    Posted: 19 April 2009 at 3:50pm
Has anyone purchased this stuff and been happy with the results?

Is it as good as the adverts make out?

I have a couple friends who swear by the stuff but I need a little more convincing ...

Atm I just use a cheapie brand from the chemist, their mineral powder works a charm but when it runs out I might consider splurging and getting one of those tins where you get 2 packs for the price of one.

Failing that, anyone care to share their make-up secrets ...any products you swear by? Preferably something that is light, doesn't take ages apply and doesn't look caked on iykwim

Thanks

I have friends that use thin lizzy and yeah they think it is great too.
I use elizabeth arden makeup and I swear by it and would never change. Their foundations (mousse and powder) are fantastic and real easy to apply. I apply the mousse (sp?) with a brush and that makes it look really natual and light I find...but syill looks good of course.
Their products are expensive, so may not have helped, but I find that they last ages as you don't really need much of it.

Before you buy any makeup , make sure you know your skin type first and what type of coverage works best on it ,eg, if your skin is dry, then one with a matte finish will make it look drier ,etc thats all I have to say .

Oh that and how much I hate the Thin Lizzy adverts on Good morning , almost as much as the blimming Bio Mag ads .

I love my thin lizzy!!! it's so so easy to apply - like takes less than a min and does the trick I'd definitely recommend it!! But I agree the ad for it is sooooo annoying and nearly put me off

Thin Lizzy is a bronzer so if you have good clear skin and want a bit of colour then its ideal. If you have blemishes and want a bit of coverage then you're probably better to go with a mineral foundation again

I thought Thin Lizzy would be great (judging by all the ads they have and all the different skin types they show) but am really disappointed with it.

- and I have 2 of them cos it comes with 2 compacts!! Grrr - wish I'd spent my money on something else/.

I dont think it's as good as they make out. I do use it most days as a blusher and eye shadow but not as an all over coverage!

Yeah I've been wondering about it too. I want to try it but the girls in the ads always look rather orange to me so I'm a little put off.

I purchased the powder first, thinking that it would work like a foundation (not particulary experienced with makeup) and realising that it was a bronzer kind of a thing, didn't really use it all that much because my skin is quite red in places and it tended to accentuate this.  I then went to the pharmacy and asked the assistant to help me with a foundation to cover redness and she told me about the thin lizzy concealer.  I had seen it in an ad before and thought it might do the trick.  After wearing it for awhile it tends to seperate on my skin creating a patchy look and even seems to disappear in places.  So I would not recommend the concealer, but I'm sure the powder would work fine as a bronzer.

I use thin lizzy during the day for like everyday makeup. Its great for that, but when I want a 'flawless', lol, looking face I use shisedo and then thin lizzy as bluch etc. Thin lizzy give me a natural summery look which I like for everyday as a SAHM, just so I dont look crappy all the time, lol

If you have really pale skin I wouldn't get it as it is reasonably dark (even the light shade). My sister brought the 2 for 1 deal and gave me half to try out. I only put the tiniest bit on and when Jess came home he noticed straight away lol. Still I have grown quite attached to it. It's so light it doesn't feel like your wearing makeup. So I use it during the day when I'm out and about. I think it's worth it. You could always ask a friend to go halves on the 2 for 1 deal the first time just to try it out.

My favorite foundation will always be Moisture mist compact though. I remember my Mum using the same one when I was little and Jess thinks it smells like old lady but it's the longest wearing foundation I've found with great coverage. It's perfect for my combination skin as well. It's not oily or dry.

I use covergirl EA or Shiseido (sp) and only use TL in the summer when I go a bit browner as a bronzer and in general as a blush and eyeshadow....but im very pale and so even the light shade was a bit too dark for me and I had blemishes to hide too
