Ooh, an exciting day on the ‘girly stuff’ front today (those without lady bits look away now). First of all, my MAC Prep & Prime SPF50 came in the post (wehay! Something useful from Ebay for a change). This is, apparently, a godsend for those of us blessed with a forehead as shiny (and attracting about as much attention) as Kylie’s gold hotpants. I’ll be reporting shortly. The only thing I will say is that it’s bloody expensive for such a teeny little bottle so it better be good. Secondly, I’ve got to report back on all the lubly testers that the nice Clarins lady at the unfeasibly large shopping centre gave me.

Here goes then: firstly, I wasn’t particularly impressed with the Clarins Pore Minimizing Serum, which seemed a bit sticky and was the same unattractive sickly pale green as its packaging (not a patch on No 7 Protect & Perfect, which I’m convinced is the Elixir of Life). Mind you, I was so offended that she thought my pores needed minimising in the first place that this could have added to the bad impression. Next up was the Clarins Hydra Matte Lotion for combination skin, also in the new pale green packaging of their Multi Matte Range. Again, nice smell, but not moisturising enough for me. Maybe in the evening under make-up (if I ever go out again, don’t hold your breath, although I could trudge round the bottom field in wellies and full slap I suppose) when I don’t need the SPF of the MAC Prep & Prime? I definitely favoured the Clarins Moisture Quenching Hydra-Care Lotion from their Hydra Balance range. V impressed with this - nice smell, non-greasy and sank in easily. So there you have it. Sod all that wear on your feet, just let me do the testing, order online and Bob’s your auntie, the only thing Kylie-like about your appearance will be your cute, shine-free button nose. Possibly.
