    This is the first time I've put mine on since Friday :o. Spent the day in hospital Friday and have to say, it didn't do too badly. I now have a massive spot on my chin though which I think is a combination of hot hospital ward and poor food mixed in with not taking off my make up on Friday night. Surprisingly, I didn't wake up looking like a panda on Saturday morning. A bag of carp, yes but not a panda!

    I'm fine thanks, DD broke her arm so we were in Bristol children's from Friday until Sunday. Quite a delay waiting for her op. just didn't bother with make up on Saturday or Sunday (or clean clothes/ food/ drinks in fact until DH brought me some on Saturday afternoon).

    Well, thought I'd update since this thread inspired me.

    I ordered the Missha Perfect Cover from ebay seller rubyruby. It actually arrived within a week which I thought was ace :)

    Unfortunately, I have pretty horrible skin :o and my usual mineral make up just wasn't covering well enough since I had an outbreak of spots combined with lots of dry patches (probably thanks to the weather!).

    I got shade 23 as I am quite olive skinned. I had previously been given a few samples as detailed before, and wasn't that impressed. Today was only my first go with the Missha but I seriously love it. The coverage is excellent and although it looks a bit grey, it blends in really well and is a good match. Like others have said, it takes a good 15 mins to 'settle' to your skin tone.

    It has lasted now since 7.30 this morning. I did look a bit oily halfway through the day (though that is normal for me) but after blotting with some tissue it was fine for the rest of the day & still looks OK now.

    I'll be trying the Missah signature next, but hopefully I'm on to a good thing now! :)
    Proud to be a moneysaver :)

    has anyone tried the new superdrug bb cream? I and does anyone know what the uv ingredient is? it doesn't say on the website!
    I was looking at the maybelline one but it has bad reviews and the uv protection is not one of those listed on cosmetic cop as being one that protects both uva and uvb.

    I have the maybelline BB cream, and its terrible. I had to go out & buy another foundation as it was so bad.

    Really ? I saw it on Superdrug and almost bought it! The only reason I didn't is because 15 SPF is really low for summer, specially in the sun, so I decided to carry on using my tinted moisturizer which is 30 SPF.

    I also saw superdrug own brand.. any experiences with this one, anyone?
  • hi
    I bought the Pure BB cream (on offer at home bargains). I choose the light shade.
    unfortunately it isnt light at all..its orange.:(

    I bought it and sadly will be chucking it out. I thought the formula was lovely. I usually can't use any colour product on my skin because it's so dry and goes patchy. I thought this went on very nicely and felt nice on my skin. There isn't much coverage. The problem was the colour. I bought the lightest one and it looks like a bad fake tan on me. It was very orange.

    Still loving my Skin 79 hot pink. Only negative is I need to blot mid way through the day but then I am super oily. I've ordered BRTC Blemish Recover balm from RubyRuby (ebay) and a Skin79 compact powder to try as I am now a BB addict!
