Hi YG, if I can share...
I recently went for one of my very rare 'taking care of my face' sessions and the facial scrub had mould in it. I think I bought it when I was at University (am now 35 ). Also, my face powder was a hand-me-down from my older sister when she was about 15. Maybe I need to follow this thread...

People have recommended this before on here - although it's described as a foundation, it really is very light. I tried some on and decided it was a bit too light (coverage-wise) for me, so have gone for this , which has a bit more coverage, and is a bit more matte finish. Liking it so far (though only bought it at the weekend).

hey yg glad you are feeeling up to make up

you have dry skin?

Oh yes, and bought some other stuff in Boots just before buying this, and they gave me a voucher for £5 off No 7 products, which made the foundation half price.

this site sells cheap cosmetics and delivers free
buycosmetics

Some Clinique ones Isuperbalanced I think) are quite light but still feel nice.

I have something called no.7 stay perfect foundation (it's probably really old so you might need to check they still make it) - it is really really light. I don't often wear full make-up because my skin just hates it all.

re the eye stuff - just day to day, I do tend to put mascara and eye-liner on but I only bother with eye shadow (if at all) if I'm off out somewhere nice. I do quite like trying on lots of lippy because I still feel my perfect shade has yet to be discovered.

maybe you could try someone in a bigger Boots store or at the Body Shop? they tend to be more approachable (but you may not have as big a choice of products)

actually, you know what yorkie, I'm possibly the worst person possible to advise on make-up! Have just read my lippy bit back and realise it sounds quite pretentious ('my perfect shade' !) - I just find most lipstick is either too pink, too orange or too red for my liking!!

I always wonder where to go too when the women are too orange

had bad experience a year ago with a woman (who I knew from a playgroup ) telling me that if I persisted with this shade I wanted (which wasn't orange) I would be 'Mrs Peaky Very Peaky'

I think that the no7 intellingent (have had to much vino to check spelling) is the best and i'm a fairly anti make up person iykwim

Boots No7 Radiant Glow foundation is really nice, and if there is a £5 voucher thingy on at the moment it will be almost half price... £6 instead of £12

I know what you mean about the 'counter girls', YG. I always try to pick one I like the look of and body swerve the scariest looking ones.
