I tell you what might help with the dry patches, the Pai rosehip oil if you use it as a moisturiser or under your usual one if you are feeling particularly dry before bed. It's not cheap at £20 but at least it's free (and fast) p&p. It'll also last an age as you only need a couple of drops each night.

I saw it in a video Essie Button did not long ago and i thought i'd try it before sending mega bucks on Decleor and i really love it!. It pongs a bit but not noticeable after a few minutes. That and the Serozinc are probably my fave purchases

I can't even use my EH balm at the minute as it's turned to liquid oil in this heat.

I do think Mrs Hirons is pretty much full of shit and is a tool to encourage people to spend like crazy on things they normally wouldn't in the hope of a miracle for their face. I thought i'd giver some of her recommendations a go and though my skin isn't as dry I think that's more to do with stopping using Clinique's clarifying lotion & a change to a better moisturiser rather than one specific thing she recommends.

It's like a few weeks after the Pixiwoo videos I think it was Nic who was back to using her Oilatum moisturiser rather than the £70+ Zelens one Caroline had prescribed.
Loool so has mine! Or it did so I used up the liquid part and store it in my wardrobe so it doesn't melt anymore! Lool

I agree, with your comments on Mrs Hirons! Different things will work for diffferent people, what she prescribes may help some people, but may make others skin worse. We are all individual after all and we know that a foundation 1 person loves someone else will hate. I think she has some good ideas, but I certainly use some things that she doesn't recommend. As far as she makes everyone aware the only brand she is involved with is Zelens. Everything else is just stuff she likes even if it is PR samples. Products in my opinion can only do so much, some conditions are caused by diet, illness hormones or medication. I think people assuming that what she suggests will work and work instantly is wrong, in 99% of cases she only gets a couple of sentances describing peoples skin to go on, she can't see or touch, and therefore the prescription could be wrong because they are describing what they want caroline to here, or they can't see all the issues etc. The best thing is it encourages people to take better care of the skin they have and discourages people from using very harsh stripping products. I also agree, try an oil Peachtwist, there are loads of reasonable priced ones about, they make a massive difference to the skin, Pai, Suti, Triology etc all do good basic oils that will last ages!

that kind of makes me happy! :)
i think it's all about personal ritual and preference when it comes to skin care.

I asked around today and the Guerlain fall collection comes out on the 9th of August, and the Dior fall collection is on the 16th. I ended up booking in for makeovers at both counters on the launch days!

Thanks for the info, Gracie! Those are the two fall collections I'm really interested in myself. Also the Mac retro matte lipsticks and the lipliners. I think that collection only comes out in September though.

I'm not sure if the dates are usually universal between different department stores etc - I asked at Guerlain in Debenhams and Dior in Boots! I just want the blush from Guerlain and the two e/s palettes from Dior :)
What's on your wishlist?

I'm sure I was told that HoF are getting the Guerlain Autumn collection on the 1st of August exclusively - if that's the case most other counters usually will have the collection out or sell you a products but have no testers :)

Eek, I've just noticed that the Guerlain fall collection is up on the Debenhams website. I really want to order the blush and the 3 Rouge G's, but we're going away for 2 weeks on Saturday! What to do, what to do? Maybe the duty free at Gatwick will have them and I can save a bit of money, but I'm really afraid the blush will sell out. Argh!

Crazy!! I asked on live chat two days ago and they said nothing yet and to subscribe to newsletter!!
I had a live chat with an artist at 11am asking when the pressed piggies were coming out and she said there was no firm date yet, but to keep checking the site everyday at 2pm cos that's when it gets updated! I checked again at 13:50 and BOOM! New collections galore!

They always do that and annoy the hell out of me with the subscribe to the newsletter crap! Not that I care that much, I'll probably swatch the pigments at some point, but I'm not really fussed about any of the new collections.

Neither am I, they're the sort of collections to see and try in person. I like the makeup bags but I don't want to spend so much on a bag. I also like the illustrated sets but I have some of the products already so it isn't quite worth it for me! They told me to have a look next Wednesday as it was the beginning of August

Actually, just seen Temptalia's swatches of the new pressed pigments (except for Midnight which she hasn't got yet) and I really like 4 of them. But I'll wait for HoF or Debenhams to have them, I don't order from Mac unless it's an online Mac exclusive.

You just cost me £73!!! but saying that I haven't bought much lately and I sold some bits on Ebay last month!, I must sell some more this month now but I really wanted the blush and the Flirte Rouge G. I would like the other rouge G's too, but I am hoping I can pick them up from Heathrow when I go to the airport at the end of August. I won't be disappointed if they don't have them though as my airport wishlist needs culling slightly!

Also extyra £5 of beauty points on a £40 spend so I will be able to pick up a new clinique bottom lash with my points, but not sure the points are much help to those of you who can't get them converted quick enough!
