I love Bourjois's Rose D'or. The blush itself is soft, easy to apply and lasts as long as i want it to. The colour is really nice and has a very slight shimmer of gold with the soft pink, though I'm sure everyone suits a different colour.

I searched for an image and found out that it's the beauty awards winner, makes sense

salika: i bought mine from Boots, but a lot of pharamacies and supermarkets sell selections of make up, maybe you can find it there?

So I FINALLY found a make-up that is non-comedogenic [what my dermatologist recommended] and it's by Physicians Formula Talc-Free Mineral Wear, loose powder and blush. Yay. I put it on, looks good [cookies to my friend for helping me pick the right shades] so let's hope it doing wreak havoc on my face.

I dont think we have prescriptives in shops in the UK...(?)

Has anyone tried both MAC and Bobbi Brown? I've only tried mac, I want to know how BB is compared to it.

I have combination skin. I use Studio fix fluid, sometimes Studio Fix Compact thingy, and Select Sheer Powder or something like that. Mainly I have issues with the colours.

The textures are ok. If you wear moisturiser and primer under it, the powder's finishes dont stay too powdery. Though if you have really dry patces on overall combo/oily skin, it looks ugly when you use these things cuz the 'matte finish' just highlights your dry patches. Does Bobbi brown have stuff for combination skin with smoother/dewy/not powdery finishes? What are the colour range and coverages like?

I bought the Rose Ambre one yesterday. Have you noticed it's quite fragrant/perfumed?
