QI love to try new make-up and skincare. However, I have lots of products that I’ve only used once and don’t want to throw them away. Is there a group that would accept them?

H Manuel, by email

Yours says Set up by beauty blogger, Caroline Hirons, Give and Makeup is a non-profit initiative which gets everyday essentials to women and children who need them the most. Donated to Refuge and Women’s Aid, it’ll accept new and used products (except for lip glosses and mascara).

QI’m going on a fly cruise for the first time and have no idea what to pack for my holiday. Do you have any suggestions?

G Farthing, by email Yours says A capsule wardrobe is a must. This includes versatile pieces of clothing, accessories and shoes that ‘go’ with everything else. Check beforehand with your cruise line for formal evenings, as you may need evening dresses for these.
