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.Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task. William James0

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 on0 -

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.:j Trytryagain FLYLADY - SAYE £700 each month Premium Bonds £713 Mortgage Was £100,000@20/6/08 now zilch 21/4/15:beer: WTL - 52 (I'll do it 4 MUM)0 -
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.

I tried it before make up today and it was great!0 -

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.0 -
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 do0 -
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!!:smileyhea "here, hare, here" :smileyhea0

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!Don't suffer alone - if you are experiencing Domestic Abuse contact the National Domestic Abuse Helplines
