too old?

Jux · 10/10/2011 22:41

I used to know someone who would massage sudocrem into his face every night. Apparently it would take about 20 mins (his gf told me). He had lovely skin, like a baby's bottom Grin

Better now - well, feeling Almost Human. Will be sporting the BE tomorrow. See how ravaged my face is after so long; BE will make me wonderful again and I'll get NO sympathy!!

JodieHarsh · 10/10/2011 22:51

Ooo I rather like that last on ggirl - (and thanks for looking :) )

It IS quite old me for me (I am 31) but because I'd have immense amounts of (vaguely cool) messy blonde hair and (vaguely cool) jewellery and youngish makeup (if you see what I mean) I could youth it up a bit....

Gah. It's awful being a heffer. i don't recommend Grin

I don't recommend being a stick though either Jodie. All the dizziness and that...

That last one is lovely!

I should go to bed.

Wish me luck or pray if you do that! :)

Jodie - am peeping my head out of lukersville momentarily to advise re your frock dilemma. (hoping to repay, in some small part, the immense public service you have provided to foundation/make up junkies worldwide Grin)

Hope you find the PERFECT dress that compliments your super-new-flawless-magicky-complexion perfectly . . .

valiumredhead · 11/10/2011 08:20

I really like that black and gold dress - I think the style is nice and perfect for that sort of formal do. No one will be looking at your dress anyway -they will all be stunned by your flawless skin! Wink

LL doesn't contain bismouth Madam - it's great stuff, I am wearing it again today and like it more each day tbh. Will order a big pot definitely.

I wonder if I could empty it into an old Avon pot because the packaging is so good. Hmmmmm...

MadamTwoSwords · 11/10/2011 08:48

Sudocrem is really good for spots. You don't need a lot obviously as you really have to massage it hard into the skin unless you want attractive white patches of skin.

Day 3 of the matte and so far so good, think I will have to try some Lilylolo and compare the two.

Definately not getting on with the Bismuth it looks too pinky on my skin and doesnt blend well. As hester so kindly passed it on to me if anyone would like it PM me. It's still got loads left.

Sarayu · 11/10/2011 09:19

eugh quick check in from me. I'm feeling so ill, had a headache for about 3 days now. Ironically I look really well as I have a full face of BE on. Not getting much sympathy in the Sarayu house.

valiumredhead · 11/10/2011 09:26

Oh yuck poor you sarya - hope you feel better soon :)

Do you mean Bisque Madam? Grin

LL is very matt - I really like it.

hermioneweasley · 11/10/2011 10:23

Gah! My LL samples and blusher and eyeshadow haven't turned up and I'm about to leave the house for 3 days. Bah. I do however have a bagful of BE starter kits. Do I qualify for sympathy?

MadamTwoSwords · 11/10/2011 16:13

Ooops yes I meant bisque, that's the obsession with getting rid of this break out confusing me!

Hope you feel better soon sarayu

OhThisIsJustGrape · 11/10/2011 17:14

Ooooh... My LL arrived today :) colour looks good, hope it is because I straight away ordered a full size pot, plus 2 types of concealer and a trial size of finishing powder. Oh and a kabuki brush.

Yay! Grin

valiumredhead · 11/10/2011 17:23

I really like LL grape

valiumredhead · 11/10/2011 17:24

hermione sympathy because it hasn't turned up or are you poorly? Either way YES! Grin

PinotScreechio · 11/10/2011 17:24

Thirded grape and val

alfiemama · 11/10/2011 17:34

Fourthed Pinot, Grape and Val Grin just an't get on with BE sorry Jodie.
LL seems to last longer for me.
get better soon sarayu

valiumredhead · 11/10/2011 17:41

YY to LL lasting longer!

PinotScreechio · 11/10/2011 17:53

ooh we are rebels :o :o

OhThisIsJustGrape · 11/10/2011 20:39

Lol at rebels! I do like BE but their concealer is a big fail for me. The whole point of me needing something as miraculous as BE is because my skin is utter shite. Therefore, concealer is an absolute must and the fact that BE don't do one that matches even closely to the shade of foundation I use kind of misses that point somewhat.

Have to say though, were it not for this thread and BE, I would still be trowelling on carefully applying the gloopy crap I've used for the past 10 years rather than the revelation that is powdered minerals Grin so BE or LL, I'm just happy to be giving my skin a breather!

Tomorrow will be day one of LL for me, bring it on!

OhThisIsJustGrape · 11/10/2011 20:42

Ooooh, and I'm getting my hair cut and coloured on Saturday - this is a very rare occurrence in my life so I am just a teeny bit excited Grin.

Just thought I'd share that.

meltedchocolate · 11/10/2011 21:20

Damn, I meessed up on the last Q of my exam :( No distinction for me :(

OhThisIsJustGrape · 11/10/2011 21:26

Oh no Melted, I did think of you earlier and wondered how it went :(

meltedchocolate · 11/10/2011 21:55

Thanks Grape. Ach it's ok. Haven't blown chances of a first class hons so happy enough :) It was a good first practice I guess. Next one and last this year on Monday. can't wait til Tuesday after :o

Used original rather than matte on face today... I look too shiny... matte
