    I think I paid approx $140 for my liquid foundation and powder. So they were around $70 each.

    LOL Sonya... it is expensive but I LOVE IT!! I don't usually spend too much money on myself so that I guess is my splurge!! I am sure they would do gift vouchers but don't quote me as I have never asked. It does last for ages though!!

    where is this warehouse trace??? im intigued!

    I am always on the look out for the "perfect" foundation. I am yet to find it.

    Well the red earth one about 7 years ago was perfect but they stopped making it.

    I just bought an $8 one from my chemist and it is flawless! I love it. I was wearing it in our professional photos on masons website. See how smooth it is?

    I currently use Estee Lauder, since I was a teenager, but only because I haven't been bothered to look at others... might have to check a few of these out

    I always use Revlon colour stay too now - very easy to apply and it really does stay on. Really good pricing on revlon stuff too. I did use nutrimetics for a while but my face doesn't agree with it for some reason now.

    I use Clinique because I once had a patch of eczema on my face and it was the only one that I tried that seemed to let it heal. It also is the only brand that has a shade that matches my skin tone. I don't like a foundation to add colour or a fake tan look... I prefer it to match the actual skin but not to get a washed out appearance that is too pale. Being a fine art graduate I am very aware of colours and subtle shades and most foundations are too orangey. I can't stand "tide marks" on jaw lines which many women get when they choose a shade too dark for their skin tone.

    I'd like to choose a more ethical/cheaper brand. Clinique is about $60 a bottle but it lasts me almost a year as a SAHM who doesn't wear it every day. Also i like it's moisturising properties and the fact that it has no fragrance. I think added fragrance in beauty products causes a lot of health issues and isn't good for the skin.

    I tried a Miessence (same brand as InLiven) foundation but it didn't suit my skin tone... the range was too limited. I wish they would expand because I like that brand.

    I am a M.A.C girl - but I was at Napolean on Friday and got a very glam lip gloss and have decided next time I need foundation I will try Napolean... It's a bit cheaper than M.A.C and I can't get M.A.C here so I need to have it sent from Brissy...

    A good makeup makes you feel special I think...

    I went on a new foundation hunt last Friday night and after a few places I ended up at Napolean and was all set to buy Napoleon Light Diffusing and camera finish but when I was ready to seperate from my money they had none in stock sooooooo I will get it next time. Ended up with Lancome "colour ideal" very happy with it but will get Napoleon next time...lol just looked where you are from Danielle they must love that combo
