A whole Cheekathon on board the Good Ship Benefit

benefit-cheekathon-palette-review - 3What if you could have all your cheek makeup needs solved by one fabulous, great value palette?

Well, Benefit granted you that wish. The Cheekathon palette has five shades of blushers and bronzers, to flatter all skin tones.

benefit-cheekathon-palette-review - 1In this palette, you get five full-sized – you read it right: FULL SIZED – blushers and bronzers, including their most loved and best-sellers.

benefit-cheekathon-palette-review - 1What do I get, Dani, you ask. Well…. Apart from the super pretty box (come on!), you get dandelion, the prettiest of ballerina pinks, hoola matte bronzing powder, great for contouring, rockateur rose gold for extra, slightly shimmery glow, dallas, another bronzer, warmer than hoola and CORALista, a pink-coral blusher, my favourite from the lot.

All on my face!!!

All on my face!!!

Now, the beauty of this palette is that you can use one, mix a couple or few or even use them all to create the ultimate look.

Oh, and the price? Only £44.50. Each individual sells for £23.50, so you are getting a lot for your money! What’s not to love?!

You can get the Benefit Cheekathon palette from House of Fraser, where you can also get the whole Benefit range as well as other fabulous makeup.

While I am on the Benefit subject, they have set up a fabulous addition to the Thames: the good ship Benefit, which is our good old H.S. Hispaniola prettified: think pink carpet on the Hoola deck, a They’re Real mascara restaurant (called Lashitude), afternoon tea at the Brow Lounge, a lower deck POREfessional Vault and Pinkton Parlour bars and a fantastic floating boutique, with the whole Benefit range with 10% off. No, not lying.

Prices are £12.50 for shape and £19.50 for shape and tint.

Place is beautifully decorated, with a gorgeous view of Southbank and London Eye/Big Ben, the cocktails are delicious and I hear the food is great too. Check out their website; entry is free and you can also book online!

Fuelling my eye cream obsession with Nivea Q10 Plus

nivea-q10-plus-antiwrinkle-eyecream-review - 2

I have this obsession with eye creams: I use day and night and cannot get enough of it.

Obviously because of ageing, but the skin around my eyes is extra dry, demanding special care. However, I have sensitive eyes, so some eye creams can make my eyes water and puff even more.

I am glad to report the Nivea Q10 Plus Anti Wrinkle Eye Cream works a treat: it’s light, absorbs very quickly and is great for day and night, to use under, on the sides and on eyelids.

The cream works with our skin own ingredients, the coenzyme Q10 and creatine, to reduce dark circles, give back plumpness and fight wrinkles.

Skin feel hydrated and my (very!) fine lines, aggravated by dehydration, are not as evident; makeup does not sit on them.

Obviously so good even my squirrel friend wanted a piece of it!

The Nivea Q10 Plus Anti Wrinkle Eye Cream costs £10.49 for 15ml.
