    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...

    I never, ever buy cheap mascara.

    I'm the opposite Natty - I buy £1.99 colourless mascara from Morrisons!

    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 :D

    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:

    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....

    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:

  • 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 :D

    I'm on the lookout for some bright yellow accessories now - particularly a large plant pot... easier said than done :(
