Urban Decay do some lovely stuff, but most of my makeup is from No7.

So yes, No7.

It used to be really crap but in the last 6 months or so I've found myself buying more and more.

Former Member

17, Rimmel, Miss Sporty - go on the cheapness!

i have a few No7 products and I find them good.

Former Member

I loooove MAC products but theyre so expensive And the Ruby and Millie foundation is beautiful, the one where you paint it on

Former Member

No7 is OK. I buy a lot of collection 2000 cos its such value for money.
Ive recently bought a couple of Benefit things, and although I really like them, I dont think they were worth the £20 each I paid for them - not even nearly.

Benefit are expensive but I love their stuff. Love love love. Especially the Dandelion Powder and the Benetint lip and cheek stain.

I've got the Dr Feelgood and I'm not 100% sure what to do with it, so I use it like a powder and it mops up the shine when I'm out!

Former Member

mainly No7 cos got really sensitive skin have a few rimmel products and maybelline mascara. used to use body shop but went off it few years back when they changed everythin

Former Member

I just love makeup pure and simple...my favourite brands are Chanel and Dior...I love them!

Former Member

I don't get to buy much as it's pretty expensive, but my favourite brands are MAC, Benefit and NARS.

And I'm saving up for the Armani Luminous Silk Foundation.

Former Member

MAC, WSeven, Maxfactor and Barry M.

I don't find cheap make up a problem.

Former Member

I like Clinique's, Clarins lippy, Lancome are nice too but tbh, I have some Avon and use estee lauder foundation - sounds like a lot of expensive stuff but I've worked on the counters and got in with a sale of the unused tester stock so I have a lot to last me a lifetime.

I do have collection 2000 eye shadows but always have complications with cheaper foundations.

Former Member

I use a mixture of cheap and more expensive makeup.

Have lots of different stuff. When I went out last night I wore Clinique foundation, Revlon concealer, Natural Collection powder & bronzer, 17 Eye shadow, 17 eyeliner, Hard Candy lip gloss and Urban Decay nail varnish.

have to agree on that. i love the packaging, but the products aren't really that amazing. i've got the dandelion powder, but i don't often use if cause my cheapy rimmel one looks so much better.

my favourite brands are bourjois and make-up at tesco. am particularly impressed with the latter in terms of value for money and quality. i have a kohl pencil from there which is hands down the best i've ever used, and it was only something like £3.

Barbara Daly. I love her makeup, especially one lipstick called 'innocent' - it's such a sweet baby pink colour.

I use:
Maybelline mascara
No7 foundation stuff for under my eyes
Max Factor cover up
Rimmel eye liner

All so cheap (with the exception of the No7 stuff) but so good!

Former Member

rimmel, liz collinge (though i don't think it is sold anymore), bourjois (not sure if i've spelt that right) and urban decay.

Former Member

the benefit things i got were benetint and dr feelgood.
id have been pleased with them if they were £5 or £6 but £21 and £19 respectively.... I was expecting more of them for that tbh.

Former Member

Lancome, Bourjois , Max Factor, Urban Decay, No 7

Former Member

Mac and Maybelline.

Former Member

depends what im buying

Eyeshadow/Blush - MAC (and Chanel for eyeshadows)
Foundation - Chanel
Concealer - Clinique
Mascara - Lancome/Dior
Lip Gloss/Glass - Lancome/MAC
Eye Liner - Sephora (i cant get it here so my dad gets me one everytime he goes to France or the US)
Lip Tint - Benefit

I hate using cheap stuff on my skin, it feels all bleurgh :yuck:

I love B Never Too Busy to Be Beautiful, Lush's glam sister. All gorgeous packaging, beautiful rich colours, ethical and lots of fair trade as well...

Former Member

I use a mixture to be honest. I steer well clear of no. 7 as it just really doesn't agree with my skin. Brought me out in a right rash and the lipsticks made my lips hurt. Same with estee lauder.

I mix 17, body shop, natural collection and collection 2000 but just recently i bought some benefit stuff. I bought the dr. feelgood and one of the foundation playsticks. I love the playstick, they give great coverage but aren't horrible and goopy or thick. I liked the dr. feelgood to begin with but the novelty has gone now and like rainbow i think the stuffs overpriced. Hence the reason i buy it off ebay now Just got some of the highbeam stuff and also i'm going to try some of their bad skin treatments. I'll never buy it from the shop again though as i just can't justify the price.

Former Member

I can't really afford any of the stuff (benefit, clarins, clinique etc) that you lot buy - I get through it too quickly/lose it.
So I tend to only buy Maybelline and Rimmel. And 17 for eye-pencils, nail varnish, eyeshadow etc. Miss Sporty is great as a last resort. But unfortunately theres not a Superdrug for 18 miles where I live.

I don't really buy high-street brands anyway. I prefer going into pound shops etc to buy things like eyeshadow, lipgloss and bronzer. It's basically the same flippin coloured powder, but for £4 cheaper.

Former Member

Rimmel, have to agree with that, you can't beat the prices. Collection 2000 eyeshadow is ok but the lipstick is horrible. L'Oreal for Touche Magique, it's brilliant, no more dark circles.

Former Member

When I have money I am going to buy estee lauder foundation because I had a make up consoltation onces and I loved the foundation they used. I also use some maybelline products.

Former Member

Sephora's own is really good (not sure if they have Sephora in the Uk though).

Otherwise, Lancome all the way! I love it, especially the mascara range which has my lashes up to the sky.

MAC for matt red lipstick (most other brands' lipsticks don't have a matt finish).

Former Member

i buy mainly lancome and no. 7 but recently tried maybellines dream matte mousse foundation and I'm loving that too :yes:
