Tried any new make-up or skincare recently?

Kim_kim

I've been trying lots :-)
Yesterday my Tarte Amazonian clay blush in blissful arrived. I love it :-) great colour.
I tried Nars orgasm - it's ok, not amazing & Laura Geller Rose baked one, in a rose shape, it's ok too.
Likewise with Laura Geller, tried the Rose spackle, didn't rate. The eyeliner gel pencil, didn't like.
Got a nice Laura Geller eyeshadow, half brown, half cream.
Laura Geller liquid lipstick & baked balance & brighten powder, both ok, but not amazing.


Been trying lots of new skincare & toiletries.
Loving Elemis & SBC, Gatineau is ok, tried the Gommage & the mask, didn't think they were anything amazing.
ETA - the first time I used the Gommage I left it on to set & removed as a face pack (it's an alternative way of using), I've just used again, as an exfoliator - I like it :-)
I've got a thin layer of the mask that goes with it on as a night cream (again an alternative way of using), I'll update :-)
I bought decleor Prolagene gel - but I haven't tried it yet.

I think someone needs to step away from QVC

I really rate Laura Geller's blushers, never had a bad one, although I also didnt get the fuss about Spackle.

Margaret Dabbs Foot Hygiene Cream is amazing, in a few days I felt like I had new feet, perfect before getting the sandals out.

Some of it from QVC, but some I watched what it does on QVC & purchased elsewhere at better prices. Like the decleor & some of the gatineaux.

I do love the QVC demos, I like to see it being used & how you use it.

The Tarte Amazonian clay blush & the Nars orgasm, nothing to do with QVC at all. I've been trying lots of new make up lately, only those few Laura Geller bits QVC, you need to try make up out in store really don't you.

For foot cream, can anything beat flexitol?

My next purchase (I'll wait till payday) is philosophy the present primer. Anyone tried that?

I've used Laura Geller blushes & bronzers for years, I was actually surprised I wasn't more impressed with the spackle & the gel eye pencil.

My daughter is an eye shadow junkie, I think I'll have to buy her urban decay naked, it's the ultimate one isn't it.

I found it to be much better than Flexitol, it is literally a trip to the chiropodist in a pot. All hard skin gone, my toe nails are all pink and healthy instead of narly and yellow (how attractive!) Also as a side point I my hands are also looking much better :j

Thanks.........
Very MSE, you know I'm going to have to try that foot cream now :-(

For hand cream I love body shop hemp.

makeup I have bought and loved recently are: Blushes: Hourglass ambient lighting blushes in Luminous Flush and Diffused Heat, Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Diffused Light, great for setting under eye concealer and brightening it, Max Factor Crème Puff Blush in Seductive Pink, it's a bit like the Hourglass ones, Benefit Dandilion and a dupe for it is W7 Candy Floss, .eyes: I finally found a mascara that doesn't run with my watery eyes it's a tube mascara that forms tubes around the lashes , Blinc Amplified,, Makeup Revolution Amazing Inner Eye Brightener, stays put with watery eyes, also good as a cupids bow highlight, Eye Shadow: Milani Shadow Eyes Eyeshadow Pencil in Almond is a great neutral base for shadow, new foundations to cover rosacea are: Mac Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof Foundation and Loreal Infallable matte foundation, Highlighers: Rimmel Good To Glow Illuminator in Soho Glow' it's cheap as chips and this colour isn't at all glittery just a bronze sheen, plus Topshop Glow Pot in Polish is so pretty too. primer/highlighter hibrid, Loreal Lumi Magique Pure Light Primer.. similar to becca shimmering Skin Perfector in Pearl.. no glitter, primer is Kiehl's Micro Blur Skin Perfector, Lippies in nude pink shades: Jordana Modern Matte in Matte Blush, Urban Decay lipstick in Naked, Smashbox Lipstick in Posie Pink, Soap and Glorylipstick in The Missing Pink, Bourjouis Rouge Edition Velvet Liquid Lipstick in Don't Pink of It, eyebrows: Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade and Brow Wizz pencil in ash brown and Elf eyebrow Kit in Ash from ebay. Perfumes : Kiehl's Vanilla and Cedarwood aromatic mist is natural and so lovely and not too sweet, Miller Harris Rose En Noir uses a lot of naturals and is stunning, Lancôme La Vie Et Belle, fruity and caramel, Tom Ford Velvet orchid, .. What can I say.. I'm a makeup junkie!

I've never been interested in such things. My makeup probably cost me a total of £5 about 15 years ago and I've not even spread some £1 foundation on my face for at least 2 years.

I keep it all in a "spectacles purse" and I've got: random/cheap foundation, an eye-liner pencil off the market, one pot of stuff you put on your eyelids, a cheap mascara (probably dry by now) and a lipstick I liked in 1990 that I won't throw out as I cling to the idea that one day I'll find that colour again.

My most recent buy in my quest for the prefect lipstick is MAC Viva Glam V, its too beautiful and suits me perfectly as a mlbb colour when applied lightly on its own or it works perfectly with any colour gloss, quest over

Laura Geller is now available from BeautyBay and Feel Unique. Never bought the brand as it just did not grab me.

Oh and QVC followers. Mally Beauty is bankrupt looking for a buyer, QVC US is one of the creditors looking paid.

I have enough skin care stored away to keep a small South American country going:D

Last new make up I bought, Chantecaille eye shadow duo in crocus and lantern and the Faux Cil mascara.

I love Laura Geller blushes. Such beautiful colours! Pink apricot is (or was my favourite).

Ive been experimenting with neutral brown colours lately. Theres got to be a shade out there that doesn't look like mud on me. I need a brightening brown if ever there was such a thing.

I have the Naked3 palette by Urban Decay and have only just started to experiment with it. I'm not really loving it atm.
