I really like Caroline Hirons. There are brands that she works with but she recommends all sorts. I bought her book for my daughter for Christmas and may well yet get myself a copy. Lovely to read or dip in and out of, even if I don't learn very much! :)
I won't be buying Alison Young's book.
I remember a good few years ago, someone gave the heads up on here that an Elemis set of cleanser & toner was on the Q website at a bargain price. Quite a few of us snapped them up and all orders were honoured, so fingers crossed!
I remember the Mary Quant nail polish too. Also, Pretty Peach when I was 10/11 years old.
My stomping ground was Croydon. Not quite so glam as Chelsea or Carnaby!
I used to love Tokyo Rose lipstick! I think I still have one somewhere but it's completely worn down. I also used to wear ****** Mary which was a fabulous glossy red.
Also, when people are in a bar or cafe and ask for a drink, they say "Can I get" instead of "Can I have". It drives me nuts! I know language evolves, but there are some things that are just grammatically wrong!
As others have said, it's best to only use Retinol at night, and a high level of spf in the daytime.
Also go gently with Retinol if you're a first time user - only twice a week to start with.
I'm trying to remember the name of a piece of exercise equipment that IW flogged for quite a long time but I can't find it on their website.
It's the one where the woman demoing had had a large number of children and her husband made it to sort out her bits and pieces iykwim! You stand on it and...
Hi Jude. All good with me. I'm living in Jersey now. xx
Thanks for the replies, all. I guess it must have been Eilidh. She was quite hysterical and poor old Glen looked quite bemused!
