any tips?

Use a primer, let it dry in a bit then apply the SS with a sponge. The coverage is way better if you apply it by dabbing it on with a sponge, rather than using your fingers or a brush, I find.
I'd normally use a brush, but a guy in BT's at MAC told me to use a sponge for better and longer-lasting coverage.

I had the same problem with studio sculpt. The concealor especially. I find the studio finish much better.

How do you find the mineralise skinfinish? wonderful isn't it?!

honestly? not great. I've been using bare minerals for over two years and never find myself shiny or cakey but wanted something different for a change more coverage and better lasting power for going out or long days.

going to give the sponge a go and a different primer tomorrow. i've tried flash radiance skincare brush SYL which i assumed was a primer but i've a smashbox one i'll give a go tomorrow

Nappy rash cream! It's really dense, so put it on before you go to bed.

:O would that not seriously clog your pores??

spinandscribble · 13-01-2011 12:26AM

Well I tried primer, still very shiney but switched to bare minerals mineral veil in the afternoon to deal with it.

when returning stuff to asos do you have to pay for the postage? or do you just stick on the label they give you and pop it in the post box

squeakyduck · 13-01-2011 04:52PM

Does anyone know what shops in Dublin city centre would do nice full length dresses for about 100ish?

I wanna get a deadly floor length dress for my Christmas party at the end of the month! It's black tie!

I need some inspiration!

Oooh! Must check for these, thanks

Yeah, you have to pay. I think they'll refund the postage it if it's their fault that you have to send it back.

Have you looked in TK MAXX squeakyduck? I saw some lovely floor length dresses there.

Oh, I hate Penneys leggings. I only have one pair but y'know the seam on the bum of leggings? Well... mine ripped! And I don't have a big bum, I don't even have a bum! :pac: But yeah, there are stirrup leggings. I've no idea why I don't own any.

You hae to pay, which is one of the reasons Ive stopped buying clothes from the site.

Monsoon and then try the Coast and Karen Millen sales.

But only if its the whole order I think, I sent back a faulty item with 2 other returns and it wasn't refunded.

I got this and I'm not sure if I have anything to go with it! What do ye guys/gals think would be nice with it?

Pandoras Twist · 14-01-2011 02:29PM

Top 2 buttons open, white tshirt underneath, dark wash jeans and some dark brown boots. Preferably distressed worker style boots, the kind that All Saints do

This is exactly what I was planning to wear with it, my navy peacoat inclusive but I think but I want something a bit different. Like these: http://www.topman.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&langId=-1&storeId=12555&catalogId=33056&parent_category_rn=&categoryId=207138&productId=2214813

- I would love them, rolled up at the bottom and a nice brown shoe but unfortunately Limerick doesn't have a Topman (:mad:).

The first two are gorgeous! I'd go with the first - the patterned with frills at the front - but it's a tough choice

Twee. · 18-01-2011 01:25PM

Moved to Chatwalk.

Novella · 18-01-2011 02:28PM

I like the last two, and if I had to choose, I'd probably go with the middle one!

QueenOfLeon · 18-01-2011 04:39PM

I was eyeing up the middle one on asos before, I really like it! I think it'd look amazing with a waist belt

Twee. · 18-01-2011 07:23PM

Whenever I lend clothes to people I always tell them not to wash them, I'll do it myself. The one time I didn't tell someone, the silk shirt comes back machine washed, a button missing and the folds ironed in all wrong

Lame!

Chuchoter · 18-01-2011 10:36PM

Trying to decide whether I am insane or not, but I've seen these leather look jeans online. These are them

Have I lost my mind?

I like them - but they had a similar pair in Zara that was much more waxed cotton in reality. Can you see them in zoom to really get a look at the fabric?

Chuchoter · 18-01-2011 10:46PM

They are Zara but on ebay, what are they like in real life? I don't really mind if they are wax cotton, I just like the look of them in the photo :P!
Also, in what is 8-10 equivalent to in their normal xxs, xs, s way of sizing things?

Oh! They were less leather-look in real life, a bit stiffer - not quite as heavy looking as a wax jacket but a bit greasy... hard to explain!

Actually they have bloke ones on the Zara site, if you zoom in really close you can see what I mean - http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/fr/en/zara-W2010-s/11041/162014/WAXED%2BSKINNY%2BTROUSERS - though I think the ladies were slightly coarser, as in you could see more of the twill.

It's not that they weren't nice, but not as nice as the image you included, more obviously not leather.

akamossy · 19-01-2011 01:05AM

Anyone have any idea whether benefits her name is glowla back in stock anywhere?

Preferably in the cork area

pikachucheeks · 19-01-2011 02:22AM

Glowla was a limited edition for Christmas, as far as I know ...

Twee. · 19-01-2011 02:40AM

I put purple ribbons in my red shoes
