SHEEP MAY SAFELY GAZE IN THE MIRROR: BE, LL, BBH, & all else beside

[JodieHarsh]

Mbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Grape are you barely buff in LL? which concealor have you got?

Yes I'm barely buff in LL, I've got the barely beige concealer. It looks miles out in the pics on their website and I nearly bottled out and ordered a lighter shade but I put my faith in the Gods of LL and by Jove, they were right :)

Sounds fab grape I think I will order a sample pot of the veil, such a shame they don't do a sample of the concealer or blusher. Good idea about emailing them. I found they have fantastic customer service.

Grape have you tried the LL veil under the foundation, someone said this really works?

I've been using popcorn, has anyone got popcorn and barely buff, is there much difference? Think I will order another sample, I like popcorn but want to make sure I am using the best for me and love receiving the little pots.

I wonder if using the veil UNDER the foundation would prevent 'poriness?'

Thanks grape - iyo it's better than the BE Bisque?

Actually you get a really good amount for a sample of LL, don't you? Loads in those little pots!

I believe it does valium as it stops seepage . I know they really pack it in. I got some samples of BE and it was miniscule.

Go Lilylolopoliooliorolypolyio (hey we may get some freebies .

I also, just like the fact it's natural and not filling skin and pores with crap.

Oh and for anyone still experiencing breakouts, this may help. I was using a mini kabuki from BE but found when I switched brush, the breakouts have stopped. I think someone did mention the brush, as it's goat hair (poor nanny).

ME!!!! I mentioned the goat's hair brushes Glad switching has stopped the break outs!

So goats hair brushes are better? From where?

And it says in the guide if you have oily skin or in humid air use veil beforehand...which I do and it's fab :)

ooh well thanks val
no pinot I think it was the goat's hair brush causing the break outs.

The goats hair brushes that BE make can cause reactions.

What are the LL brushes like?

Val I couldn't get along with the bisque. Yes the coverage is good but it just left orangey purple patches on my face once I went over it with the foundation. Same happened if I used it over the top PF foundation.

I went into debenhams to see if they had a lighter shade (mine was summer bisque) but the ordinary was even darker so I gave up. I'm very yellow toned though and I reckon the bisque is pinky toned so that's why it didn't work for me. I did rate the coverage though.

I also use the LL Peepo around my eyes and on some of my more red/purple old acne scars as it really neutralises the colour. I've also got the green Blush Away but not tried it yet.

Oh let me know about the Blush Away - I ordered the Peepo but it's only good for under eyes on me , no good for high colouring.

And, I'm fairly certain the LL brushes are synthetic. I didn't have a problem with the BE brushes and actually preferred them as they seemed stiffer (I feel they buff better) but because I only have the mini BE brushes I get better coverage with the full size LL brushes so will stick with those.

Phew, I feel somewhat of an expert, I usually know nothing about anything

Ha ha

I have a MAC kabuki but it was crap for BE - I must try it with LL...

I wonder if the stiffness of the brushes is related to the breakouts? As in, the brushes buff the product further into your pores?

I presumed it was a reaction to the goat hair, like when people have allergies to wool.

Yes, that's a more likely theory.

Keep checking myself in the mirror - LL still looking great. I know I sound boring now but I can't tell you how much this has changed how I feel about myself. I have a friend coming round in a little while, I used to actively avoid seeing anyone in the afternoons as I would look so shite by that time of day :( My skin really affected my self esteem to such an extent, now I feel more confident (still have a way to go but it's on the up!)

Me too grape - I have good clear skin, no spots but reacts terribly to central heating/sun/coming inside from the cold etc and it reacts a bit like rosacea. The Bisque has helped SO much :)

I know what you mean grape. Just done the school run and no touch up needed at all, which is unheard of.
Sorry to be thick but is the bisque, BE's concealer?

Yes alfie

Found the thread - now to read....

Wonderingtwo things re BE:

1. where is the best place to buy it from, the foundation that is?
2. am I putting too much on? I do the whole swirl and tab and buff thing, but my pots definitely don't last as long as they said they would!
