    I use Superdrug's own skin/essentials fragrance free eye makeup remover (in a blue bottle). When I first started using it it was 99p think it's £1.29 now. Over the years I have tried others but always come back to this one as it is my favourite.

    Excellent skin primer. Makes a huge difference to the finish and application of foundation. Feels nice to wear too.

    do you put this on before you apply your make up? when I pat it on after it makes my make up look caked on:confused:

    Yes before. I know on the tin it says after which is really weird, but I checked with the girls at the counter and they confirmed that it is before makeup. I find it makes my skin feel softer and the makeup look better and quicker to apply. Definitely an item I will replace when it is all gone.

    I don't know why the instructions on the tin are wrong though.:confused:

    Maybelline dream matte mousse - I have awful skin, but this covers the redness without looking caked on. I'm on about my third pot.

    Lips- anything in my kind of colour that's nor Rimmell- I refuse to give them money since they took Ms Moss back on their books.

    Skincare- antibacterial facewash and oxy10:p

    ps I'm nearing 38!:p

    Miss Sporty 'Mini-Me' retractable lip liner is excellent, and only £2.49! Really creamy formula, available in a range of shades and helps lipstick to stay put for longer. As good as much more expensive products I have tried.
    Available in Superdrug and Boots.

    Will post a few of my bits and pieces:

    Benefit Perfect Ten -
    gives a lovely shimmer on cheekbones and browbones. Can be used as eyeshadow too.

    Benefit Hoola -
    Perfect tan colour, one tiny box lasts me for 2 years of everyday use!

    Boots Time Delay Repair Radiance Balm -
    Lovely and moisturising, again gives a lovely radiance under other make up or on its own.

    No7 Stay Perfect Liquid Eyeliner -
    These are fantastic, I've got the limited edition metallic colours but I take it the other formulas will be the same. Stays put, does NOT smudge at all, only comes off with proper make up remover.

    Loreal Volume Shocking Exact Brush Mascara -
    Double ended mascara with base coat and top coat. Makes lashes lovely and long and thick.

    Too Faced Lip Injection Lipglosses -
    Love these, tingle loads at first but really give you a 'pouty' look!

    Smashbox Photo Finish UVA/UVB Foundation Primer -
    This serum is fab - makes your skin feel flawless and foundation go on so smoothly. It is like a 'dry' serum (if anyone knows what I mean by that!) and feels amazing.

    MAC Studio Fix Foundation -
    Bottle of this has lasted me ages and ages and is just the right consistency/coverage for me. Lasts really well (on the face) without looking too false.

    Concealer -
    The concealer I use is actually a wee cheapy from Tesco - think it was 5 products for £5 at one point - mines is shade 2. It's a lovely texture and gives really good coverage.

    I was just about to write that I don't really wear a lot of make up either... guess I do ;)

    For Christmas I treated myself to the small Tweezerman mirror to go with my essential (pink) Tweezerman tweezers. Now I save money by being able to see my own eyebrows and pluck them myself!!

  • I couldn't get by without Clinique stay true foundation. I've got really bad skin which gets quite oily as the day goes on- some foundations go a bit orangey/darker which is horrible, but to be fair to Clinique theirs doesn't. Also the coverage is pretty good which is a major factor for me!
