Freebie Friday!

First week back at uni over and I couldn't wait for the weekend to come around. I was in the middle of writing an essay this afternoon when I was interrupted by a knock at the door. It was a flying visit from the makeup fairy!

It was Hele; I spied the white Harvey Nichols carrier bag in her hand so decided to let her in for a cup of Earl Grey! Over tea she showed me a few recent purchases before handing me a little black box;

I've wanted this blusher for so long and I've been trying to hunt it down since Christmas but it's always been out of stock. The usual story of NARS counters.

This is Torrid, a gorgeous peachy blusher with gold shimmer, very similar to MAC's Style Blusher if you have that. Can't wait to try it out tomorrow, although I love NARS Sin it's nice to have a change.

Her generosity didn't stop there. Out of her giant handbag she produced several handfuls of empty MAC eyeshadow pots, 18 in total. As you all know, pots mean prizes and with the promise of a free lipstick in it for me, BACK TO MAC we went. So without spending a penny I walked away with Please Me. Thanks Hel!

It's a matte, muted plum rose, hard to describe so take a look for yourself below.

The best makeup in life is free!
