The Christmas Post

Firstly I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas full with lots of laughter and love. I spent the morning at my boyfriends house after a late night at the pub then went back to my family home to open presents and go for a walk in the forest followed by a massive dinner. I then watched the not so critically acclaimed film Johnny English Reborn whilst eating leftovers with potato salad.

I asked Santa Clause for a jewellery box and Urban Decays Naked Palette and Estee Lauders Intense Night Repair. I also got a poster that I received for free from Chanel's Little Black Jacket exhibition framed for me. Lucky for me he was feeling generous and also got me a gorgeous digital radio and lots of Lush and Soap and Glory goodies. My boyfriend bought me a build a bear, Ciate nail caviar set and a ted baker make up set amongst other cute little things from Urban Outfitters. I love receiving books for Christmas and this year got Cheryl Coles biography ( I come from a family of Geordies so its in the blood to love Cheryl and And and Dec) I also received a copy of Perks Of Being A Wallflower.

Here are a few snapshots of what Santa got me...

Dirty Works- Bye Bye Dark Cirlces

This was very much an impulse buy but I am so pleased that I picked it up! It is from a brand called 'Dirty Works' which I don't really know much about it, the style of the brand reminded me very much of Soap and Glory which I love. Dirty Works is sold exclusively in supermarket Sainsburys. The brand also sells body scrubs and lotions again similar to Soap and Glory.....  

I chose to get Dirty Works dark circles concealer for £4.99. It comes in a sweet square compact perfect to carry around in your bag. Inside each side of the cube contains a creamy concealer in two different shades one a pale beige and the other a has a slight pinky tone. This mean it will work for most skin tones and you can blend the two colours together to create the perfect match for your skin. I dab the concealer under my eyes for an instant cover up.

It also contains aloe vera and vitamin E so is soothing and moisturising on the skin. Even though its meant to be just for under eyes I also use it on blemishes and works nicely. But it does have a shiny finish to it.

Overall I am very impressed with Dirty Works Bye Bye Dark Circles, its easy to apply and works well. Not bad at all for a product that you only get from a supermarket!

(Also apologies that the product is a bit grubby in the photos, but that just shows how much i've used it!)
