Thanks for the recommendations re:slap: have exchanged lg amounts of cash with Bobbi Brown for foundation and super-strength concealer (turns out my skin is porcelain, which sounds better than yellow and wan) plus pink blush to give illusion of restful nights.

(The Chanel girls were terrifying with matching eyebrows so steered clear)

I love bobbi brown.

Am wearing it now (as applied by girl on counter). I look strangely healthy. Also got some eyeliner stuff you put on with brush. The lip gloss is luminous pink and awful so am about to scrub it off.

xmas party tomorrow so will test drive

ooh - sounds lovely. Where did you get "done"?

am v impressed by concealer: complex system with 2 pots and some powder stuff but conceals massive purple bags under eyes (thanks to monster teething DS)

and I got some lovely bras from Rigby and Peller that FIT. I appear to have gone down a back size post-pg (not sure what that is about) so am 30G

cod - do you do a service where we can all email you photos of ourselves and you can advise on makeup, hair, clothes...

and if not, why not?

John Lewis: not bad for lunchtime before Xmas.

I have an inoffensive pink one from No 7 and a free Bobbi Brown lipstick - am a bit doubtful about gloss as my lips are on the large side and I don't want to blind anyone

scary
