Let the games begin ...

It's here the day all your husbands/partners have been waiting for - the day you'll officially get kicked out of the lounge and the television will be dominated by live action replays, post match analysis and if we're lucky a couple of celebrations too.


After a huge build up, the World Cup is officially on! Last night South Africa hosted a kick off concert featuring Alicia Keyes, Shakira and the Black Eyed Peas (which only goes to prove our theory more)

Get Fergies look: Resplendant in Gladiator style, Fergies Make Up was all about the eyes last night. Lashings of black eyeliner (try Liquid Eyeliner) and mascara (try Dream Lashes) gave maximum impact on the stage. Maybe like us, she's just heard about the Hollywood re-make of Cleopatra featuring Angelina Jolie? You heard it here first: Cleopatra style eyeliner is going to be the must have eye make up look (for a step by step guide, try our Get The Look page)

So how is everyone else celebrating the launch of the World Cup? For VIE the fun starts today with a huge lunch of foods from around the world. We're also hoping to spot a couple of footballers legs round the office as we've encouraged the boys to get in their kits ... watch twitter for live updates.
