The hardest thing to get right with make up is foundation. Too little and your skin looks smudgy and you look ill – too much and you can look tired, old and desperate.

SELFRIDGES & CO, MR DANIEL MAXWELL, GOOD JOB. Last week a friend of ours rang Selfridges, the Armani counter, looking for a new mascara and was helped by a wonderful guy called Daniel Maxwell, he was witty, kind and even gave tips about the requested mascaras.

I have purchased a CLARISONIC, Skin Cleansing…not the cheapest thing I have for my skin but it is paying off… We test a lot of products on hangupsandhandbags, including a lot of skin products, I have a sensitive skin so I am fast becoming an expert on what my skin likes…and hates.
