I actually chucked mine in the bin:o:D

Really, it's that good??!

I have used Revlon Colorstay for the best part of 20 years, and MAC powder for nearly 10 and I an surgically attached to both of them. I can't see me finding a half decent BB in the right tone for me.

It is for me Great finish,perfect colour match,easier to put on,don't need to keep blending lol,feels better on the skin,doesn't need concealer over dark circles,looks perfectly natural and only £7 a tube!

It may be just me but I can't see the appeal with BB creams. I have a sample of the Boots No7 one and it seems to look duller and flatter than their tinted moisturiser and foundations. I know their appeal is being an all in one product but so is a tinted moisturiser, though I know it doesn't have primer in it but I don't use primer anyway, personally I can't see the point as its just another expense if you buy it seperately.

Have you tried the asian ones?The european ones are nothing like them,the european ones are pretty much just tinted moisturiser.

Just wanted to add,I think it's a more multipurpose base for me too! Summer I always have to use another foundation mixed with moisturiser (my own tinted moisturiser concoction) as when the ickle freckles across the bridge of my nose and slightly onto my cheeks come out,the Lancome doesn't quite look right -that and lighter covering is nice in summer lol.

During autimn and winter it's Lancome only,which I have to admit is brilliant.But,it also looks very 'finished'.Which is fantastic,but it looks better 'finished' when I manage to straighten my hair:rotfl: (yes manage-not often and it takes forever)When I leave my natural curls in and wear my hair down,the flatter finished look doesn't quite sit right with me for some reason,I just think more natural finished looks better with curls.

So,with this I can wear it on it's own most of the time,or when I want a more finished look,maybe when I'm back at work,I reckon a light dusting of translucent powder will do the trick no problem.Also means I don't need two different foundations throughout the year,moisturiser,primer (often use a brightening one in winter as my skin is at it's whitest then and more prone to dullness),no concealer :jand I have to say,my Benefit Positint works better with it too

So,can anyone recommend a good translucent powder? lol

I got the Holika Holika Petit Essentials BB cream,at around £7 (may have been a lil less) it's worth a try

Thanks. Did you buy it from ebay?

Just had a look at the bb cream you mentioned. Unfortunatly it isn't veggie friendly so I couldn't use it.

I'm really tempted to try a korean BB...but a little confused about how to make sure you buy a genuine product! There are so many different ebay sellers with different pricing!

I also have no idea which one to try... I have sensitive, blemish prone, pale skin (redhead!) and I'm no good at judging shades in testers in shops let alone online I've read so many articles but end up more confused by the second!

Girl stuff is complicated..

You can buy sample sizes. I bought a skin79 sample off ebay.

Also, I guess you can never be 100% sure if something is genuine or not.
