Face Make-up > 50 GBP and more Face Make-up

Advantages: perks me up, smells gorgeous, looks divine, multi use
Disadvantages: perhaps the price

...points when you buy 2 Benefit items and the sheer brute force of the Benefit counter assistant which ensured I purchased the peach face powder. That day the only thing I required was a concealer - an industrial strength Benefit Bo-ing Concealer to be exact. However when the assistant spoke the dreaded words "Is there anything else?" I was powerless to resist. How could I disappoint the heavily made up lady before me? Her bambiesque eyes started ...
...powder for well over a year, I regularly use it and I haven't made an indentation into it yet! I do love this powder yet I always wonder whether I would have preferred Dandelion! It perks me up and stops me looking tired and washed out. Benefit I salute you. ... Read review

Advantages: only needs one application per day; one step
Disadvantages: expensive, but it lasts a long time

This is one of the best products on the market in my opinion! This is exactly what it says; one step. You dont need to put foundation on before you sweep the powder on, its a 2-in-1! The colour range is very good, and the powder blends into your skin providing a flawless finish. The texture of the powder is so fine, and with the application sponge that comes with the compact, the powder simply glides onto your skin. It also helps to cover blemishes! ...
...appy it once, and thats all you need for the day! There is no fuss about becoming shiny, or the make-up wearing off. Its guaranteed to stay on all day. Its expensive, but try it and you'll know why. The powder lasts a long time, and even when it has run out, once you have bought the first compact set, you can buy refills for a cheaper price that will simply slip into your old compact. Worth every penny! ... Read review

Advantages: Smells lovely, feels and looks great.
Disadvantages: none!

...friend introduced me to the Lancome range a couple of years ago, and since then I've never looked back , buying most of my essentials pieces from their range. This has become the MUST have item in my make up bag! From the moment I started using this, I was hooked! It's fantastic. It gives great, even coverage and is still nice and light, so you don't feel like you have a second skin on you face! the shades are very varied so there is a colour for ...
...it is so light, it doesn't clog your pores...a must if you suffer with oily or sensitive skin! It also adapts, hence the name ''Adaptive'' to suit you skin type, so the more oily parts such as the T-Zone are kept matt whilst the drier parts ie; the cheeks are kept nice and soft, making it an ideal product for combination skin types especially. The best thing about this is that you only need to use a small amount to get great coverage, so the bottle ... Read review

Advantages: Completely amazing for all skin types! And I love the sponge!
Disadvantages: I don't have a lifetime supply of them :(

...it's about £14 from the Virgin Vie website, and then when it runs out you can just buy the refill for about £11 off the same website which just slots into the same container. It's also a very reasonable price, it's expensive to some people when compared to some foundations you find in the high street, although works loads better and in comparison to the whole make up market this is actually very cheap for what it does! I use it once in the morning ...
...one because it has the Virgin Vie logo embedded in the powder and I like watching it slowly fade (as sad as that sounds!) The sponge that comes with this is also the best sponge I've ever used with a foundation, it doesn't end up drying out and flaking or anything, and it also doesn't absorb too much of the foundation either. I've been using the same sponge for ages now and it hasn't gotten worn out and tatty at all. But overall this foundation ... Read review

Advantages: Lovely colour, even coverage
Disadvantages: Doesn't last long, bit expensive

My favourite bronzer so far!......... Alot of bronzers can make you look like you've got that tango orange look, but I like the fact that this one has got a really subtle colour and gives a nice natural golden glow. It's quite expensive, retailing at a ceiling price of £22.50, but I think it's not a bad price considering how long it seems to last. The downside of this is that I found that it the effect doesn't last very long so I have to retouch ...
...but usually just a quick sweep does it! If you are going to use this bronzer, you will probably find it easier to use an actual bronzing brush rather than the one supplied, which is small and doesn't give even coverage! I would recommend it if you don't mind payng a little bit extra. ... Read review
