    This is a money saving site could I just remind people. Why am I on Boots and QVC shopping for make-up I don't need?
    Really, you lot are useless ;)

    Anything that keeps me outside Space NK is moneysaving. :D

    I love that place. I used to have to drive miles to Marlow for my nearest one but now they've opened one in the next town. Very naughty. You know as soon as you walk in you're not leaving without a purchase.
    I think it p!sses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it. People think pleasing God is all God cares about. But any fool living in the world can see it always trying to please us back.

    I have sensitive skin so I like to stay away from the liquid,pressed or powder foundations as they seem to clog the pores.

    I have found using maybeline foundation mousse really works well on my skin and it leaves my skin feeling smooth and silky, its very light on your face and you can hardly tell you have it on.

    I use Simple to cleanse and moisturise my skin at least twice daily and maybe more if ive been using foundation but while the sun is here I will allow for some sun to give me a little colour and put the foundation away for a rainy day! :)

    I'm the same as you Jessilu, I always wore panstik and loved it, but I can't now. It looks odd. I would so love to try this touche eclat stuff, it gets great reviews, but at £24 its out of the question. :(
    I have whined at the husband to take me up to Boots later today, I will leave him in the car so I can get time to wander around and look. :) (I will be a responsible owner & leave a window open for him) :)

    I get mine in duty free and it does last a long time. But Boots No7 do an alternative. I haven't tried it yet though.

    I find Touche eclat is horrid, it just sits on your face and doesn't really blend in...I have been using this L'Oreal Touche Magique and find it much better, and it only cost £6.00 so you might want to try that instead of forking out over £20 for touche eclat. :D

    Don't you drive?

    If I had to rely on my DH to take me shopping I would never go! Anywhere!
    I even buy his shoes for him, I guess if I didn't buy anything the stuff he is wearing would eventually wear away & he would have to go:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Its ridiculous really, even major house purchases are made usually just by me:(


    I don't "rate" touche much, but then I don't need the under eye brightener, maybe if I did, I would.

    I've used http://www.elementalbeauty.co.uk/ mineral powder under eye brightners & healing concealers & I REALLY like them. Best concealer I've ever found too:D
