When we first saw this red wine grilled cheese on Delish, we were met with utter confusion.

We're super foodies here in Shemazing! HQ, and even though red wine and cheese separately is like a match made in heaven, slopping both of them together just sounded super-weird.

We were probably thinking waaay too much into this, so last night we decided to try it for ourselves… and it was a treat.

It was gooey and creamy, all the while having that dark, delicious red wine taste linger with every bite. And it was pretty easy to make.

All you have to do is make a grilled cheese like you normally would, and then make a red wine reduction, which you can find a recipe for here.

Now, relax, pour yourself a glass of vino and eat that beautiful mess.

The influencer spoke today at the Irish Bloggers Conference, and shared some of her best-kept Instagram secrets; key tips to creating the perfect feed.

Everyone knows that editing is one of the most important elements on Instagram, and external editing apps are the best way to achieve a flawless filter without looking too fake.

Saving your money for the perfect outfit can be hard enough, so Anouska revealed her top three free photography apps.

The blogger merited her gorgeous snaps to VSCO Cam, SnapSeed and Afterlight, all free from the app store.

Aesthetics also play a key part in Anouska's mastermind social media strategy. 

"Consistency is key with your Instagram," Anouska told the audience.

"Don't post random photos. Be consistent and think about aesthetics," she said, citing a well-planned photo layout as the best way to up your follower count.

If you're not one to religiously plan Instagram pictures, and prefer to go with the flow; never fear.

The blogger, who was there to share her expertise with the up-and-coming social media stars in the crowd, reminded them to remain true to their own niche.

It's not always easy to achieve the perfect photo, as Anouska admitted to using up to five apps on her photos. We might stick to good old Valencia.

So we all love a sneaky McDonald's every now and again, and it's safe to say many of us opt for the Big Mac as our main meal.

The two-burger patty is drenched with Maccy D's secret sauce, and while we're lobbing the calories into us, it's just so, so tasty.

Then why change it, you ask? Well, the fast food chain isn't actually changing any of the ingredients, BUT it has created the Mac Jr and the Grand Mac.

Basically, a smaller and bigger version of the burger. But people are fuming.

In April, it was only supplied to chains in Texas, but after scoring a major hit, it was rolled out to all US states this week.

However, many people are still complaining:

We're guessing if they're a hit in America, they're going to be rolled out over here too. Brace yourselves…

Party season is well and truly here, but we simply cannot face wearing killer heels to all the fabulous parties and events we'll be attending (literally, 12 pubs, though).

So, rather than facing the pain of rocking killer heels, why not invest in a gorgeous pair of flats?

Check out our six favourite flats for the festive time of year…

Pretty in pink

How pretty are these beauties from ASOS? Embrace your inner ballerina. 

Animalistic

Nothing spices up an outfit quite like a splash of leopard print. Check out these gorgeous flats from New Look. 

Silver

Add a little bit of glitz and glamour to your outfit with these gorgeous metallic pumps from Missguided.

Velvet

Velvet is the look of the season, and your shoes should be no exception.

Loafer

We are loving loafers at the moment. They are the perfect shoes for that office lunch you may have coming up! 

Pom pom power

These are just SO much fun! The fact that they're black means they'll pretty much go with every outfit. 

Get those dancing shoes on, ladies!

Ah, Ryan. You did us proud last night.

Since it was announced that Katie Hopkins had an appearance on the Late Late, basically the entire population protested against it because, well… let's just say she's not exactly our type of person.

With most interviews, it's all about keeping the celeb more-or-less content, but that was far from Ryan's mind last night.

As Katie acted up like she usually does, Tubbers was taking no BS, even going as far as telling her she's acting like a child (which she was).

And the people of Ireland LOVED it:

Fair play Ryan, we love you even more now.

We're all a little obsessed with finding out what makeup our favourite celebrities apply to their famous faces.

Unveiling the celebrities' best kept beauty secrets can be a full-time job, but luckily there's a brand new app coming our way that's committed to the cause.

Metix is coming to the rescue, and could change the way we find our favourite beauty bits forever.

The upcoming app gives you all the info on what celebrities, makeup artists and influencers are wearing, and lets you to shop the look directly.

Jennifer Metix, the app founder and up-and-coming #girlboss, wants to bring the ultimate digital beauty experience to your smart phone.

'It is linking social media and shopping, specifically in the beauty space," Jennifer told the Coffee with Dani podcast.

