I notice that Ethereal Rose is back and must've been for a while, I thoght it was discontinued.

Amazon have them on sale for £16.50. Be careful though as not all the colours are that price.

Yes I noticed that when about to purchase one and saw it was £20. I might have just bought some others at the £16.50 price though… It would be rude not to!

I always think Ethereal Rose looks lovely in the palette but it would be too pale for my skin tone, closer to a highlighter really.

I couldn't agree more, it's all the hype. I've ordered it back in the day on Q and returned.

This TSV looks to be "live" now.
I was all set to order it until I read the description properly. The lipstick is described as "metallic", so that me out.
I'm far too old to be wearing metallic lipstick.

I’ve bought the Sunlit Rose and Raspberry. I have a fair skin. I’ll probably pass on this TSV as I already have two balance and Brighten that I got from Amazon Prime Day and a large one I got from QVC. That should last me ages.

The price is slightly higher than I expected

A lot of beauty/makeup tsv’s were just under £40 for a long time but one by one they’re creeping over that psychological threshold. This one is pushing £50 inc postage. It's not for me but probably ok value if you will use everything

One of mine was Sunlit Rose. Well when they came today I decided to amalgamate with the 2 I had in a drawer and keep the combined stash in a small bag. I then moved some socks in the drawer and found another THREE blushers! So they are now in a slightly larger bag, .

I thought for a second ‘shall I’? Then no, the B&B which was a favourite years ago will now look too drying on my skin, eye shadows too dark & no to shimmer, eyeliner, never use etc.etc.Times change with age! p.s I am using the new formulation of the Bare Minerals foundation IMO much better than the original.

That’s interesting re BM foundation. I didn’t like the original, found it too cake-y. I must have another look.

It’s the Barepro 24 hour wear, Skin Perfecting Matte Liquid Foundation SPF 20. In the previous one I couldn’t get my colour anywhere, I was in a larger Boots & asked if it had been changed, it had, shades are different too.

I was tempted but now deided against buying, if it was under £40, then may be.

I have plenty of Balance and Brighten and just bought a couple of blush n brighten from Amazon Black Friday deals. Don’t use mascara or eyeliner very often although I do like her kajal liners. Don’t “do” a smoky eye either. If you use it all I suppose it’s not a bad price but once you add on the p&p it’s a bit too dear.

I rarely wear make up but I happened to see the TSV and to me all the models looked a bit orangey. I didn't like Nicola's make up at all, it seemed to accentuate lines around her eyes. If there was a brand that looked like you weren't wearing any make up but you did look better than wearing none I'd probably be buying like mad. Anyone know such a brand? Molton Brown used to look good on me but I never see it now.

I love her kajal pencils and just bought a set of mascara & kajal from the site llloyd posted. I was on this site for a couple of days now and every day they have a deal of the day. I used the 15% code CY15, there was also a 30% off code for the first purchase, but I couldn't get it work.

Have you seen the "Book" palette? It reminds me of the Beauty Books by It Cosmetics which they unfortunately don’t do any more. Looks nice imho.

have you looked and noticed on QVC how very little Laura Geller is listed. That's usually what happens when a brand will no longer be sold on QVC. I remember when you used to see at least two pages?

A lot of benefits to buying direct sometimes due to promoted percentage discounts.
