Benefit Makeover Day :)

So today after I finished at University today, myself and my friend Rose went to get our make-up done at the benefit counter in House of Fraser! The same girl always works there and she's so lovely! She gave me a beautiful look with a plum lip! Although she wanted to do a more coral look, I am too scared of orange tones and asked for a more dramatic lip :) 

In the end I purchased a couple of products! I bought their triple performance moisturiser! Which I'd previously used as a sample and it did wonders for my skin! She also gave me two samples of it again to use up before I open my bottle! Te packaging is so beautiful I don't want to taint it just yet :) I also bought the browzings palette that she used on me in light. I never tend to my brows like I should but it makes such a difference to my face so was definitely worth the price! (£22.50). Finally, I bought the lipstick she had used on me! It's called sassy frass and I actually asked her to use this one in particular! It is a beautiful plum colour and makes my green eyes pop! Much love! This wasn't too expensive although more than MAC at £14.00 but it's very creamy and I may be purchasing some more when my bank account is looking wealthier - its been battered recently, poor thing! 

Today's Purchases! Eek.

Benefit Lipstick in Sassy Fassy!

My Sample Goodies.

She also told me about working for benefit and being a make up counter girl & she's inspired me to apply for some vacancies in my area :)! She was sad that I hadn't mentioned it last time because she'd just taken on two girls to work my perfect hours - devastated! Hopefully one day I'll be selling make-up and doing make overs! As I said, my benefit lady is lovely & gave me some free sample products! We got porefessionals make up bags which I'm going to use to keep all my daily skin care products in! She also gave me a couple of perfume samples, a shower gel mini from Molton Brown & a pack of mascara wands to use for my eyebrows :) I love freebies! 

Forgot to mention, I also picked up a dress I had ordered from Miss Selfridge! It's this gorgeous black and white flock dress, that's such beautiful quality & fit! I almost didn't get it as when I went in the store, the sales woman said they only had it in size 10 and below. And she just walked off. Sorry I have a curvy figure and require the dreaded size 12! When I looked most of the petite section I.e under 5ft3 only had small sizes, biased much :(! Plus ordering your size in costs £2.00 delivery! Not happy! But the dress is beautiful, so they are forgiven, for now! I'm also considering getting one of their store cards, paying it off immediately every month just to improve my credit rating! Feel so old thinking years in advance for a mortgage!

Now this beautiful blizzard has reached Nottingham, I think the rest of my day will consist of pyjamas and Harry potter, with a hint of university work thrown in! Although, my boyfriend has just put on 'Sharktopus' - a film where the main villian is a shark-octopus hybrid. LORD>! It's also a PG, so is not terrifying in the least, just hilariously tacky! The acting is horrendous, but I can't look away!

Have a lovely snow day everyone :)
