Bare Escentuals: THE DEVIL'S OWN WORK

1028 replies

JodieHarsh · 25/09/2011 17:16

I must post about this. I have just spunked nearly ninety quid on some Bare Escentuals starter kit things.

I arrived at the counter in Stratford Westfield with a hideous bright red, sore, scarred, spotty, sweaty face, and some WITCH managed to take a decade off me with POWDER. Just powder! I mean - WT actual F?! A tube ride and a 20 minute walk home and it's still there. SURELY that's not right. I've used all sorts of super-max coverage matte stuff and it didn't cover ANYTHING like this well. O and I have the glowing rosy cheeks of a teen Shock

I promise I've not been giver a tenner to post this stuff. It's just I've spent so much I feel slightly sick. Does anyone else use this stuff? it's not going to last is it. i'm an idiot. What have I done

START IT! I would hate to lose you lovely ladies now I have found you

Sarayu · 06/10/2011 09:55

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I am a sheep and proud. Now ladies, tell me what else to buy!

Sarayu · 06/10/2011 09:55

Valium was it an orange lady that gave you the light?

valiumredhead · 06/10/2011 09:59

Yes it was saraya - it looked ok in Debenhams but it really IS too light. I was going to try the matt but I think the problem is the colour more than the light reflecting whatsit.

Sarayu · 06/10/2011 10:00

Did you buy it recently? I wondering if you could take it back and say you're not happy with it. Or give customer services a ring

JodieHarsh · 06/10/2011 10:02

HERE YOU GO!

Am now convinced no-one'll turn up and I'll look an EPIC LAME LONER TWAT

saraya no well over a year ago - more like two actually. I used it all up and the only thing I am faithful to now is the Bisque which I LOVE and have used pots and pots of and I love the lip glosses.

My experience of Customer services was definitely not the same as jodies Grin crap in other words!

I will get a tester of medium beige.
