A big thank you to Cod! I am a convert

[squeaver]

to the church of Chanel. Got myself some Vitalumiere last week. Absolutely LOVE it. I'm not even really a foundation sort of person - usually use tinted moisturiser - but it is fab. So easy to use and I have actually had compliments..!

wow!!!! how funy
am really pleased.
i love the stuff.
i treid thenew lancome one but its not a patch on ol VL

May I just ask you two, which product in that range is it you'd recommend? ONly, there is a compact, a fluid in a pumpy thing, and a creme in a jar... I've been trying to find a good foundation, so thought i'd give it a go, if recommended by a couple of people

So, erm... which is it?

ok if oyu ahev DRY skin and want a sheen then vitalumiere - i haev the pump i think the compact is the same in essence

oily skin then the matt one

if its too ehavy in summer then just diilute iwht face cream

tell you what, cod, you should have a look at the paul and joe foundations. they're UNBELIEVABLY good imo.

LINK!

this is the one i'm using at the moment. goes on perfectly for spring/summer, feels very light but gives good coverage. (my skin's not great but i don't wear concealer with this).
apparently she went to Japan and just said 'give me your latest technology please' and i think you can feel that on your skin. i think it's £24 or something.

oh by the way i finally remembered to call my mate, she's going to speak to her clients but was positive.

do i knwo of what you speak?

do i knwo of what you speak?

you should, i promised to call her on your beautylicious behalf some time ago.

Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser LL. It is fabbo.

Estee Lauder daywear tint www.mistrys.co.uk/estee-lauder-daywear-plus-antioxidant-sheer-tint-spf15-p-813.html is lovely but a bit expensive (well, it is in real shops not in our lovely army shop - 16 euros!)

If not, I can send some over if you like (as a forces wife, you are actually entitled to shop in the army special cheap make-up shop - it's probably just a bit far to come )

I had Chanel VL, it is lovely, smells gorgeous and lasted me a year!

I now have a YSL which is meant employ the same technology as Touche Eclat - it is good, but doesnt wear as well as VL

Does anyone use those mineral powder foundations? They are meant to be less spot-inducing, I'm intrigued..

Make sure he does. It's SO worth it.

Oh God I miss the PX...

hehe i ued to go to them in the 80s in rheindahlen

It's probably still the same stuff on sale here Cod - I'll post a picture and you can meander down Memory Lane .

Tis marvellous stuff.

I bought mine not long after Cod when she started a thread about it.
I'd been searching for a really good foundation for ages and this one is perfect. I've tried them all too. Laura Mercier to Max Factor.
None of them a patch on VL.

In fact I bought it in April 2006 and I have to admit I was a bit dubious as to how long it would last and at £28 a pot I thought I would be skint from buying it all the time.

I still have the same pot now!
Admittedly I dont wear it all the time but 2 years is pretty good going I think.

sazisi i just got maybelline mineral foundation. love it!

if you've dry skin be careful not to pile it on or it will settle in lines. but after you get the hang of application it's great!

only ever bought one bottle of foundation before, never liked the feeling of it, but this one feels so light and blends well.

it's cheap compared to laura mercier, bobbi brown etc and it made my skin look really flawless. lasts for hours and hours.
