Just seen this on ebay, I have used this seller and she is fab. Might be worth watching if you are after one.

Thanks Flourgirl, i was watching it already

I took the plunge and brought a Sizzix Sidekick for the grand total of £4!!! :eek: I think this is cheap especially as it has 5 dies with it!! AND 3 of them are christmas ones!! Have i got a bargain?? i took the plung cos it was so cheap and i thought if i don't use it i can sell it on

I still want something like a Bigshot though lol

I would like to start a little disscussion if you all don't mind. Which Promarkers (colours) could you not live without? And which colours do you use for skin tones and hair?

The reason i am asking is because i always use Dusky pink for skin with pastel pink for cheeks and either Caramel, Cocoa or Gold (not metalic) for hair. I rarely use my blacks :cool:

kms - I use tan as a shadow on skin and then blush all over with I think pastel peach on cheeks. Hair cocoa and a lighter shade, or Gold/ivory for blondes ( I think?? - its difficult typing the colours when I am not using them..does that make sense??)

I know what you mean, i printed out a promarker chart that tomsmom posted somewhere :cool: (sorry i can't find where may have been on Irip's b**g) and i think it is great to compare the colours, but it has made me see i have alot of similar colours, so i thought i would get some single ones definately need another yellowish one, but am still undecided on the others, there are so many!!

Found it!! http://promarkerworkshops.blogspot.com/

For brown hair I use, caramel and vanilla and sometimes sandstone too
For black hair I use ice grey 1 - 5 and blend them in

Thanks Drangonllew I will try your colour combo next time I do blonde hair
