Haven't "opened" the YSL one. The Perscriptives one is nice, stays on well, comes off easily (with the OCM) BUT doesn't make them long & thick like falsies, but is pretty good concidering they are not falsies:rolleyes:

I want Benefits Bad Gal in waterproof
And they don't make it:mad: :mad:

Max Factor, I HATED the brush. I like a traditional brush, I hate those plasticky ones.

Brilliant:D

Just to report DD loves her YSL faux cils, I don't think much of my YSL waterproof version:(

Don't like the max factor one either, one of them funny brushes, sort of.

The PERSCRIPTIVES here to stay is PDG, not false lash looking, but lasts well & removes easily.

I have tonight, on your recommendations, ordered Benefits Bad Gal mascara for my weedy lashes.

If it doesn't work I shall blame you all

I currently use;

Foundation - YSL, the new one with the brush that's meant to be like touche eclat. I like it but I am a foundation tart and flit between brands every time I buy a new one.

Under eyes - Touche Eclat. Have worn this every day of my life for the last 10 years (since I was 13!) even when I was in Africa and hadn't washed my hair for 2 weeks.

Eyeshadow - clinique

Eyeliner - benefit "baked" or something like that, which you put a bit of water on then apply with a brush. It comes in a compact with a mirror and a black and a brown colour. I am a convert.

Powder - Dior

Blusher - either dior blush or mac in flower power.

Mascara - Dior Blackout. I absolutely love it and after 10 years of going from brand to brand with mascaras of all kinds, I have found one I am going to stick to.

Lip gloss - either juicy tubes for day time or a new YSL one in a pen like touche eclat for night time.

Don't wear bronzer, concealer, primer, or lipstick

well, dare i start..... hope the old man dont read this.... lol

i use bobbi brown water based foundation, is great

loreal beauty tubes mascara, stays put, looks great and comes off easily with warm water.

i use maybeline eyeshadow in seashell

and a rimmel lippy...

tried benefit dandelion blusher, was ok ish.... love lilly lilo wakiki

tried dior mascara - was pants, brush to bulky and mascara smudged.

i also use benefit bo ing, and lemon aid, is great for a quick cover up to nip to local shop on a sunday.

i love dior eye make up remover, really shifts stuff, but beauty tubes really is best removed with warm water.

as for perfume, well my favourite is Alien by tierry mugler, followed by pure poison, dior, and the light blue by d&G

Noooo! It's great! The bulky brush is the best bit, makes my eyelashes really thick, and it gets loads on at once so I don't have to put 20 coats on like I do with other mascaras!

Purchaseruk

Having read through some long posts on the forum about makeup etc & wanting to try to save a bit of money, I've started purchasing some of the cheap brands to give them a trial.....see how I get on.
One thing in particular has caught my eye though - a tip regarding smashbox primer. Apparently Lanacane anti chafing gel has almost the same ingredients list but is dead cheap and works the same as the smashbox primer...Anyone else actually tried this out yet and had good results with it? I've been on the lookout for some, but gather I might have to ask for it at a chemist.
