The Week #7

The Week in Instagram @ViviannaMakeup: The dot to dot mani // Editing my luminous skin lineup // I went to Paris. I purchased Bioderma. Standard // Seriously organised makeup, set up by someone with similar OCD-esque tastes as mine in presentation, courtesy of Clarins // Bobbi Brown backstage at Orla Kiely AW13  // The guide. The lipstick // Baking up a monster of a cookie with Rafael // Macaroon feasting at Angelina’s // Sephora on Champs-Élysées, I practically ran there

Product Pick of the Week: Laura Mercier Oil-Free Tinted Moisturiser – another week, another base I’ve rekindled my love for.

Warning: she’s stunning, and this in turn paired with her spot on beauty picks will have you adding to the wishlist in just one eye-scan of the homepage.

Must-Watch of the Week: Cara Delevingne being washed with Burberry beauty, is there a more perfect video? It’s an oldie, but a goodie and it’s got me riffling through my drawers to fish out my Burberry Eye Definer in Golden Brown.

So no new additions to the wishlist this week. I know – who am I? Although I did of course pick up a few things at City Pharma in Paris…
