In reply to Jane Cunningham. I will always be grateful to him for that. Hilarious about all the nail polishes. They are nice, though.

In reply to Wendy Seegar. Oh gosh, I remember John so well - what a lovely man. The one thing I remember very clearly is that he had kept all the Chanel nail polishes he had ever been sent so had a library of them in his shed :-).

Years ago, in the days of The Clothes Show with Jeff Banks and Caryn Franklin, John Gustafson used to advise on beauty. I wrote to him asking for his recommendation for a mascara that would work for someone who had very watery, blinky eyes and oily lids (all the problems). He recommended the Sensai 38 ° mascara and I have worn it ever since. I have tried the Clinique Lash Power, as recommended by Sali Hughes and Victoria Beckham’s. Both are good but the Sensai is best even though you can only buy it at Harrods.

In reply to Carrie.

I don’t understand it Carrie at all – I’ve made the mistake of reviewing mascaras without realising they are tubing – even film forming will do for me but to just leave it out of the description altogether is inexplicable.

It’s weird that ‘tubing’ seems to be a dirty word in mascara product descriptions. It’s frustrating and baffling. I now only look for tubing mascaras as I have oily eyelids and tubing mascaras are fantastic for not producing panda eyes + the ease of removal. I end up having to look for descriptions such as ‘removes with water’, ‘film forming’ or reviewing the ingredients lists to look for ‘vinyl’ or ‘polymer’. Glossier’s Lash Slick refers to ‘film forming’, Essences Bye Bye Panda Eyes (looks sadly like it’s been discontinued – which is hugely annoying), states it “wraps itself around the fine hairs like a soft film..can easily be removed with warm water”. Trish McEvoy mascara kind of refers to it (not on the packaging, but on the website); Hourglass Unlocked doesn’t refer to tubing at all, yet it is one (and an excellent one at that). Why the coyness?

In reply to Rachel Clark. I think so too but they're really weird about calling themselves 'tubing'. It's so annoying because that's why I forget about them.

I love the Trish McEvoy one which is also tubular, in fact I purchased a new one in Liberty yesterday, think that one was £22.50? £24.50?
Anyway, I love that one because, as you say, if you only want to wear mascara on your top lashes it does not smudge on the bottom.. a revelation.
