Morning Beauties!
Hope you have some great plans for the weekend! I'm sure it probably means finishing up your christmas shopping or if you're a last minute type of person like me, starting to attempt it!
I thought I'd make this post all about mixing! I'm one of those people who likes to buy lots of makeup, and then after a while I get bored of it. So instead of just using something new I've bought, I like to start mixing and this is exactly what I did the other day!
I'd been enjoying wearing my MAC Mineralize Moisture Foundation, as it was giving such a lovely glow when I wore it but as lately I've been unwell my skin tone started turning a bit yellower and so I was literally glowing a stronger weird yellow colour whilst wearing this! I decided that I needed to use another foundation with a bit more coverage to take the yellow glow away! So I dug out an old YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat foundation.
I absolutely love this foundation and I used to wear it everyday for such a long time a few years ago but I was still searching for a bit more of a glow than this foundation offered. So what did I do?
I MIXED and well I can tell you that this mixture is absolutely a little gem!
MAC Mineralize Moisture Foundation + YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat Foundation
= such a beautiful healthy glow and actual coverage.
I urge you to give it a go if you're after this kind of finish. Even if it's just grabbing some samples of them and testing it out yourself. I felt pretty proud of myself for finding this little beauty and I think I'll be mixing for quite some time!
Now if MAC and YSL were to combine these it would be incredible!
Have you ever combined 2 products you love and found a new favourite?

Hello Lovelies!
A bit of a random post but it's Friday and I've definitely got that Friday feeling! As Xmas is only around the corner and I'm not feeling overly Christmassy, a post dedicated to Christmas trees can surely help!
I love looking at everyone's Christmas trees, I'm fascinated by the way they're decorated, the colour, the decorations, whether they're real or fake. Nothing looks more magical than a beautifully decorated Xmas tree!
My favourite trees are the real ones. To me it doesn't feel like xmas without that amazing Christmas tree smell. I'm also one of those people who thinks the bigger the better, even if you have to saw the top off because it can't get through the door! It's only Christmas once a year!
This tree is a from somewhere I went last December, call it my xmas tree idol!
It's just so beautiful and a complete showstopper! My dream is to own this one day!
I also love this tree, although completely different, it can't help but get you excited for Xmas. Definitely one of those magical type of Christmas trees.
This grand tree is a Christmas tree classic at Blenheim Palace last week, it definitely fitted into its setting!
This year my trees are silver, white and light pink. I'm trying to replicate the top one but I somehow don't think you can really compare anything to this beauty!
I would love to know what your favourite xmas trees/colours for them are?

Hello Lovelies!
I thought I'd share with you a lipstick love which I cannot stop wearing. It's a lipstick from Lipstick Queen. It's from their Sinner range and is in the shade Peachy Nude. I love wearing nude lipsticks and find that they're super handy to wear everyday even in Winter. This particular nude is pretty creamy and moisturising. It flatters any makeup look you wear with it! It's described as a warm peachy nude. What I can't get over with this whole sinner lipstick line, is that even though these lipsticks give a matte look, they are the most creamiest lipsticks ever! They actually feel pretty moisturising on your lips so definitely feel healthy for them! (Not that a lipstick is really healthy for your lips though!)
So say goodbye to dry cracked matte looking lips when you wear this!
Also this lipstick wears for such a long time, which is incredible especially for a nude! Overall I'm impressed by this lipstick, I will definitely love more lipsticks from the Sinner line as I love having a bit more coverage than the Saint line offers. I love this shade and it is one of those nudes which I know I'll be purchasing over and over again!
I love pairing this lipstick with MAC Nice 'N' Spicy Pro Longwear lip pencil, it creates such a beautiful combination!
Have you tried anything from Lipstick Queen?

Morning Lovelies!
As it's Wednesday and sometimes we need a little midweek perking up!
Here's some things which always perk me up during the middle of the week!
Flowers:
My favourite flowers are Peonies and Orchids but to be honest I love any flower. They're so beautiful and always put a smile on my face! Flowers definitely change the atmosphere in any room.
Candles:
Switching off the lights and the room being lit by candlelight is just so magical. I love pretty much any type of candle! I've recently just got another Jo Malone candle flavour which I can't wait to start burning! The scents they give off are incredible.
Positive quotes:
Everyone probably knows that I love my positive quotes. However something which I love is these cute little pegs which I have, they are engraved with a different day for the whole week. They are perfect for pegging a daily quote or two!
So here's the offering from today:
"Minds are like flowers, they only open when the time is right"
These type of quotes always make me think and motivate me to start the day in a positive way!
What are your midweek pick me ups?
