I'm 5'7", a size 24, and have about 4 items of Yong Kim. Have to choose carefully because only certain styles will fit. I've been layering for years, and love it. So comfortable. So my Yong Kim stuff blend right in. About 3 weeks ago a woman stopped me in the street to compliment me on my...

The 3rd drop is January, so I guess the 2nd one will be sometime in October... I'll probably cancel after the 2nd one, because that pale beige/pink lipstick won't suit me. The berry one on the other hand... Will wait and see.

Anyway, holidays and cars do not make someone a diva. Diva-ish behaviour is demanding special treatment, bringing an entourage, throwing tantrums and being unreasonable. I don't see much of that amongst the presenters - not on screen anyway - and the rest is hearsay. Nor does much of it reach...

Still smiling at this: I work 9 long days and then get alternate Fridays off - and this is one of my days off. So this morning I trundle down the high street, dog attached, and enjoy a coffee sitting outside a cafe. Bliss. The dog enjoys it too because he gets masses of attention from passing...

I've found the way to wear BnB is to mix colours. In the winter I'm too yellow for porcelain, and too light for fair, and even now I'm still mixing a little porcelain in with the fair - and that's with daily dog walks after work. Porcelain by itself is too pink and shiny. But I've found it...

Yes, I've tried double wear foundation. I thought I looked the bees knees - til I went into fluorescent light. A ghost would have looked more human. Might have been my shade (I'm pale) but it looked dreadful. Never wore it again because whole sections of the office are lit by fluorescents...

I wonder sometimes what possesses a brand to select their 'Ambassadors' (or for QVC to appoint them!) The L'artisan Parfumeur ambassador has changed again - and for the better. Do you think their sales were suffering? And I agree about the Diamonique lady - lovely, gentle, unassuming...

I have no experience of the product, but on the tv screen the models' limbs looked like they had been Tangoed. How that looks in real life, I don't know, but other fake tans on QVC don't look like that on our tv, so I'm guessing it uses different pigments from other tans. Not a look that I would...

That's awful. How long did it take to get better? Any idea which ingredient is the problem? I've been very lucky with the Bioeffect. Been using it nightly for about 4 months, and found it wonderful. I like the effect on my skin and it doesn't even make my eyes sore - and that is unusual...

Ooh, let's see. Yong Kim zip backed tunic and waistcoat. Marvellous. Worth their weight in gold. Diane Gilman jeans x6. Life changing. Attitudes by Renee viscose cowl neck moss green top. Want 5 more. One in every colour. Won't talk about the returned mistakes, but every one has been...

Bamboo is great,isn't it? I've only got socks in it so far, but they are firm favourites. And it is such an environmentally sustainable fabric, too. I like viscose, esp. Viscose jersey (remember when the non-jersey used to crease into knife edges?), but the processing is very chemical...

Have been misleading you! Realised that i do have some polyester - a couple of really nice maxi dresses I bought last year off eBay. They were incredibly cheap, so I thought I would take the risk. HATED them - until I put a full length cotton shift between me and the horrible staticky fabric...

I won't buy anything that is 100% synthetic. I find them cold and clammy in the winter, sweaty and clingy in the summer. If an item has some viscose or cotton, or other natural fibre, then I would happily buy. Mr Max actually has a rather lovely crochet cardigan that I was considering - then...

Just what I need, heading into the hottest months of the year: 96% polyester, 4% elastane. Sticky, sweaty, unbreathable and potentially smelly. :mysmilie_468: Anyone else prefer natural fabrics in the heat?

Don't you just love it when a brand that has used the 'mineral powder is superior' as a sales technique for decades does a 180 degree about-turn and now launches the-next-best-thing liquid. Come on, BM, either you've been conning us for decades, or you are now hypocrites. Which is it to be...

I saw her yesterday, with red lips, and thought she looked stunning. Hair, skin, lips. She looked really well, sparking bright eyes. I wondered if it was the lipstick, since she usually wears such bland lip shades. I agree that her hair may be a fraction dark/strong on her, but is is a huge...

Mine arrived yesterday. Absolutely beautiful. I examined every square millimetre for any faults (none) and moved into it. Used it today going out with a friend (I'm on annual leave), and she noticed it immediately, without me even drawing attention to it. She doesn't know the brand, and...

I have no idea whether Frette is worth the money or not (I suspect not, but I haven't slept in it, so I cannot know). However, the Q has created a massive rod for its own back. They have been boring on about thread counts since NN joined the party. After more than a decade of 'high TC =...

:mysmilie_520: Went out for lunch with in-laws and missed the delivery! Have rearranged it for tomorrow. Oooohhhh the suspense...

My thoughts: The map graphic of the boat scooting round to different destinations was irritating The destinations themselves were interesting, particularly the Venice one A fly cruise is great, but you are limited in luggage These were longer cruises so you would want to take more luggage They...
