The Week in Instagrams @nanawintour: *The birthday beauty haul, *Having my makeup done at Mecca with Nars and Hourglass products aplenty *Sharing the glossy love *My current go-to eye products *A David Downton illustrated card that I received for my birthday *Surprise cupcakes for a family lunch-chocolate and raspberry..so good! *Watching The Bling Ring at the Civic Theatre with Britney *My stunning birthday cake from Bluebells Cakery. It was almost too good to cut *Watching Alix's latest video and reading up on all things Diptyque *Obligatory selfie after having my makeup done *New to the library *My birthday nails as done by Leah Light in her gorgeous new salon.
Must-Watch of the Week: I don't know if it's just the unnaturally warm Winter we've been having in Auckland but I have really been enjoying watching the Summer-themed beauty videos from American and British vloggers of late. Alix of I Covet Thee vlogged a Summer Edit of all things beauty and skincare. I really enjoyed this series and it got me excited for Summer as well as all its potential holidays. More on that soon..
Product of the Week: Diptyque Philosykos eau de toilette has been reigning supreme this week with my other fragrance options being passed over. Its scent is unlike anything else I have owned or worn in the past and I love it. This perfume also has ridiculously good staying power as well so you aren't left having to re-spritz too often throughout the day.
Must-Read of the Week: I stumbled upon this post about falling out of love with your blog by accident this week. This happened to me about a year ago but on a lesser scale and as a blogger/writer it really isn't something you want to experience. Kat talks about how a blog is like a magazine and approaching it that way is actually very freeing. Sometimes sticking to your niche, whether it be fashion or food 24/7 can get boring. By approaching your blog like a magazine you can mix content up and add some variety to your blog which keeps things fresh and exciting.
Added to the Wishlist: After a quick cast over the 'What's New' section on Mecca's website I noticed that the Glamglow Supermud Clearing Treatment has finally arrived on our shores. Shannon from Shaaanxo vlogged about this mask a couple of months ago and the results she had were incredible. I even considered ordering this from Sephora. This mask will be fantastic for clearing up skin in Summer time. Penny saving has commenced as of now..
Omg loving that cake its so pretty!
