I prefer No7 Shock

although Chanel packaging much prettier - so that's the one I leave out on display.

I don't hate it. But it's only alright.
And it feels too heavy.

cod · 21/04/2006 20:48

HAVE YOU THE LIQUID

FrannyandZooey · 21/04/2006 20:49

It feels icky sticky on your skin and it makes you smell a funny dusty orange scary lady smell.

Pinotmum · 21/04/2006 20:50

Just gone and sniffed mine and it smells fab and light and dewy and reminds me of my youth and feeling carefree! Grin Old lady me bottom!!

Please someone remind me to say thankyou to OliveOil for my free sample - it came on Saturday but then I was ill and then I forgot...and I think she only logs on at work.

arfy · 22/04/2006 11:09

OK am taking my oily t-zone off to Richmond. Thinking I may cop out and buy usual Botanics foundation and spend the (significant) difference on something else. but we'll see - I'll report back.

was georginarf BTW. Discovered last night that people though me and GeorginaA were the same person Blush

swedishmum · 22/04/2006 15:17

Love it - thank you! I look like me but not so old and knackered. With that and my touche eclat I'm almost presentable!

anchovies · 22/04/2006 16:00

Well I really like it. Can't believe some of you are finding it too dry though? Exactly the opposite I'd say. Spent an hour on the chanel counter last night in the trafford centre and the lady was lovely. And not at all orange. Got tonnes of samples (she felt sorry for me cos I've just had a baby and it was my first solo trip since having him!) Also bought a lip gloss and some coco madamoiselle.

arfy · 22/04/2006 20:35

I have it

In limpide. And my Chanel lady was lovely (and admired DD, even better). And I got lots of samples and a nice little smart carrier bag (I love those)

Will be trying it tomorrow, also I don't think it smells of anything, and I can be funny about smells.....

harpsichordcarrier · 22/04/2006 20:40

I think it smells very nice actually, of expensive sun tan cream
this is the longest thread I ever started Shock

I am quite excited about tomorrow now. Even though I'm only going to the tip. Hopefully the burly men will appreciate my dewy looks
