    I've been Money Tipped!
    Going to pop into Superdrug to try the new MUA on for £4. Apparently it's a proper BB cream and it's in 3 shades, that you can blend to get the right one. I think the website said its a £1 off at the mo as well, so I might get a medium & dark at that price.

    The Garnier product isnt for me. As much as i like it (and the fragrance) its bought my face out in blotches and within hours of wearing it i want to scratch my face off.... i think my skin is becoming sensitive as i am having the same problem with eyeshadow too.:(

    Just purchased No 23, Natural Beige, with the free EBay £5 :)

    Cant wait to try it now.....:D

    Just popped back to say that my Misscha Perfect Cover has just arrived from Korea and I must say I am quite pleased with it. Slightly thinner coverage than some but looks natural and the shade is right for me....(quite light tho, even if it is their darkest shade). It feels good on, has a pleasant light fragrance and is nicely packaged. So, all in all a success....especially as it was free.....!

    I am considering buying this, but what you've said about how light it is has concerned me. Now I'm not sure which shade to go for. I was going to plump for the lightest (13) since everything I've ever tried seems to make me orange! The 'Light' Garnier one, for example, looks horrific on me. But I obviously don't want to look ghostly.

    I might go for the middle one (21) and hope for the best, since that's the one most people who are light have gone for.

    Hi TOW

    Just had a really good look at the product and the coverage on my face and there are no orange tones at all. I have a typical 'English Rose' type of complexion, any darker and this product would not work at all I don't think. It's well worth a try at around £5 on FleaBay. Oh, and they sent lots of freebie sachets to try....trouble is the descriptions are all in Korean :rotfl:

    Thanks. Tbh, I wouldn't say my skin is that fair, but it must be! I don't really tan, and I am from Scotland so not much chance of sun anyway!

    Same for me. Mine has just arrived (No.23) and is great. I'm pale to the point of vampireness and this has just given me a 'normal persons' skin tone (as opposed to my usual one of 'ghost'). It went on perfectly but did look a little chalky for about 20 minutes - now it's great. This was from Ebay too.

    Just bought the Holika Holika Essential Petit BB Cream from ebay.Looks like a good one for pale skin so fingers crossed :) Will take a couple of weeks to arrive but if it's good at less than £6, with free postage,I'll be a happy shegirl!
