The Week in Instagrams @nanawintour: *Exquisite macaron tower in the Block Arcade, Melbourne. *Mecca Maxima's 'Beauty to Go' section-just like a smaller Sephora #heaven. *Dinner at Orleans last week-that chicken waffle is amazing! *Crazy cat-lady sunglasses in Sportsgirl. *Jeff Koons at the NGV. *A visit to the new Chanel boutique, again, amazing. *Cupcakes from Little Cupcake. *Zara+Tank=One happy girl. *I visited the Regent Theatre to watch King Kong. This is easily one of the most stunning theatres, ever. *'S' is for Sophie and obligatory selfies. *Gorgeous Christmas decor in Crabtree & Evelyn. *The Cult Beauty Wishlist. 

Must-Watch of the Week: I'll be honest, my YouTube subscription box hasn't been given a glance-over in the last week. However, I did watch some movies on both my flights to and from Australia. First up, Mademoiselle C about Carine Roitfeld and her invention of CR magazine. I didn't know an awful lot about Carine but it was so fascinating to watch her work and see how appreciated and admired she is by the fashion industry as a whole. I also watched Burton and Taylor starring Helena Bonham Carter as Liz Taylor. Again, I don't know an awful lot about Liz Taylor so I really enjoyed this one although sadly I didn't get to see all of it.

If Cult Beauty was a real store it would be an absolute treasure trove of all the greatest, harder-to-find brands and products. While it isn't physically 'real', thankfully it exists online and in the UK. The founders source the best products from some of the world's greatest brands and have them all in one easy place so you can buy or make wishlists to your heart's content. I am yet to personally shop on Cult Beauty-one day soon I will! In the meantime though I have compiled a wishlist of all the bits and pieces sitting in my cart..

Anastasia Clear Brow Gel I actually don't own a brow gel and have considered getting the Mac one from time to time. Brow gel is something worth spending a bit more money on if you want to avoid crispy brows. The Anastasia brand is known for their brow products so this would make a welcome addition to the beauty routine.

Aesop Parsley Seed Facial Cleansing Mask This is described as a lifesaver for those times when your skin's looking angry and congested. The clay draws out any impurities. It is said to be perfect for balancing oily/combination skin as well.  If you're after a new face mask then you should definitely check out Aesop's.

Dr Bronner Castille Mild Liquid Soap So you're probably all thinking liquid soap is a somewhat bizarre inclusion and I completely agree. These organic soaps are popular among the beauty set for brush-cleaning. At the moment I use whichever shampoo and conditioner I have in my shower to clean my brushes. Using something like this means you can disregard wasting your hair products.

I'm currently in Melbourne as you read this which means I am probably doing a combination of shopping, drinking amazing coffee, taking loads of pictures and behaving like a lovestruck tourist. Today I thought I'd talk you through what is in my travel makeup bag. Believe it or not this is quite minimal for me. Aside from some skincare bits and my eye brushes this will be it. On holidays I tend to wear less makeup anyhow. This is a more streamlined version of what I use daily in other words. 

Palettes and Powders With palettes I try to take ones that are relatively flat so that they fit into my makeup bag more easily. The Hourglass palette and my Mac quad are multi-use. My favourite Benefit blush Coralista is coming even though it's not so travel friendly, it's my go-to Summer blush right now.

Eyeshadows While I have my eyeshadow quad I also packed my two favourite neutrals, All That Glitters and A Natural Flirt. Eyeshadow is something I don't fuss as much with on holidays so these blendable, subtle wash of colour shades are perfect.

Primers Standard. My travel-sized Hourglass primer is coming because it has the best lasting-power and my Benefit one is close to running out. I may be eyeing up the Laura Mercier counter looking for a replacement primer. Watch this space..

Pencils My two Rimmel pencils are so easy for everyday makeup, a quick swipe along the lashline and a little bit of smudging with a brush or finger has you sorted. The flesh-toned pencil is for the waterline and my pink-lip pencil is what I pair with my brighter lipstick. 

The Week in Instagrams @nanawintour: *Reading an essay on Maxi Skirts and feeling nostalgic. *A palette standoff in a Wicked face of the day. *The best packages come in Bobbi Brown bags. *Britney came to visit! *I'm in the December issue of Teen Vogue! No cover stories or features (yet...) but it was pretty surreal seeing this nonetheless. *Another afternoon spent in the Emerald City-get yourself to Wicked this weekend if you are yet to see it. *Getting excited for Christmas with these seasonal beauty collections. *A preview of Monday's post. *Christmas at Bobbi Brown's. *The gorgeous stage setup at Wicked-it's totally not obvious I enjoyed it is it?

Must-Watch of the Week: If you haven't yet done so you need to check out Lily's Christmas Gift Guide video. It is a beauty lover's dream, so don't be surprised if you come away with a wishlist for yourself as well of course for your beauty loving friends and family. There are some beautiful products to be found here like the Jo Malone sets or the Nars Guy Bourdin palette.

Bourjois Bronzing Primer, available here. Dubbed the alternative to the Chanel cream bronzer and it certainly delivers. While this is a bit too dark for me to use all over my face it works well underneath  bases to add a touch of warmth to your skintone. It is incredibly easy to blend so you aren't left looking noticeably orange. You can wear this alone or as a primer which makes it perfect for lazy makeup days. 

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder, limited edition. This palette has only been in my possession for a week but given it's being used daily it deserves a mention. You can read full ravings here but this palette has highlighting, setting makeup and subtly bronzing the complexion all covered. Each of the powders is designed to add a soft-focus effect to the skin and masks imperfections in the process. The palette itself is sold out now but all these powders except for the highlighting shade are available separately so you can always pick up one of those. 

Korres Lip Butters in Jasmine and Pomegranate, available here. These are fantastic for keeping your lips hydrated and silky smooth during the Summer months. If you're wearing matte lipstick, or any lipstick actually, these are great to apply beforehand as they make your lips that much smoother. These are also deliciously scented and subtly tinted so they're the ideal no-makeup day companion.
