I was tempted as I can't be bothered to pull out the bigger steamer or iron these days. But would I use it? Like Toril, most of my clothes are easy care and I rarely leave the house these days, anyway. I used to wear finer fabrics with beading that a steamer is ideal for but no longer own...

Anyone use/like the No Makeup Serum foundation? I don't like a heavy foundation but am tempted to try this as I'm very slowly trying to get back out into the world again.

I agree. I had mine free in a gift bag at a beauty meet in America 20 years ago. I still have it! Admittedly, I haven't used it as much as my brushes, but I used the cleaner in the kit (I since bought more BBs and cleaners when they finally arrived here). It gives the best finish I have ever...

All the EU imports have gone up in jumps since Brexit, Covid and now the Ukraine war. Oh, and every time a 'sleb' is seen wearing them and all the fashionistas jump on them they'll go up another tenner. Being fashionable bumps the price of everything up. The woman opposite has had Dachshunds...

Chin hairs are tougher but so satisfying ☺️ I've been shaving my bum fluff off my face for decades. Makeup looks better and my skin had the glow back previously hidden by all the peach fuzz. I use a men's Wilkinson Sword razor as they have fine wires wrapping the blades so they don't nick...

Julia on the Marla Lynne show at 2pm. In 10 minutes she's managed to contradict sizes on screen, told us she doubts the sizing on the descriptions, had a tape measure out to prove she's right, not the written sizes, put the tape measure away, told us that MW sizing is consistent and then said...

I've been double-taking the Skin Sense kit before/afters. There's a significant change but it looks as if it's due to the lighting. The reflection in the model's eyes looks faded in the before and there's something off with her hair colour. It might just be me but it looks 'off' and therefore...

Are the shades forgiving?

I wonder if she suffers from lipoedema? My friend's SIL has this condition and puts weight on from the waist down only. It's a pretty difficult condition to dress as absolutely nothing looks right. She can't wear leggings or skinny jeans as her hips, bottom and legs have ballooned. She can't...

I have a full-blown allergic reaction to it!

Excellent post. I would like to rewind the world to that point. I'd also like QVC to rewind to the good old days of professional presenters doing a job well, and not behaving like unruly children shouting over the BAs. Colours and measurements correctly specified and no lies about item...

I was told by a locum 20-odd years ago that to have multiple miscarriages investigated I would need to be married. Yet unmarried women without problems could have multiple children with an absent father(s). I was met with a shrug when I said that.

I've done my own since my early teens and would always have compliments on them. However, since menopause, they've lost their colour so I need to use a pencil these days. I don't have time to pluck them any more as I'm too busy plucking my chin!

Indeed. Parents need to start parenting. I can't believe kids aren't taught the Green Cross Code. I had a Tufty the Road Safety Squirrel record before I started school and got my ROSPA badge after passing the bicycle test in the school playground. I got taught stuff in school that's stayed...

Does anyone remember Liquid Silver? I only saw a couple of shows and had fancied a necklace. As it happens, I came across a very similar necklace while visiting relatives in the USA. It was half the price of the QVC version, which with the exchange rate at the time eventually cost me less than...

Escentual are great for discounts. I like their Pretty Pennies scheme, too.

Getting that glow without the oil-slick look is my HG. I think I'll try this. Thanks.

Scrubby quackoil? Tea snort!

I like the Liplift. It really does help chapped lips and keep them soft. But I've used it for years and my lips are definitely not lifted. The flat lay bag is genius. So much easier to use than digging around in a traditional shape bag. I've had the original Flat Lay, the Tili and an Amazon...

Oddly enough, all the younger women from the rough estate next to me must go to the same salon. They all have that dark/black longer length hair (mostly extensions) and tan themselves orange. They all flick their hair like Julia, too. The overly-dark hair does nothing for them either.
