Couple years ago I had a break from BM and got a fab mineral from HofF or such and it's great and the smell is just wow !
But the container cracked and I decanted so now need more and can't recall the make .

Do you mean a powder foundation or a finishing powder? It's not clear. Can you remember how much it cost? What was the container like?

I was going to suggest Guerlain too, they smell fab.

So it's a powder foundation.

Packaging... Price...

Actually it's Clinique I'm allergic to. Not clarins. Doh!
It was around £30 in a little tub with maybe gold top ? It was two years ago Confused

The clarins skin illusion mineral foundation used to smell like parma violets. It came in a cube shaped bottle with the brush that popped out of the middle of it. Very annoying as it meant that it was useless to travel anywhere because the brush would pop out. I have attached a picture.

Its been repackaged now, not sure if that means it's been reformulated or if it still smells of parma violets.

@FloofyDoof
Omg ! Yes that's it .. not sure why I didn't recall the faffy lid !
I'm off to sniff at Debenhams lunchtime. I shall report back. It really was such a great coverage as well as smelling amazing.
Thank you 😊

Ooh yes pls pls report back because violet is right up my street and if the foundation is good also then I'd be over the moon lol
