About to head over to a friend's house for a few quiet drinks hun, but here's a couple of must-have tips before I go (and come back later to talk more about pretties!)

Foundation: Maybelline SuperStay 24 Hour. No joke, hands down the BEST foundation I've owned in years. Goes on beautifully with either fingers or sponge, isn't cakey or chalky but gives fantastic coverage without weighing you down, and really does last all day. Love it. Am about to buy some of the Fit Me range that's just come out to see how it measures up, but in all honesty, the SuperStay is fantastic. I highly recommend it.

Powder: You don't even really need it if you're using SuperStay, but if you're (for eg) going out on the town for a sweaty night of dancing, or need a really polished look for attending a wedding, my pick is definitely L'Oreal True Match. Very finely milled, goes on like a dream and doesn't go chalky or look orangey like a lot of 'translucent' powders.

Okay, gotta dash, but will be back tomorrow to talk more PS - that bright pink lippie I was talking about? NYX Matte in Shocking Pink. Sooooo good!
