Have you let yourself go?

Maybe in the olden days a face full of foundation would have been ghastly - buty these days mineral foundation is fantastic - takes 5 mins to apply , bit of blusher and lip gloss and your done!! Its really light and natural and dosent sweat off or make you look caked.
Honestly - next time your by a pharmacy - pop in and try it - I use loreal - its the best!

yes farmers for sure!! other brands do do it, but i have tried a few - loreal by far the best and a good range of colours. Dont go for revlon - the brush is crap and you end up looking like you have whiskers.

Dont put to much on the brush at first, until you get the hang of it just build it up gradually - it is really easy to use though - even better get the make up counter assistant to show you how if you havent used it before

I looove my GHD's!! and I dont have frizzy hair - but I think Im still addicted!!

For those of you who dont wear makeup do you at least moisturise etc?

nah I don't moisturise either. Only thing that ever goes on my face is sunlotion. My mum said I should moisturise cos I'll get wrinkles otherwise, but I reckon it's the crap in the moisturiser that give you wrinkles is my excuse anyway!

I love love love my GHDs too!!! I was a mess when my first pair broke

and yip I moisturise a few times a day... LOreal morning and night cream and when I can afford it eye cream too... I do wear foundation if I'm out for the night but that's hardly ever these days

I tell you a good Mineral Powder is 'Designer Brands' a lot of chemists now stock this cheaper line of make up and seriously - its WAY better than the expensive brands and so cheap - like $16.99 and it lasts me a good 6-9 months.

Loreal is expensive yeah, but I hve found someone who sells them on trade me, maybe steals them form work or imports them whatever - instead of $43 each I get 2 for $55 - so thats a trick once you find your colour.
2 lasts me close to a year if not longer.
I wear clinique blush - it makes such a difference - only powder though!! lasts forever.
Dont wear mascara - Milla ran off with it oneday and I have neither found it or replaced it@!!
And I dont wear lipstick or eye shadow - they can make you look older - depending on your age and face shape - maybe just a sweep of gold when I go out. So I guess since I dont wear loads of different products I can justify spending a little more on what I do buy.
Garnier from the supermarket moisturiser really works for me, bout $20 for day and night cream

Havent seen designer brands buzzybee - but with check it out - It dosent have that sparkly 'natural glow' look to it I take it??

never been a big make up girl but am tring to pull my self together lol
