Yes, a day of rampant consumerism, removing myself from my natural form and fantastically rich food has made me feel better. I initially went home just to pick up stuff like shoes and cake tins, but since then ( Read more... )

I love Debenhams!
Perfect for bras in my size and old lady style clothing....

Perhaps its just me....

I also totally love urban decay, their eyeshadows are better than Barry M, much more depth of colour, and great used wet as eye liner.

Primark is good for basic underwear, but, alas, they think my bra size does not exist.

Fuckers.

It's not you - I have an odd body shape, plus am picky as hell about what I buy over £3. Plus I'm not too much of a fan of old-lady clothes unless they're charity shop finds, i.e I'm not paying £30 for a top that doesn't fit right and doesn't look my age, I'd rather go to a charity shop and get one for £5.I still don't understand this phenomena of square jumpers with crew necks - they don't really suit anyone very much, Cardigans are MUCH better :) The only issue I really have with Debenhams is that the lady who measured me up got my size completely wrong :( And, as said, I'm stupidly picky (even if my wardrobe doesn't exactly reflect this)

Urban decay, now thinking about it, does do good colors, but again, my inner tight bastard comes out there. How do you do it wet as an eye-liner? I know it sounds pretty obvious, but any tips?

Primark bras lose their shape so quicly, and their cup sizes don't really seem to correspond with anything, much. Slip from Primark = happiness. And tights/stockings.

I love Primark tights.
Im also a bargain hunter at heart, but I have got some adorable dresses from Debenhams in the past.

T use wet eyeshadow as eyeliner, get a fine make-up brush, dampen it, and brush it across the shadow then paint in a line across your lid.
It makes the colour more intense.
I also paint it over my whole eyelid with a damp cotton bud.
You have to layer it a bit but it turns out really nice.
