Get your #fakeup on with @benefit_ire

Last night -edit- Tuesday night(!) myself and Bex were invited to the fakeup event at the Ivory restaurant in House of Fraser, Belfast.

We got to meet other lovely bloggers, try some products and hear about the new fakeup! (There may have been a sneaky glass of champagne had too...)

So! Fakeup is the new concealer from Benefit which would be amazing on its own, however, it's got a hydrating ring full of vitamin E and apple seed extract which moisturises while covering up those nasty dark circles. We all had the product applied by the fabulous Mark, who showed us how to blend it to perfection.

At the moment I have the cold so cue big red nose and awful skin... Fakeup has already covered these and because of the hydrating ring it actually feels nice on my nose instead of awful and dry! Ps it wears well with being attacked by snotty tissues and lots of sneezing...winner!

Pps what's with all this snow?? I have to travel back to leeds on Saturday night! By boat. And coach.... My word!

"Brand New Mint In Box"

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

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
