A horrible spreading crack has appeared in my beloved silicone loaf tin. I thought for a while that I could carry on regardless but now the dough has started to ooze out of it while baking. Rats! I decided a trip into town to pick up a new tin was in order. Was also hoping it'd give me a break from the tedium of job searching but sadly no one seems to sell these tins anymore. I can't think why. They're really great! Oh well, looks like my bread's going to be a bit more freeform in the future.
To cheer myself up on the way out of the department stores I thought I'd see if I could be cheeky & get some free cosmetics from the scary women on the beauty counters. Full marks go to Elemis who gave me all these lovely goodies. I didn't pay a penny & she didn't even ask me to make an appointment for a make over. More mixed results at the Lancome counter. She sat me down, put concealer under my eyes & told me off for never having worn blusher. Here's a snap of me wearing it. She said it 'brightens my face'. I think I just look a bit pinker than usual. Despite having mentioned getting free samples in the past none were to be had here. Never mind. It was worth a try.
