Clinique are selling Chubby Plump and Shine lip gloss for £9.50 in the small department store. I got one in Goliath Grape. It's very nice, I will put it on the daily lipstick thread.

That sounds very nice.

I’m really loving the compact foundation I bought. If I look like a tit in it, nobody has said, anyway.

I’m gradually working my way through my box of samples, and have just started a small tub of Kate Somerville Exfolikate Glow Moisturiser. It contains glycolic and lactic acid together, and I must say it’s very tingly, so one for night time use. I can tell the next morning that I’ve used it. It might be a slightly cheaper alternative to Good Genes (but still not cheap).

MrMcLip just remembered a John Lewis gift card he didn’t think he’d use so I’ve bought the Origins Ginzing tinted moisturiser for the summer.

Ooh this sounds very good, thank you. I have real problems with my skin as it gets very dry plus I have such curly hair causing ingrown hairs.

I really like TTDO. It really does get everything off.

It’s really good, isn’t it.

I’ve got the Pixi peach undereye corrector stuff and it’s good but it doesn’t go on as smoothly as I was hoping. Maybe I should mix it with something. I’ve also bought the Ordinary serum foundation to try and it is really lovely.

There are some Sleek fans on here aren't there? I have been sent their new pallette to review, Goodnight Sweetheart, which looks nice.

Because I’m a total sheep and will buy anything recommended by Hali Sughes, I’ve just taken delivery of some Vita Liberata Body Blur and a mitt with which to apply it :ella:. Make me flipping use it, somebody :)).

I got some Vita Liberata fake tan in a Tilli beauty box last year. It was amazing.

I bought the Origins Ginzing solely because she said it was good, and it is. She knows her shit.

It’s really easy to use, Ella. Just rub a bit onto your legs to start with.

I bought this some with Ndulge points and I’m impressed with it. Pale enough for my milk bottle skin and enough coverage that I don’t feel exposed with minor blemishes.

I’ve tried my new mascara with the 3D-printed wand, and I’m not blown away so far. I was in a bit of a bleary hurry this morning though :twitch:.

I see Clinique has discontinued the Flutter to Full Lash mascara that everybody loved :lol:. Slow handclap for cosmetics companies.

I tried out full to flutter the other week and loved it. Went to buy it in Boots and it had gone. Meh. I think it's available online though.

It's because it was unsafe, as it has something in it - plastic with a different name - which made it unsafe for washing off with water. Hopefully they will sort the formula out and reintroduce it a la Kevyn Aucoin. I'm going to try the Lash Power.
