Mumsnet Talk

Wanted to give this a go but cant see where to buy it. All I can find is the US site.
Loads of people have posted about it on here so where are you all getting it from??
Preferably I'd like to go to a counter so I can get the shade right but failing that if anyone has advice on the shades I'd be v grateful - I'm fairly pale and anything even a bit too dark looks awful on me.

Thanking you.

I'd like that too. May visit the LM counter this weekend.

Hellooooooooooooooooooo, Cornsilk and I are waiting...

Don;t big dept stores have laura Mercier?

Yes where are they the lazy feckers. They're all in bare essentials. Sooo last year.

I searched space NK and they didn't have it.

Actually that's bare essensuals or some wanky spelling like that.

All the dept stores I've checked sell the mineral primer but not the mineral foundation, its odd.

Very odd. I want mineral foundation very much so that I never have to wash again.

Me too.
Takes me too long to get ready in the morning and tbh washing is the only thing I'm willing to skip.

A world without washing.
Take that Mr Tweedie.

is this it?

I looked and couldn't find it! Well done Eldo Ave - there's a code for space NK on here.

Yes thats it!
I looked on spacenk last night too but couldn't see it. Thank you EldonAve <mwah>

I am pleased because I also found that Liberty sell the tinted moisturiser in porcelain which SpaNK don't

I am a nude gal myself.

What a great thread! Was just thinking the same thing... thanks Eldon.

On a shading note, nude makes me look like jordan but porcelain makes me look like wednesday adams... would I be bonkers to buy both and do some kind of mix?? Advice please.

I read once that Nigella did just that!

Mixing works okay - I would just mix a little for each application

I use the Nude in the summer

Eldon - I think you've got the right idea. I'm a definite porcelain in the winter and nude in the summer () and somewhere in between at the moment...

I ordered some but they don't show the shades very clearly on the site. Hope it's okay.

I ordered some too - I went for Real Sand, have no idea if it'll be ok but looked on the LM US site and the colours were a bit clearer.
Am hopeful. Poor but hopeful.

I use Lily Lolo mineral makeup here. They send you little testers that cost penies - the blusher one I used for a good month and it cost 50p. Lily lolo came out in a Marie Clare review as the best mineral make up too!

Didn't think to look on US site. I went for tender rose. I've read good things about that Lily lolo - might send off for a tester.

I bought some of this in the US earlier this year. Am using the Real Sand which is a good colour if used v v sparingly and worked properly into the skin. Tis much better with a decent brush (ie LM expensive one, sigh). I usually use Nude in the tinted moisturiser in the summer, find it a little dark in the winter. If I am a bit more heavy handed with the mineral powder it looks darker so am hoping will do for the summer.
Do you also have the mineral primer? I found that helps too.
And no, sadly I don't work for LM. I just LOVE her make-up. (And got a 'mineral starter kit' with loads of stuff v cheap in the USA).

They do have it at the LM counters, but not generally in the SpaceNK shops.
