    Nickey yeah its very dark. I have had some makeovers recently and signed up for the eye base as it was recommended that I use an eye shadow base or primer but this is so dark for my pale skin I will only be able to use itwhen doing smoky grey/black eyes which I only do when going out at night.
    Have you tried this yet Reverbe?? I am quite pleasantly surprised! It looks very dark & greasy in the pot but goes on my skin a lot lighter & dries more like a powder :D
    My skin isn't too pale though, I have spent a lot of time in my garden recently :D

    I tried it a few times. It remains dark and greasy and I couldnt do my eyes up properly as I normally have a darker on the bottom and a lighter on the top and it made the light part so dark I had to scrub a lot off with a tissue.

    I think it must be 1 of those products that needs to be in a variety of shades so you can match it to your own skin.

    I also received this but the timgle was far too strong for me - I had to wipe it off. It was slightly better over lipstick than on bare lips.

    I have used a plumper before but it was not like this. Also I didn't see any effect on my lips

    I am the same never get sent a thing the eye makeup base I sign up for within 1 minute of it going on and never got it:(

    Will give it a few more weeks then I think I might give in. I have 45 products on my list and log in a few times a day. I must be very unlucky with getting the stuff.
    I would like to be a glow-worm.
    A glow-worm's never glum.
