For the next two years, we will be living with a void in our hearts, where Game of Thrones used to be.

Most people will grin and bear it, secretly counting down the days until we can return to Westeros.

However, WE will be spending our time investing in all the merchandise we can find, from makeup to booze (and everything in-between).

With that in mind, we are pleased (and SO excited) to introduce you to the 'Dragon Fire' palette, courtesy of the magical humans at Storybook Cosmetics.

That's right ladies, there is an eyeshadow palette coming out that is completely inspired by our girl, Daenerys Targaryen.

The dreamy cosmetic company just posted a photo to their Instagram saying that they're creating a brand new palette, captioning it: "Dragon Fire Storybook Palette! Artwork approved, onto sample printing and finishing our fire shades!" 

So, while no actual shades have been released, we can pretty much assume that the colours will be warm and wonderful.

And if we're being totally honest – we don't really care what the colours are like, because we love Khaleesi so much.

While you wait for this inevitably awesome new palette, why not try Storybook's other Game of Thrones-inspired goodies?

Though their products are not official GoT produce, they're clearly inspired by the fictional world we wish we lived in. Take their dragon scale lipsticks, which went pretty viral online recently.

There is no official release date yet for the Dragon Fire palette, but you can follow Storybook Cosmetics on Instagram here for information.

We're SO EXCITED!

An investigation has been launched after a Parcel Motel depot in Lucan was raid by thieves.

The incident happened at the facility on the Newcastle Road at around 2am on Monday morning.

The Parcel Motel service allows customers to have their online purchases brought to a designated depot should they not be available at the time the delivery is due to arrive.

Various purchases were stolen after thieves forced open a number of compartments, though exact figures are not yet known.

Customers using the Adamstown depot at the Maxol Service station have been re-directed to the Lucan facility located at Texaco on the N4.

Any customers who had parcels stored at the location have been advised to email the company directly at support@parcelmotel.com

A spokesperson for the company said: “For any customers wishing to send a parcel, your label is valid at any other Parcel Motel location in the country.”

“When our Adamstown location is back up and running, we will advise customers to let them know.”

“Apologies for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience.”

Garda investigations are ongoing.

So, while a lot people who choose to follow a vegan diet are generally satisfied with the plant-based food products available to them, most will admit there are a few things they miss.

Sure, there are a number of alternatives on offer – vegan cheese, yogurt, and even chicken, to name just a few.

But there is one food product plant-based enthusiasts have not been able to replicate – until now.

Four clever food science students from the University of Udine in Italy have created a product that looks, feels and tastes exactly like a hard-boiled egg.

According to Food Navigator, it's made from a selection of legume plants (such as beans, pulses and peas), vegetable oils, a gelling agent and vegan salt.

The 'egg' is packed with protein, but unlike the real thing, it's completely cholesterol-free.

The university is reportedly in talks with companies who might be interested in manufacturing the product, meaning it could be hitting our shelves sooner rather than later.

What a time to be alive!

A survey conducted by the infamous cheating website, Victoria Milan, has revealed that Irish men the most likely to become angry when denied sex.

For the study, researchers asked 9,507 females from 23 countries to note how men react to rejection in the bedroom – and the results were very interesting indeed.

Worryingly, anger or aggressive behaviour was the most common response, with men form Ireland, Hungary and Portugal proving to be the biggest offenders.

According to the website, this unacceptable reaction is likely caused by a need to mask the deep feeling of embarrassment.

Boo-frickin-hoo.

The next most common reaction came in the form of the silent treatment, with Austrian, Swiss, Finnish and Norwegian men most likely to give their partners the cold shoulder.

Reasoning, pleading and manipulation were also common with men from Czech Republic, Greece, France, New Zealand and Poland often finding themselves barred form the bedroom by women who are sick of their tactics.

But, all hope is not lost. There actually are some men out there who can handle the rejection and don't apply pressure.

Men from Australia, Netherlands, Sweden, The UK and The United States were all found to be respectful of their partners wishes – so, you'll just need to start looking a bit further afield.

After almost 10 years together, one of Hollywood's most beloved couples have decided to call it quits.

According to US Weekly, Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen have called time on their decade-long relationship and are now living in separate cities.

The pair, both 36, welcomed their daughter Briar Rose in October 2014.

A source told the magazine: “They’ve been on the outs for a couple of months. They are completely, officially done.”

Ouch.

Rachel and Hayden met back in 2009 on the set of Jumper, and were engaged shortly after, though a brief blip in the relationship saw the couple call of their engagement in 2010.

However, the separation didn't last long and the pair reconciled three months later.

In a 2013 in interview with Cosmopolitan, the O.C actress opened up about their relationship.

“I'm a really good girlfriend — I always put all that first in my life. I'm definitely the person who would make him his favourite dinner to come home to.”

