Thank you so much. Some great ideas. I spent hours browsing online last night!
42 and powerhoop - those were great suggestions. I ended up going into super drug today as so much was sold out online. They had some amazing value gift sets and I managed to get a really lovely selection of makeup for about £23. I am going to look like such a cool aunt!
Fairy lea - thanks for the info. I had a look but I think the price had gone back up and I decided that I needed to see it in RL as I was dithering about colours
Lottie - try super drug! Great value stuff at the moment!
Teta - I love BB for myself but sadly I don't live near the girl and there isn't any BB near her. It is a great idea maybe for a year or so on though, thanks
Fuckit - I had a look but she wouldn't have used the primer and i think it would have been wasted. I think at the moment it is about experimenting and possibly that calls for cheap and cheerful!
Bunbaker - I started there thinking it would be the answer but they didn't seem to have many palettes and I'm not good enough with colours to guess one or two as being "right". I wanted to present her with a selection to cover myself!
Thank you all so much. It was really nice to shop for a girl for a change and made much more pleasant by being pointed in the right direction.
