Anyone tried any products? I have the new magnetic brush thingy which I like very much as it's so handy and one of the lip to cheek pots (not sure it's the right colour for me yet). I'm toying with the 'miracle blur' but it's expensive for what you get and not sure if it's worth it so if anyone has one is love to know what you think of it?!

Oh I've come here to burst your bubble. I'm so sorry! I've always been a fan of her videos on YouTube. I cannot emphasize enough though that you should really save your money and give Miracle Blur the big swerve. It's a product that really needs more tweaking. It goes on all crumbly and it's just a mess. Her response is that there's some special way to apply it, which is nonsense, to be honest. Get yourself a pot of Clarins Lisse Minute! It does exactly what Miracle Blur is supposed to do, but better. There's more of it and it's just a superior product for less money. I was so disappointed with Miracle Blur. And it's tiny! It really is daylight robbery. If you're on Facebook and you see the reviews, you'll get the picture. I wouldn't waste my money when there are far better products out there.

I believed the hype and bought miracle blur. For me it was a waste of money.

Oh I'm SO glad I posted!! Thank you both, I'll give it a miss. I do like the brush and the lip to cheek (though I think it's expensive). Clarins it is then!

Some of the eye colours look lovely.

You'll like it if you like natural with a bit of luminosity. That said it's very expensive for what it is

BFF is not worth the money. I have tried lots of the lip products, bought in a mad moment because I thought they would be marvellous. Didn't rate. I won't be buying anymore of her offerings.

BlackSwan · 07/03/2020 19:48

really cheap looking - not my thing.

@BlackSwan, that's disappointing, what did you buy?

I got suckered by her YouTube videos and bought BFF, contour thingie and a lipstick pot thing. All completely wear off within an hour and the lipstick is soo drying. Such a disappointment as the stack is a fab concept, but I think her perspective is a bit off because she has a fancy team in London keeping her youthful and glowy, bit unfair to expect my Nivea to give me the same look.

Dominoz · 07/03/2020 20:39

I love her lip to cheek. I also love the eye colours. Haven't tried the miracle blur yet but do have it. I realised I have a hylamide pore filter cream from deciem which is great and similar, also Clarins Flash Balm I feel... Have got the BFF too but I prefer Laura Geller Balance and Brighten or Bare Minerals.

I love the Trinny concept, her colours are high pigment, her website helps with application and colour matching. It's worth a go. It is good quality.

Dominoz · 07/03/2020 20:40

Hylamide HA Blur

theschoolonthehill · 07/03/2020 21:44

I bought a stack. I was so disappointed. I sold everything and appreciate MAC more than ever.

BlackSwan · 09/03/2020 21:00

I bought nothing! I saw it at Fenwick. The packaging looks like something you would expect from a high school entrepreneur project

OverByYer · 09/03/2020 21:04

I like the bff and the foundation.
Don’t rate the miracle blur though , can’t see any difference.
I like the eye colours though. Will probably give the lip to cheek a go

moonfacebaby · 09/03/2020 21:05

I like the eyeshadow, but I also got the eye serum/concealer thing and it is terrible. Conceals nothing - I’ve since discovered a Revlon one that was recommended on here and it’s a third of the price. Fantastic coverage too.

I’d buy more eyeshadows as I like the creamy texture and light coverage - unless anyone can recommend a better one?

Arseit · 09/03/2020 21:15

@TheVanguardSix would Clarins Lisse Minute be good for fine lines under the eyes? I was thinking of Miracle Blur but your post has made me think again.

WineGetsMeThroughIt · 09/03/2020 21:18

After reading the rave reviews online, I tried a sample of the BFF from a friend who ordered it. I don't understand the hype. It's basically just a thick moisturising cream that actually made my skin feel kind of dry. I didn't understand the whole - it blends in with your own skin tone thing. It just rubbed in. And then looked like nothing. I used the sample, but ended up putting my regular foundation and powder over it each time because I still felt completely naked faced. Didn't notice any difference at all. I don't get the hype for these products. They seem very basic and I don't like the packaging. Reminds me of my old crafting days and the containers I used to keep my beads in

leli · 09/03/2020 21:42

I bought a complete set of Trinny London products, BFF cream, the miracle blur, the foundation, eye concealer, eye shadows, blush, lip, the lot. And I do think they are excellent and easy to apply. They are best for the polished but not very cosmeticised look. I am 60 and the products work really well for me. Except Miracle Blur, which didn't do anything for me and the anti-matte thingy, because I can't be bothered to use it. All the colours work beautifully together, I followed the online guidance and I look put together and better wearing the kit. But I suspect it's because I'm older and love the creamy, waxy products on older skin, I don't want to look like a heavily painted doll and I like the mode of application, fingers patting and dabbing on the face.

I just wish she'd bring out a fool proof mascara.

CorianderLord · 09/03/2020 22:04

My mum loved the miracle blur I got her

Pinkarsedfly · 09/03/2020 22:14

I love BFF cream - I’ve rebought it several times.

Also the eye concealer and just a touch.

Miracle Blur is crap.

WineGetsMeThroughIt · 09/03/2020 22:17

@Pinkarsedfly I'm curious why you love the BFF? How do you apply and wear it. Just wondering if I'm missing something with it??

olivehater · 09/03/2020 22:22

I love the bff. It’s just a really good tinted moisturiser with spf and gives a nice glow. I have repeat bought it loads. The bff eye I won’t repeat buy. It’s lovely on but it just doesn’t give enough coverage for a full make up look and it’s too expensive to use as daily concealer. You have to use loads And it’s a tiny pot. I like the flush blush, a nice creamy blusher if you you like cream blushers. I am still not sure on the lip to cheeks. They are nice on the cheeks but to drying on the lips for me but I do suffer from dry lips.

HarrySnotter · 09/03/2020 22:33

I like the eye shadows and I have two of the lip to cheek pots, one of which I ^love° and the other one is ok. I judge a product on how it suits me and not the packaging, I find that really odd tbh.
