Behind the Scenes: The Courier Christmas Shoot

As you might have noticed we've been a little quiet lately…sadly this is due to third year woes and dissertation deadlines but we're back on form with loads of exciting things coming up!

This week we were both working on The Courier Christmas fashion shoot which was really exciting and slightly wet (Newcastle isn't famous for it's fabulous weather). We were shooting at the ice rink at the Centre for Life which was getting us in the Christmassy mood. 

The theme was all about wrapping up in winter with the ladies sporting smokey eyes and nude lips. Here's a little sneak peak from behind the scenes…

It would have to be a toss up between Fashion winning best online section of The Courier (And our prize of several bottles of wine) & meeting the a-mazing blogger Zoe Griffin! Here's a couple pics of us with the other Fashion & Beauty writers...
