I don't do expensive products but love Oil of Olay moisturiser as unlike most moisturisers I don't react badly to it. Currently using some kind of coco body butter stuff and it is highly appealing to Westies - pal's dog spent every opportunity licking my legs on Saturday, was wishing I hadn't worn a skirt...Mortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Despite it being the UK's No. 1 beauty product, I'd never heard of YSL's Touch Éclat before but it has some rave reviews :T
I was blessed with an even skin tone and I very rarely wear make-up
My make-up bag contains:
Bare Minerals foundation, mineral veil and blusher
A brown eye pencil
Colourless mascara
Clinique almost lipstick in black honey
Cargo Plant Love lip gloss in carnation
I used to be a bit more adventurous when it came to cosmetics... I wore YSL bright red lippy on my wedding day because it colour-coordinated with Mr MWC's kilt :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

I do like bare minerals, although I tend to wear tinted moisturiser rather than foundation, as I have olive skin and can never quite get the right shade.
I really like Clinique also, however apart from mascara, I've not bought make up for ages as (luckily!!) it seems to last....February13 - £74990 (or thereabouts)

Fab news MWC:T:T:T
I have sent another email to the local guy to collect bed frame. He had initially emailed to pick up last Thursday and I provided my address and mobile number...however not a word back from him. I hope he's okay...
The wardrobe guy has a Yorkshire address, so I appreciate that logistics will prove slightly more difficult. I also provided address and mobile. I don't want to hassle the buyers however they've both paid and I would be happier knowing that THEY were happy with the items :cool:February13 - £74990 (or thereabouts)

The ottoman (on the landing)
The wall sticker (to the right of the ottoman)
The wallpaper in front of you as you start going up the stairs (u-shaped stairs so when you turn 180 and the wallpaper is behind you the wall sticker is in front of you on the left - does that make sense? :rotfl:)
The decorators are coming to hang the wallpaper on Wednesday
I'm on the lookout for some bright yellow accessories now - particularly a large plant pot... easier said than doneMortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000
