can anyone recommend a good cheap matte (lighter shade) bronzer? thanks x
btw what a great thread this is!

Try the MUA bronzers at superdrug. There are 4? shades to choose from and definately know they are all matt shades. At £1 what have you got to loose.

I've been getting on really well with ELF make up brushes (sorry, not sure if anyone's mentioned them yet) and I've actually started using them over my more expensive ones. The bristles feel high quality and they don't shed at all, so I'd definitely recommend them. The actualy ELF brushes that are £1.50, not the studio ones that are slightly more expensive. They're OK, but I'd say the ELF ones are better!

Either cheap or expensive what matters is the product should be clinically proven and tested like this anti wrinkle products.

I agree - they are brilliant, especially the eye shadow and concealer brushes :T.

I'm sure I posted on another thread, but for what its worth Boots Curl Cream £1.29 for 250 ml.

A bargain buy, Creates nice curls, waves, rather than a dragged though the hedge cave-woman look. I just put some in after washing and leave to dry naturally.

I will seriously freak out if they stop making it. :)

Read the reviews, if you're at all hesitant. The best product I've used.
