Sounds like the concealer is out for me then as am quite fair, just need it for the odd blochy day and this tiny red mark on my cheek (its tiny but can be really noticable some days).

Was interested in trying Hellow Flawless foundation (not that I need any) do they do samples?

Hi SuiDreams. If it's the case that you can buy anything with the beauty points try the Benefit Erase Paste. I used to use Boi-ng years ago but found it got too cakey. The Erase Paste is more runny and give you more direct application. When I used it I used a concealer brush to apply it.

When I threw away the Laura Geller Banish N Brighten tube the other week I was going to buy a new concealer and was looking around. Was going to get another Benefit It Stick as that had worked just as well as Erase Paste. I then felt bored of looking and couldn't bothered. I'm down to the last dregs of my Dainty Doll Eyeshadow base and am running a concealer brush around the rim to get the last bits out. Applied this to my under eyes and blemishes and this works just as well as a concealer. Perhaps concealers are another con and we don't need a few different types. Just a thought. x

Hey guys - Happy (sunless) Weekend!

UU
Lush Lip Scrub, Mint Julips - WNBA. It was lovely, but at the end of the day it was sugar with flavour and cost a fortune for a little jar. It was one that got me at the checkout when there was a Q :mad: I also have a Bubblegum flavoured one that needs to be used (sighs)

Lush face soap, rosemary and camomile (cant remember the name lush gave it). WMBA it was nice to my skin, but I have loads of the coalface to use.


TA
rimmel perfect match foundation - WNBA TA because the top has disappeared all of a sudden and can't exactly pack it away. anyways it was too greasy for my skin, although did have good coverage and went a long way.

INs
My 'free' Bourjois Eyeshadow arrived today. It's Violet. I'm now thinking I may sell it or keep it for a present because I have others that need using first.

Also with it a free sample of fudge for hair OOMF conditioner 7ml. Never heard of this brand so will try it out soon.

Valm just seen your comments now, as have been out since ten this morning,and haven't been back long. I couldn't get anywhere near the benefit counter in Debenhams for teenage girls. I'm afraid I didn't get the clinique in the end,I decided to get some new stuff to try. I still at the trying stage with most items, then coming up with a short list of products,before deciding on HG items. I will list my in's later after I've had a rest.

Today has been exhausting and expensive, long dog walk to go outdoors, then new walking boots and fleeces for both DH and me for our holiday with the dogs. Then to the shops to pick up my new ring for wedding anniversary in June, Debenhams, Boots and then m&s for nice food. Think we're sorting through the holiday stuff tomorrow to see if we need to get anything else.

Definitely won't be buying LIB box tomorrow after today's purchases.

A UU from this morning - No 7 Cleanse and Care eye make up remover. WBA as it worked really well and took off even mascara without having to rub.

Quick Question people. Do any of you buy stuff off Ebay?

Just got into Ebay today and realised I'm never going to use up ALL my stuff, so will try and sell it. Is it worth my while or what?

I've FINALLY got rid of the Asda LHJ shower gel. I'm so pleased. I can now alternate between S&G and L'Occitane now Yay!

I buy off Ebay sometimes, but only if i can get the item significantly cheaper, if it is 2/3rd of the price or higher then I'll get it from a reputable website instead. I also only buy brands where I know I'd spot the fakes (what I couldn't tell you about fake MAC isn't worth knowing!).

Ins to report: 2 x Barry M nail polishes from Superdrug. Some naughty forumer pointed out that you could get 2 nail polishes for £3.98 and somehow my credit card navigated itself to to the site and purchased one colbalt and one fuschia nail polish :-)

These will replace one nail polish, which has finally finished after about 5 years (no exaggeration!)
