thrrrob : Benefit Cosmetics

Ever have that absolute favourite item that you love so much you don't actually want to use it for fear of wasting/running out?

Well that's how I feel about thrrrob by Benefit Cosmetics.
 I love it so much. However in the wake of the news that it is being discontinued (sob) my current box worries me slightly, It was a gift bought from ebay and the more I use it the more I'm convinced it's a fake. A really convincing one. But a fake nonetheless. The reason I think this is because it lost its glittery shimmer very quickly and now sits quite matte in the box. 
 

 I am further convinced by the difference in tones between the official Benefit photo (top) & my box (below). 


I'd already considered stocking up on when I heard they were discontinuing this blush & after closely examining my blush I'm even more determined. Perhaps I'll do a side by side when I get it!

Will you be sad to see Thrrrob go like me? Have you ever been subject to ebay fakes? Let us know!

"Brand New Mint In Box"

By
Of the ways to describe the most premium of items in your makeup collection "Brand New Mint In Box" should not be one of them. One of my most awful habits is buying makeup and then not using it and to my even greater shame it is usually with my most expensive purchases. There is an Alan Carr joke about the extortionate price of a Spanish Onion, the punchline is "when do you save an Onion for best?" This is kind of how I feel about expensive makeup. It's so pretty and so precious that if I get up the courage to actually purchase it, I'm then usually too scared to use it. The pride and shame of this habit is these two items from Dior.  The absolutely sublime Dior Skin Nude Tan highlighter which I purchased as a pre-release special edition from House Of Fraser TWO YEARS AGO has sat in box all tightly wrapped up only being shown the light to show off to my friends and family. Yes I do show off my prettiest of pretties to my friends and family...

No Halloween Costume Needed

By
It's become an accepted norm that once December 1st comes around the nations will don their snowflake print leggings and their novelty jumpers but so far the other seasons are lacking in their effort. Yes, Halloween is famous as being the single greatest costume day of the year but I need October to step and represent in the seasonal apparel game.  Thankfully retailers have heard my inner goth cry and have come up with some seriously cute Halloween inspired items. For those who love a slogan tee you have every variation of saying that could possibly be made by rhyming witch with bitch and if you don't say every one of with Emma Roberts' attitude then you need to watch season 3 of American Horror Story immediately!   Dressing with the seasons is clearly big money but it doesn't have to cost the world. Here are my choices of how to get into the Halloween spirit all under £30.  Boohoo Starting with my favourites because I can! I actually bought the f
