Hi
Got my Lily Lolo samples today, so far all I can say is I'm glad I didn't buy the full size items as the colours look awful!
I have 4 little plastic bags of blusher and eyeshadow and I'm not keen on 3 of the colours, maybe they will go on better. The Cheeky Cheeky blush is described as a pinky peach but it looks more orange and the Doll Face Blush looks very light.
Also how do you use them from the bags? I'm scared that as soon as I open the bag, the fine powder is going to puff everywhere!
Wow aren't the samples of foundation tiny? I know they were only 99p each but again how do you get your brush into that? I guess I have to tip a bit out onto a plate or something?
Any tips?
Thanks
Sarah |

I use a regular eyeshadow brush, tap the bag, open it and take up a little of the powder from the side of the bag. No need to dip in the powder.
For the foundation either get a fluffy sponge and do the same as above. My other samples are in little pots so if I'm using a brush a tap a little in the lid.
I have the cheeky and it is a matte peachy colour on me, I just got the Waikiki which is lighter but has a shimmer and it almost looks yellow/peach till it's blended. On me it's very natural.
They are tiny but you don't need a lot.
Hope that helps a little. |

| I have an empty tin from a trial set of Dr.H and I tip my foundation out into that. I know the pots look small but you really only need a small amount, mine's lasted 2-3 weeks now and I've still got a lot left. I agree it's hard to find a colour match on line. I ordered three colours of foundation and the one that I didn't think would really be my shade was a perfect match. I haven't used the shadows yet but when I do I guess I'll tip them out onto a tissue and dip a brush in. I'm really impressed with this range! |

| Use a piece of paper for my pure luxe samples. Dump a lil powder out, swirl, fold the paper in half and pour the leftovers back in |

Nope I can't get on with the Lily Lolo samples, I don't like the coverage of the foundation... so, is there anyone in the UK that wants these samples as I won't be using them?
I have only tipped a little out of each to use so they haven't been touched by human hands. Will post for free to anyone (UK) that wants them. PM me.

| Sorry to hear that Sarah. I won't jump in and ask as I've already got some but I'm sure some lucky lady in the UK would be happy to take them off your hands. |
