    I've been Money Tipped!
    Code still working (apparently expires today, 15th Feb). Just ordered another set at £27.99 with 10% TCB :)
  • I bought this set. It arrived a couple of weeks ago. I got the 'fairly light' set, which matches my skin tone perfectly. My husband noticed I was wearing different make-up, which in all our time together has NEVER happened before!

    I was really thrilled with my purchase... until I had a horrible reaction to the eye liner :( I look like I've been punched in the eyes! They're puffy, red, and bloody sore! I can't even get my contacts in this morning. Really gutted, as the only other cosmetics I've ever had a reaction to are San Tropez fake tans. I genuinely thought I'd be OK with these, as there's not very much I could be allergic to in them, I thought!

    **Shuffles off to wallow in self pity for a while**
  • yay got the code to work this time and have finally ordered :)

    I am using it as well and it's fine. Nice colour and lasts a lot longer than my previous eye liner.
    Clearly your eyes are allergic to one of the components. :(
  • So excited to get mine, hope it is quick! Wanted to try this kind of make up for aaages...

    Yeah, I went on their website to check the list of ingredients, but (like all make-up I suppose) there is just so much in there that I doubt I'll be able to ascertain exactly what it is that my eyes are protesting against!

    It is just the eyeliner though - everything else is lovely, and I love the feel of the foundation :)

    Have been avoiding this thread for a while but just saw Autumgirls post above that this is the last day for the voucher so I have given in and ordered!

    I love this stuff and I have just run out of the primer which I think is great and really helps keep your make up on. You only need a tiny amount though!

    I hope it is quick!

    Tempted to buy this set. Is the eyeshadow and lip gloss very pink when worn or do they look natural? Thanks.

    Oh dear, I've succumbed.

    I have had to change to mineral make up anyway as my eyes suddenly started to react to all my liquid foundation (and I have quite a few different ones to experiment with) - it made them water like mad whenever I applied it - but the mineral stuff seems fine. Must be some sort of chemical or preservative in the liquid foundation I suppose that I have suddenly become sensitive to.

  • I've given in too - but I do wear this brand all the time and I'm just about to run out of the foundation AND it's £22 + p&p on QVC for the same size pot so I had no choice. Right? :)
