0.05% or 0.5% I am getting confused

AmberLeaf · 05/05/2012 12:59

0.025%
0.05%
0.01%

Are the available strengths.

Pinot · 05/05/2012 13:01

[arse]

wrong link! THIS

ggirl · 05/05/2012 13:04

pinot have had a sniffter of the BB scents and loved them!!
does it last though...being a mere toilet water Grin

ggirl · 05/05/2012 13:07

ooh nice!!
but as a true addict I already have the caviar ink and brush and numerous BB cream shadows
but not a metallic cream one >

Pinot · 05/05/2012 13:08

You no havey the metallicy? Shock Get thee to JL forthwith! The Galaxy one is bonkers good - used all smudged into eyeliner. PHWOAR.

Have only just discovered BB Beach edt but it sounds good re: longlasting on t'blogs. Will report back

ggirl · 05/05/2012 13:09

wish I could use reetin A on my crepey eyelids

BUT i am going to book an appt to get my tear troughs done....have finally made decision
slippery slope to looking like this ???

QuinnFabray · 05/05/2012 13:10

Maybe Spanish, I only glanced at it to be honest.

AmberLeaf · 05/05/2012 13:10

Tear troughs? I saw that mentioned elsewhere but havent yet googled....the mind boggles

AmberLeaf · 05/05/2012 13:12

Ok seen some before and after pics...looks good I think, for some reason I had it in my head it was something to do with your tear ducts!

ggirl · 05/05/2012 13:19

bit scary tbh but am going to apparently the best woman for the job , bloody hope so anyway

AmberLeaf · 05/05/2012 13:22

I keep reading about things on style and beauty that I swore id never do! yet they are so intriguing!

Ive always had dark circles, but I think having them done is probably waay out of my price range.

Whats the cost on average?

ggirl · 05/05/2012 13:25

I think about £500 to £600 ...it's a big birthday for me this yr so major treat.
Can be done yrly to keep it up so need to start saving.

AmberLeaf · 05/05/2012 13:32

Oh thats not as much as I thought it ould be, but still alot and an ongoing thing to keep up.

I'll stick with my didgy retinol for now Grin

MrsSchadenfreude · 05/05/2012 13:39

Will it help my crepey decolletage, this cream from dodgy website? It is looking a bit crepey and spotty.

Toughasoldboots - I know !!! Haven't quite made the appt yet though...

ggirl · 05/05/2012 13:56

MrsSchadenfreude well i'ts meant to help increase collagen thus reducing wrinkles , helps renew skin and helps with spots so worth a try

AmberLeaf · 05/05/2012 14:01

didgy dodgy retinol

BlueRinse · 05/05/2012 14:18

Very tempting..........

faustina · 05/05/2012 17:46

so IS it 5%, or 0.5% then? On the label it says "0.5 mg para 1g" maths is not my strong point.

OP posts:
ggirl · 05/05/2012 18:06

I think it's .05%

or 0.5%

that's helpful isn't it Confused

faustina · 05/05/2012 18:16

could be either then, like I thought Smile
