I have got a bottle of this. It doesn't have the full ingredient list, that must have been on the box that it came in, but it does say on the back of the bottle that it is paraben-free.

No, no parabens. I use it all the time. It is a bit white, so without makeup you tend to look a bit ghostly.

I get the tinted one.

no parabens but lots of silicone

it's not bad in an unhealthy way, just bad in that it does nothing for your skin, provides no moisture or nourishment: sits on surface, blocks pores, makes you shiny, is a petrochemical derivative, is not biodegradable....like mineral oil basically

yes and no, primers are all made with silicone, provides a slippery base and stops product penetrating skin, basically creates a waterproof sheet over skin

aaaah thanks :)
did you get a good deal?
I mix it with cream, then put foundation over top, at weekends I wear it alone, have also used it on holiday, but it's not waterproof so you have to reapply, but at least it's not greasy

firstsupermum · 29/06/2012 00:49

i bought it for £28.50 free delivery, is it good?
which cream do you mixt with?
my foundation is missha bb cream

I'm currently using La Roche - the tinted one, but finding it very orange (I'm pale). MAC is ultraviolet white so can you get this John Masters stuff in health food shops like Whole foods, do you know?

firstsupermum · 29/06/2012 19:08

i dont think you can get it from healthy food shop? i never seen it before out there, thats way i order it online.
but i hope i am wrong. try.
