The Week #35

The Week in Instagram @ViviannaMakeup: My bathroom for the next few days is a room Pinterest dreams are made of // Kellermans dinner (see Lily’s post) // I’ve been to Sephora – haul coming up tomorrow // The Ray-Ban Crew // Standard ‘Hey I’m on a plane’ pic // My NYC capsule wardrobe // One of the best makeup books // A contender for Oribe Dry Texturising Spray – we’ll see // What makeup I lugged over the pond (see yesterday’s post)

The Week in VDM Posts: The Beauty Bag: September // August Favourites // Beauty Bookworm // Ciaté’s Feathered Nails // A Good Pairing // My MAC Palette // The Debate: Bold or Nude? // Bobbi Brown Rich Chocolate Collection // NY Beauty Kit 

Product Pick of the Week: Macadamia Flawless* – this is genuinely one of the weirdest hair products I’ve ever used. I can’t work out whether it’s completely genius or just downright bizarre; but after giving it a fair test I think it sits on the genius end of the spectrum. A mousse-like texture that you massage all-over onto damp hair, rinse out and blow-dry your hair as normal. It’s like a shampoo, conditioner, treatment and styler in one. My new lazy day companion.

Blog Post of the Week: I lurve finding new blogs to add to my reading list so Makeup Savvy’s ’10 Beauty Blogs Worth Bookmarking’ was right up my street. Clicking through some beauts of a blog kept me engrossed for a good hour (or two). Sandra Holmbom’s blog offering is a particular favourite.

Must-Watch of the Week: Who doesn’t love a beauty favourites video? Well how about an almost 23 minute long one? I’m in. Sali Hughes presents the what’s hot edition of the autumn launches and it’s fair to say I’m coveting around two thirds of the products mentioned.

Added to the Wishlist this Week: So I may be a little lighter in pocket since landing in New York (keep an eye out for a quick show-and-tell video tomorrow on YouTube), but there’s still one outstanding purchase to make before I fly home tomorrow – Hourglass’ Femme Nude Lip Stylo’s. Six shades of twist-up nudey lip goodness. How can I just choose one?
