As you've probably already seen if you follow my instagram, last week was my birthday and not only was I spoilt rotten with some lovely gifts but Darren and I also took a three day trip to London where a whole lot of shopping, eating and clichéd sight-seeing went down. I absolutely Love everything about the city and sometimes feel like packing my life up and moving there!
Products of the Week: Step up Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation. We may have had our reaction-related problems in the past but after a quick patch test at the counter and a nervous five minute wander around the Selfridges Beauty Hall all was well and I scampered back to pick up the foundation that's been on my face all week long. Covering yet light, creamy and radiant I truly think this is the start of a love affair.
On the Wishlist: Thanks to this weeks shopping extravaganza there's not a single product on my mental wishlist that I didn't get my hands on.. except one. After making my way through Selfridges, Liberty and three separate Spake NK's the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in Vanilla has completely eluded me. Do I take this as a sign or carry on my pursuit for what's hailed as one mighty cover-up, only time and my patience will tell!
Can't-Stop-Staring-at-My-Nails Colour of the Week: Adding to the ever growing list of 'Things that Kate made me buy' comes Essie's Watermelon. I'm never one to go for pink nails, ever, but recently they've been calling out to me and something about this rich juicy shade oozed sophistication but also looks incredibly fun when dressed down. I officially love it.
