The liquid should be just right for you CD.

marthamoo · 13/04/2006 10:27

I want some of this now. Don't know what colour though and I'm frightened of the 'Beauty Girls' in Boots, they look down their orange noses at me...

Nbg · 13/04/2006 10:29

Have you got a House of Fraser or Debenhams near you MM.
They stock it too.

marthamoo · 13/04/2006 10:32

Ha! No, I live in Sticksville - so Boots, Superdrug or the Pound Shop (don't suppose they have it there...) And my Boots is rubbish - I've been waiting about 3 weeks for them to have the size I want of Coco Mademoiselle Angry

CountessDracula · 13/04/2006 10:36

Dino go to HoF at Monument they will have it

Nbg · 13/04/2006 10:54

MM
Have a look on Boots site then and order from there if your confident getting the right colour.

marthamoo · 13/04/2006 10:58

Can't decide between limpide and clair - think very pale with freckles, and I think my skin is yellow toned rather than pinkish...

Nbg · 13/04/2006 11:03

Probably clair then.
I have limpide and am very pale but probably more pink tones (I think)

Frenchgirl · 13/04/2006 11:05

arghhhhhhhhh

will you all stop it with the Vitalumiere??????

I'm going to have to go and try it this afternoon

am also going to try \link{http://collection.hobbs.co.uk/Main/index.cfm?page=1003&element=1075&parent=1002&numdisplay=0\this dress on}

I blame MN

Nbg · 13/04/2006 11:06

Oooh
in chocolate or black?

Socci · 13/04/2006 11:07

Right, I am getting some of this as I look very tired atm due to lack of sleep.

I presume it is better to go to a make up counter though because I don't know which colour I wold need.

Frenchgirl · 13/04/2006 11:07

the vitalumiere or the dress? Grin

chocolate definitely, don't really suit black I think

marthamoo · 13/04/2006 11:09

Is it going to make me look dewy? I don't like dewy as I have oily skin and have been fighting the 'dewy' look all my life.

Socci · 13/04/2006 11:10

Can someone post a picture of how it looks, please?

Nbg · 13/04/2006 11:11
Grin

Go and have it applied Socci. They applied the cream on one side of my face and the liquid on the other so I knew which one I wanted.

Love that dress. Will you need shoes too Wink

oliveoil · 13/04/2006 11:12

marthamoo - would you like me to get you a sample at lunch?

I can go to Boots, Selfridges, Harvey Nicks and Kendals and get a selection!

Nbg · 13/04/2006 11:12

Not dewy but very illuminated and fresh looking.

Frenchgirl · 13/04/2006 11:14

Nbg you norty girl, no, I do not need to shoes!!!

marthamoo · 13/04/2006 11:14

Oooh you lovely woman - I would so like that!

oliveoil · 13/04/2006 11:16

Frenchgirl · 13/04/2006 11:17

Nbg I'm going to slap you in a minute.......

marthamoo · 13/04/2006 11:20

Ooh thanks olive - but don't waste your lunch-hour on it (I think clair or limpide will be the right shade...)

oliveoil · 13/04/2006 11:23

mooching round shops a waste? Wash your mouth out immediately.
