Sarah I love my estee lauder bronzer.. Its the summer one - that comes in a 2 tone compact.. Its brilliant.

HTH

Thanks I tried the 17 one but I looked more glittery than sunkissed, so maybe more expensive ones are the way to go!

I have found a Favourite waterproof mascara - Lash Power Mascara Long-Wearing Formula from clinique for £12,50 @ boots
(you get - 1000 Extra Points with 3+ selected Premium Beauty at the moment)

its water & smudge proof & you take it off with just warm water
its also Dark Chocolate excellent as i am very fair
i tried to get it to smudge but it stayed on all day :j
the first mascara i have liked - i just need a bit of volume & colour so perfect for me

Estee lauder double wear foundation is the best ever - it really does last all day,Mac bronzer is another couldn't live without product, and YSL mascara is just fab !
I'm a real make up junkie, my idea of bliss is to spend a day " touring" the cosmetic counters,infact I'm that sad,that when I go to the airport, I get as excited going round the duty free make up as I do thinking about my holiday !! ( think I need therapy)

I LOVE Estee Lauder double wear too. It's ace and looks natural and really lasts. It's one of my investments.

Dove tanning moisturiser is my favourite, I find the colour lasts and develops quickly. It can smell a little biscuity after a while but I find it's worth it for the result.

As for budget make up I like the colours and price of H&M make up. Great fashion make up for a low price, ideal since that bright orange might not be so 'you' in 2 months time!

Lee Stafford heat defense straightening spray smells divine and works very well at smoothing a protecting.

There's more I'm sure but Double Wear is my saviour, even when I look double rough!

Thank you to everyone for this thread.... a great read. I'm obviously going to have to go and investigate Double Wear! Are you all being paid by them? Is it OK for sensitive skin? Most things seem to make me go red & my face sting, except No 7 for some reason..

Here are mine - not very exciting I'm afraid... I am 53, still prone to spots but starting to wrinkle up now

No 7 Protect & Perfect Serum - tho' I'm pretty sure the Boots Expert Scar care serum is almost the same (see the Boots grabbit thread)

Olay totaleffects7 anti ageing + blemish care moisturiser FANTASTIC, light & effective

No7 Foundation - sometimes Intelligent Colour - Great - but recently I've been won over to Age Rewind, just a bit more coverage

Touche Eclat - what more can I say?

Currently using Genie Cashmere powder from QVC but will go back to No7 loose translucent

No7 Highlights blusher but love dandelion powder from Benefit

Smashbox cream eyeliner - easy to apply & smudge and every colour a winner

Currently on L'Oreal waterproof Le Grande Curl mascara - doesn't make my eyes water or sting

Need a better lipstick - currently on No7 Plum Beautiful - can anyone recommend something longish lasting and more of a natural raspberry colour? Not a gloopy lipgloss

And then.... and why doesn't anyone else swear by this? - Lipcote. How can you manage without it?


Also a big Liz Earle fan (can you see a QVC link here?) but too lazy & tight to buy often so buy supermarket or Olay facewashes..

Thanks again....

No.7 EXCITE, I think its the sheer cover one or something, but anyway its called excite.
Fab colour.

Hi Mathsus!

I bought Estee Lauder's mascara Double Wear yesterday and it's absolutely brilliant. Most mascara's I have used has smudged but not this one.

Debenhams are having an offer on this at the moment, please see below for the thread I did yesterday.

Hi!

Just to let you know that the Estee Lauder counter in Debenhams are running a promotion until the 3/3. When you buy their latest mascara "Double Wear mascara" in black or brown for £17 you get a free 5ml Lash primer plus (which thickens your eye lashes) and a free eye make over with your purchase. Just got mine this morning and it looks great.

mathsus
