What a Cheek!




One thing I can't help but think when I look at my collection of make up is "I'm pretty sure I've lost a tonne of these" I know for a fact that there are at least two MAC cream blushes missing and a few Benefit boxes too (at one point I had two Thrrrob's because I stocked up when they discontinued it... still mourning btw.) Do I have any idea where they are? Nope. Am I going to miss them? OF COURSE but not really because look at the pretties I still have!

I'm a huge Benefit Blush fan. It's pretty much the only Benefit product I will religiously love. Yes the Mascaras are great and the novelty products are fun but, for me, it's all about the cheeks! Give me a blush, bronze and highlighting product and I will be happy. 

Other favourable mentions are Marks & Spencer's Limited Collection Pink Mix Blusher (a delightfully checkered mix of pinks, purples and corals) an added bonus is that its hypoallergenic so I don't feel bad using it without foundation, The Sleek 'Blush By 3' Trio are a recent addition and they really pack a punch.


So those are the most used of my blushes, have you any recommendations of your favourites?

"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
