Product Pick of the Week: Malin + Goetz Dark Rum Candle – a wishlist product that has finally made it into my grasps and it’s every bit as good as I thought it would be. Kinda sexy, musky and with an underlying whiff of leather it’s the sort of candle I’ve been lighting up for cosy evenings in. And it’s one of those ‘scents the room without even burning’ ones. Score. The Mojito scent is lush too. You sensing a theme here? 

Blog Post of the Week: Instagram is my biggest source of procrastination these days so of course I’m going to welcome a bevy of new accounts to follow. Enter Refinery 29’s ’23 Must-Follow Beauty Instagrammers’. See ya in a couple of hours…

Must-Watch of the Week: I had a lovely afternoon at the beginning of the week with Lily, Steve and Louis, so I have to give a nod to Louis’ vlog of the day. I’ve also been gorging on Halloween videos this week given I’m off to a spooktacular party on Monday and this Michelle Phan tutorial is one of the most jaw dropping I’ve viewed. Wow, wow, wow. 

Added to the Wishlist this Week: A high priority addition to the list is a repurchase of the Hourglass Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil in Soft Brunette; which I scribed on the last line of yesterday. Guerlain Lingerie de Peau has found its way on there too (+1 reader point if you remember the days when this was my favourite foundation). I’ve sort of been missing its good coverage, but natural finish formula and I think it’s about time to reintroduce it back into my stocks.
