I have been impressed by Max Factor Facefinity Compact. I am also prone to acne and also a very shiny nose and this is really matte when you put it on so I don't even need powder over the top.

I bought mine in the summer when I went away and forgot my foundation :eek:!! It was about £11 which was about the cheapest foundation I could find in the make up displays at Boots, I was shocked how expensive make up has gotten while I have been doing this challenge! I will definitely buy again when I have finished mine (perhaps even before I have got through the rest of the foundation stash!)

Hope this helps

Excellent, thank you! I will go and check it out. £11 sounds good to me!

splashed out on a new phone(£9) to take to Spain,so tiny next to mine:rotfl:expensive to use tho at 28p a min(I know Martin would say buy a sim in Spain but need it as soon as I get there and it would have cost me £15 if bought it so could do that(don't ask me to explain very nic eyoung man at Tesco sorted it for me adding credit ,putting sim in etc:):):):)(do i tell OH or let him think I did it myself:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:)bought new hair colour,ash brown so hope it works!

Totally understand this one! Canada has some of the most expensive cell phone rates in the world. I bought an AT&T pay as you go phone in the States to use when I''m down there. It's actually cheaper at certain times of the day to use it up here! Now my coworkers take it with them whenever they go to the States and just top it up. It's been all over the US and Mexico.

Own goal of kinds today. Resisted a special edition beauty box at the Lancome today at the Bay. Full size mascara, 2 nailpolishes, an eye pallette, couple of lipsticks and creams (gwp size) for $75 in a sparkly train case. Wound up buying a body butter for $5 in the Body Shop.

I was good right???

I really like the Benefit mascara and the eyeshadow is nice too ......if you need any????!!!!! I don't need any of the items and so decided against buying but think it is good value if you will use the stuff and not just put into the stash:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Yes have heard good things about the mascara and the eyeshadow looks good. I like that they say it has multiple uses. I don't technically need any but would really like it and would use it :think: it is pay day tomorrow after all.... very very tempted!

Managed to avoid the temptation of the LiB and UU a Herbal Essences shampoo. So all in all a good day.

Hermia

UU

5) Toni & Guy shampoo (the deep cleansing one). WBA if it was on offer.

BTW, can anyone recommend any other good deep cleansing shampoos?

Have a TA - Neutrogena multi-repair cream, this has gone all watery which was to be expected I suppose since I first opened it years ago, it also had a BBE date of 2011

Did it actually have a date on the packaging? I've never seen that on any of my hundreds of products.

Looks like I'll manage a couple more UU before the end of the month not much shower gel left in the bottle and my Lush Angels on Bare skin only has about 4 uses left (really sad about this as love it and won't be able to buy more for a while, need to use stash up first).

On a positive note only ins this month were Amarya box and some freebies. I haven't bought myself anything toiletries wise this month. I definitely feel I'm getting better at this.

A flurry of UU today:
102. Lush bath bomb (phoenix rising I think) didnt like this one sadly, was slow to dissolve and had large floaty bits like cinnamon sticks inside. WNBA.
103/104 Finished a giant 750ml of TBS satsuma shower gel so refilled with 2 smaller bottles. WBA i love orange scents but already have plenty in the stash.
105/106 Max Factor facefinity compact. I use this as a pressed powder over foundation rather than just on its own and find it a perfect match for my very pale skin. I rarely ever finish make up so Im counting it as 2 out as im adding £2 to the pot.


Im resisting ordering the new LIB although I would like to try the Inika foundation but its not my shade in the box.

Does any of you wonderful ladies have any experience using Clarins everlasting or extra firming foundation - im looking for a foundation with good coverage to try to mask my awful skin. Ive tried double wear by Estee lauder but although it had great coverage I felt like I was wearing a mask and it seemed to irritate my skin.
