Uck, I have a veneered front tooth that I loathe, it's not the same colour as the rest of my teeth at all I broke the tooth going face first into a school playground and then had to have a root canal on it a few years ago. Fun eh?

I cannot do makeup. I either look like I'm wearing none, or I look like a clown. Bah.

Yeah, if/when I go for veneers I'll have both front teeth done I think, to match.

My make up is pretty much always the same Mineral powder foundation, and gold (sometimes blue, sometimes both) eyeshadow, and mascara. Foundation is Rimmel at the moment and everything else is Korres. Wear lots of lip gloss I've got loads of bits in different colours, especially eyeshadow, but seem to be stuck in a rut!

That's better than me! My makeup routine is either nothing at all, or a bit of concealer, a bit of MAC powder blush to stop me looking so dead, mascara and eyeliner. Proper eyemakeup looks odd with glasses

MAC blushers stop me looking dead too haha!

I wear glasses too so yeah I don't normally do much with my eyes. I have been known to go for full-on smokey or glittery eyes for going out though

I didn't really mean bold..i do tht with clothes anyway so agree with lost that it could look OTT...
I guess i meant more than just a quick mascara / foundation on the way to wrok lol

I see Next as a grown up shop. There's a Next clearance near work which isn't too bad but I find even that a bit staid and overpriced for my liking.

Me too!!! I don't know what it is about Next but I definitely see it as too 'old/mumsy' for me... I own nothing at all from Next.

Tara, I have a mirror very, very like that in storage, and two matching little corner mirrors with shelves...the corner ones have some broken glass, and because its the original glass (they are original Italian glitz ) we don't want them too repaired till we can afford to get a really good replacement, not flat mass produced glass mirror. When we had them up we improvised with some tin foil!

LOL, you are so clever!!! Bet you can't wait to get all your lovely things out of storage and display them properly. Any progress on the house buying project?

I'm impressed you can do foundation in the car Char! I still have a big streak of concealer on the roof of my car after an unfortunate putting makeup on at traffic lights incident.

I think of Next as a bit old too, although I suppose I am the right sort of age for it really (still in denial about being 30 here!).

On the make-up front, I can't remember the last time I wore lipstick, but just came across a photo of myself with some on and it looks quite nice - can't remember which one I had on though :rotfl:

I find it all very mumsy or very boring office wear.

What do I own from Next? Hmmm, two cardis (both gorgeous but both now far too big) and a pair of grey herringbone tweed heels that I love but just can't wear. Anyone a size 6?

No, but I could wear reaaaally thick socks with them :rotfl:

Totally agree on the boring office wear!!
