Recommended and sought

 

    Quick links gathered together from yesterday's post - I know it's a collection of random items, but why not? Please do keep your recommendations coming and I'll add them to this list, likewise anything you're particularly seeking, as someone may know just the product, place, etc.

Recommended:

By me: Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation SPF15.

By Curzon: BaByliss 2775U Big Hair Rotating Styler.

By Juxtabook: MyTights.com and Firebox.

By Linda, in response to my request for a book on meditation: The Miracle Of Mindfulness (and though fiction should be on the other site, for continuity's sake here may I also recommend Linda's novels, particularly Star Gazing and the recently released House of Silence).

By Dark Puss: Mehron Makeup.

By Oxslip: Natio skincare and cosmetics, Peony and Thistle notebooks and journals, ceramic artist Adam Buick, Fox's Mini Party Rings!

By rj: Hové Parfumeur, New Orleans, carnation scent.

By Geranium Cat: Green Tea Fine Hand Lotion by Heyland & Whittle, Burt's Bees Hand Creme, Crabtree & Evelyn La Source Hand Recovery.

By BR Wombat: Real Foods (free delivery for UK orders over £5).

By Kate/Massachusetts: Books on the Knob.

By Adèle Geras: Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation (and again, may I recommend Adèle's novels - it's hard to choose just two, but let's say Facing The Light and Made In Heaven). 

By Nicola: Clinique sheer lip colour (was it specifically this one, Nicola?).

By Pamela: Mario Badescu Bee Pollen Night Cream.

By Canyda: Chocolate Mama by Helen Bradley Hall.

 

Sought:

By rj: good hypoallergenic lip colour (not gloss).

By Dark Puss: a UK source of men's jackets and trousers (full details and size requirements in his comment here).

By Birdie: wellies with arch support (or simply very comfortable wellies).

    In answer to Birdie, I've worn Hunter wellies for years and have found them to be comfortable and give more support to the foot than other makes. At the moment I have neoprene-lined boots by Toggi (they were a gift) and they are very cosy in cold weather, but for my next pair I might be tempted by neoprene-lined Hunters like these!

By Oxslip: suggestions for holiday reading. See her specific requirements!

Have you seen this website yet? I signed up for the daily newsletter in which she lists the recent ereader releases - many are free and others are a nominal price. There are both US and UK book releases. Today I bought the waterproof cover for my Kindle for the grand amount of one cent plus shipping! Here is the site:

I was pleased to see rj's link to Hove in New Orleans - did not have the link bookmarked on the new computer and haven't visited the site in a long while. Carnation sounds wonderful - as does their Camellia - though I see that they no longer list the White Rose that I had years and years ago (maybe on my first wedding anniversary, when we were in the shop).

Is there such thing as Wellies with arch support? Alternately, what are the most comfortable Wellies?

[Birdie]

Thanks so much! I'll check Hunters out!

[Dark Puss]

I'm very happy with my Aigle Wellington boots. I used to have a pair of Hunters and I think the Aigle are as good.

[Birdie]

Thank you so much! I will check them out.

Found a lip color at the Clinique counter at the department store. They have lovely shades, and I got the idea from Nicola's mention of sheer lip color. I chose high impact lip colour spf 15 in honey blush. So, thank you Nicola!
