The Week #119


The New Read-Well new to me, perhaps not new to the rest of you. I've been venturing out of my Frankie comfort zone and getting into Kinfolk magazine. Kinfolk concerns itself with coming together and finding new things to make and do. Each issue has a theme, the one I've been reading is all about weekends (my fave). If you're a fan of Frankie then I think you'd love this. It has gorgeous photography throughout as well. Lurve. 

Mecca's Treat To You-And by treat I mean, #feelingspendy offering. Mecca have announced a price drop across many of their brands in store. Can I get an amen!? It's one mighty good thing, whichever way you look at it. Perhaps other standalone brands and beauty counters will follow suit. Fingers crossed! 

Wild Berry Iced Tea-The best alcoholic cocktail in the world. My friend A tells me the non-alcoholic version is pretty darn spectacular too. Vanilla infused vodka, some other alcohol I cannot recall and a whole lotta iced tea goodness. It's as amazing as it looks. Want one? Hit up Miss Clawdy.

Matte Pink Lips-Never not loving pink lipstick. If I look through my lipstick stash fuschias are popular along with of course the more pinky nudes. Lately though it's been all about the bright, matte pink lip and I'm not set to get off that train anytime soon, and neither are the Nouvelle Daily girls. I love this one from Bourjois for something cheap and cheerful but if you're feeling a bit more spendy, Nars' Schiap is fabulous also.

It's Like I've Got This Music In My Mind-Sayin' it's gonna be alright...Before I get carried away with turning this into a lyrical ode to one T Swift  and 'Shake It Off', I'll just cut to the chase and say I am obsessed with this song. Not many songs get me having a dance sesh or two but this one has. It's fun, it's sassy. I love it. 

-Have the most amazing weekend peeps! I've had such a good week. Sure at times it's been a bit meh but hey, that's life. I'm writing an essay this weekend on Anna and Vogue-life is rough ;) and in between I am going to try to film a video. I wish I could get into a regular schedule with blogging and videos but Uni is just making that a bit hard at the moment. I'm also struggling with ideas for videos too so if anyone has ideas then sing out! x

  5. It's in play right now Charli! I went in store yesterday with Ellen and yeah, damage happened haha. Some brands like the much more luxe ones are still a bit on the pricy side but it's a heck of a lot better than what they were. Plus it saves $$ in the long run not having to pay to ship makeup here from the States etc. x
