I look for a design I like, that works for me, is good quality at a price I consider acceptable. The designer name means absolutely nothing to me, and I deliberately avoid obvious branding. I recently saw the Biba show. All that obvious, self congratulatory branding? No thanks! In...

Lol. I love this range. Have 2 items already and just ordered 3 more (a combination of 1xeasy pay and 2x last clicks. Awesome!) The fabric is unbelievable. I'm looking forward to wearing it in the full heat of summer. So cool. So relaxed. The last time I wore a Join jacket, a friend of...

When I first started watching the Q, and I saw Kim Mendelssohn I genuinely thought she was high on drugs. I couldn't believe she kept coming back. Surely random blood tests at the airport would mean she was denied entry to the UK...? Nowadays I think it is nerves.

I agree that the perfume blogs are the best place to go. So much expertise and passion. I've made a few excellent purchases by reading the blogs, then scouring eBay for decants and 1ml samples. Saved a lot of money, too.

I agree with the incoherence being so irritating. Joules was the worst offender. He never said a full sentence. It was like being bombarded with half eaten marshmallows. Franks does the same, but she seems to start ok, then switch half way through, then backtrack before she reaches the end...

The only Easiyo I've bought from the Q was a P&P free OTO. Otherwise I get deals from H&B or Iceland. It's just too expensive, otherwise. And I find it doesn't work out any cheaper than pre-made yog. It may be delicious, and cheaper ml for ml, but I just eat more, in larger portions, so the...

Mine just arrived. I like everything, although the porcelain foundation is VERY yellow. It may work in high summer, but at the moment it is waaaay too dark. I'm always shocked at how well yellow goes with my skintone, because even though it doesn't 'match' it does 'tone' - I will just need a...

If it is running dark and yellow, then I will definitely be getting fair. I have masses of foundation that's too dark for me, and I often end up dusting with an Illamasqua uber pale powder just to balance. The compact looks EXACTLY the same (including pad with ribbon handle) as those ones off...

I'm definitely getting it, but until I see the foundations lined up on the back of someone's hand, I won't decide on the shade. I have always found Mally's powder foundations rather dark, and her liquids rather pale. But this one is new...

Hi, I've been getting this one. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ETUDE-HOUSE-Precious-Mineral-Annie-Cushion-Refill-4-colors-SPF50-PA-/271374030500?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item3f2f2716a4 The one you linked to is a colour corrective one - comes in mint, peach and pink I think. But the link I've...

Hi, I get the 'mineral any cushion' (the cushion being the little sponge inside) I've actually bought all 3 of their shades - cos I still tan with SPF 50! The palest is me mid winter somewhere between LG porcelain and fair. The second is me now, probably LG fairish. The third is me in high...

I'm looking forward to the TSV, and I will be very sorry if the company ceases to produce the eyebrow crayon, the mascara, some of her complexion products including her poreless defender non-powder thing. In the upcoming TSV I'm particularly looking forward to the foundation compact. The reason...

I have a friend who won't use anything else. She loves it, and her skin looks stunning. But unfortunately it is too dark for my skin. (Bare minerals golden-fair, Laura geller between porcelain and fair) The JD magic stuff makes my face look dirty

I think the antique taupe, platinum and bronze are all shimmery. So I would guess the others are too. I've ordered. I want the Camo, the plum and the taupe. I'll sell the bronze. I'll give the platinum to a friend who loves it. Very pleased!

I'm watching the presentation now, and I have to say that the Thorntons lady is very successfully putting me off EVERYTHING. She keeps dipping her knife into a jug of hot water. (Mmmm, must be a horrible slurry of dilute choc water, by now) Then she shakes the knife. (Flicking slurry water...

I've been putting money in the boxes for years, but I don't take the poppies. I think they are a waste of paper and plastic, and if I don't take one, then there is one more left for someone else. However, I've ordered one of the Buckley ones this year. At least it won't go in the bin 3 days...

I loved the age benefit elixir from that Xmas TSV - did wonders for my pigmentation. I really like the serums and elixirs because they are light and non greasy. Most of Gatineau's other products are too rich for me. I'm an oil slick if I use them. But I won't be buying this set - I have a...

We bought an automatically opening bin about a year ago. £35 from BnQ, in sale Nearly didn't - too expensive Had it for 9 months Hated it Have now returned to the £8 flip lid style we had before. Stays cleaner, seems to smell less, and much easier to clean. More expensive does not necessarily...

I agree. There are far too many black mascaras being flogged to death. Apparently they are ALL miraculous, thickening, lengthening, curling, non smudging, easy removing, life-changing... Yeah, right. In my opinion most people look much better with brown or brown-black. Black is often too harsh...

They keep plugging 'and you get all this for just a £5 a day' But add in half a pint of milk, rice, pasta and potato, as appropriate, fresh berries and yog, and all the veg that you would need to feel full... Kinda makes that sentence nonsense, doesn't it? Also, if you look at the blurb, they...
