Documenting the lives of the rich, famous and oh-so-glamorous, The Real Housewives of Cheshire welcomes us, the viewer, to take a step into the wonderful world of the super beautiful, ultra-privileged women who form part of Cheshire's most elite social circle.
Each episode is brimming with the inevitable glitz and glamour of Cheshire life, however, the show has also become famous for its almighty rows, eye-rolling and totes awks moments - which we also absolutely love.
But, as we fast-forward to the current 5th series, admittedly, the show has indeed lost some incredibly entertaining and well-liked characters...
I am, of course, referring to the fierce, feisty and totally fabulous, Magali Gorre.
With her flawless complexion, enviable wardrobe and hilariously quotable one-liners ('when you cross me, you better don't cross me - don't mess with Magali', being my personal favourite), the stunningly glamorous ex WAG come author and columnist is sorely missed, and has definitely left a Magali-shaped hole in RHOC since she first departed the show after the second series.
In my opinion, Magali was (and is) the most genuine and lovable of all the housewives. So, when I learned that Magali was running a competition to meet the leading mama and spend a fizz-filled evening with herself and four other lucky winners, I simply had to get involved.
In order to take part in the competition, entrants were asked to subscribe to Magali's *incredibly entertaining* YouTube channel, and leave a comment on her Instagram explaining why they wanted to meet Magali.
And guess what? Lucky little me over here only went and won!
Smiling from ear-to-ear, I immediately, began to plan what I would wear, how I would do my makeup - and everything else we women think about before a big night out. Magali had already messaged to inform me that the dress code was 'classy, fabulous and picture-ready', so the pressure was most certainly on.
But, before long, I decided on a lovely white skirt and blazer combo, together with a khaki-coloured, ribbed, sleeveless top and a pair of classic, pointed, nude heels from Office - very sophisticated, but uber-glam, too.
In terms of my makeup, I opted for my usual natural-looking base (if you minus the highlight), and topped the whole look off with KIKO's amazing eye shadow in 200 (a gorgeous goldy-bronze colour), lashings of black mascara, and my beautiful 'HOT GOSSIP' lippie from MAC - perfect.
And, once I had teamed everything together just a couple of hours before the luxury meet-up was due to take place, I was full of confidence in both my outfit choice and my makeup.
So, all dressed up and ready to go, my parents drove my down to The Belle Epoque, Knutsford, for an evening that would turn out to be the best night out that I've had in ages!
Out of all five winners, I was first to arrive at the restaurant, and was offered a lovely flute of prosecco to kick off the evening in style. Then, before too long, the other lucky winners and Magali herself began to flood in, too.
All of the girls looked fabulous - everyone was really glam and had clearly made a huge effort with what they wore, their hair and their makeup, which was lovely. And, of course, Magali looked stunning.
Dressed in a stunning white maxi skirt and top, Magali added a pop of colour to her outfit with a gorgeous cropped bomber jacket, which was embroidered with the most gorgeous bright shades. In terms of accessories, Magali went all-out glamour, which I just loved. There were lots of bright, punchy, summer colours, together with lots of gorgeous diamonds - I literally couldn't stop staring at the incredible yellow diamond ring she was wearing - it was just beautiful!
Magali's whole look was just chic and flawless in every way, but what really stood out to me the most was her complexion. Although she wore makeup, her whole look was just so natural and elegant, and she had the most beautiful skin I think I've ever seen. She just oozed radiance, and when she informed me that she did all of her makeup herself, I was even more impressed.
It wasn't just her looks that Magali had perfected, though. As well as looking red-carpet ready, Magali had ensured that the entire event was equally impressive.
As Magali's PA led us to our seats, I, and all the other girls, were equally overwhelmed as we arrived at our luxuriously-decorated, gift-laden table. Full to the brim with goodie-bags, flowers, and all things girly, it suddenly occurred to me that this night not only meant a lot to us winners, but to Magali herself. She had clearly put in a lot of effort to make everything absolutely perfect, and she honestly couldn't have made it more amazing for us.
We were completely showered with gifts - from hair care and beauty goodies, to bespoke, hand-made lollipops and gorgeous jewellery, Magali went above and beyond to welcome us into #magaliworld in true style.
And the food was amazing, too!
In many ways, it didn't feel like we were dining with Magali Gorre from The Real Housewives of Cheshire, it felt more as though we were enjoying a nice catch-up with an old friend. Naturally, she was keen to talk to us all about The Real Housewives, but she was equally interested to hear more about us and what was going on in our lives. I told her all about my wedding, my blog, my career aspirations and tons more - and she couldn't have been more encouraging and excited for me.
I feel so lucky to have been chosen by Magali to enjoy such a wonderful evening - it really was so much fun and I can't wait to do it all again at some point in the future (Magali has already suggested a reunion!)
We love you, Queen Magali.
Lots of love,
Grace x
