    oh i love creme puff. what is avon lip ink? i like the sound of it...

    Lip ink is a stain put on with a brush, longlasting but dry so I add a bit of sheen with gloss or lipstick. I think avon don't do it now so i get off ebay, there are similar inks and stains around.Go cosmetics are cheapo but real good quality.

    Hi Money_Maker_Shaker1

    I went to the Estee Lauder counter in Boots and asked for a free sample of the Double wear mascara and I managed to get one in black. Then I went to the counter in Debenhams but didn't get one!

    The mascara is absolutely brilliant.

    Good luck in finding a free sample.

    Becky
    Can I ask how people managed to get the free sample of double wear as I'd like to try it but aren't willing to buy a full size until I've tried it.

    Thanks

    mathsus - its great over dr feelgood - it can be a little hard to move around on your face without a primer (if you get what i mean) - dries a ltitle fast maybe without primer or some kind of base!

    The new LIGHT double wear by Estee Lauder, is available online now. Not in stores till the very end of March.
    By then the Debenhams GWP will have finished:mad:

    So do I go tonight late night shopping & get the normal double wear & something else to get the GWP & use my Debenhams £5/£10 off a £25 spend (I have asked on the voucher board whether they are honouring their mistake on this at £10 or only giving £5 off a £25 spend)?

    If I do go, what shall I get as my second choice?

    Or do I wait, miss out on the GWP (but still use the voucher) & get the new one when it comes out?

    HELP:o

    Can I ask you for some advice since we're on the subject of make-up and you all seem to know so much?
    Basically I used to wear pencil eyeliner and my eye shadow used to last most of the day. But since using liquid eyeliner I've noticed that the eye shadow fades away quicker and by the afternoon I can only see my eyeliner and no eye shadow! Does anyone have any tips on how I can prevent this from happening?
    Thanks.
