Advice for beginner?

OK history. I've never been much into makeup until recently. Couldent be bothered with wasting the time I guess. Anyway back in the winter I was at an event and won a voucher for a free makeover at a leading UK store. Initially I wasnt very excited and figured I'd give it to someone else. Anyway long story short some time later thought why not lets give it a try. I let them do their magic and left. Stopped at a coffee shop after and went to the bathroom. I looked in the mirror and wow I was shocked at how good I looked. Like really WOW!!

Since then I've dabbled with putting a bit on, mainly for work. I've found I feel a LOT more confident with just a touch of makeup on but not too much. I cant spent a lot of time in the mornings with this? How long is reasonable? Is 5-10 minutes reasonable

So here's what I want to achieve. A quick touch of makeup fousing on eyes especially, cheaks and lips? If there was a quick makeup kit available I'd buy it.

On the subject of eyes I belive there are some alternative to traditional eye shadow but what should I consider for a quick application?

As I said I want a fairly quick job. I live on a rural farm, spend a lot of time outdoors so cant spend ages doing this. But.. still I'd like now to put on a quick bit of make up when i'm in the mood. As I said it increases my confodence which suprised me in itself.

Thoughts please?

Alternative to Kipling handbags

OK I'm being a biit general with that title, what I'm refering to is probably classed as a "cross body" bag but they are stii all a hndbag to me!

Anyways what I'm talking about is something like this

https://eu.kipling.com/en-gb/products/syro-u-kpki93904dx?variant=55908091462014

Now I'm not particularly looking for a Kipling bag. There seem to be plenty of less expensive options out there. What I am looking for though is a Kipling style of cross body bag that are usually made of some sort of nylon type of fabric. I see lots of women with them and they are not Kipling but probably some other brand or even generic purchased online. I took a brief look on Amazon and found all sorts of choices.

So my question for everyone is have you any experience of these Kipling style bags that are not Kipling itself. Brands etc to consider or avoid? Or do I just take my chances on Amazon?

Probably a silly question!

As in title probably a silly question but I really want your thoughts on this. Am I the only one who has this dilemma?

So here in the UK it been (and remains) a long hot dry summer. I've literally lived in comfy skirts and dresses for god knows how long now. But sometime in the autumn theres going .to come a day when the weather forcast will spout out all doom and gloom like "tomorrows really going to feel autumnal" In other words we wake up to a much colder day, maybe 10 0r 12 degrees for example.

And that's what i'm dreading. I go through this every year. I really dont want to quit wearing skirts as thats what I prefer but its suddenly too chilly for bare legs, The cynical of you are probably thinking "put on some tights you silly cow". But thats the problem I'm too hot in my regular tights.

So how do you all handle this? This sudden transition time between warmer weather and autumnal when it too chilly for bare legs but not really cold. As I said probably a silly question but had to ask!
