When Frankie came up North again for a couple of days before she went to Dubai to see her brother we had a day in Leeds where we spent too much money and ate nice food and I got a new piercing.
Bought make-up, a new pencil case, boring stuff for the flat and a few other things. We had lunch at Wetherspoons and I had a bbq chicken and bacon panini, so so good, I love paninis.
I needed a new eyeliner and as Debenhams is one of the only places that sells the Benefit eyeliner that I use that's where we headed. Sadly, since the last time I bought one they've stopped making it. Whaaat. They have however made pretty much the same one but a long thin one as opposed to the very chunky one they made before. We ended up deciding to get ourselves 'matched up' to the right foundation etc for our skin at the Benefit counter which resulted in us buying some very expensive make-up. Oops. It is really really nice though. Here is what I got. The photos are not my own:

I also bought a brush to put the foundation on with as I don't usually wear liquid foundation. I got this 'Eco tools' one from /boots and it is amazing. It is so soft and great to put make-up on with. Good purchase.

I really should learn to take better pictures of things just in case I actually remember to do a blog post but the inside is so pretty. It comes with a little mirror inside the lid and and a lovely soft angled brush. There is a swirl of different coloured blushes inside and you get them all on the brush at once and it makes a lovely peachy shade and just it's so good, I love it!
I also used up the last of my 'Bad Gal' mascara which meant it was a good time for me to try out my 'They're real!' mascara that my Dad got me for Christmas. It is a godsend. Wow. Absolutely amazing, makes my eyelashes look huge and lasts all day too. So so good.
So in conclusion, current Benefit products I am using are:
- 'It stick' concealer
- 'Hello Flawless, Oxygen Wow' foundation
- 'Hervana' blusher
- 'Bad Gal' eyeliner
- 'They're real!' mascara
They are honestly all so great to use, I feel like I look completely different since switching foundation and it feels good. I still use Barry M liquid eyeliner as it's what I've always used and a cheaper eyebrow pencil.
I've been considering buying 'The POREfessional' from Benefit as well as although I do have pretty okay skin I feel that I still need to use a primer to make all my skin even. As the lady that did our make-up said 'you wouldn't want to paint on a bumpy canvas' and I feel that using a primer would give my make-up an overall better look. but we'll have to see, it's pretty expensive :(

Conclusion is: the result of me not going out loads and spending money on alcohol all the time is me buying new pretty make-up and really really enjoying it. It really does pay off to spend a little bit more.
