i bought lumiere after loads of mn raving and hate it. too heavy, yellow base colour in the fairest shade (which is the one that was closest to me, but still looked rubbish. i have dry skin and am in 30s. i keep trying to find a posh foundation that i love, but none ever beat the max factor i started using when i was seventeen. will try the lancome one now tho'

swottybetty-ask for a sample

I got a voucher from Woman&Home(showing my age) for 7 day sample but it's massive.

Ggirl ~ You're not alone in enjoying a flick through Woman and Home magazine. I'm 35 and I'm no longer sure which magazine is aimed at me.

I miss Eve Magazine.

I like this foundation - ended up with a bit of a shiny forehead by the end of the day but it stood up to my sweaty walk to meeting and all day in a hot room without being as thick as estee lauder double wear light, but would still use that for heavier coverage!

LaurieScaryCake · 29/10/2009 21:16

I too miss Eve magazine

now I get Woman and Home, She, and Marie Claire delivered (and Livingetc)

I used to like New Woman too but that went along with Options.
