Will buy myself a big bottle of one of the pink ones when I run out. I apply this under my make up or under by garnier bB cream and it makes a big difference

could you pm me details of seller? thanks )

I've just ordered this, and I am disproportionately excited to get it and try it out!



40.50 from Debenhams.ie

Few bits I've bought!

Revlon primer, got one in to review and instantly fell in love with it so had to get another in case it runs out, amazing for pores!!!!


Also got in some lip butters and just bittens so picked a few more up in Boots:


Old reliable just ordered off ebay


New (hopefully reliable) I just ordered off Ebay, Want to try this cause it offers different shades so trying the lightest!


Also order Colourstay in lightest shade for dry skin cause I like to mix in foundations with my bb cream


Also picked up some great free scents after recommendations from other boardsies!

Got Essence Walk in a Summer Rain and Next Just pink (wrapped in love) which is even nicer than the normal Just Pink but can't find a pic of it yet!

SmokeyEyes, I hope you don't mind me asking but I noticed that it says "Whitening" on that BB cream, do you think it really is whitening? I'd love to try it but I'm not very pale so I definitely wouldn't need it to be whitening.

I'm pale too, haven't found is makes me whiter at all although you're right the Asian BB Creams often have ingredients for it! Think you're safe though I've been using mine for ages

I know, it's the business, everything else flakes on my face apart from BB Cream! On holidays if we were heading out in evening I could apply more of it OVER my already made up face with powder and it wouldn't clump or look obvious in the slightest, just looked glowly and refreshed! Miracle stuff!

Alainnbeauty I'm really sorry - I deleted my bought items from my eBay app and then realised of course that I don't know who I've bought from (yes I'm that dim sometimes!!)

I just searched eBay for skin79 though on the app and went for a good price with good feedback. Smokey eyes might be able to recommend you a seller

Incredible results

Hi girls! I got a fantastic gift from my friend a couple of months ago. It's a fish collagen gel for face; after two months of using it my skin is smooth and delicate like silk, colour is even and I feel that it's perfectly moisturised I'm so fascinated I just had to share. I'm afraid you can't buy it in shops though...

Got my mini sample set of the Skin79 BB creams this morning. Put one on and my mam told me my skin looked amazing! It really looks like I have no makeup on and that I just have great skin! They really are awesome. I bought off Ideaseller-kr on SmokeyEyes' advice and I'd say it only took a week to arrive from Korea. Well worth it!

I tried the Gold Skin 79 BB cream and didn't like it at all It just didn't seem to absorb properly and then went all flakey Maybe I got a dud as everyone seems to rave about it or maybe it isn't suitable for my skin.

Had €40 in Debenhams vouchers from the Living social (or whatever voucher site!) deals and was going to get the new Urban decay foundation but then I saw that Clarins had a promotion on so I got Everlasting foundation and Instant smooth primer instead. Have used the primer before and found it good and tried a sample of the foundation last year and it was nice on.

One of the free gifts in the set I chose was 15ml of the Hydraquench serum, 30ml would set you back €53.89 on debenhams.ie so to get it as a freebie is good. The other things in the set I got (there was a choice of 4) were hydraquench cream(15ml) Foot Beauty Cream (30ml) and Instant light Lip perfector in a nice(ish) bag!

Charles Worthington shampoos and conditioners are two for €8 in Boots at the moment. Have always found them to be very good quality. I picked up a clarifying shampoo and conditioner from the Front Row "Prep" range, felt my hair needs a good aul scrub! Looking forward to washing my hair tomorrow, how sad is that
