Ooh I used to use heaps of jurlique! I love the rose oil thing that you put in hot water and press onto your face with a washcloth.. can't remember what it's called but it's heavenly.
What are you wearing today?

Ohh I wouldn't recommend a long term use for the oil though. Cosmetic cleansing oils break down with water, whereas actual oil doesn't. My mum used normal oil to remove her makeups and now all her pores are blocked, requiring laser treatment.
Gosh, Mich, who were these girls in Myer Melbourne? I was sold NW20 concealer and today I found out it was totally a wrong shade for me. Doh. I wonder if I can go and return it, even I bought it last year

Nah the girl who sold me the Green cleanser was at Chadstone!!! That's why I was so unimpressed.. usually they're great :/
It's the same as how I was initially matched as NW when I'm an NC! But yesterday the girl who sold me the wrong cleanser matched me as NW25.. apparently when you tan you go more pink toned? lol!

Really? that's terrible!
I've had no trouble with it, the best my skin has ever been has been whilst using the oil cleansing method, but I cheat and use a 'proper' cleanser afterward.
But then breakouts aren't really a problem for me, just dry and flakiness with the super duper oily nose! I touched my nose before and I swear I heard a squelch!
BTW can anyone tell me what this smiley is supposed to be doing? it looks totally wrong..

Yeah, probably she didn't cleanse properly after 'oil'. I use Shu oil and cleanse afterwards, just in case! lol..

I'm NW in concealer because I have dark patches under my eyes and the MUA says its the right tone to use there.. but for the rest of my face coz I'm more yellow toned I use NC! But now that I've been going to solarium and as one of the MUA's put it.. "burning my skin", I suppose I look more pink and have to use NW all over? It's all so confusing. I'm using my NW20 Studio Sculpt for the moment and adding bronzer and it seems okay.

Two MUAs suggested that I should try F&B foundation, so I have it on today and surprisingly it is quite good! I don't think Leah gave me the correct shade though.. She gave me N3 and I can see orange stuff along my jawline! lol.

I'm the opposite shade for my concealer too. I'm an NW but I use a yellow based concealer under my eyes. The reason for that is because the colours under my eyes are purple and blue based and yellow neutralizes purple so it does a better job concealing the dark circles. It's the same principle if I want to cover red blemishes on my face, I'll mix a green concealer with my foundation and dab that because green neutralizes the red.
I always think of you Nat when I'm looking at the pink lippies
I've tried F & B before too and I didn't like it, it made me look really shiny but the MUA's rave about it!
Mich if you're both yellow and pink toned would an N suit you more than going for a straight NW or NC? You just have to go a darker N to match your shade.

It's all so confusing! I love F+B. I'm a C2 in that one hehehe! It's funny you say that Robyn about your blue/purple under eye circles - mine are probably blue/purple too but NC looks bad on it and NW totally covers it up??
I have pink blemishes so I should get me some green concealer!

I guess things work differently on different skintones though. Green concealer goes ashy on my skin!
I notice Green primer does nothing on my skin either, whereas blue works
Haha.. I haven't worn a bright pink lippy for awhile though, so it is more of Bibi thing
I have been having way too much fun playing with the eyes. Maybe I will play with Show Orchid tomorrow! Yay.. something to look forward to lol.
I like how F&B is lightweight!

Oh yeah it's different strokes for different folks, your underlying skin tone will effect this, yellow over purple is just a basic principle but on my skin because I'm so pale and more pink to nuetral I find a yellow based concealer works a treat. I guess it also depends on how dark the colours are, mine a reeeeeeealy dark and a pink base just doens't quite hide them enough.
