Hello Lovelies!
I'm having a little technological play around with my blog today! So I thought I'd do a photo post because I can never resist reading these kind of posts!
Hope you enjoy!
1. Top Left: Bath Xmas Market! It was truly Christmassy and so lovely! I really enjoyed visiting it!
2. Top Right: Biscuit magnets! Gone are the days of tacky fridge magnets! These were so cute! I couldn't resist buying a bourbon one!
3. Bottom Left: More Christmas tree obsession. This is in Worth Avenue, Palm Beach! It looks so beautiful and it's even musical!
4. Bottom Right: Afternoon tea at a local hotel. Simply cosy on a chilly afternoon.
What have you been snapping this week?

Hello Lovelies!
I thought I'd share with you a few makeup things which I'm excited about trying this week.
1. L'oreal Voluminous Butterfly Intenza Mascara
I'm quite addicted to the Bourjois Volume 1 Seconde mascara at the moment but I thought I should try a new one, and when I saw this one in the US the shape of it was pretty unusual. The claim that it adds 9x more volume to your lashes is pretty impressive so it's definitely worth a test!
2. MAC Whirl Lip Pencil
I'm a great lover of MAC Lip Pencils, they are definitely the dream team when combined with their lipsticks! I recently snapped up Whirl and I cannot wait to test out this shade to see if it lives up to its' reputation. When paired with MAC Velvet Teddy, I'm sure it'll be an unstoppable force!
3. Chinatown by Lipstick Queen
This little trio was snapped up in Space NK. 3 things in one package from Lipstick Queen, could there be anything better? This set contains 3 chubby lip crayons. The shades include:
Chinatown Chase, Chinatown Pink Bluff and Chinatown Catalina.
I'm super excited to use these petite pencils as they're meant to leave you lips smooth and moisturised too! Perfect for winter.
Well that's three things I'm excited for trying this week, I'll let you know how I get on!
What are you excited about this week?

Happy Sunday Lovelies!
I thought I'd share with you some things which I've been loving this past week which all begin with the letter M! (coincidental!)
Movies
I'm not the biggest movie fan I get quite impatient watching anything for too long, unless it's super easy to follow! Romcoms are definitely my favourite genre as these are simple to follow! This week though I've been loving the classic 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'. It's a pretty hard one to top!
Magazines
I love a good magazine, since finishing uni I feel like I can actually allow myself to read a magazine! I used to feel guilty if I picked one up because I thought I should have spent my time reading law books! So I'm thoroughly enjoying reading a good old magazine again!
This week I've loved Porter magazine and of course Conde Nast Traveller, because it makes me drool over everywhere in the world I want to go. It's a great dream magazine when you want to escape reality!
Mulberries
I love these little mulberries, they're like nuggets of nutritional goodness! It's what I tell myself anyway! I like to add them to my breakfast. They're unusual and quite pricey but once you've fallen in love with them, they're quite addictive!
Well I hope you enjoyed my M loves! What have you been loving this week?

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?
