The Week in Instagrams @nanawintour: *Summer inspiration. *Relentlessly Red. a new lipstick purchase from the Mac Retro Matte collection. *The Sun came out and so did the flowers. *Sleep, how I love thee right now. *The Complexion Savers. *Divine cupcakes-so good!

Must-Watch of the Week: I'll be honest, I can't really remember what I've watched from my subscription box this week. Given that it's nearly Halloween though this cupcake tutorial might interest some of you. Zoe and Alfie made spooky cupcakes, complete with all sorts of gruesome toppings. I might make some of these post-exams next week. 

Product of the Week: This week I rediscovered something I haven't really used in ages. The product in question was my Mac Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle. This is such a gorgeous highlighter. It is shimmery but this powder is quite finely milled so you aren't left looking like a disco ball. I like to use this over the top of neutral eyeshadows as well to give them a bit of extra sparkle. It's the perfect all-rounder.

Must-Read of the Week: I've been reading a lot of fashion blogs lately. One of my favourites is Views of Now. Isabella has awesome style and her outfits are always well planned, very high fashion. Definitely go check it out. 

Added to the Wishlist: Sephora's website is like a visual, virtual beauty heaven. The obvious downside of course is that the physical stores are thousands of kilometres away-that doesn't stop me having a gander every so often. Anyway, this week the Tarte 'Amazonian Clay' blushes have been taking my fancy along with the 'Lights Camera Lashes' mascara. I've been really impressed with the reworked version of this mascara and their blushers get a whole lot of love online. There's stunning shades and they're incredibly long lasting. 

Bobbi Brown Corrector in Porcelain Bisque Regardless of whether or not I have dark circles, this corrector gets used every day. It's partly self consciousness but also just a habit for me now. The pink undertones help to counteract the appearance of fine blue lines under the eyes. This is also something I like to use on discolouration and any scarring that may be fading. The corrector is very thick so you only need to use the smallest amount. I lightly press this in with my ring finger which helps warm up the product and lets it sink in more easily. This lasts all day without creasing and works wonders on dark circles. I'll definitely be repurchasing this.

Origins Plantscription Concealer #2 This concealer is creamy but it is lightweight so it works well under the eyes. After applying corrector I place this under the eyes and blend it in with this brush. As this shade is a little bit warmer than the corrector it blends in well once the rest of my makeup is applied. Once set with powder this and the corrector don't budge.

Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in Vanilla You've heard the hype and the raves about this concealer-they're all true! The shade range of this concealer is spot on. It's hardly surprising that Nars keep selling out of this one. This concealer is incredibly creamy (as the name suggests) which makes it super easy to blend. It also is really long lasting once applied and is great for covering blemishes, scarring, anything really. This is another concealer I'd repurchase.

*What are your favourite concealers?

The Week in Instagrams @nanawintour: *Another cat photo, *Online Beauty Shopping 101, I saw One Direction's show on Sunday. It was so freakin' good! *What's in my bag most days. *I picked up some of Lush's new Christmas products. Definitely check out the bath ballistics. *Another Wicked costume, this time in the windows of Smith and Caughey's. This dress is stunning in person.

Must-Watch of the Week: In case it wasn't obvious by now I love Lush. Their bath and shower products are some of my favourites along with Sea Spray. Anyway, Estee uploaded this haul of some of their latest and greatest new releases. If you've ever wondered what's worth picking up from their Christmas collection then you will like this. Advanced apologies for any wallet-emptying. 

Product of the Week: Bobbi Brown Corrector. I have the shade Porcelain Bisque which has pink undertones. This corrector is designed to cancel out dark shadows under the eyes. It's creamy but not too thick and conceals a multitude of sins. I use this on discolouration and scarring as well-it basically lives in my makeup bag 24/7. 

Must-Read of the Week: So it seems like every fashion and beauty blogger has their well-thumbed copy of Man Repeller, if Instagram is anything to go by. This week I've been revisiting The Man Repeller online, which admittedly I have only briefly looked at before. Now I am hooked though and if you're a fan of fashion, beauty and good writing then you will love this.

Added to the Wishlist: When it comes to beauty I have a strict 'one in, one out' policy. Basically anything that's a bit old or maybe not used gets discarded, passed on to friends or sold online. Part of this means I'm trying to downsize my eyeshadow collection so that I only have a couple of palettes. Long story short, I want to move my Mac shadows into one of their bigger palettes. It'd save on storage space and they'd all be in one easy-to-access space. Too tempting.

Beauty Bay

Beauty Bay was discovered after hearing Shannon sing its praises over on her channel. Beauty Bay is probably best known for selling Urban Decay's products like the Naked 2 palette pictured. As well as Urban Decay they are also home to This Works, RMS Beauty-Miranda Kerr's favourite and many more. Beauty Bay has free shipping but you can pay a little extra to get your things shipped faster to you. Most of my orders arrive safely within two weeks. To be honest the wait is worth it for the money you save.

Sometimes it is easy to forget to take time out of our busy lives to relax. The reality is that sometimes there just is no time. Over the weekend though I took some time out to just relax and do things that are enjoyable to me. One way I love to unwind is to have a bath and read books or magazines. Standard really but there is something about baths that is just so..luxurious. The bubbles, gorgeously scented and coloured water, freshly lit candles. I love it!

Today I thought I'd share with you some of my pamper essentials for a bit of 'me' time..

Lush Snow Fairy Shower Gel, limited edition. Snow Fairy is the quintessential Lush Christmas scent. It smells like lollies and I love using this in the morning for showers and of course the bath for shimmery bubbles. 

Nivea In Shower Body Lotion* If you have dry skin then this is great for you. This is basically a lotion and moisturiser in one which means you don't have to use an additional moisturiser post-shower. It's very good at clearing up any dry patches you may have. While the scent can be a bit overpowering in the shower it does fade quite quickly.

Lush Golden Wonder Bath Ballistic, limited edition. Lush's bath ballistics are my favourite, especially the Christmas ones. It shares its scent with the Celebrate body lotion and contains lime oil and orange flower absolute. Your bath is filled with glittery stars which leave behind turquoise blue water. I'll definitely be picking up more of these before the end of the year.

Rimmel Salon Pro Nail Polish in Jazz Funk* I love painting my nails despite not being very good at it. Rimmel takes all the hard work away with these polishes though. Their wide brush and opaque finish make this super easy to apply.
