Make Up Mondays!

Avoiding the January blues, I headed down to London for a short break to see the bf before starting back at work. I went with all the best intentions to capture some famous London Street Style for the blog... But no. Sleep and food took over and I was yet again far too lazy. We did however, venture out on the Saturday to the London Boat Show as guests of Fairline. I wasn't expecting to have quite as much fun as I did however,  the endless amount of free champagne in the VIP section did help.





After we had drank the bar dry and finished wandering on and off the luxurious 100ft+ motor yachts, we headed back into central London for some shopping and a bite to eat. And some bite to eat this turned out to be- more on this later.
Just now I thought I would share some of the goodies I got....


I had to try the NARS Bronzer & Blush after reading and hearing so many amazing things about it! I'm a Benefit Hoola or MAC girl at heart, but NARS...I'm surprised to say is taking pride of place in my daily make-up bag! The Colour of the Bronzer is 'Laguna' & the Blush is...em...'Deep Throat'. Less said on that, the better! The next thing in the goodie bag is the multiple from NARS 'Lamu' colour. Works well on cheek bones and around eyes for a night time shimmer.



The By Terry Touch Expert works well on bags round the eyes, however, I think I'll be sticking to my trusted YSL Touche Eclat in the future to fight the bags. 


Normally I wear a Clarins Tinted Moisturiser underneath my light dusting of Bare Minerals Foundation to even out my skin tone, however this Chantecaille Just Skin Tinted Moisturiser (Nude) is working wonders. It's light on the skin and I've stopped wearing my Bare Minerals Foundation for days when my skin isn't too bleuch. Another new love is the Chantecaille Lip Chic (Geranium). Moisturising, great colour, and smells delightful too!

Overall some great new additions for my make-up bag!
Anything else worth trying? xo
