Yes and No... I am a firm believer that you can't get all your make up from one make up brand. Mac Mascara is disappointing in comparison to other mascaras with the same price tag (Lancome/Dior), their foundation and lipsticks however are absolutely fantastic, again I've found better bronzers...

Bit late on the repsonse... but I suggest skin care is the best way forward. If you have a good skin care regime (demologica is good and tailored to your skins needs) - you'll have a less dry base to work with. Then it's about tailoring your make up to your skin - my best advice is to go...

Thank you very much for your top tips! I'll being trying them out today - I'm booked in to to get my eyebrows done and my eyelashes and such. I'll be afraid of breathing near the poor girl if I don't whack something in my mouth to help!!!! Thanks again!!! xx

Hello, I've just started the attack phase, and have two days left and already my breath is driving me mad. It's an awful taste in my mouth constantly!! I'm happy because it must mean it's working... but any tips to disguise it a little bit? I'm afraid of breathing on anyone!! x

Helllooo - I've just started the Dukan diet book, I've lost weight but hit a point where healthy eating alone isn't doing it - so I thought this may be the best option. I was just wondering... what oatbran do people recommend? In terms of value for money. :) x

That is amazing - she looked so pretty before the weight loss too. Now she'll be getting wolf whistled off her pupils!! x

Random question for the girls of minimins. How many of you attribute some/all of your weight gain to contraception? I changed to the depo injection and though it has been fabulous.... it has made me put on so much weight! :cry: I only clicked that it must be to blame for some of my weight...

My first weigh in since being on minimins.... and I've managed to lose... 4lbs in just over a week. I'll now weight myself every Monday religiously for my weekly weigh in I am going to be working out more this week so not expecting a big loss next weigh in - after all muscle weighs more than...

I try to go gym on the weekend... at least one day (swim maybe the other). Then I try to do wii fit a couple of nights during the week. HOWEVER I've not done too well this week. Though yesterday I did a massive furniture move around, broke a piece of furniture down but a new piece up... and I...

Congrats hun!!! You've done so well!! x

Cutting carbs is really difficult, I've cut majority of carbs before and had good results. Carbs are so vital to your diet.... so difficult to cut out. The best way I found is... by lots of preplanning. Or else you'll slip and 'just grab a piece of toast for your breakfast' or just get some...

After my weigh in... I'm always tempted by a glass of wine! x

Welcome!! Congrats on your weight loss so far - and good luck with it in the future!! xx

Welcome!! Good luck with it all!! Can't help with the esource thing, perhaps post a question in the weight watchers section. Someone is more likely to know in there! xx

Welcome - hope babysitting went well. Running after my niece is the best exercise of all :) x

Yeah definately pick a diet to suit you. No carbs is hardcore... and something I couldn't do because I love carbs... so it'd involve a lot of prep... so I'm just healthy eating. I was told about myfitnesspal.com which is a few online exercise and food diary from here. I'm finding that a great...

I'm reading nothing at the moment (just finished the power - the secrets sequel) for a bit of self indulgence.... self help books are not normally my thing. Although I have got a few cheeky ideas now thanks to you ladies!! x

My friend did SW and was really sucessful!! :) GOOD LUCK!! x

I tend to have big lunches and smaller dinners. I'm always really hungry morning/lunchtime then I can get away with having something light at dinner. My top tip is whilst your cooking your dinner - make your lunch. For example... if I'm having salmon and veg for tea. I'll either cook extra...

Definately get justdance - good exercise and fun too - which always helps. When I get my fitness up a bit I also use 'yourshape' it has a webcam attached that basically tracks your movements. It really motivates me because I can see all my jiggly bits as I exercise and It tells you when your...

Two weeks has made an amazing difference! Well done you!! :) xx

Dry skin is a nightmare - you normally find the cream thats best for your skin. I often get drier skin with air con/heaters at work - my best tip though is to avoid using soaps and bubble baths as much (they tend to dry me out). A few drops of baby oil in a bath helps smooth my skin, and...

I've used them - your teeth can get a little sensitive, but sensodyne does help a lot! Great results overall - though a few of my friends couldn't handle the sensitivity!! x

Bit of a random question.... but I'm trying to find out any exercises which are good for skiing. I'm going skiing in March so thought if I included some exercises which would help strengthen muscles for skiing now, it's killing two birds with one stone!! I spoke to a guy in the gym who suggest...

It's a blip. Don't think of it as falling off he wagon, you've just had a pitstop along the way. Good luck honey, and well done so far :) x

Looking through your weekly pictures is really motivating!! I'm going to start monitoring mine in pictures. Infact I will take my before shot tonight, I've already lost a few pounds before really getting into it. Wish I'd done it from the start like you now!!

myfitnesspal is amazing - thanks for the suggestion! Much easier to keep track of what I'm eating!! I'm also finding it a great help to have breakfast when I get to work, then eat only when I'm hungry. I'm snacking much less. Thanks for all your support :) xx

You look amazing - congrats!! Keep up the good work!! :) x

I'm trying to keep track - I've already spoke to someone at the gym and they've given me a bit of a plan to follow. I can get a personal training session too, but I think I'll save that I've got my fitness up a bit more. :) thanks for your help! x

Your shape is amazing. VERY hard work though, it has a little camera that you put on top of your tv that tracks your body movements. So it helps because no.1 you can see yourself which motivates me enough as it is, and it tells you when your not doing it right. It's quite easy when your at...

You actually look like a different person, so tiny! You prove that it can be done!! x

well done - you look fantastic!!

Hiya, I'm signing up here really just for a bit of advice and support. I've gradually put weight on since starting Uni, and I've been graduated a year and I've actually put on two stone since I started. I'm getting down to the gym, and trying to have 5 small healthy balanace 'meals' a day...
