I recently started dating again and my new 'boyfriend' if you could call him that yet, has asked to meet my friends. I thought nothing of it until my older smug married sister asked which ones I was going to let off the leash. Apparently it is not au fait to introduce him to my wild, wacky, stay up all night and do the walk of shame to the office friends.
No, Amelia says if I want to make a good impression, if I want him to think I am a girl that he does not want to let get away, the first friends he has to meet are the trusted, loyal, dinner and after eight mint friends of mine. The ones I have known since school. The ones I can trust won't throw up on him, or make him do karaoke on the first night, or talk about my hilariously awful exes. My good old devoted friends who will big me up, make me look superb and make him feel like perhaps he is not so worthy!
And this started to get me thinking about make up... Whilst I love new, colourful crazes and trends it's always good to have those dependable make up items to hand. Ones you know you can pull out of the bag when you really need to make that great first impression. I suppose another way of looking at it is what would you be gutted about if you lost your make up bag? The pea green eyeshadow that works so well on a crazy girl's night out, or the expensive rose tinted colour cream that makes you look so naturally glam and always gets the compliments. So here is my list of trusted 'friends'. Ones I know will never go out of fashion and will be with me until the end.
These are my friends for life!
