I personally have quite enjoyed the weekend, although there is a lot of it I haven't watched, but it has made a change to see some new ranges and products. Even though I'm not a sun worshipper, I've recently developed red patches on my face and have been interested in the organic and vegan products. I haven't bought an awful lot, only a couple of bits, but I do agree with the OPs comments on foundation. I need one that covers, but it has to be very light. It's a difficult task to get the right product, especially when trying to work out which colour is best from the useless information and photos you get to see. I've always worn light makeup, especially mascara, but it has been toned down over the years as I have got older. I'm now 75 (almost) and told that I have good skin, having looked after it over the years.
I'd rather spend the weekend with the Cold Shoulder Queen than The Gnome! I think we're due a weekend with him soon though, so I'll be off to watch the paint peel - it's more exciting.
