Leaving on a Jet plane.

Phew! What a couple of months it's been. I've done 2, count it, TWO! Full plays in 2 months on top of my 9-5 and girls let me tell you I am pure tired. So what better way to celebrate a week off work than a trip to ole London Town for this weekends IMATS! 
After last year I can tell you I'm very excited and much more prepared for my IMATS experience. We are going to be a little less "deer in makeup wielding headlights" and a little more... Well just more lol. We're actually going to make it to some of the lectures & classes this time and we've given ourselves an extra day in the city to do some standard touristy stuff (no spoilers). 
Ahead of our flight tonight I'm in full holiday beauty prep mode. I'm primping, preening & de-fuzzing to within an inch of my life. Part of this exercise involves trying out some of the new Superdrug face masks currently on offer at 4 for £3. They're definitely trying to edge in on the Montagne Jeunesse market here, time will tell if they're successful. 
Also taking part in my regime is The Karités Hair Mask jam packed full of moisturising Shea goodness. I love this mask. It's £1.50 from Primark of all places! You get tonnes of product & it really gives a lot of moisture without going greasy. 
As you can see from the obligatory Sally Hansen still I'm also giving myself a wee manicure. I'm currently using their growth formula as a base coat as I hate my newly short nails & am desperately trying to grow out these flaws in order to be able to keep them long & show them off. It's a long term commitment but I'm determined. 
So that's my pre-holiday/event routine. I don't fake tan because, ugh, effort. But it's nice to feel a wee bit pampered before going away. 
Stay tuned to my Instagram, Twitter & Vine (all @Faeribex) & the same for @bexberry, find her over at www.bexberry.com, as i'm sure we'll be documenting every second in some form or another! We'll also be posting Hauls, FOTDs, OOTDs & general antics! Aren't you excited? I certainly am. 

Bexberry & I outside last years IMATS during a very snowy January!

The Ordinary by The Abnormal Beauty Company (or how I dipped my toe in to Deciem)

By
  The Ordinary by the Abnormal Beauty Company ; If you haven't heard about this cult brand yet then you might not know they are hot shit right now and with their parent company, Deciem , being bought up by Estée Lauder they're only going to get bigger.   The internet has been a buzz for months now with beauty gurus far and wide raving about these high end products for low end prices. I couldn't believe it myself when I saw that there wasn't a product in the range that cost more than 8.00 quid!  So I joined the cult. I have to say that I was really impressed by the counter staff in House Of Fraser Belfast , they were friendly, knowledgeable and able to point me in the direction of the products I needed with just a short chat about my skin. I bought the Hyaluronic Acid 2% and the Niacinimide 10% Serums. If you have no idea what these mean then basically the Hyaluronic is for hydration and, whilst The Ordinary say that Niacinimide combats blemishes, I would ac...

Matcha Madness: The Body Shop Matcha Tea Face Mask Review

By
My name is Bex and I am a mask addict! I love masks. Cream, clay, mud, peeling, sheet, cellulose, nourishing... you name it and I love it! I recently spent an evening with the amazing staff from The Body Shop Belfast learning about all their key products and celebrating their cruelty free status and at the end of the night I was very kindly gifted their Japanese Matcha Tea pollution clearing mask - I was delighted!  We all know that the world has gone Matcha crazy but beyond an occasional frappe from a well known coffee house my main experiences have been with Matcha flavour cakes from my local asian supermarket. They are seriously amazing and the lightest sponge I've ever eaten but it doesn't exactly scream "good for you". Thankfully, apart from being seriously tasty Matcha is ridiculously good for you. Traditionally brewed as a simple green tea it is packed full of antioxidants - 10 times the amount in normal green teas as you are consuming the precious groun...

Faeriwood Eats: Wolf & Devour, gluten free dining done right

By
I get asked a lot about how people can go about promoting their businesses and whilst it is a huge question one of the things I will always recommend is social media and Instagram. I love it. I've discovered so many good restaurants while browsing hashtags and local accounts. Recently I was scrolling through  #Glutenfreebelfast  and spotted five glorious words.  Gluten. Free. Mac'n'Cheese. Balls.  Cue heavy breathing.  It wasn't until we were sitting down in the small but gorgeously laid out premises - think modern cantina with industrial and urban garden accents - that I realised I've actually seen the  Wolf &  Devour  food truck around festivals and fairs but I had always assumed, being full of all things bready, that they were just a no go for little old Coeliac me. Knowing that they had at least this one gf item on the menu gave me the confidence to go and visit their Ballyhackamore restaurant as soon as I physically coul...
