Balayage | Before & After

OPI | As Steady As She Rose



Desperately need recommendations on a similar shade to this one. I'm getting in an awful habit of getting acrylics done from the salon, my nails are gonna hate me soon! The shade I'm wearing is by OPI and is called As Steady As She Rose....however. It's a discontinued shade and more or less ancient. So any recommendations for something similar is more than welcome!

Benefit x House of Fraser | Cheekathon









A few weeks ago, I was invited by House of Fraser to the launch (and learn) event of Benefit’s Cheekathon Palette* which was held at the Benefit Good Ship over by the Embankment in London.  It was such a stunning day in London that day, bear in mind this was back in April, and the view was just incredible as the weather was beaut and it was right opposite the London Eye, I definitely think the Good Ship has the best view in London town #justsayin

The event consisted of cocktails, cake pops, a makeup lesson by Lauren from Benefit on how to use the Cheekathon palette as well as the opportunity to get a brow wax and shop all of Benefit’s cult products. I do love Benefit as a brand from the products they sell to their branding. It was really great to learn about the Cheekathon palette, as it consists of Benefit’s iconic powders; Hoola, Dallas, Dandelion, Coralista and the amazing highlighter; Rockateur as well as a small brush which is great for contouring FYI! The palette is amazing, and also has a mirror too. I’ve been using the palette everyday versus my normal contour/highlighter (Anastasia Beverly Hills) and can truly say it’s an amazing palette, as you can see this post is pretty picture heavy!

The palette is £44.50 which includes 5 full sized blushes/contours/highlighters which retail at £23.50 each. I’m a NC30 in MAC’s Studio Fix Foundation, and I can wear all of the shades in this palette. On a daily basis, I use 4 out of 5 on my face, I would so use the 5th blush if it was acceptable to use 2 blushes!

The Good Ship was amazing and is actually open to the public throughout summer as they have a Pinkton Parlour Bar, a Brow Bar where you can come in and get a wax and everything goes to charity, and a Lashitude Restaurant where you can stop by for lunch, tea and bottomless brunches Find out more about what’s going on at The Good Ship here and if you want to check out the Cheekathon Palette (I highly suggest you do) check it out here.
