Wicked Witch of the West
So I recently when with a few of my family members to see Oz the Great and Powerful.  It was actually an enjoyable film.  I'm a big Mila Kunis fan.  Her and Justin Timberlake in Friends with Benefits are great.  ( Haven't seen it then go watch, its good.) 

So anyway getting back on track.  My brother for my post Christmas present bought me a new Urban Decay eyeshadow set.  He asked me what one i wanted but as usual I couldn't choose.  So he got me the new Oz the Great and Powerful Theodora set. 

It comes in two different versions the Theodora ( the wicked witch of the west) or Glinda (the good witch of the north).  They are both lovely sets though they are as different as night and day (which I think is the point :p).  So Theodora's are darker colours with a bright red lip pencil and a zero eyeliner pencil, while Glinda's has lighter colours with a pink lip pencil and a rockstar eyeliner pencil.  They both have eight different eyeshades two of these are duo spilt ones.

I have Theodora with I decided to use today as I had a day of work and was actually able to put on make-up for a change.  Theodora is great it can be used to give a natural looking smokey look.  I'm not usually a big fan of bright red lips but I tried it out anyway and guess what I liked it.  (Heading out on Sat might use this then too : p )  When I tired out this look I got a tiny bit under my eyes so I decided to dab at it and then used Fake-Up to cover the area I had just wiped and for the first time in my life something actually worked to hide the stupid smudge mark under my eyes and not look like I messed up my make-up.  It made it look like I'd put my make-up on perfectly.  This product is defo staying in my make-up bag.  :p


The Glinda Palette.

The Theodora Palette.


I after looking at both sets I've decided I like the darker Theodora palette best.  I personally like darker shades when wearing eyeshadows.  The price of both sets are £35.00 and you can buy them online or in any Debenhams store.  So go treat yourselves.  But first you'll have to decide which witch you are Glinda or Theodora?  The Wicked witch of the West or the Good witch of the North?   Leave a comment and let us know which witch you are :p

Benefit's Fake Up!!


So on Tuesday night Sami dragged me to a blogger event in the House of Fraiser for Benefit's new product.  Can you guess what its called .... yup its called Fake Up.




This is it!



So what is Fake Up.  Its a concealer.... but not just any old concealer. It is a hydrating crease control concealer which is filled with apple seed extract and vitamin E.  It hides dark circles and diffuses fine lines so its great for people like me who are workaholics.  Hides those nasty dark circles to give a fresh appearance for up to six hours.  It comes in three shades light, medium and dark.



The three shades light, medium and dark


So my verdict on Fake up is that its amazing.  I've only been using it for a couple of days and I'm loving it.  So my advice go online or wait for it to get to the shops and buy it.  Its only £18.50 and worth every penny :p


It was a great event Mark Rodgers and the Benefit Ireland crew where great they made the night so  enjoyable.

Mark matching Sami up with her Fake- up.

So Mark give all a great tip on applying the Fake-Up.  He told us all to apply a thin layer under the eye, forehead and chin in a V shaped and blend in lightly.  He also to us to us a darker shade for contouring.  So Sami here is a medium shade while I am a light.  I like my make up to be the same shade as my skin while Sami likes hers to give a lovely warm glow.  If that helps :P

Look at all this Benefits products!!  I want!!
 
 
  Even I got my make up done!


I even got my make up done.  It looks really natural she used my favourite porefessional as a base.  (This is a must its the best primer I've ever had), Hello Flawless in Ivory (Yes I'm pale :p) mixed with that gal.  ( This is one thing I don't own going to have to buy this.  Going to have no money soon :p) .  For the eyes she used easiest nudes ever, they're real and BADgal liner.  She used the brow zing on my eyebrows but I think I've decide to pop into Debenhams on my next day off and go to the Benefits brow bar to get my eyebrows waxed and tinted so when I do I'll post and let you know how it went.  :p

This is what we got at the event.  Hello Flawess powder, Porefessional,
 Fake-Up in all three shades and Sexiest Nudes Ever!

So all in all a great night in the Ivory Restaurant in the House of Fraiser.  And I Hopeful plan to update more honest!! 

Sayonara (for now) :P xxx

The wanderer returns...
Hello people!!

So our last post was over a year ago and for that, we apologise. Or well, I apologise. You see, Sami has abandoned me now to her own blog and thus, I've decided to take over here. You'll notice the blog restyle I did which is much more my own style rather than Sami's. So now you'll just have to put up with me so :P.

I did intend to do this months ago when Sami got invited to a blogger's event by make-up company Benefit and I tagged along and realised how cool it is to be able to do things like that and since we've been invited to another one this week I finally decided to give in and figure it all out.

So this first post will be brief, because it's bank holiday Monday and I'm tired after working. But I promise I will blog about the next Benefit event when I get the chance. For now though, you can read through our previous posts or fire me an email and I'll try and respond.
