    Yeah I have tried it! The best thing about EL is that I dont' need it when I wear their Double Wear.

    I bought my brush years ago and I think Clinque was cheaper, Clinque is defo cheaper in US - considerably so

    So would you recommend it or not? And could you use the Clinique one just as well? :)

    Confused myself, sorry!

    Re Green Stuff - dont need it when I wear DW

    Re Brush - Clinque was the cheapest at the time (cheapest of 'better' ones) and yes I would definately recommend it!

    :rotfl: @ you two!

    With foundation, lots of people don't wear it as they don't need to. I have a very juvenile tendancy to get spots on my chin, and I work in a very hot place, so I tend to wear it to cover up said teenage spots and to keep my make-up from sliding off my face (not that I wear a lot - just enough to give me a bit more colour to my pale, pale face!).

    However, having a bad foundation which doesn't 'sit' on your face properly or just runs off is one of THE worst things ever as it just vanishes and takes all your other make up with it, so it's worth having a good one as everything else just looks better when it's on top of it. I remember buying foundation for £10/£15 which just seemed to evaporate, hence buying a more expensive number, but the Holy Grail for me is finding one just as good, but cheaper. I will have to keep searching, but I'm glad to have a bottle of Double Wear to keep me going until I find it! ;) It could be, of course, that this is one are where you really do get what you pay for, but I'll do my best to get a cheaper alternative!

    OK, so yesterday was my day off (a well-needed one at that!), so I pottered around doing bits and pieces including tiding my room (I have soooo much stuff to Ebay and missed the free listings weekend :o :eek:), and lots of anoying paperwork type stuff!

    In work at 2, have some calls to make first.

    Gosh, that makes me sound exciting. As if! :cool: ;)

    I know you're annoyed with the dog, but isn't hiring a hitman a bit extreme? :eek:

    I don't howI missed your posts earlier but when I read 'in work at 2' I truly thought you were going to work at 2am!!!!!

    I was thinking 'where does this woman work' :)

    No make up ever stayed on my face until DW. I even have a jobbie keeping mascara on, even the waterproof stuff!
