Whose point can you see suki1964?

The reason I ask is because if its Lizs(:mad: ) I still don't follow her thinking.

How can it harm to put an SPF15 in?

I wear full makeup everyday (except when abroad in the sun) & I'm not going to remove & slap on sunscreen & then reapply makeup a few times a day, its NEVER going to happen & LIZ EARLE KNOWS THIS TOO.

You made that point yourself.

If she just put SPF15 in, it would be better than nothing:mad: Because nothing is what I'm using now I don't want to buy yet another cream to add yet another layer (my skin got really spotty on holiday from the face block) I want it in skin repair I don't want another smell or texture on my face, I like the cream I'm using & i want it to stay that way:mad:

Liz Earle knows an SPF included would be a lot better than none, I wqonder how many times she takes her makeup off during the day to reapply her sunscreen:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I'm really annoyed about this, I love the skin repair & I don't want to put a sunscreen on top that will change the smell & feel & may make me spotty:mad:

Mrs E - not rowing with you at all, just seeing another veiwpoint thats all

And you are very lucky that you manage to keep a full face on all day - mine usually needs redoing at least once, esp in the heat. I just get such a shine happening Im forever blotting - which is taking the make up off..

Mind since using the OCM Im not needing a full face any more, just a wee dusting of mineral veil and a touch of lippy and mascara on top of my SPF20 avon botanicals moisturiser Here give that a try - its really light and absorbs well and no break outs for my sensitive skin.

No Suki all the :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: & :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: are for Liz :rotfl:

I put it on in the morning for work & unless I was "going somewhere" I would bother touching up, thats not to say it lasts, but it lasts well enough.

I can't leave Liz Earle - Skin Repair, I LOVE IT, thats why I so bl00dy annoyed with her:o

I don't want to try anything else

Just checked my foundation SPF6.

Like I said was thinking of trying the Laura Mercier powder anyway (its susposed to be the dogs/ultimate) & its SPF15.

I just feel cheated my Liz Earle, I feel like they are trying to short change us & squeeze yet another product out of us:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

& I [EMAIL="DON@T"]DON'T[/EMAIL] SEE HER VIEW POINT :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:


I think shes short changing us & as a fan, i'm really annoyed, I expected better from them.

I never even thought it wouldn't be there until I saw the thread mentioning SPF's & though I would check.

Glad we have that sorted

I know how much you adore your high end products ( I do as well just I need to make cuts somewhere as I only earn pin money and thats being eaten by petrol costs) but you know how we converted you to the OCM - how about trying the Avon botanicals day cream?

Dont forget Im a Liz earle fan myself and have used her products for the past three years and I never thought Id ever find another moisturiser that was light enough for me yet still do its job. Ive been using this about a week and its good - better then the aldi stuff which I found stung me and clogged my pores

Im pretty sure theres nothing nasty in it because petrochemicals tend to make me flare up really quick (like straight away), face stings, itchy, goes red etc

Just looked at it, I hate daycreams that come in jars. I like light fluid formulars (like bl00dy lizs:mad: ).

Did you read my post on the Boots Time Delay, cleansing balm:j :j :j

Claims to be anti-ageing too!:T Looks like a good find.

I'm definitely going to get some and use it as a summer daycream, and switch to the Aldi one for Winter. For £5 it seems good.

Don't think the reviewer liked the smell though....made her feel sick and gave her a headache!!:eek:
