I’ve been in two Space NK’s this week. The one in Covent Garden and one in the Arndale centre. And in both, I felt I couldn’t see the colours of the lipsticks I was swatching because the lighting in them was an orange tone.

I’m seeking a beautiful true rosy pink with a blue base and both times I’ve been unsure, walked out and even though Covent Garden has you outside and the Arndale Centre has you inside, immediately the swatches on my hand change hue.

The lighting in Superdrug is more helpful!

I was thinking it was odd that LE Rose Official was so warm.

Has anyone else found this?

I think I need a yellow one. The one I ordered from Amazon is dry because it's discontinued and old 😶

Please give me your best silicone-based primer recommendations! I am yet another victim of the Double Wear reformulation. Before the reformulation I could more or less use any primer as DW was doing the heavy lifting re longevity.

I’ve now found my best replacement, Teint Idole Ultra. BUT! I put it on today for work calls at home (admittedly with no primer) and went to wash my face just now and barely any make up came off. A day of just moving between my office, kitchen and bathroom and it evaporated off my face!

I’m thinking that with a good primer and setting spray (I’m good on the setting spray) I can help the longevity.

However, I’ve tried a few primers I’m not that impressed with. Benefit pore filler is insanely expensive but doesn’t spread cleanly across your face and is prone to pilling. I’ve tried a couple of the Elf sticky ones. They’re ok but I hate that sticky feeling. I’d put up with it though if that’s the best recommendation!

Does anyone have any recommendations? It would have to be silicone based as that’s what Teint Idole is. Thank you beauties!

Rewatching last night's traitors and it's tricky to tell the colour against that golden orange glow!

As the title suggests, I’m looking for a powder bronzer that gives a bit of glow but has no glitter in it. I was using the Made by Mitchel bronze pod but the glitter particles are just not it for me!!

Please send over some recommendations or suggestions ❤️

Hi everyone, can anyone recommend a truly transfer proof strong red lipstick. I’ve heard good things about the kiko 2-1 lipstick but it isn’t available in the colour I’m looking for. I’m mainly looking for a strong red but could settle for a dark pink or burgundy it’s for a Halloween costume. Mainly looking for drugstore. Thanks!

Hi guys, wondered if you could help me. I loved Nigella Lawson's eyeshadow in the second episode of the latest series of bake off! I can't for the life of me get a screenshot of her wearing it - whenever I pause my channel 4 app I get a still of an advert - but it was great a blue/bright/opal type mauve rather than a more smoky brown shade and it was really pretty. If anyone has seen this episode and can help would love your recs! Can't find anything about it online.

I’ve seen so many posts on the new YSL holiday cheek palette but haven’t seen it anywhere in the UK??? Is it not being released here? 🫩

Hello everyone! I’ve been in a Lisa Eldridge kick and have been binge-watching product reviews since her Marilyn collection!

I decided to bite the bullet and order a few things. I really want to try the foundation and skin tint since I’ve been seeing great reviews but I know it’s dropped a couple of years ago and makeup technology is ever changing!

My dilemma is that I was told by her awesome customer service and that my shades for the foundation are around: 17,18, 19 and for the tint its around 9,10,11.

I have asked for samples but I wanted to see if anyone who wears NARS Vanuatu in the Radiant Longwear has found their shade match? I really wanted to place an order before her butterfly light highlighter sells out again lol

Any reviews or advice is welcomed! Thank you!!
