Rosie- Thanks sooooo much for recommending tube mascaras. I ordered blinc mascara and WOW. It lasted all day no smudges, didn't make my sensitive eyes water or feel gritty, held the curl from my eyelash curler pretty much for the whole 10 hours and slid off with a wet washcloth while in the shower FANTASTIC thank you x

Isabel- thanks for reccommending Physicians formula i have found a couple of things on EBay so have saved the search to check for others as and when they become available. I did purchase some of their matte finishing veil from an ebay seller- great stuff absorbed shine and kept make up in place all day Thank you x
