feck ye dublin feckers
i mean that in the nicest way possible 
but i wont be in dub for awhile
Giving you time to save so you can buy lots of pretty Nars things! :pac: I was impressed with their foundation as well. He put on just a little but so he could try out the blushes, but it's lasted all day (along with the blush) without any primer or powder (and it was 30 degrees today!), and the colour was perfect. Typically I've just started a new tube of Mac foundation :rolleyes:0 -

I used to use that Bioré pore unblocking stuff, it's fantastic isn't it? And so gentle on your skin too.
Today I picked up lots of lip things
Maybeline 24 hour super stay lip colour in 510 - bright red. It's my go to 'red lip' colour. This stuff is amazing, it doesn't budge.
Maybeline colour sensational in 547 pleasure me red - A slightly darker colour to the first one, looks great when applied over. It has a more velvet/satin appearance than the super stay colour which is fairly matte by itself, and too glossy when it has the lip conditioner on it.
Maybeline colour sensational in 630 Velvet beige.
It was 3 for 2 in boots on Maybeline products so I picked this up too and I needed a Nude colour, it's a bit too browny for my liking but I did just slick it on from the stick, maybe with a brush it will apply a little more sheer. Nice creamy texture and no shimmer or glitter, yay!

My boyfriend gave me a Body Shop voucher, something he got through a Meteor deal. Handed it in today and got a travel set and a voucher for a mini facial, hand and nail treatment!
The travel set is a Moringa body scrub, shower gel and body butter, and a bath lily (I never knew what they were called until I checked the label!) in a little green wash bag. And for those of you who are wondering, I've no idea what Moringa is either, but it smells nice and fresh
Also, I was checking out all the perfumes out of nosiness and accidently flicked some White Musk on my top. It does not smell good 0 -

Mine was like that from the first time I bought it- have only used ot twice! Thought I just got a dodgy one, after reading your first review! Had to take off the clumps off the wand with a tissue before I could even try use it!
Although use the gel liner and ind it good, but I use the catrice brush instead of the one it came with!0 -

I agree I tried it out and find that it has dried out so fast in the tube, it feels like I've had it for the past 6 months! The gel eyeliner that came free isn't too bad but fade away quicker than my other pots. Essence mascara and gel eyeliner win hands down and are cheaper :rolleyes:0 -
oh thanks for that, i just checked, but ill be going in saturdayMy voucher expired at the end of August, and the facial voucher they gave me expires on the same date; just something to watch out for!I agree I tried it out and find that it has dried out so fast in the tube, it feels like I've had it for the past 6 months!

Medium shade
So I have been obsessing about BB Cream for a while now, I mean it sound like a miracle product right? This is the first one I have gotten however (ironically called Miracle Skin Perfector :pac:) mainly due to convenience/being able to get a feel of the product first hand.
As for the product itself, have a look to see if it..
1) Unifies skin tone, 2) Gives healthy glow, 3) Leaves skin complexion luminous and radiant, 4) Hides Redness. (All statistics on the back of the box from 63 subjects, 5 & 6 are about 'feeling' how moisturised and smooth the product is which is kinda impossible to see).

OK so my thoughts are: I have oily skin, this is not at all suitable for oily skin. I will not buy it again and would not recommend anyone with oily skin to buy it either. I washed my face, cleansed/toned and then applied it. Within half an hour I had a badly oily T-Zone and I even skipped moisturiser due to its already moisturising properties. It has a thick consistency too it and a little does go a long way but even for 50ml the bottle feels very small. The feeling for me (maybe due to oily skin) was not smooth like 96% of the 63 people polled suggested.
I am not going to throw it away/stop using it considering it was 14 quid and the coverage is actually alright, it does reduce the appearance of pores but no so much my redness but for days when I want something lighter I will throw it on and use powder/bring blotting sheets with me. I will just wait in hope that matte BB Cream's make their way over/actually get off my arse and buy some online.0 -

I've heard a bit about these BB creams on some youtube channels.
Just wondering what the difference would be between that and a tinted moisturiser say? I saw this one you reviewed in boots and was tempted but I have combination skin so don't know if it would help the oily t-zone situation!
For those of you who have used the urban decay naked palette, is it easy to use on a day to day basis for natural looking makeup? Some of the smokey colours look great and there's some lovely shimmery ones, just wondering how they apply with all the shimmer. 0 -
I have never used the Urban Decay Naked Palette, but for shimmery eye shadows I find lightly/gently dabbing some cotton wool over the shadows helps to take away the shimmer/tone down the shimmer.For those of you who have used the urban decay naked palette, is it easy to use on a day to day basis for natural looking makeup?

I recently was given a gift of the Urban Decay Naked palette and I totally love it. Very easy to do a natural daytime look. Naked, Buck and of course Virgin are a gorgeous combination which is not shimmery (just a bit of shimmer from Virgin) also dark horse is really nice to deepen up the look a bit. I love the shimmery colours also, in particular Half Baked and Gunmetal. This really is a bargain buy palette.... eye shadow brush is really good quality also. I haven't used any other eyeshadow since I got this palette. A++++++0
