My New Beauty Inspo of Late and My Love for Dates

Five Things

It’s time to bundle together the best of beauty, fashion and everything in between from the past seven days. Edited down to five of the top products, videos, posts, releases and the rest that have had me clicking away:

1. Feeling Poop, But Looking Fine. I’ve had an on/off cold since the beginning of the year and it’s definitely having an on moment right now, so I’m bringing out all the vitamin, mineral and beauty big guns right now in order to make myself look somewhat presentable. Perhaps I’ll whip up a mid-week video on making myself look human again if you fancy? Sick to chic; featuring Emergen-C and concealer by the bucketload.

2. My New Beauty Inspiration. During one lunchbreak I stumbled across the series Candidly Nicole with Nicole Richie and proceeded to immediately watch the first and second seasons. Before I knew it – it was dinner time. Such a productive day. But I have come to the realisation that Nicole is my new makeup inspiration. Her look is subtle and natural, but with a bit of drama on the eyes and a nude lip and I also now want blue hair. Please and thank you.

3. Makeup Fit for a Princess from MAC. I haven’t paid attention to a MAC limited edition release for ages, but the Cinderella for MAC launch is worth keeping an eye out for this week. The Stroke of Midnight Eyeshadow Palette is a particular favourite that has some of my MAC favourites in one handy, ridiculously cute looking palette. I’ll pop up a post sometime this week.

4. Essie’s Maximilian Strasse Her (did I spell that right?). Thanks to Lily Pebbles, her most-worn nail polish is now mine because it just kept looking so darn great at her and now I can understand all her raves – it’s a great colour. It’s given me my colourful nail mojo back and I actually find this colour to be really long-wearing compared to other Essies. If you fancy something a little different in the nail department then pop it into your basket next time you’re in Boots.

5. Any Recipe That Includes Medjool Dates. This one is all down to Deliciously Ella’s Book because I have a gigantic sweet tooth and in my quest to become a little bit healthier with my food choices, medjool dates have come to the rescue. They play a crucial role in her Sweet Potato Brownies, Almond Butter Fudge and Nut Butter Stuffed Dates which I can’t get enough of. Incredible.
