Ordered the No7 beauty calendar today for 45 euro.. cant wait to start opening them doors!! I dont have any No7 products so this will be a nice starter kit for me. Sorry cant add any links as a newbie
Its on the boots website 
Got this too, it looks great. I kind of cheated and looked at the blog post online which gave a spoiler of what is in it, great selection of things. My sister got one too and she wants to just rip it all open now haha0 -

I'd choose your tan first and decide what to do with face makeup based on the colour/tone of the tan. When i use rimmel instant tan i find it has kind of a red tint to it and i use a powder bronzer from benefit that would match, but when i use a vichy body makeup for a bit of subtle colour its quite yellow based so i wouldnt use the bronzing powder I'd just use a yellow based foundation and a little blush
Thanks for that! I picked up the Cocoa Brown night and day tanner yesterday, need to do a patch test and can choose based on that, thanks for the logic 0 -

I've heard this is a gorgeous brown colour and not at all orange, but is a nightmare to get off, so much so they brought out a remover for it this is according to my sister cause I only ever use instant stuff 0 -

Haha good to know, I saw the remover stuff but didn't think I'd need it, maybe it would be smart to pick one up! Cheers!0 -

I absolutely love La Roche-Posay skincare. I moved to California a few months ago and LRP is not as freely available here at all and it is even more expensive than at home! I'm actually waiting on a delivery from a friend with some Effaclar Duo and Toleraine Riche in it! She asked me did I want anything from home, meaning sweets or chocolate and I was like, "Please just go to Boots for me!" Great skincare line.
It really is great fuss-free skincare, isn't it? My skin is drying up a bit coming into winter and all of my 'fashionable' skincare seems to be making my skin even more reactive. But I think LRP will sort me out
Actually, Escentual's worldwide delivery is only £4.95. You might be able to snap up something from their French Pharma sale before it ends today.

I bought the Too Faced Chocolate Bar earlier this week. Sweet divine jesus, it smells wonderful! A lovely chocolate scent that doesn't stay after you apply it, just lingers nicely when you open the palette.
I've only used it twice, but it's already overtaken the original Naked palette as my go-to makeup. It has more matte and less sparkle than the UD stuff, which works better for me in terms of being work appropriate and also not getting irritating little specks of glitter in my eyes. I'm going to play around with the darker colours soon to see how it transitions from day to night, but I have high hopes!

Jokettle that looks lovely, how much is it if you don't mind me asking?
I bought it in Italy and lost the receipt
But I definitely didn't pay over €50! The Debenhams website has it at €44 which sounds right to me, here's the link:

Makeup Revolution have an incredible dupe for this!
It's amazing so if the original is a bit pricy, this is definitely worth trying for £8!
http://www.makeuprevolutionstore.com/index.php/heartmakeup/eyes/i-makeup-i-heart-chocolate.html
Superdrug are 3 for 2 at the moment & if you spend £10 or more it's free shipping (just use Parcel Motel @ €3.95).
So you could get three fab palettes for £12 or £16 depending on what combination you go for, plus €3.95.
Their palettes are all outstanding & the dupes are within a shade of being as good as the originals (see what i did there!!).
I really should be on commission!!

I won this product during the summer and found it brilliant. Id put it on after a day where my skin felt dry or wind blown:
http://www.laroche-posay.co.uk/product-treatments/Nutritic-Intense/Nutritic-Intense-Moisturising-Cream-p8207.aspx
So I decided to buy a day cream from the same brand and bought the one below. Oh dear god never again I have sensitive skin but thought id be okay as their other cream was fine on me. I came out in huge blister like welt type spots on my chin within a day as I always do when allergic to something. Its been over three weeks and im only starting to get rid of the bloody red spots now my skin was horrific for the past two weeks I had to go back to using only the basics on it to calm it down. The annoying part is i had already patch tested on my hand and it as grand. Friend asked the pharmascist as she wanted to buy me another cream for my birthday and they reckoned the breakout might have been from the UV in the product?

Just wondering If anyone can recommend a good highlighter (cheek bones) I use to use high beam from benefit, was thinking about trying nyx one. Also heard of elf but it's hard to judge the colours on line. That and also some decent enough eyeshadows that aren't to pricey. Thanks in advance.
Makeup Revolution does three gorgeous baked highlighters (Peach, Pink, & Golden).
I have all three & cannot recommend them highly enough.
I also have several ELF ones & they are also very good.
I tend to reach for the MUR ones daily though.
The MUR single eyeshadows are £1 each & have excellent pigmentation.
However, their palettes are all amazing value for money at between £4 & £8 for the majority.
There is one 100 shadow palette for £10 which is also brilliant.
Superdrug has a special offer on a 144 shadow MUR palette at €16.50 (in Tallaght & Omni Park).
You'll find it in their gift set section.
I bought it (couldn't help myself!!) & it has gorgeous colours with fab payoff!0 -
A lot of great feedback on here for Makeup Revolution, I'm really tempted!
Just wondering though for anyone that has these products, are they made in China? Thanks!
Their products are developed in the UK, by Medichem International, but they are manufactured in China.
However, they are cruelty free - I checked when I first heard about them.
(They're not sold in China)
Definitely worth a punt, I doubt you will be disappointed!
Hope that helps!0 -

Thank you so much for answering my question, I really appreciate it
At those prices I was thinking alright they would be made in China.
I Definitely have my eye on a few bits, I think I shall be trying them out sober rather than later 0 -

No, only Omni have the MUR stand.
Tallaght just have a few gift sets from MUR.
They're listed on their website under 'Christmas gifts for her' in the makeup listing.
