Thats what I liked about it, covers everything so you don't have to hunt for your lipstick at the bottom of your bag

I love Benefit products. I have a fab blusher, highlighter and correcting cream stuff

I don't wear foundation or concelar so I'm no help

 

[jazzmum2be]

I love benefit makeup
The foundation, councealer and blushers the best.
The foundation lasts for ages (the bottle lasts me about 6 months and i wear it everyday) as a little dab of it goes really far, and doesnt make you look orange like some foundations

 

[mummykay]

far too much stuff!! i posted it all on jades thread the other mth, love my slap lol

benefit and mac ftw!!! luuuuuuuurve when the new catalogue comes out lol, i circle what i want then head to house of fraser lol

 

[Suzie and Faith]

Body shop! Some lush stuff!

I use their 'lightening touch' which is a sort of concealery hightlightery thing
Maybelline mousse foundation
Body shop cube eye colours
Body shop brushes
Body shop lipgloss

erm, think i have max factor mascara?

 

[sarafet]

ok..

benefit foundation, i don't use it on my full face though, only for under my eyes, my chin and any other bad areas..

i'm using a maybeline mascara just now, the newest one, in the yellow bottle, it's really good, i love mascaras

i use carmex lip balm, that's my favourite thing in the whole world, i go through a tub every 3 weeks, i'm obsessed with it.

i use mac eyeshsdows for when i go out, if you want a bright colour get mac, and put a little bit of cream on your eyelid before applying the eyeshadow.

i also use a cheap blusher for when i go out, couldn't even tell you what make it is, but it does the job, and a rimmel black sparkly eyeliner, or my rimmel green eyeliner.

also some clinique lip gloss.

if it's your skin you're worried about, having a good skin care routine is half the battle sorry about the essay lou

You are kidding! I've had two pots in about 3 years and the second one hardly has a dent in it

I love YSL Touche Eclat for illuminating purposes but it doesn't conceal that well.
The Concealer I do like is Benefit Erase Paste or 'It' stick neither of them leave my under eye dry or creapy as my skin in that area has dried out a lot since I've been pregnant.
Foundation, I love l'Oreal Mineral Foundation and Cliniques Supermoist is good if your having a 'Dry Skin' day.

Can't beat Chanel blushers or H&M's Bronzer at about £4.99 its fantastic value and the colour is great all year round for light to fair skin colourings.

A little bit of Highlighter is good on a 'Dull skin' day under your bronzer or blusher, Clinique do some lovely ones but beware of the over done 'Tinman' look a little goes a long way!

Hope this helps

Thanks for your replies girls...

I now need to buy a new bigger make up bag for when I go make up shopping next!

 

[ladyminklett]

I love Laval Leg shimmer!! I can only get in when I go to Blackpool with my Mom I can't get it from anywhere else. The colour is 'Original' and gives just enough colour to the legs without being to shimmery. No one likes the Pork Sausage leg look remember the Wolford tights in the late '90's all the Girls in Rackhams Cosmetic Dept wore them except for me..I wasn't paying £20 for my calves to look twice the size with all that denier and shine YUK!!
Seriously Laval Leg shimmer I've had so many comments and orders for when I go to Blackpool I wouldn't be without out it when it gets to 'Bare my legs after the Winter time'

OMG you should see the size of my bag!! I only wear certain pieces though? No idea why I could stock a shop with it all!? hahaha

 

[muppetmummy]

My make up bag used to be huge, and I used to take it EVERYWHERE! with me. Since being a mummy I've downsized and never take a hairbrush or lippy out with me unless its a night out

I've got...

Virgin Vie face base
A rimmel pressed powder
Number 7 concealer
3 various virgin vie eyeshadow/lipgloss/blusher palettes (I love eyeshadow!)
virgin vie bluey/grey eye definer
rimmel black kohl pencil
maybelline mascara-black
boots mascara-black
rimmel liquid eye liner-black
virgin vie double ended mascara (with blue mascara one end and blue glitter eye liner the other)
lipbalm
virgin vie angel balm
virgin vie brightening boost
virgin vie eyeshadow in a tube that I forget the name of!
tweezers

most of this I only use on nights out...day to day I wear eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara (unless i'm not going anywhere but the school in which case I don't bother!)

There's loads of virgin vie cos the girls in my old office were always having virgin vie parties as one of them was a consultant

my mum was worried about me and called it a obsession i panic when i can't find it, (i lose it about 3 times a day..) i put it on roughly every half hour or so. even my papa (86) comments on why i always put that thing in the yellow tub on my lips so often.

I haven't read all the posts but I don't know if anyone has suggested mineral foundation. I don't wear base very often but this stuff is magic, after wearing it of a night (with lots of booze usually) I wake up with gorgeous skin. The minerals are natural and also contain spf. Most make up brands now stock mineral foundation.

I also swear by ysl touche eclat for under eyes, bourjouis mascara (although I don't need much froma mascara)

For a lovely blusher try benefit pots, and their high beam high lighter is great. Also their benetint is so good for lip and cheek stain.

Stila do them but are very expensive and Ruby and Millie do a cheaper version that are just as good imo.
