I picked up the most boring shade of eyeshadow I have ever seen a few weeks ago, Rimmel 246 Taupe.  They were giving this particular shade to customers with their sale for €1, who was I to say no. Boring right? Why is that I have been using it every day since? Turns out that boring shadows are...

I hate to bring negativity to M&B but this was unavoidable. I have been contacted by several companies in the last week who have informed me that there is someone pretending to be me to get products.
