  • Thanks everyone for ideas - where do you get Lily Lo from please? Do most moneysavers buy their makeup from the high street or other places?

    I always buy perfume online since reading recommended sites on MSE - great savings.

    Estee Lauder lucidity translucent, I have tried loads over the years, and this is the first one I have actually finished and purchased refills for rather than throwing them out after a few uses!

    Boots No7 do quite a good powder. I also use their Oil Free make-up base (but just on my nose and forehead).

    balance and brighten by laura geller

    Is that really good?

    I was thinking of trying it.

    Is it an actual face powder to go over foundation, or does it "colour" more like a highlighter, brightner?

    A good tip is to just buy loose powder, but to carry it round, simply peel apart a cotton wool 'pad' and put some loose powder inside, then sort of 'reseal' it... Keeps it safe, and unspillable, and is great for touch ups!
    ...

    I just use Loose powder too. I don't have any pressed powder.

    Elemental Beauty do a nice (cheap) finishing powder;)

    I use Laura Mercier (I tried a sample of EB) & I will get some for work as soon as my No.7 work-stuff runs out.
