I'm also using and really liking it, purps. I also love the ribbon lip gloss, which was the other thing I bought.

I’ve also bought into the hype and got the Maybelline Colossal Curl mascara.

I bought the new Hourglass mascara today. I think it’s new? It’s called Unlocked: Instant Extensions Mascara, which is a bit of a mouthful. Seems good so far though.

I really like Goat Milk cleanser. It’s the only KS product I can get on with so I bought another cheap off eBay. I think there are quite a few bits of CH kits on sale there at the moment.

I’ve mostly stopped buying new products because I know what I like now, but I’m giving this Argireline a whirl because I’ve seen it recommended in a few places. It’s said to be very effective at freezing fine lines, a bit like Botox, and it’s only £5.50, so I thought it was worth a go. You apply it twice a day before other skincare.

That sounds good, Ella. I'm very tempted. I've liked everything I've tried from The Ordinary although I do find some things smell a bit funny. I think I say this about skincare prodcuts all the time though :ella:

Me too. And I’m going to walk past a shop on Friday that apparently has stock of it in…

I am thinking of spunking a load of cash on a Tata Harper moisturiser. I had a sample of it and loved it and scraped every last bit out of it. I keep thinking about it and my Moisture Surge is just not doing it for me. I don't like the silicone-ness of it. £104.00 though!!

I bought this too. It is very good.

Luna- if you loved it, it works for you and there’s nothing else comparable at a better price point then go for it.

I have Ella’s stuff from The Ordinary in my bag, and also go some .2 retinol and aha/bha peel too. Not sure when I can use any of it though because I had a facial on Saturday and am still a bit pink and peeling from that.

I bought some of this yesterday. Seems nice so far. Light coverage obviously, but I’ve barely worn makeup for a couple of months so it’s perfect for now.

I need to stop buying “miracle” foundations, but I got this Max Factor one today. Will report back.

I’m foundation obsessed as well :))

I’ve just ordered a Diego Della Palma one that was on offer in Marks.

To be fair, I had loads of compliments on my skin on Friday evening.

What’s yours, Luna?

It’s a soft matt one. Probably arriving tomorrow. I just want one that doesn’t disappear by lunch time if such a thing is possible..

I’ve bought this. I’ve been getting a wee bit spotty on my shoulders (I think it’s sweat/exercise related) so I’m hoping this helps.
