fab stuff, am buying in bulk if its cheaper in the US while I'm over
I have the liquid in clair.
Even if you mix it with olay daily radiance moisturisers (which is also the mutts nuts) you get a stunning I'm not wearing makeup but look like a honey very natural fresh face...
I love looking groomed - I'm hitting maturity I'd have slapped myself for saying that 2 yrs ago Grin

Littlefish · 13/04/2006 07:37

Me, me, me I bought mine yesterday - I'm Clair in the liquid. I haven't tried it yet, but I'll report back later.

I've also bought my flexitol ready to maintain my gorgeous chiropadist treated hooves. Grin

shellybelly · 13/04/2006 08:17

been reading everyone go on about this and am taking a trip into town this morning and have some vouchers, do I get this or not, I got the clarins radiant touch?? but the young lass recommended the wrong colour (can I take it back or will that be cheeky as I have used a little of it) Grin

Nbg · 13/04/2006 09:50

Get it get it get it!!!
They may take your other foundation back. Very annoying getting the colour wrong.

Ask them for an application.

Passionflower · 13/04/2006 10:02

If they gave you wrong advice take it back definitely. Blooming stuff costs way too much to put up with someone else's mistake.

rubles · 13/04/2006 10:13

Do you all converts use powder afterwards?

Nbg · 13/04/2006 10:14

No powder. It would probably spoil the effect of the foundation.

themoon66 · 13/04/2006 10:15

God it sounds wonderful. Reckon i'm gonna go cash in my boots points this afternoon!

dinosaure · 13/04/2006 10:15

Does anyone know if they sell this miracle stuff in Boots? I coudl buy some on my way to the City meet-up at lunchtime...

Nbg · 13/04/2006 10:16

Yes they do sell it at Boots. Only at the bigger stores though.

georginarf · 13/04/2006 10:16

Oh I forgot about Boots points! excellent as we are officially a no income family as from this evening.
thanks for reminding me TheMoon66

dinosaure · 13/04/2006 10:18

Thanks Nbg. I'll have a look on my way past. I could really use some miracularous make=up right now!

CountessDracula · 13/04/2006 10:19

I am gong to get some but don't want my freckles covered want more of a tinted moisuriser, will the liquid be ok?

motherpeculiar · 13/04/2006 10:21

i got the liquid in a tester yesterday (stony broke at the minute so absolutely have to trial it first ) - should have been limpide but they only had clair which looks fine on my skin too I think

didn't have time to try it yet but can't wait

is it ok for dry patches?

cannot wait to look groomed - I too am entering that phase of life I think Grin

oliveoil · 13/04/2006 10:21

ooooooh this sounds good

I bought some Oil of Olay Regenerist yesterday and it is also fab. Will bump up my other thread that everyone has studiously ignored.