"If someone wears something, it's quite easy to find out where they got it from; but if you're using products for your face or your hair, it's really difficult to know exactly what eye shadow you're wearing, or what mascara, or if your hair always looks amazing and you've got a specific tool that you use," she explained.

"It allows celebrities, bloggers, makeup artists to upload what they use, and then you can buy it within the app," she added.

The app is also for people who are thinking about buying that new blusher, but want to see it on someone first. Metix will allow beauty junkies to essentially try before they buy and get recommendations.

The launch date is November 22nd, so keep your eye on the app store for its big reveal.

Shia LaBeouf is a jack of all trades: he acts, he dances, he directs and he RAPS (we're as surprised as you are). 

Shia, who has become widely known for that one time he cried watching himself act,  showed off his rapping abilities on Friday morning.

The 30-year-old was on Sway Calloway's radio show, Sway in the Morning, which aired in America. 

One segment of this radio show is called the "five fingers of death" and it is basically a freestyle challenge for guests of the show. 

Shia nailed it, and literally stunned everybody in the room at the time. 

The actor even mentioned the fact that he has tattoos dedicated to Tupac, Biggie and Missy Elliot, another thing we had no idea about.

Check out the video, and prepare to be impressed.

Kim Kardashian has maintained a five-week silence on her social media platforms (aside from one ‘unintended’ slip-up) ever since her horrific ordeal during that Paris robbery.

Clearly, the mega-star has been left totally shaken by the incident, and it’s totally understandable that she would need some space from her multimillion legion of fans.

However, Kim is the kween of Halloween, and we’ve got to say, we missed the posts documenting her AMAZING festive outfits.

This is why Kris Jenner is our hero of the day, after sharing a snapshot of one of Kim’s EPIC outfits from Halloween 2016.

This weekend, Kris posted an Insta-photo of Kim and daughter North dressed in matching Princess Jasmine costumes, and it’s as cool as it is adorable.

Clearly, the Disney Princess is a particular favourite of Kim’s, as she sported the very same costume all the way back in 2009 – that’s pre-Kanye, so, basically, a LIFETIME ago!

Little Saint wasn’t about to miss out on the action, either; in a selection of photos shared to Kim’s app by brother Rob, the adorable tot is seen sitting on a ‘magic carpet’ beside his sister, dressed as Aladdin!

Halloween wouldn't be Halloween without Kim's offering. We're glad she's back!

If anyone has serious FOMO that they're not over in New York at the moment to watch Irishman Conor McGregor fight Eddie Alvarez in UFC205, then fear not, because the Macmojis are here.

Yep, the Dublin native has debuted his own emojis, and we have to say, they're pretty funny.

Fans can download the Macmoji app where they will find many hilarious emojis such as Conor throwing cans of Monster, him knocking Aldo out in 13 seconds, a pot of gold, and even him holding up two belts, which he's going to try to do for real tonight.

With the Macmojis only going live yesterday, the app has already hit the top of Apple's charts.

You can download the app on Google Play and at the App Store now.

Ah Cara, we always love checking out your new tattoos.

The former Victoria's Secret model's latest piece of ink is a snake, and it's absolutely gorgeous.

Tattoo artist to the stars (and the general public, if you can afford him) Dr Woo completed this piece of art, which is located on Cara's hand.

Another interesting fact about this intricate little snake tattoo is that it was designed by Amber Heard (Johnny Depp's ex).

Amber, who is great friends with Cara, is an artist in her spare time, when she's not acting.

This snake tattoo is one of many gorgeous pieces of art Cara Delevingne has on her body, our favourite being the lion on her finger. 

We are loving this snake; it has serious Harry Potter vibes.

We'll be honest, it's been a pretty stressful week.

From Donald Trump becoming the president-elect of the US, to Mark Zuckerberg killing us all on Facebook, we've had a lot to handle.

And in these times, many get comfort from the odd meme or gif on social media… but that might not be allowed in Spain anymore.

Confused? Well, the Spanish Prime Minister wants to ban to use of memes (apparently, because of the sudden surge in Donald Trump memes used this week).

According to The Debrief, "the scheme was put before Congress, and would restrict the use of ‘spreading images that infringed the honour of a person'."

So, that basically means any meme that ever existed.

"The Popular Party politicians requested that the law was included within the Citizens Security Law, a legislation introduced last year that is also known as the ‘gag law’, as it curbs online activism and protests."

Of course, many don't like the direction the Prime Minister is going in, so we're just going to have to wait and see what happens.
