Desserts Delivered Newcastle

So last year my boyfriend moved up to Newcastle and introduced me to this wonderful company that delivers freshly prepared desserts and treats straight to your door. Yes you heard right - they deliver cake to your door!!

Based in Newcastle, Desserts Delivered are probably my favourite takeaway choice because I've got an awful sweet tooth and therefore they are ideal. They offer a vast choice to appeal to everyone. Their desserts vary from cheesecakes, waffles, gateaus, cupcakes and blondies to pop tarts, wonka nerds and american sodas. So Desserts Delivered pretty much cover everything. If you need your sugar fix this is definitely the place to go.

The sad thing for me is that I don't actually live in Newcastle so when I go up to see my boyfriend we always have it as a treat and he's even occasionally brought a bag full of delicious treat back for us both to sift our way through.

Last week I entered a #DessertsDelivered Instagram competition - all you had to do was upload a fan pic of your food and hashtag #DessertsDelivered, being the lucky soul I am, I was absolutely thrilled when they announced I was the winner. My prize? A free 20 pounds delivery on the chosen day of my choice. Wooohooo.

See my winning picture below:

My standard choice of desserts when we order is usually a mixture of the following:

• Reeses Peanut Butter Cheesecake
• Bailey's Cheesecake
• Strawberry Cheesecake
• Toffee & Daim Crunch Pie (my fave)
• Chocolate Sinsation
• Mint Slice
• Welches Grape Soda

Unfortunately Desserts Delivered are only based up North at present and currently deliver to the following postcodes -  NE1, NE2, NE3, NE4, NE5, NE6, NE7, NE8, NE12 & NE28.However we're hoping it wont be long before they have a bakery/confectionery supplier planted all over for the UK.

MAC Studio Fix Fluid

Not normally one to review/gossip about the latest make up, I usually just buy the products as a necessity, apply it and get on with my day. However, recently it occurred to me how much make up can affect your appearance, the way you apply it can change your look as a whole. I think that foundation is a vital product because it gives your face the smooth canvas to work around. In my younger teenage years I never used to bother much with cosmetics and would tend to just opt for the cheap alternatives as opposed to going for a more ‘luxury brand’. However, in the past year or so I decided to start buying MAC cosmetics because I had heard a lot of hype about the products so thought I might give it a shot. 

Anyway - I’ll cut to the chase. Paying that little bit extra for your make up goes a long way, it has better coverage, a better finish and tends to last a lot longer. I have been using Studio Fix for the past year and now I wouldn’t even think about using another foundation. The consistency of the liquid isn’t too thick therefore you don’t get the ‘caked’ effect, the foundation is thin and can be distributed across the face evenly with little use. I’ve found that the product tends to last me around three months if used in moderation. Personally I believe this would be a great asset to your make up bag and a gift from heaven for your face.
