    I got a maybelline one a few months back to tide me over, from one of the pound shops. Good match colour wise, have a look when your next passing one mhoc

    That's a good idea, I am near a poundshop tomorrow - I don't think its one of the better ones though as it never seems to have the treasures that are on the MSE poundshop thread ...

    I think I might have some very ancient no 7 but it never really suited me ... wanders off to have another look ....

    MnS Sparks have given me £5 off womens jumpers, cheapest I can see is £12.50, so if you fancy making £5 or need a jumper/cardi check your accounts.
