The only product I've found which I LOVE and will always buy again is Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation. I think it's brilliant, good coverage without being caked on, and one bottle lasts me ages.

Anyone know the cheapest place to buy this foundation or maybe know of codes for sites that sell it?

Olay 7 signs of fighting ageing day cream (perfume free one)

Is the only face cream that doesnt irritate my skin.

Often sold in boots for £18 :eek: but I refuse to pay that and get it from superdrug or supermarket for a tenner.

Lasts almost a month so good value.

For me its Elizabeth Arden 8 hour protectant, its the only thing that stops my lips being dry but I use it on loads of other things as well like my eyebrows, eyelids, spots and it lasts me forever like a year from one tube.

I loved an Elizabeth Arden mascara in blue, got it once as a P&P offer and it made by brown eyes look really good but I have not located it cheap again yet, maybe I should splurge as I would use this all the time and am forever dissapointed with cheap alternatives

Any Collection 2000 mascara. I've never been disappointed with one.

Missha BB cream. It's the only foundation I've ever found that comes out of the bottle in my colour and it feels light, blends easily, stays matte all day and covers all sins.

Tea Tree Oil to dab on spots.

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch sunscreen. It's invisible, neither drying nor oily, comes in very high SPFs, doesn't clog my pores, feels light & breathable and best of all, stops my face freckling & burning.

Models Own nail polishes. You get quite a big bottle for £5, big range of colours, and they last very well.

I'm fond of No 7's Intelligent Colour foundation. More so in winter for some reason, I tend to go to their BB cream in the summertime.

Rimmel nail varnish is also my go-to - a recommendation on here I think - it lasts far longer than any other nail varnishes.

And I am a fan of Bourjois eye shadows

I use this, wouldn't be without it, it lasts ages and it brilliant, I also use the doublewear powder and concealer. The cheapest place I have found to buy them is The Cosmetics Company, I think I paid around £19 for the foundation instead of £26 in Debenhams, but it's sometimes hit and miss as to what shades they have in stock, I can't remember how much the concealer and powder were, but it was certainly cheaper than Debenhams.

My other couldnt be without products are Elemis Pro Radiance Cream Cleanser and Elemis Pro Collagen Marine Cream moisturiser, although they seem very expensive they last ages, I stocked up on them as part of a tsv on QVC when they came with the Elemis Winter Skincare
Secrets Collection.

Bobbi Brown eyeshadow in Bone - perfect colour to remove the blue/brown from my eyelids.

Skin 79 BB cream (bought from RubyRuby76 on ebay).- it's been a revelation for my pale skin. Makes me look like I am not wearing make up, clears up my spots and feels like I'm not wearing anything on my face.

Lily Lolo is a good inexpensive mineral brand, particularly their foundations and mineral eyeshadows.

Can you use the Neutrogena sunscreen under or on top of regular moisturisers?

I need a sunscreen but want a product that can be worn all year round in addition to my moisturiser.

I have big problems when it comes to applying foundations/bb creams ect. I can never get them to blend properly & I struggle getting a nice sheer cover.

I have used a blending sponge, hands, stipple brush & still can't get it to look nice.

Any tips?

I too love Elemis Pro Collagen Marine Cream and can see the difference in my fine lines if I don't use it. I also got the TSV and loved the body oil and the exfoliator is a favourite of mine too.

Other products that I cannot live without are Benefit Lemon Aid for my tea bag stained eyelids and Clinique lash power mascara. Love the brush applicator on this mascara as I have very sparse lashes and need a small brush to be able to apply any product to them.

My fave lipglosses are Smashbox.
