I recieved my two week bod lotion this morning. The smell of it is really familiar but I can't think what it reminds me of and it's bugging me

touchstone

I've been offered the lip gloss trial as well - it specifically says not to test it for colour, which doesn't fill me with hope!

Has anyone received their one week hand and body lotion trial? I'm quite curious as for why they call it body AND HAND lotion?!

Many companies provide different products for certain areas e.g. face, eye, hand.
So I think it's jsut making it clear that this is a hand lotion as well as a general body lotion.
Some body lotions are not concentrated enough for the hand area that can be drier due to frequent washing, so the needs are different.
It certainly won't harm to use a body lotion on your hands, but many simply aren't goo enough for that purpose.

Just been invited to join a mineral blusher trial, :cool:

Is it a blusher or a powder foundation?? I thought it was the latter although I did think it was a little dark when I got it as I am very fair. I used it as an all over foundation (very sparingly ) and then did some cheek sculpting with more of it. Must go and read the blurb again. It's a No 17, whatever it is. Don't like the brush though, if it IS a foundation. Defo a blusher/powder brush.

Mind you, I still have some of the fair powder foundation from last year so as long as this is ok for my skin, I can mix the two

Edit: Just looked at the blurb and mine is foundation - will use it more as a blush/bronzer until I mix it with my paler foundations

I bought the no17 mineral foundation earlier in the year,I have fair skin and got the lightest colour but it was still really dark,gave it away in the end.

I've just received my body and hand lotion. The size of the sample is just ridiculous!!!
So not only we can get irritations or burnts like some of you guys did with the lube, but we also don't get any compensation for our trials, unlike Litmus, and we don't even get full sized trial products?!!!
