Then my wonderful friend introduced me to ELF cosmetics where - she explained - you can buy almost anything for just £1.50. ELF (Eyes Lips Face) was not a brand I was familiar with, and at first assumed this must be one of those sites which offers last year's cast-offs and testers (none of which offer colours any self-respecting mum would consider).
In any case, I popped over to the site and my goodness - she was right!
