I bought the Bare Minerals Christmas TSV in 2018. It was my first BM purchase ever. The original powder foundation my skin itch and burn terribly. The offending ingredient is probably the zinc bismuth. It's not an uncommon reaction apparently but never acknowledged by Bareminerals of course!
That doesn't sound right. Mine came in a large outer cardboard box and all the items plus the flat-packed smaller box were in the large L'Occitane gift box and bubble wrapped.
I last went to Gunwharf in May/June. The MB shop is still going strong but it's now next to the L'Occitane shop, opposite Boots. I think it's busier in there as a result.
I think they are completely different. The LE one is only supposed to be left on for a few minutes then wiped off with the expectation of immediate results. Prolagene is very gentle and is supposed to be left on. I found it helped scars heal over a period of months. I have to say I really...
I'd recommend spritzing your face with some toner first. I'd find it impossible to spread a few drops of oil over my face without having damp skin. I don't know why they never mention it?
I adore the skin nourishing shower creme and fragrance anyway so it was an easy decision for me. It's also really nicely presented for a Christmas pressie (for myself!)
It's interesting how many people are saying they're not keen on the exotic blooms fragrance - I can't wait to hear Keeley's...
Aaah, I honestly think most women look nice in cold shoulder tops whatever their size or age. I've never worn one because I have a scar on my arm I'd rather keep hidden.
