When you wish upon a blog...

Evening honey's 
I'm sure some of you will already be aware of the fairy hobmother (AKA David from appliances online) and how he has been busy giving Santa a serious run for his money by granting wishes and spreading joy around the blogosphere.
A little while ago I left a comment on the lovely Jennie's blog post after reading how her wish had been granted and not long after was granted my very own!

I received a £50 voucher to spend at Amazon.co.uk which I was so over the moon about! And as I am the kind of girl that money burns a hole in my pocket it didn't take me very long to spend...Originally I was going to buy Hunter wellies (Kid's sizes are a bargain just FYI) but then I remembered Amazon sell Make-up and all sensible thinking was swiftly tossed out of the window...
 (Although what I am going to wear on my feet when it snows, I do not know!)

After a tentative search I was happy to find that the item I had in mind was in fact available to purchase from Amazon... 
(Not gonna lie I did a l'il jig!)
Please excuse the dodgy photo's in this post. I am not at home early enough this week to catch the daylight 

So I have been lusting after the Jemma Kidd Light as air foundation for a good few months as Tanya Burr rates it so highly. Then when that pesky enabler Anna also gave it a rave review it became a case of the "have to have's!"
Review to come shortly...

Again sorry for the shoddy picture "/
I also picked up two Make-up books by the truly amazing Make-up artist Rae Morris (sorry for the vom fest!) 'Make-up the ultimate guide' and 'Express Make-up' and I can't tell you how happy I am with them , so far I'm only half way through the ultimate guide but It is, by far, the best Make-up book I have ever read, to me Rae Morris is God! (OK no more, Im over it, I swear )

The fairy hob mother is always watching, so do make sure to leave your wishes in the comments below...

  11. Ooh, I've never tried anything from GK! I struggle with foundation though... needs to be practically white for it to match my skin!
    I loved the brown eye tutorial you did the other day too!
    I could seriously do with some amazon vouchers too! So many books I need to buy (but would probably rather spend it on pretty make up!).. ahh the life of a poor student!

  13. Oh wow, that's amazing. Such a kind thing to do! I've seen some really great reviews for this foundation, really want to try it now! Looking forward to your review. ^_^

    If the Fairy Hobmother was to happen across my comment, I'd also love Amazon vouchers as I'm buying mostly charity gifts this year and a few 'real' gifts would be lovely to throw in!
