Product Pick of the Week: Aromatherapy Associates Bath and Shower Oil in Support Lavender and Peppermint – I’ve been working through a cold all week and nightly bathes in this are making the sniffles a little more bearable. The peppermint and lavender whiffs act as a hug and slap on the back in one and I feel measurably less stuffy post-wallow. A full ‘I’ve Got a Cold’ edit is coming on Monday for you fellow red nose sporters.

Blog Post of the Week: This is not so much a post recommendation per se but more a ‘follow this person cause they are darn hilarious’ call to action. Daisy Buchanan is her name and witty articles that will make you chortle at your desk is her game. She dips in and out of beauty but whenever she spreads her scribbings on twitter I always have a read. And usually have to wipe away a tear of laughter five minutes later.

Must-Watch of the Week: Wayne Goss’ videos on his new brush collection. Don’t they look luverly? I’m on the waiting list with the brushes 1, 2, 3 and 6 in my sights. Also Daily Grace and Tanya Burr. Adorable.

Added to the Wishlist this Week: There is something in the air this week as there are many, many things that I’ve mentally been keeping track of: the new NARS Ride Up to the Moon Eyeshadow Palette (even just the name gets me), CHANEL Le Vernis Nail Polish in Rouge Noir (mostly due to its nod from Elin Kling), a shape and thread from Blinc (my brows are looking bushier than ever) and Frederic Malle Dries Van Noten EDP – cause a girl can dream, right? *and breathe*
