On the 26th of August I rushed through airport
security in order to reach World Duty Free. I found myself heading straight to
the Giorgio Armani counter as I had heard many beauty fanatics rave about their
base offerings. I was soon drawn to Luminous Silk and it became love at first
swipe. It is light in texture, but manages to give you a medium to full
coverage and with every scar covered I swooned. I was matched to shade 6 and at
£28, a saving of £7, I was sold.
After browsing the Armani counter I headed to MAC. I have
always lusted after their eye shadows, but have always refrained and walked
away. However, on this occasion I just couldn't help myself and I quickly saw
myself grabbing Patina and Sable (£10 each), which was immediately followed up
by a 217 (£13) to add to my ever growing stash of brushes.
A few pounds lighter I saw myself waving goodbye to London
and saying Ciao to Roma.
Blog Post of the
Week: I found The Sunday Girl’s blog post on Taking
the Mystery Out of Skin Care Ingredients extremely helpful. I am no expert
on cosmetic ingredients and Adrienne has taken the time to break down all she
has learnt from skincare specialist and scientists in simple words that anybody can understand. Thanks Adrienne. I now know about the specific benefits I
can gain from the different ingredients used in products.
Video of the
Week: A round of applause goes to Mary Greenwell’s Masterclass:
Sweetness and Light for GetTheGlossTV. With autumn fast approaching I am on
the hunt for effortless ways to update my look. The look that Mary has created
is luminous, young and playful, a good substitute to the classic dark autumn/winter
hues. This is definitely one to recreate.
Blog Post of the Week: Hats off to Nouvelle Daily for their awakening health related posts. I
found them to be rather informative especially as I’m on a bit of a health
kick. I will be taking their advice and being a little more aware of what I
eat. Be sure to check out Nouvelle Daily’s posts too: Avoiding Hidden Sugars In Food and Healthy Food Myths
Busted.
Video of the Week: As usual I’ve been addicted to YouTube. As soon as I snuggle up between
the sheets I find myself browsing my YouTube subscription list. One sleepless
night I found one of my favourite beauty mavens, ThePersianbabe had uploaded a
video on how to create a Wearable Green Smokey Eye Makeup Look. Who knew a green smokey eye could look
so beautiful? I will definitely be recreating this, thanks Barbara.
