101 Things in 1001 Days: Update!

I've decided as its the beginning of the year it's time to do an update of my '101 Things in 1001 Days' .

We do in fact have separate pages for each of our lists which you can find here

However after a year not many things have been ticked off, mainly as I spent most of my time finishing my Masters before getting a job in a retail store full time which took up unsociable hours for the 3 months before Christmas.

So I've decided seeing as it has been a year I would like to review my list, update it and possibly change a few that may now be unachievable etc.

I suppose that may be seen as cheating but I'd rather be honest about it and admit defeat on a few of them, and replace them with another task to try and complete instead as I don't want to give up!

Benefit's Coralista Blush

Everybody loves a Benefit blush, they're iconic in their little square boxes now containing a mirror as well as the original style brush.

I have owned Dandelion and Dallas for a few years already, but Coralista is something I have lusted after ever since it came out.

Due to my hair and skin colour this was a colour i knew would instantly suit me, but nevertheless it remained unpurchased until before Christmas where I fell victim to Boots 'Spend £60 on beauty and get £10 of points' offer. 

I love Benefit as a brand particularly their happy approach to packaging and the text found on all products and advertisements.

Rio? I would love that!

The colours on this box are gorgeous and the funky leopard print clashes brilliantly with the turquoise.

You can see the colour of the blush clearly and the slight shimmer that I didn't realise was in the blush but absolutely love.

I also love these brushes, they are much softer than I remember and seem to be the perfect shape for applying blush to my cheeks.

Applied to my arm you can see the shimmer down the middle, it looks really subtle and not glittery as some can look.

Applied to my face you can barely see the shimmer, but can definitely see the colour and how much of a gorgeous one it is!

Since buying this it has not left my face and I've worn it almost every day.

I love the colour and the slight shimmer which makes my skin glow but not overly so, giving a more subtle version of Mac's MSF in soft and gentle if you like.

What do you think of the colour? What's your favourite Benefit Blush box?

I only wish I'd bought it before now!

It's our birthdaaaaaaaay!

It seems to have flashed passed in an instant but today was the day 1 year ago that me and M finally set up our blog and got on with writing about everything that we love about cosmetics, shopping and getting drunk.

This is basically an excuse to fill up a post with pictures of cake, cocktails and pretty sparklers!

Those cakes are amaaaaaazing! 

(All of the images are from Pinterest obviously, it's the go to place for cute pictures like these!)

We're both finally going out on Thursday for our 'Christmas' meal, and I'm sure a few drinks to celebrate our blog being 1 will be had as well.

Thank you so much for reading our blog and sharing it with others, hopefully we will continue to grow over the next few years and who knows what will be in store! :)
