    Ok girls, I have a voucher for Brown Thomas. Im quite fussy on foundation as my skin can become dry and flaky so I use Rimmel lasting finish and find it perfect for me.
    So my question is, what would you recommend me spend my money on (besides foundation and brushes, have those)?
    I want to spend it so bad, but want to get good products that I will use a lot.
    Hope you can give me lots of ideas, thanks.

    For make up, I'd recommend going to Bobbi Brown, they are amazing for make up, they have something for everyone.

    Also, do you want to spend the voucher for the sake of spending it or cause it's expiry date is up soon?

    If it's just for the sake of spending it, then personally, I'd wait until you actually need something or see something you want, at least then you'll have the voucher to use.

    it depends on what is missing from your kit really, you don't have to spend it all on one brand. I'm not a big fan of bobbi brown because its too natural, if i spend 20 mins doing make up then i want to look better than i do without it!

    Look at your make and see what you're not in love with, like maybe you haven't found amazing eyeshadows yet, or maybe you're not really pleased with your mascara, or perhaps your skincare. See what you need and post up the kind of look you like and we can try and advise accordingly. Also i would def book in with a brand for a makeover or make up lesson if you're spending much money. Might as well get the most of it!

    Why don't you have a look at some beauty gurus online and see what stuff they would recommend. Think about the stuff that you might need and ask the people at the counters for some advice. Experiment with brands you've never used before and you never know you might like them :D

    Depends what sort of way you like to wear your makeup, what you already have and are happy with, and what you're missing. Also very much depends on your colouring. I would say maybe some mac eyeshadows, a nars blush/laguna bronzer or both, benefit highbeam as a highlighter if you're pale/medium and mac fluidline in blacktrack if you like strong black liner/flicks. Also I know you're happy with your foundation but if you need a nice powder then I like the mac mineralize skinfinish naturals.
