Because of RamadanI haven't spent money on food this month so I've had a splurge on makeup. Haven't had time to make dedicated posts yet but here's a lil glimpse of what my upcoming posts will be on.

Cheryl Cole covers Vogue October 2010

The nation's sweetheart looking utterly gorgeous in the October issue of Vogue. I'm so envious of her simple but flawless makeup. She sure has come a long way from this.
My everyday essentials
I enjoy reading posts like these so thought I would do one of my own.
1. I apply my concealer first and I use Select Moisturecover in NC42 which does a brilliant job at covering my dark circles. So far, this is the best concealer I've tried as its easy to blend in and doesn't cake or settle in my fine lines.
2. Using my ELF Complexion brush, I apply MSFN in Medium Dark over my concealer and on my eyelids.
3. The 209 eyeliner brush is amazing and helps to create a fine line - I have the small SE version. I use this with Blacktrack Fluidline because it does not budge or fade at all.
4. I then line my waterline with Urban Decay 24/7 pencil in Zero which sadly isn't 100% waterproof with my watery eyes but is super black (unlike Gosh's Velvet touch pencils). Next comes mascara of which I'm currently using Maybelline's Colossal.
5. Lastly, I use my favourite brush ever, ELF's powder one to apply my blush and I usually turn to Coral by Sleek.
These are the very basics which I use everyday without fail, although the blush and mascara are interchangeable. If you've done a post like this (or are planning to), leave me a link so I can have a nosey :)
P.S. I wrote down the entrants for my Naked Coco de Mer bathfoam giveaway on pieces of paper and my little brother picked out Becky from Style and The City. Congrats! xx

Bare Minerals free sample offer
I noticed this tucked away in the corner of the fashion page of Thursday's Metro newspaper. A friend of mine swears by this so I was eager to get a sample. I made my way to my nearest counter (Selfridges) after work but was told straight up by the SA that there was no point as the only colours she had were Light and Beige. I don't know if this is just the case for Selfridges or everywhere but booooo.
I'm not sure if this is being printed everyday or just Thursday's issue but perhaps you can print off the page from the e-edition?
