It’s that time people – time to reveal my debut turn as the face of Diet Coke TV for Cork.  I had a really great time covering the Get Glam event with Benefit Cosmetics at Mahon Point SC.  I got my make-up did, watched a masterclass with Benefit supremo Mark (Jedward’s stylist, fact fans – as a closet Jedhead, I may have had a bit of a moment), drank a helluva lot of pop and texted in a lot of codes.  Alas, I did not win anything (that might have been unethical) but my day was definitely prize enough.

This is the finished video – I love how slick it is.  While the last three videos concentrated on the Get Glam make-up looks, in this video we learn about how to get the perfect base.  Remember, without proper foundations the walls may slide, and so will your eyeshadow.

And also, because I love my readers like I love those Ferrero Rocher Easter Eggs, I have some Benefit goodies to bestow upon you.  Yes, I said ‘bestow’.  The prize is THAT grand.

Drumroll please…

I have

• A bottle of Posietint
• They’re Real Mascara
• A sample of the new Oxegen Wow! Foundation
• Something About Sophia Fragrance
• A Creaseless Cream eyeshadow/liner in Samba-dy Loves Me (a nice golden fawn/toasty bronze colour)
