Saturday Catch Up

This week has been a bit of a quite one for me, I've had a few extra days off work which have been nice, I was also a little poorly hence the pretty flowers. A gorgeous Antique shop has opened up really close to where I work so I have been helping out there a bit, the shop is called Encore and it has some really lovely pieces, I actually just purchased the chair pictured which I can't wait to start using. Talking of work how stunning is the Emerald and Diamond teardrop cluster ring we recently got in at the Jewellers, such a beautiful colour. Luca and I have been getting experimental in the kitchen with homemade carrot soup and sweet potato Shepherd's pie, let me know if you would like the recipes.

What have you lovely lot been up to this week?

On The Go Make Up Essentials

You know the feeling.. You have gone to work in a hurry, overslept, or just completely forgotten to do your make up, which may be ok with you but then you realize you have a lunch date and are looking a bit worse for wear? No fear.. the back up supplies are here!

Now we don't need to go overboard here, we want something that says natural and fresh so I am starting by a good brow tidy up, for this I use the Barry M Clear Mascara and Eyebrow Definer, this is great for neatening up those face framers. Looking tired? Try the Maybelline Instant Anti Age The Eraser Eye concealer, this brightens the eye area and covers any dark circles, it also doesn't sit in any of those little fine lines. This can also be used to conceal any redness or blemishes.

The next step is a little bronzing powder and my weapon of choice is of course the Nars Laguna powder, which gives a nice natural contour and warms up the skin tone. Need a little powder to banish un-wanted shine? I turn to the Ben Nye Luxury Powder in Banana, I find this is very light and not at all cakey if I apply it with the Real Techniques powder brush. Finally I apply the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Rendezvous for a 'my lips but better' shade.

Now you can fully enjoy that lunch date knowing you look great!
