    Just have a chat with her - you don't have to order if you are not sure. All you have to do is ask what you have asked on here etc.

    I second the Liz Earle light - it suits me.

    Where do you buy this moisturiser and how much please?

    Yesterday my Lilylolo samples arrived. I put Popsicle on first and it was absolutely perfect match! When I asked my husband what does he think he said that personaly he thinks that my skin looks "naked". Like no make-up on. Well, he is a man, what do you expect.:o
    After close inspection on a day light with a mirror my skin colour was absolutely even. Though, because I don't have many spots to cover, my friend was worried that it won't cover has spots as it didn't realy seemed to be seen as a layer on my face. I gave her the rest of my sample to try today and we will see what she says.

    But thats what mineral make up is supposed to look like :)

    Thats why I love it - covers be blotches and spots yet doesnt look like Im wearing any - I look healthy and "glowing" rather then made up. None of the girls I work with realised I was wear make up - till the day I didnt :))

    Is it the one that is Liz Earle light - oily? On her website I couldn't see any other with "light" in it's name. But £16.50?? How long does it last?:eek:

    Yes, the "oily" one is the Light one.

    I've been on a tube of the Normal/Combination one for more than 2 months and it's still nowhere near finished - you only need to use a tiny bit because it goes on really easily.

    Whereabouts do you live? - P&P can add quite a lot to a Liz Earle order, so if you're within reach of a stockist, it's preferable to buy it in person. The stockists are listed on the Liz Earle website.

    Right, I will have a look at the stockists then. I am going to Manchester tomorrow so hopefuly I will find out that Selfridges or someone sells it. If Debenhams has got it it would be great, because I still have voucher card my brother gave me for Xmass for there!!:T

    Any, it's not that sort of product. There are less than a dozen stockists in the country!

    here's the list:

    Is Cheadle anywhere near Manchester?

    There is a Liz Earle seconds shop on eBay I think - that might help bring the overall price down.

    Cheadle is not that far. But you have to drive there. I know, I checked the stockists and they only have it at John Lewis's:-( If I go to Lewis's that will cost loaaads of money. I am not to be trusted at that store:D
    However, on the review websites I found good reviews for Neutrogena Visibly Clear moisturiser so I will try that one. I have their Visibly Clear Stress control face wash which I used for the first time this morning and it feels nice. It was on offer at Tesco, that why I bought it:o .
    Unless someone else has bad experience with it?
