Is that the Nicorette inhalor one I keep seeing on TV or something a tad better???

A big tad better There's a thread here somewhere so I won't mess up this one with irrelevant stuff, except to say they're like enamel cigs with a battery inside and they produce "smoke" which is actually vapour. I've got one on the go at the moment, it's connected to my lappy by a cable so I don't have to worry about the battery running down. I'm sure I look a picture

Re MMU, just seen on Ideal World this morning they're doing APT, mostly pressed but with some coloured powders for eyes/lips/nails:

I use medium beige in BE, what is the nearest colour in EB? MTIA.

I would ask EB that question, I'm sure they get asked it a lot and will give you the "right" answer.

By the way, do let us know what they say - Med Beige is my colour in the summer too, it was the first one I bought - but I can't wear BE cos of the itchy bismuth.

Hi I received an email from EB

Thanks for e-mailing us.
I would recommend trying a few samples as we can make a custom foundation for you from a combination of shades if you let us know what quantities worked well for you.
Barley, Honey, Bunny and Blush are probably the shades that would give you a match for the Medium Beige. Try the Bunny and Blush first to see how dark they are on you and then you can work out how much of the Barley or Honey you need to mix with them to lighten them to give you a perfect match.
The powders mix together very easily, all you need to do is put a tiny bit of the shades that you want to mix into a container and then shake it well and the two shades will blend together to give you a new shade.
Our foundatios are good for oily skin, but if you need more oil control then our finishing powders are designed to absorb oil and hide fine lines. I would recommend you try a sample of the Matt finishing powder too. Just brush it on over the top of your mineral foundation and it should keep you shine and oil free all day.

I tried to persevere with the itching caused by BE because I liked the finish I got from it but after finding this thread I know I don't have to suffer anymore:beer:

Oooooooooh........... I'm going to have to call Nicola and ask for some of that! I need some more foundation anyway...

I've not itched at all with EB. Let us know how you get on - and tell us how much you love the packaging too........ it always seems like my birthday when I get my order.
