    Dainty Doll products are in my local TK Maxx cheaply too, might be worth looking there if you're after some?

    Thank you, I'll have another battle with it later :p

    I had to press it about 15-20 times before anything came through!

    Did you notice any liquid foundation at all?

    Does anyone have any feedback about the mineral powder? I am pale, pale, pale and when I heard about Dainty Doll I thought this could be my ideal loose powder... http://www.fragrancedirect.co.uk/dainty-doll/dainty-doll-loose-mineral-powder/invt/0045800

    Only thing was, the (original) price put me off a bit, and mineral powder (as opposed to bog-standard loose powder) tends to be sparkly and shiny, not matte, as I prefer my powder to be. Mineral powder is usually used as a "buildable" powder, almost like a veil of foundation, so is this what this powder is like?

    Wondering whether to give it a try. Thanks :D

    Ooh and thanks for the Urban Decay kit link, I'm trying so hard to resist!

    The only makeup I've splurged on and justified as a purchase was when MUA had a 50% off sale! I don't really NEED more makeup (apart from peely-wally powder for my corpse complexion :))!

    Sorry, didn't look very specifically at what was there. Plus it's different in every single store!

    Am pleased with my order although the concealer pen seems to have dried up - has anyone else had this problem? I've clicked it many times but nothing is coming down through the applicator!

    Had to press mine way more than that and wasn't very impressed tbh. Strange consistency and didn't blend well at all.

    If you have a W7 store, they stock this range at a discounted price and they have testers too. I thought I'd be the palest foundation shade but was actually 003.

    Edit: just checked, looks like they only have one outlet in Lincolnshire.

    That kit isn't Urban Decay, it's Diego Dalla Palma. It's a really nice set though, very good quality:)
