    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...

    Hi Girls!

    I wear Estee Lauder - Have done for the last 15yrs!!
    My GF that I lived with was a consultant when I first moved out of home, and it was always in the bathroom!

    I went through a stage of trying new ones (tried EVERYTHING), but found that I was too spoilt from the beginning, and so I stayed loyal to Estee Lauder!
    My SIL has worked for Loreal, Australis, Napoleon & Garnier, and I tried all of those, but wasn't happy.
    I was really happy with MAC and Chanel, but Mac is hard to get, and Chanel is too much $$$!!!

    Estee Lauder costs me around $65 and lasts around 4-5months - and I wear it everyday, so I figure it really works out to be not that expensive.
    Its also the only one that doesn't wear off by the end of the day.
