I bought Gosh CC cream yesterday and I must say I am in love with it. I was a bit dubious about BB/CC creams because my skin greases up real easy but guess there is something behind all the hype

I've never used MSE's deals before but this one was posted somewhere else I use and I thought it might be of interest to some people;
£100 worth of E.L.F. make-up for £28!

My favourite makeup tip is to heat up your lash curler with a blow dryer. Honestly, keeps my lashes curled all day.

I really need a new foundation, I've caught the sun a lot recently and my current one is a good shade or two too light. Totally tempted to have a bit of a splurge on something different (Chanel, maybe?) or try out some CC creams that everyone seems to be loving at the moment.

I got a sample of Chanel Perfection Lumiere and it was gorgeous! Really nice light application but it still have good coverage. I keep considering buying it myself. Maybe you should wait until you're back to your usual colour though because you'll be getting paler as you're still using the foundation and then it might end up too dark for you.

Oo, awesome :D sounds lovely. I did think about the whole tan fading thing, but I think I might start fake tanning because I kinda like the new, slightly golden skinned me compared to my usual complexion where finding foundation light enough is a serious bloody struggle :tongue:

I know how you feel haha, I have to use one of the palest shades of the foundation I use! It's my birthday in a few months so I might go to the Chanel counter and get colour tested and get my perfect foundation as a treat :)

Has anyone done sugar skull make up before? I'm thinking of doing it for Halloween. Watched a few tutorials on youtube this morning and I reckon I could do it. I managed to do the Zombie Boy one for when I went to Lady Gaga and I think that was probably more complicated. Just wondering if anyone has done it and has any pictures of the results?

^Georgie on here did an ahmazing sugar skull full face paint. I know there are some pics on her fb, but I think she comes on here slightly sporadically.
