tips ones others have posted
After being impressed with the "oil cleansing method" thread I went round every chemist in town asking for castor oil none of them had it, the last 1 kindly ordered me a bottle, he asked me what I needed it for I told him I was going to try it as a skin cleanser, he looked really surprised and said he'd never heard of it being used as anything but a laxative--- so all the chemists in town think I've got poo stuck up me bum:o
I had the bright idea to use a £land sting extractor (it's like a big syringe) to remove stubborn blackheads, it did work i was amazed at the gunk it sucked out my pores, then I got a bit carried away and ended up with a perfectly circular bruise the size of a 10p piece right in the middle of my chin for several days:eek:

Sometimes if my lips are really dry I put a tiny bit of moisturiser on them it sorts them out so much quicker than lip balm.
Oh last one- I HATE vaseline it stinks and feels horrid, I'm sure it would be better used on car engines or something- the thought of putting ot on my eyes makes me cringe.

Oh, for dry lips - try spreading a bit of honey on them, especially for the night, it does miracles. Or butter as well, but not as tasty/sweet!

They have YSL Touche Eclat at my local Superdrug for £17.50 (approx, i was glancing at the time) which I think is really good for this product, I know its an expensive product but it is really really good, I use my Mums a lot and should really buy one of my own, does anyone know what 'number' to use?? As ive never bought one before and dont know which one, I have palish olivey skin that can look a bit green but tans well (a great description ha ha:rolleyes: )
i dont know what colour my mums is, its an old one and the number has rubbed off :mad: they dont seem to have testers in the shop.....
thanks x

I use baby wipes as well, when I am to lazy to go and properly wash my face. Also, as I get very greasy skin during the day, I keep a pack in my car, so I always have them handy!
