Valm, I am 38 and I think Garnier are a bit cheeky sticking an age range on the BB box. Everyones skin is different and if it's been well looked after I don't see how they state only a certain age can wear it. I say give it a go and see what you think. I did try the BB with a base of No7 anti shine and it was fine.0

Flirtini, have you ever tried Virgin Vie's one step face base? It's a cream to powder foundation applied with a pad like a powder. I have been using this for years and swear by it.

Ooh, no not even looked at their stuff yet! I'll have a look for sure, sounds good, thanks! I think the other one that's been recommended is the Bare Minerals stuff, so I might try to track down both when I'm in London this weekend.
On another note am pleasantly surprised with the no7 cleanser & toner - only been a couple of days but it feels nice and so far my skin is looking good. Pores and bumpy bits definitely smaller on my nose and chin. :j I'm not sure how much it's doing to control oil - I thought I looked less shiny this morning, but then tried another foundation my mum had which was supposed to leave a 'dewy' look (yep, knew even before that was the exact opposite of what I wanted but my mum had gone to all the trouble of digging it out I had to give it a go!) so ended up very shiny today due to the foundation. Will try to stay fairly au naturel tomorrow so I can better judge.

ok so this has nothing whatsoever to do with toiletries:rotfl:I was in Tesco on wed and there was an anouncement about double electric blankets for sale at £2.50!!!!!limit 2 per customer.As I did need a new one for my newly decorated spare room i went to investigate.They were Morphy Richards with a 3 year guarentee and the man near them said that tesco had just bought too many last year and had stored them,the packaging is just a see through bag so maybe not too good for a pressie.My last blankets cost £35 for singles!.........sorry to talk electric blankets in a heatwave by the way!!!!
ok 1 toiletry bit:rotfl:have been using BS vit e serum at nights and the other night when i put it on my face was stinging for a while after:(0 -

waiting in for a delivery so have to stay in and miss the sun:(
have been doing the odd nice thing for people this week and am sure the "karma" is coming back to me:) DH came back from his exhibition last night with a large vase of exotic flowers:j:j:j
when I recovered from the shock(he does not do flowers!!!) he said a woman from work said to give them to me to make up for him being away all weekend,they were on the stand,i have to give the vase back tho!
just spent half an hour searching for some flip flops for my holiday but no sign so hope I can get some in Spain.....turns out we could have gone next week as the job DH was supposed to do was delayed so extra money spent on flights was avoidable:(0 -
