I only wore it once - aged 15 - and ended up with a peeling face - that's when I realised I was allergic to a lot of make up products -
that and when I woke up with my weeping eczma on my neck!!!(allergy to a cleanser)

Pan sticks were great - you could 'draw' them on your face and, once they 'set' you looked fantastic - as long as you didn't move a muscle in your face LOL

LOL dozza's mum - they still sell pan stick I think!!

I have always had deep 'laughter lines' around my eyes - even from childhood (cos i'm a cheerful so and so ) - so was slightly taken aback when last year, my 77 year old mum commented on my 'crows feet' - I pointed out they were laughter lines. My daughter piped up,Nothing's THAT funny!!!

Fortunately for her she's too old for infanticide.

I read that Aldi's cream for £1.99 is one of the best on the market! Better than the Boots wonder cream, apparently. BC XX

Do you mean moisturiser? I'm allergic to lanolin - which is in almost every moisturiser - especially the 'simple' ones - so I use hemp stuff by Body shop. Its not too expensive either. It costs about £8 and lasts 6 months.

I don't use any face cream but I read on the quirky news the other day that a face cream from Aldi that costs £1.89 a pot has been voted as a top one......they have run out of them as thousands of pots have been snapped up..

Cheap v Expensive.

I've been told that Nivea cream is just as good as all the expensive creams on the market. Is this true do you think, and which one do you use?
