Did I get the wrong end of the stick ??

I thought you wanted to know what sort of stuff we all used ??

Really Cod sometimes your inability to type and the confusion it causes, is infuriating.

Best Mascara is 2000 calorie by Max Factor I think. I used to wear More Than Mascara by Estee Lauder but it suddenly started smudging, I think they changed the formula. I've just started wearing a Chanel foundation (can't remember what it's called but feel sure lumiere is in the name!) and it's good I think. I changed when I realised I'd been wearing the same foundation for 15 years! (Clinique balanced make up base in 01, Ivory)

I'm just being sour because I can't get No7 or Neal's Yard anymore
