I'd recommend lipstick queen for lipstick. They do a lipstick shape balm range which is moisturising, subtle and stays in place wihout being gunky. I also wasn't a lipstick gal but its changed my attitude. I'd second Nars blusher stick too, lasts for years. Another staple of mine is eyebrow wax to repaint those eyebrows over plucked in teenage years ...

Just wanted to thank everybody that took time to reply. We were in Docklands today, and I went to Boots at Canary Wharf - they have makeup counters and were really quiet.


I bought a Clarins 3 dot eyeliner, and had a long consultation with Bare Minerals. Really helpful girl, put me at ease. On her suggestion I bought a small "warm" colours kit (eye colour, lip colour, blusher etc) and she gave me a big bag of samples to take away and try. Also got a Max Factor mascara, on her recommendation.


I've had a play and now look like I'm ready for a night out (I think I've done ok!), but true to form life with kids means I am sitting watching SpongeBob!

OH - the bare minerals ladies in CW are lovely! Its great for a shop at the weekend and the big boots on the otherside of the shopping complex to Bare Minerals has loads of counters.


They have a bobby brown and Space NK shop there as well - I love the bobbi brown shimmer brick as I sometimes use the lighter colours on my eyes.


I do recommend smashbox (at the back in the larger boots at CW) - they have a great primer (I use the light one) and eye primer (keeps eye shadow in place and stops it going in creases) for when you want to look especially glam x

Loving this thread. Belle I recently bought a couple of Charlotte Tilbury eyeshadow crayons and still working on the technique - it doesn't look like the tutorial results QUITE yet :-0

I got accosted by a Trish McEvoy salesperson in Selfridges recently and bought their eyeshadow base and also their under eye brightener - which you apply in a sort of big upside down triangle under your eyes - I was a bit skeptical but I'm pretty impressed!

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      it was super odd... my first instinct was perhaps this individual was lost or needed help... but when they just stood there looking me dead in the eyes it felt intimidating.  i did call 101 and they were super helpful and seems like i wasnt the only one that rang that night. thanks for the help and advice ... really appreciate it 🙂

      They don't normally come to somebody's front door specifically to stick their tongues out, having had no prior contact with that person. 🙄

      @alice I suggest you reserve judgement until you've experienced it yourself.

      SIM card for spare mobile

      By Sue · Posted

      Yes, I've never bought a  phone that was locked to a specific network. So as far as I know,I can just stick any SIM card in my old mobile. Or indeed my new mobile, but there wouldn't be much point in that; I think the old one  still works, but there must have been some reason why I bought a new one. I think I wanted something with more storage capacity, and my new one has loads. It's just occurred to me that I need to double check all my photos etc are backed up. I hardly ever make actual phone calls, I usually use WhatsApp or texts or emails, but clearly if my main phone is stolen I would need to make various phone calls ASAP. I was just going to get a cheap card from Argos, so I'm not sure anybody there would know! The actual mobile I use is on a SIM only contract with iD, so maybe I should just ask them. I don't care about the number as it's only for occasional use. I've had my main mobile number ever since I've had a mobile, apart from a work related one, so around 25 years, and I do care about that number as it's very easy to remember,  so I've moved it around whenever I've changed providers  Oh, really? I thought there were just two sizes and if you needed the smaller one you just took off the surrounding bit? Surely mobiles take a SIM card for any network, otherwise you could never change network without changing your phone? How long have you had that SIM card in the phone? If I  have to make phone calls using the back up phone, the person I was calling wouldn't know who it was! They might think it was spam! I'd have to tell them in advance that I was going to call them 🤣
