    Evening luvlies

    I've been using this a couple of years now and really like it. I choose a fairer colour for winter use, think it's called cameo and a slightly darker one for when I have more of a tan in the summer. Blends very easily :)

    :(

    Morning.

    I have been using this since it first came out, my only criticism is the clicker/button on the bottom. I have had a few I had to bin when not empty, because the clicker/button has died.

    The actual product is really good.

    They seem to have them in about four times a year. One store on way to mum's seem to sell them off too, I have managed to get them at half price on occasions and then stock up

    Morning luvlies, fab day here, not a cloud ..... as yet :D

    Happy Birthday QOC :bdaycake:

    Izzey, I've never had that problem with mine, have been able to use them until empty. I always keep a box of original packaging in a cupboard in case of a problem so I would have taken mine back. We have a loft full of boxes and packaging :o, kettles, toasters, hairdryers, I just think it looks better when going back to the shop even when we produce the receipt :rotfl:
