The Week #18

The Week in Instagram @ViviannaMakeup:  Cult Beauty buying (again) // Cinnamon eggy bread rules // Being fragrance fitted at Diptyque, post in progress // Puppy procrastination, not mine unfortunately // Palette picking for tomorrow’s video // Downing tools // Pizza party // Nails Inc Portobello is current gracing my tips // Parklife

Product Pick of the Week: Bumble and Bumble Surf Foam Wash Shampoo and Creme Rinse Conditioner* – oh yes, I luuuurve it. I spoke about this buoyant body-giving duo last week and promised an update so here it goes. Lovers of messy manes, myself included in that group, will love it. A more subtle, everyday version of beach babe hair that you can skip the salt spray when using. 

Blog Post of the Week: Doesn’t Meg look a beaut in her Complexion Duo post? I love a good foundation blend and this gave me a kick up the rear to get some use out of the more heavier bases in my ownership with a thinning and radiance injecting drop of YSL Le Teint Touche Éclat. 

Must-Watch of the Week: I’ve been having a watch down memory lane this week on YouTube, re-viewing some of my ol’ favourites from the days when the beauty big guns filmed on their laptops. Loved it. Tanya Burr’s Marisa Miller Tutorial is one that I’ve probably contributed about a quarter of the view count to.

Added to the Wishlist: I just can’t seem to shake out of that beauty-centric brain of mine a mental image of just how dreamy the Dior Addict Lipstick range is – I have a mini swatchathon each time I’m loitering near a counter and one day I’ll finally decide which colour to add to my basket. Things are getting a little Dior-ry round these parts, with the purchase of the Nude BB Cream egged on by Lisa Eldridge’s latest video. But I’ll save that rave for another day…
