Glad your luck is turning round. My DD got a kiss from Mark from Take that she didn't wash for a day and I had to step in:rotfl:

That so unfair of you Rubes..... Did you take a photo of said kiss area before permanently deleting it.
I'm a mum & wouldn't have washed myself. Do you think my children would have stepped in & insited I did.

Playing catch up again...... we need a rabbit smiley ( rabbit rabbit Chas n Dave styleee :rotfl: )

I have the same problem, and have been using an old sample of Almay oil-blotting translucent powder to deal with it. I want something light and translucent and I was thinking of getting some no7; has anyone tried:

No7 Perfect Light Portable Loose Powder - £11
No7 Creme Touch - £8.25
No7 Perfect Light Pressed Powder - £11
No7 Perfect Light Loose Powder - £10

Or any other recommendations? Even if they aren't No7, but come out as cheap or less than No7 after the £5 coupon?

Edit: Ohh, I kept searching online, and saw Max Factor Cream Puff for £4.95 (and I have a £2 off coupon). Anyone tried this? And there's Rimmel Anti-shine for £3.69, plus some 17 powders. I'd appreciate any tips, and if there's something as good/better than No7, I may just wait to see what next month's offers are before I buy.

Hiya :wave: I absolutely swear by No7 Perfect Light loose powder in Translucent to "set" my foundation and concealer in the mornings, then I touch up in the day as required with No7 Perfect Light pressed powder also in Translucent. Just remember to dust the excess powder off in the mornings though I have pale skin and the above combo along with No7 Instant Radiance concealer and L'Oreal Infallible foundation in 'Porcelain' work really well for me as I don't look orange or cakey, and they last well too (both in the pots and bottles and on me )

P.S. Have never quite understood what the Creme Touch is for - is it one of those foundations and powders in one?

Hi everyone,

I am a bit of a Boots thread lurker but rarely get time to post.
But thanks to you all for helping to give my advantage card such a boost over the last few months!!

I was just wondering if someone could tell me about the No7 voucher everyone is referring too - is it from .com? I am registered but haven't bought on there for over a year. Sorry, i have gone back for pages but can't find anything and it isn't in the first post?

Also just to let you know i tried the Model Me Jamelia shampoo and serum today but the till beeped with the acm voucher! d'oh

Thanks

Someone here got an email with a link to it. I never got that email, so I am really grateful to the OP for sharing. The link is on CPG first post:

here is a voucher you can print for £5 of N7. xpires 14/6. Thanks to PollsDolls for this. PollsDolls has also kindly one this list to giv you an idea of some things you could use it towrd with minimum spend. here. It DOES work on the make-up brushes as does the 250pts from GWP.
does not work on:
reduced No7 liplicious gloss
any clearance No7.
Make-up remover
Wipes

Well I like MF Cream Puff and just use it as an all-in-one, easy enough to carry around for quick touch ups too. It's a long time best seller which I used to think had an old fashioned image, I can remember my mum using this when I was about 5 and I'm 50 this year but I really do like it, I guess the fact that they are still selling this just goes to show how good it is.

I also have a sample size of EL Aero Matte translucent powder, I don't know where I got it from but it's great for shiny bits. Just looked on .com to check the price though and it's £22.50 :eek: so I guess this is going to have to last me a loooooong time unless I can blag another sample from the EL lady:rotfl:

You seem to be more experienced than I as I don't use foundation or concealer! I just want something to hide the shine left by spf lotions, so which might be better for that: a loose powder or a pressed powder?