“I love to cook, so we make dinner at home a lot and watch movies.”

In a follow up interview with Cosmopolitan UK opened up about her love of romance:

“To have a partner is one of the greatest things. I've always been a fan of love! I love any movie or book or anything to do with love because I'm a romantic.”

First Chris and Anna, now Rachel and Hayden?

Sorry guys, love is officially dead.

At least 226 people have died after a strong earthquake struck central Mexico yesterday evening.

The death toll was confirmed by the country's civil defence agency, though it is feared that number may rise as rescue crews and volunteers search through rubble in hope of finding survivors who may still be trapped.

The 7.1 magnitude quake caused widespread devastation in the capital and neighbouring states.

Disaster struck just hours after a number of emergency drills were conducted exactly 32 years after a similar quake killed thousands in Mexico city.

More than 20 children and two adults were found dead at a school in Coapa and President Enrique Peña Nieto said a further 30 children and 12 adults are missing.

Approximately 2 million people in the Mexico City were left without electricity or phone lines and residents were warned not to smoke on the street as gas mains could have been broken.

In a televised address, the president said an emergency had been declared.

"We may still find people under the rubble. Stay in touch, follow lines of communication, we will keep people updated," he said.

According to US Geological Survey, the tremor struck close to the town of Atencingo in the central state of Puebla, 76 miles southeast of Mexico City.

The devastating quake comes just weeks after an 8.1 magnitude tremor killed at least 90 people in southern Mexico.

Ariel Winters has long been the target of salacious tabloid headlines about her body. 

The Modern Family star has officially decided that enough is enough, and has posted some words of retalliation to her Instagram. 

Taking to the social media platform, the actress published a long rant that said so much about her thoughts on how she is perceived by the world because of her body. 

'Something I wish people would realise…I am not TRYING to be featured on Snapchat, I am not trying to be pap'd everywhere I do, I am literally just LIVING and unfortunately, I can't do that without paparazzi following me around everyday,' she began.

 

A post shared by ARIEL WINTER (@arielwinter) on

'I'm not trying to show you my ass in shorts when I go to the grocery store. I'm trying to live my life. People wear shorts. People have wardrobe malfunctions. No one is perfect.'

The 19-year-ols star went on to call out those who say she dresses inappropriately. 

'I'm not a stylist! I don't know what to wear everyday so I look 'appropriate' or 'fashionable.' Also, screw having to always look appropriate or fashionable. For what? Society?'

 

A post shared by ARIEL WINTER (@arielwinter) on

'Who gets to decide what is appropriate or fashionable???? I wear what I like and no one should fault me for that.'

'I don't want people to constantly see me in the news for going to dinner, or grocery shopping, or anything. I want to be in the news when I ASK for it by going to a publicised event, or EVEN BETTER when I have work out/coming out!'

'So trust me, I don't want to see me in shorts putting water in my car every single day as much as you don't.'

 

A post shared by ARIEL WINTER (@arielwinter) on

The star went on to slate those who have latched on to comments she made in a recent interview in which she discussed the way she was dressed as a child. 

'I'd also like to address the tweets I get saying 'you accused your mother of sexualising you yet you're a whore.' I was a CHILD being dressed like I was 24. I was 8-13 years old.'

'I wasn't an ADULT as I am now.'

'As you mature at 16, 17, 18 you further develop your own identity and can make decisions for yourself.'

 

A post shared by ARIEL WINTER (@arielwinter) on

'As a child, you do as you're told regardless of what is good for you,' she explained.

'I'm an ADULT now, who can make my own choices and have my own identity.'

'And just because I DECIDE to show my body occasionally doesn't mean I'm unintelligent or that I'm talentless or that I have no self respect."

Hear hear, gal, hear hear.

You know that fear you get as you rock up to a special event, PRAYING that nobody is wearing the same outfit as you?

 Every time I attend a wedding, there is that tiny glimmer of fear that someone will be donning the same dress as me.

How would you react if FIVE people were wearing the same dress as you? Because this actually happened recently. 

Image result for AWKWARD

Six women attended a wedding earlier this month, wearing the exact same navy dress from Forever New.

Seriously #awkward case of 'who wore it better' if you ask me…

However, the ladies were absolute trooper about the whole situation, and even posed for a photo with the bride. 

Don't they actually look like they're the bridesmaids? It was our first thought! 

One of these lovely ladies actually shared the picture on Forever New's Facebook page, and it has since garnered quite a bit of attention online. 

You really should start a bridal registry so that your customers can enquire whether anyone else has purchased one of your dresses for the same event. No we are NOT the bridesmaids just the guests. I think I deserve a gift voucher for all this advertisement.

The post has amassed over 40,000 likes on Facebook, with thousands commenting on the hilarity of the situation. 

This is taking twinning to a whole new level.
