Sorry. Have I missed something as I’m not sure what you mean. Can you expand a bit (in case it puts me off as well)

I would assume it is with regards to things that have been in the news the last couple if days. As Lynn says best not to go into it.

Still none the wiser but no matter because almost all of LG and Tarte are made in China anyway! And LG & Mally are owned the same company - AS Beauty (but Mally does retain a small percentage). This no doubt explains why the Balance & Brighten now resembles an explosion of talcum powder every time you sweep a brush over it. I reckon it’ll soon be 95% talc! My bugbear. Absolutely no need at all to use Talc - just makes it cheap as cheap to manufacture.

I haven't used Balance n Brighten/Glow for around a decade now, I take it the talc content has increased since then?

 

[Toril]

I bought balance & glow and balance & brighten a few months ago. I still wear it daily and, to be honest, haven’t noticed that it’s more “talcy” than in the past. I only brush it quickly across my face though, rather than buffing it on like the models do in the shows, so maybe any increased talc content doesn’t show up with a very thin layer.

I think it’s all Talc. As I said in a previous post I used B&B right at the very beginning when there was just one shade (& I was busy damaging my skin in the sun) and it was exactly what they said it was a creamy liquid baked into a solid block. It felt beautiful on my dry skin and there was a very slight glow to it and the coverage was unbelievable. No matter how many times you put the brush on it, you never got a cloud of dust flying everywhere. This all changed when they sold the company to AS. Last time I bought it, I couldn’t get any product onto the brush although I managed to get it everywhere else! Nowadays all you get is talc dust, zero coverage and a face looking and feeling more parched than the Sahara! It’s time QVC were more transparent and honest about these brands and their ownership.

I have read on QVC US that most now just use it as a finishing powder, a quick swipe over the face.

The top or one of the top ingredients is talc.

 

[Battiola73]

I use balance and brighten every day for around 15 years. I apply it lightly and then use a setting powder (Maybelline) followed by blush and brighten, I haven’t noticed it being any more talcy.

Probably give this TSV a miss as I find balance and glow is too shiny and glittery for me.

When Laura says it's creamy, I can't believe how blatantly she stands there and lies to the thousands of us. Тhe new emperor’s clothes. I have never tried the original creamy one, but I've been buying the bnb since around 2010 and it always dried my skin. Does anyone remember the year Laura started at qvcuk?

I was in USA when she had her very first show on QVC. She was then, as she is now, very likeable. I have used her 'baked' blush for many years now. It lasts a long time, but the case it's in always falls apart. I've never used any of her other products.

I agree. I much prefer Balance & Brighten

 

[misiuszka]

I've got opened B&B that I've had for years - use it on and off and it doesn't seem to go off. I can't imagine it ever running out!

 

[Silver Fox]

I loved B&B years back and when passing though New York went to her shop to buy a small version to use when travelling.I did meet Laura, Alison & Will there as they were doing some filming.They we’re all very nice and friendly & I said they should do a duo of B&B, full & smaller size.That appeared on QVC some time later.Not taking any credit for that! Never use it now mainly down to the reviews.
