DarrellRivers · 14/01/2010 15:30

Well, I suspect I had read it on some threads
I thought I knew better, had my mac foundation, felt on trend blah blah blah
(Had noticed skin looking drier however when put said foundation on)
Sample of vitalumiere in fash mag
Tried this morning, had bought my first pack by 130pm
It is so so so so good
Lovely colour, great coverage, and my skin feels and looks dewy
I am deliriously happy
(am going to keep my new visage a secret from my RL friends so I look dewier and younger than them-does that make me a bad bad person?)

What was the cheaper foundation on the other thread from last week? - Maybelline or Loreal or sommat?

Am SAHM and would like cheaper on for days of Tesco/soft play, and nice on for dates with Jose Muhrinio best?

Double Wear yellow as well, plus found it v difficult to put on as texture like PVA glue.

You lot don't know (or care ) how difficult it is to find pinky toned foundations.

GetOrfMoiLand · 14/01/2010 15:53

Ooh Jose Mourinho

I bought a book about Jose once from the Book People just because I fancy him. WAS HUGELY pissed off when it arrived as it had no pictures, and that's all I wanted (didn't actually want to read about portuguese football fgs).

Ronaldinhio · 14/01/2010 15:53

I bought the thick stuff from the chanel counter about 6 weeks ago in clair

I'd tried it previously and thought it nwas too yellow but actually it's totally amazing..and I'm a little pink blue in complextion

Ronaldinhio · 14/01/2010 15:54

goml
try chantecaille for the pink ladies v nice

skybluewinking · 14/01/2010 15:55

Jose, mmmmmmmmmmmmm,
moondog, only on day3, so not bored yet! 12 weeks to go.......

GetOrfMoiLand · 14/01/2010 15:55

Pink Blue? How can you be pink blue? Are you a cadaver in CSI?

slimyak · 14/01/2010 15:55

Ohh I need a recommendation now.

I have combination skin which is oilier for one week in every month.

ID minerals I like for oily times but have just run out and I agree with another thread that it makes you look a bit corpse like on dry skin days.

Had planned to have a go with the Chanel but now not sure. What do you think ladies?

Will it be the miricle I've been waiting for as it was with OP. I need to get it right as getting spliced during oily week next month!

GetOrfMoiLand · 14/01/2010 15:56

Ooh yes Chantecaiile - I did actually want that when I went into Space NK however the saleswoman said that Chantecaille was also too yellow. Will try again then (I like Chantecaille packaging v much).

like casper the friendly ghost but also a bit ruddy

skybluewinking · 14/01/2010 16:02

chantecaille also v expensive though. GOML, is not bunions, is arthritis, and agree re By Terry,have you tried the purple stick/pen thing? It is like a fat Touche eclat, that is brill, but too expensive for me while not working. (£45)

cocolepew · 14/01/2010 16:06

It's not nice, these woman are on Chanel's payroll. Don't listen to them.

Ooh, it is lush, although I stick to Estee Lauder Daywear plus for the summer months.
I have dry skin though - and I suppose more yellow in tone than pink.
Now please, please can anybody help me and recomment a really good cheapish (c.£10) tinted moisturiser for my ummm dryish yellow skin (sounds lovely does it not)?
Just an everyday sort of thing? I am using olay touch of moisturiser at the mo but it's rubbish as too pink/pale... any ideas?

MeAndMyMonkey · 14/01/2010 16:16

Olay touch of foundation I mean

GetOrfMoiLand · 14/01/2010 16:19

Sky blue - I don't know about the purple pen but I have got Touche velouté which is like a fat silvber touche eclat - it is better than touche eclat as it hides the dark circles rather than highlights them.

brimfull · 14/01/2010 16:20

I had a sample of l'oreal visible lift which i was impressed with, not really suitable for my oily t-zone but very nice if you have dryer skin I would say

MeAndMyMonkey · 14/01/2010 16:28

that sounds quite exciting ggirl, thank you - will give it a whirl.
I used to use Dr Hauschka tinted moisturiser and while I love their rose or quince day creams, this one just seemed to be a funny, thick texture and slightly putty coloured. I am obsessed by the perfect tinted moisturiser, always on a quest (as don't really wear foundation as such).

DarrellRivers · 14/01/2010 16:31

Oh I am pale to pinky, celtic colouring i think
Vitalumiere clair smooths out the pinkiness and leaves me looking pale and luminescent
Deffo good for the touch of dry of skin

I am lusting after the By Terry Rose moisturiser, but that was when I was first trimester crazy about roses.
Daren't go into Space NK, feel the need for some Darphin serum and moisturiser, which will set me back about £100.
Am keen to spend the dollars this year, and look tip top.
However, hate it when the bills come in

OP posts:
GetOrfMoiLand · 14/01/2010 16:35

I also love/hate going into Space NK as always buy such lovely things which set me back £££s.

Caudalie stuff my fave at the moment, as well as kiehls abyssine moisturiser which has really high SPF.

Space NK marvellous really, when i pay I always ask for a bagful of free samples, so have loads of goodies to play with for ages.

RolandButter · 14/01/2010 16:37

me and monkey - i liekd the BB tinted balm but no good for winter

MeAndMyMonkey · 14/01/2010 16:39

Caudalie is lovely too. I think it's a worthwhile investment to spend money on skin, esp in this weather. Vital(umiere) even

Ronaldinhio · 14/01/2010 16:39

I got the by terry continuous moisturiser in the spacenk sale after christmas
I'd had a sample and loved it but didn't want to speand on it.

MeAndMyMonkey · 14/01/2010 16:44

Roland (that just makes me think of Grange Hill!) - yes, I totally forgot about that BB balm - gorgeous stuff, almost smelt medicated but in a nice way?
Not sure why I stopped using it.. why no good for winter though?
