Ah God be with the not-to-distant days when the only "R" words on the minds of the nation were Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.
And maybe "Ride" if Aphrodite was talking about Johnny Rhys Myers or Daniel Craig.

Now, of course, the accursed "R" word of the '80s has come home to roost. If you're feeling the pinch but fancy a few new make-up bits, why not try swapping rather than shopping for them? Make Up Alley host a great swap forum where users across the globe exchange their unwanted products for goodies that they'd actually use. Registration is free, and users rate each other following each transaction so you can check a member's feedback before commiting to a swap. Alternatively, why not get together with a gang of mates who each bring a bagáiste of stuff they want rid of and do your swapping over a glass or three of wine? Not only is swapping a cheap option, it's much better craic than traipsing around store while Sales Assistants try to convince you that orange foundation actually matches your skin!
