The Week #113


The Week in Instagrams @nanawintour: *Beauty Bloggers Made Me Do It. *Sunday morning fun with my Bloglovin feed and Frankie magazine. *I finished Gilmore Girls last Friday. There were tears. Let's not talk about it... *Baby Real Techniques brushes! Psst, there may have been an extra set purchased. More on that Tuesday. *#Girlboss aka inspiration in one handy paperback tome. *My trial business cards arrived! I may or may not have slipped one into the front of my wallet. 

Must-Watch of the Week: Kylie Jenner's current makeup look has been doing the rounds on both YouTube and Instagram of late. It seems many of us favour the overdrawn, pouty nude lip. I like Kylie's makeup, but sometimes I feel it looks just a tad too artificial. Tamira uploaded her take on Kylie's makeup this week and I love it. It's not too overdone and veers more on the natural side of things. If you want to channel Kylie's look with less drama then you'll love this.

Product of the Week: Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer, available from Countdown if you're in NZ. I guess this product deserves a bit of an apology. I declared the shade Fair completely off for me initially, and wasn't a fan of its paint-like scent. The latter still bothers me, but the shade match right now in Winter is spot on. I've been throwing this and a bit of setting powder on most days this week and it does the job. 

Must-Read of the Week: Lily of Lily Pebbles shared some advice around tasteful self promotion this week. If you're a new or established blogger then you'll find her list useful. Social media is definitely such a huge help in getting yourself out there. 

Added to the Wishlist: It's a strange day when you realise that concealer has made its way onto your wishlist. Marc Jacobs Remedy Concealer Pen is the one I'm liking the look of. #1 That packaging, swoon. #2 The metal applicator which I imagine would have a cooling effect around the eye area. I'm intrigued..

*What have you been loving this week?

-Have the best weekend everyone! I've had quite the productive week in terms of blogging but also jobs and things. Next week is my last week of holidays *sad face* so I'll be making the most of my free time. I'll also be getting some more videos filmed for you all. One of my friends is having her 21st this weekend which will be exciting. Have a fab Friday! x

  1. I've also been loving the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer! I found the fair shade was a little bit too light for me at first too but now that it's winter it blends in nicely with decent coverage. Have also been loving the Artdeco Perfect Volume mascara at the moment :)

    1. It's a perfect shade for paler skintones. I've not tried anything from ArtDeco before but I always hear good things about their eyeshadows. x
