Cocokay found it in Boots in Jervis though so they might have changed their mind, but they still don't do it in the Dundrum boots

Hope you manage to find it

Edit: I got mine in a relatively large branch of Mc Cabes pharmacy so maybe if you had one of those nearby that could be another possibility.

Yeah I noticed that earlier about Jervis! Although that one is pretty massive like. But there's a McCabe's in the Pavilions that's pretty big, and they have a special smashbox counter (:mad:) and a clinique counter so maybe they might have it in stock....

Another recent Estee Lauder Double wear covert here! I have oily, blemish prone skin and I find it fab. Flawless coverege, but does not make me break out. The tint was really well matched to my skin tone too.


As a larger pored lady can anyone give their two cents on primers that wont cause on oil slick on my face? (Or a giant gaping hole in my purse!)

Ooo I might check out the Estee Lauder, too, I really think the smashbox foundation made me break out! I'm 26 years of age! This shouldn't be happening! :mad::mad:

And disregarding what I said about smashbox just there, and that angry face earlier...their photofinish primer is great, and leaves a really soft feel to your face. It's not oily, like. It dries and feels almost silky like powder. I thiiiink it might be slightly on the dearer end of the scale though, but to be honest, I wouldn't go without it.

I have had trouble finding La Roche Posay in Boots before and someone told me that it was because Boots were unwilling to give them the support for their products that they wanted. They wanted to have people trained to give advice and such on the shop floor but Boots weren't into that or something.

A new Boots store just opened in Cork, and they stock it. It's quite a large branch though, I've never seen it in the smaller stores.

Yeah the primer is 38 euro, but it lasts for ages, and it's brilliant! It makes such a difference for me, I don't mind forking out the money. I don't have to buy it very often anyway so I'll get over the price:P

Do Stanstead now stock that BB foundation? I know I got some family member back in June to pick some up for me in Standstead and they were told Standstead don't stock that foundation

Greetings! I'm not sure if you got sorted or not, but I figured I'd get back to you anyway I was in Stansted yesterday. They do stock this foundation, but they didn't have it in the two whitest shades (alabaster and porcelain) which was useless for me. It cost £25. I cannae remember if they had the long lasting one as I was in a bit of a rush, but they definitely did stock at least 2 other liquid foundations.

all you have to do is spray with alcohol it wont ruin the product because alcohol evaporates. I got a bottle of isopropyl alcohol in my local chemist , i use it to press eyeshadows and pigments and disinfect cosmetics.
