This is fabulous, lasts for ages too, the kit is good value as you get all the brushes with it

Thought I'd pipe in, I went for the boots no 7 test fantastic!! Got foundation that matches my skin tone for a change glides on and bought the press foundation for more coverage for wedding. Also bought the primer which works miracles!!! Defo recommend x

Thanks for all the great suggestions!
I may go for the Dior once I run out of what I'm currently using. No one has any experience with the Clarins?
Collette, I used the bare minerals for about 10 years and loved it, but a few years ago it stopped working for me. It started settling into fine lines and pores and didn't give me good coverage any more. Don't know what happened!

I love clinique but only got into it this year - usually bought supermarket brands....cheap n cheerful like me ....but the shades were NEVER right (I am totally pale ) so got colour matched at a clinique counter after trying estee lauder and not liking the results x

I never actually tried their primer, that came along years after I started using their foundation and so I never bought any Is it nice? I'm using the Clarins primer and I do like it.

I love clinique too but I only use their skin care products (absolutely love the 3-step). Which foundation are you using?

 

[alottolose]

The primer helps with the coverage and it lasts all day too. I used to use clarins skin cleanser toner and moisturizer, Really nice stuff, but just a bit too expensive.
Ive just discovered Argon hair oil called Miracle Oil from Aldi £3.99, flaming marvelous stuff.

What do you do with the Argan oil CPL? x

 

[CPL]

you put it on your hair either before or after blow drying, usually costs round £30 for a bottle of Moroccan oil, its great for dyed hair or dry hair i love it

Oy, just joining in here - I used the bare minerals for about 5 years but it seems to be sinking into my lines recently so I've switched to a liquid. And as far as applicator is concerned, I am now using and absolutely swear by the cosmopolitan sponge. I'm right now using this Korean bb cream, it's actually fantastic but very light (in colour I mean) and they seem to have made the darker versions for the US market which I understand are pretty crap as well as being stinky.

I started using the Bobbi brown bb cream this year and I am hooked. You only need a tiny bit and it does a good job of oil control and skin treatment too, although I usually add some powder on top to set. Maybe a better alternative than the Korean ones? I was skeptical that you replace foundation, but I've been pleasantly surprised.
