Here it is...

Mercury, I didn't realise there was a beauty section on MN (am too addicted to this thread) - will have a look there.

OWW, I'm thinking of you. I lost my mum a few years ago, and sometimes it's still very hard.

Velvet, my only involvement in weddings has been other people's too.

Snape, yes, I was thinking of going to one of the beauty counters, but just wasn't sure which one to choose. Perhaps I'll give Chanel a try, and hope people are feeling very generous when it's my birthday. I think I need to do something urgently, though - apparently the only question Mr C's DC asked after they'd met me yesterday was how old I was - am now worried they might think I'm a long-lost granny or something.

Aw Kin, is there any way you could move back up north if you're happier there?

I seem to remember my sister raving about Bourjois cosmetics - will investigate further.

Re grey hairs, it's just struck me that I've dyed my hair for years and years, and only stopped a few months ago. So in fact the grey hairs may have been there for years but I was blissfully unaware of them.

I don't have any grey hairs yet and am hoping it'll be a while yet as neither of my parents started to go greyish until late 50s and dad still hardly any.

Eyes however - my under eyes have always been very purple and tired-like, no matter what.

Yes DD, who is absolute font of all cosmetic knowledge says bourgeois very similar to Chanel. :)

Eeeeek t minus two hours till first date in 8 years!! Actually terrified! A d excited and nervous and butterflies and geek sick arrrrrrgghhhhh!!!

Feel sick - geek sick sounds revolting!!

I've dyed my hair since I was about 15, I'll stop when it's all silver:)

I do love Bourjois stuff, I get the least irritation with it (eyes are very sensitive)

Voice you lucky thing. I have the grey hairs and the under eye purpleness

Good luck with the dates today, look forward to an update.

Velvet, dreaming and thinking about him all day? You have it bad, girl . I still think about the recent ex constantly even though it's been two months. I was in deeper than I thought, I can usually pick myself up much quicker.

I only had to start dyeing my hair around 3 years a go, fortunately I haven't got many greys.

I found my first grey hair exactly a month before my 30th birthday. There's quite a few more now, but they get coloured regularly. I hate hate hate them. I lived with oily skin and spots throughout my teenage years and beyond, but I remember being told once that I would appreciate it later as oily skin tends not to age so quickly. That does seem to be paying off now, except for the days when I look in the mirror and see spots and wrinkles. Then I cry.

As you ladies seem to be in the know, how do I stop my eyeliner sliding down my face?

Kin that corner is probably a bit crowded , 'twas the power of alliteration override.

Libby I've always found SpaceNK reliable for finding what is right with a range of products. Again, the products can be very expensive so I tend to go for advice and just my base. I sometimes have osacea and find the drnicklowe range of moisturisers (in Boots) work without aggravating it.

Flipper I use gel eyeliner.. it's much more water/oil proof and doesn't slide off like kohl or eyeshadow. If I run out I use waterproof mascara with a fine brush dipped in it.

I am feeling much much better today btw. More like myself and ready to get back on with everything and RARRRR and all that. Lubes is back!

Juliette - .
I freakin' love Space NK but try to limit my exposure, otherwise I would be penniless but with fab-u-larse skin. The thought of Space NK has lifted my mood slightly - that's how shallow I am.

Flipper, one of the best eyeliners I've ever used is Avon Supershock, and it's dead cheap. More expensive are Urban Decay 24/7 - they go nowhere once on.

Excellent news, Lubey, x

oww I am so happy your talk went ok, I knew it was going to be though. I felt it in me bones.

choo Glad you had a good first date.

kirstywirsty yay for new house christening

Love is really in the air on this thread...

So, I probably wont start properly dating for quite a while yet as I want to get my head in the right place first. So, I will continue to live through all of you. Although I have been thinking about the age of the man I want to date in the fure . I am 26, and have always gone out with older men (soon-to-be-ex is 39) There is no way in hell I could go out with someone 21 years old, I would feel like their big sister . I need to pick a maximum age range and stick to it I think.
