Hi ladies am sneaking in with some INs. It seems that I jinxed that pot of foundation as no more product is seeping up through the net and as I have no other foundation that gives me good coverage anymore I have been to Boots. I took the Tarte pot with me to colour match and also to compare texture and have plumped for the No7 Essentially Natural foundation. I was also colour matched in store and was pretty chuffed when I and the machine agreed on colour. There was a 3 for 2 offer and the triple points promo so I stocked up and also got some Biore strips for Emma and stocked up on towels and tampons. Had the SA apply the foundation in store and am pleased with the feel. Have put a review on QVC website about how disappointed I am with the Tarte packaging. You can bet that one won't be read aloud on air.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!
