Laura Geller TSV - Wednesday 29th February 2012

[BusyLizzie]

Anyone interested in selling the bag from this TSV if they don't want it? I'd like it for a little gift but didn't buy because I didn't want the make-up! Could you please pm me if you want to sell - thanks.

I resisted the TSV - firstly the hoo-haa over is it / isn't SPF15 and then the disapointment the the blusher was not pink grapefruit. I just could not justify the cost for the BnB, which is the only item I really wanted.

However, today ordered the supersize bronzer in the fair (with that lovely looking brush), as LG mentioned several times that it was similar in colour to the BnB in medium. I just hope I get a good one, and not one with too much brown/pink. Even if it is a dud, I can mix it with my usual BnB.

Oooh, I do love a bargain, and at 24g, this is a real whopper.

I also just ordered the EH 200ml balm, and a set of cloths.

After spending nearly £100 on 3 products, I am going to sit on my hands all month, and be v. frugal :angel:

My LG TSV arrived today and what a disappointment. I thought the eyeshadows looked a bit dodgy when I looked at the photo on the QVC website, but in real life the colours are soooooo '80s. Pink and blue eyeshadow. And the Berry blush is far too dark. Anyway, PLAN A was to like it all and keep it. PLan B was to keep the BnB and Spackle and flog the rest on Ebay and make half the TSV price back. Looks like I'm opting for Plan B and the eyeshadow, eye spackle, blush and bag have hit Ebay.

i already had the eyeshadow and managed to find it at the back of the makeup drawer and have a play with it today. i agree the colours look very 80's but mine is actually quite nice on. the pink is very dark and looks more purple-ish, the darker bits in the blue are excellent as eye-liner.
the main problem i have with some LG eye shadows is the glitter content. awkward as hell to apply without getting a shed load of glitter on ur cheek

I just wanted to say that I much prefer the new SPF BB due to a diluted beige colour that was a bit too beige for my skin.
I hope that LG still continues to sell the non-spf BB for people who love it but on Q website most of the options show as sold out and not availiable on wait list.

I didn't realise the fair bronze n brighten could be a replacement for BnB. Must remember that. It does tick me off that you often can't get the BnB on it's own. I didn't buy the TSV as I really only wanted the bag and the BnB but as usual the BnB was sold out in a flash so I bought the BnB and ethereal rose split pan as I've been wanting to try the ethereal rose for a while. I like BnB for ease of use but find it a bit too matte and prefer the finish of BE. As an olive skinned baby I'm hoping using the ethereal rose will give me the glow I want. We shall see!

Theres no LG TSV on the TV guide until 1st July so far, it's been a while now since the last one on 29th February -
4 months (29th Feb - 1st July).
Do we get LG TSVs every four months? I thought it was like every two-three months.

I am sure laura and a couple of presenters said on the last TSV that there wouldnt be another TSV including BNB until the end of the year,ie stock up on this one today. QVC USA had one a while ago that included a big body frosting instead so maybe we will get that one in july or august. Cant be bothered with that sort of product so that kit wouldnt interest me.

 

[Weathergirl]

Me neither. I have my make up sorted for the next few months now.

 

[Tinkerbelle]

Now see that's what gets on my pip! I do like B&B but you can't buy the bliddy stuff other than in a TSV and that's rubbish. I don't want all that other gubbins! I just want the B&B.

I've tried the SPF one and the colour is much deeper/darker. It'll be fine for me in the summer. I've tried the one that's half B&B and ethereal Rose which is fine but it's a bit pink on my olive skin.

I love the convenience of B&B for busy days but I won't be forced into buying humpty dumpty eyeshadows, blushers and lippies. And a gallon of spackle every time I need a foundation.

I know I can buy the foundation from eBay but honestly I'd really rather not.

What shade are you Tink?

The Bronze n Brighten is so NOT a bronzer, I have the fair and pretty much use all over the face.

Also if there are any "old" TSV kits including full size B n B in your shade, buy it, keep what you want and ebay the rest. It means the stuff you keep is a helluva lot cheaper, and the stuff sells.

The Bake sale collection is available in medium, the vanilla nudes in Tan.

 

[Tinkerbelle]

I'm medium in B&B in the winter but would probably be tan in the summer. I might be tempted by the bronzer if I knew it was good on an olive skin. I don't have any bronze to my natural tan at all so on the whole bronzers never look right. And neither does fake tan come to that.

I'm dark skinned like Julia but my skin is more ... erm ... olive. Julia goes a nice golden tan. I don't.

Yes, they said it and I understood that the next TSV will be without the B&B, and the body frosting would be nice to get in the beginning of the summer, just like the Ultrasun for the summer months, not at the end or the middle of summer. Is anyone following Laura on Facebook?
