Happy Sunday! I apologise for the low quality photo, I'm back in Bournemouth and my house is pretty much sheltered from all angles by trees, so it's super dark! I hope you've all had a good week anyway, I popped back to London for the beginning of the week to spend time with the Boyfriend, and then I spent the latter part of the week back home, being a tourist with Daphne, and spending time with family.
I also wanted to give you a little update, I switched the blog commenting system over to Disqus this week which was sort of a long time coming. I've had several problems with Blogger's own commenting system, people writing comments but they don't save properly, the comments not working with mobile devices, stuff like that. Also, if I or anyone else reply to your comments via blogger, you won't know about it, whereas Disqus will notify you! Hopefully this should make it easier for all of us, but if you have any issues with it please do let me know! It may take a couple of days for all the previous comments to be imported and they might look a little strange on older posts, but hopefully this will be better!
Anyway, onto my favourite picks from the week! First up, I've been trialling out the Bourjois Happy Light Matte Primer, in an effort to try more drugstore primers. It's too early to give you a full lowdown on this yet, but as soon as I can I'll give you a full run through of my thoughts! Just wanted to give it a mention, because it definitely helps keep your skin matte, good for the (hopefully) impending hotter months.
I mentioned the Real Techniques Contour Brush in my March favourites, I've been using it with my MAC Mineralize Skinfinish for a good six or seven weeks, but this week I've also been using it to apply my blush and I love it. Because it's so small and tapered it gives a much more subtle look!
I've always liked using the Smashbox Halo Highlighting Wand on the top of my cheeks and under my browbone, but this week I've been mixing it in 50/50 with my under eye my concealer and the effect it gives is so brightening and reflective, it makes me look much more awake!
The lipstick I've been loving this week is the MAC Lipstick in Peach Blossom, a gorgeous pink nude with a hint of peach to it. It's one of those lipsticks that goes with every makeup look, and is super easy to wear.
I've also been loving wearing my hair curly this week! It's finally long enough for me to wear curly and not look weird!
What have you guys been loving this week?
