sixty three.

For my recent birthday, my cousin Alice, with whom i share a love of coffee table books, bought me a beautiful inspirational book!

Its called "THE SELBY - is in your place"

It takes you on a journey through some pretty interesting people's homes...

(Dan Single from Ksubi is one of them)

It's very cool & a little bit kooky.. actually, very kooky, & is now on my "must read" list for when I'm needing a bit of inspiration!

See my lashes?

Ugly photo aside, my lashes are looking pretty lush huh!

This brings me to my THIRD new love.

YSL's 'luxurious mascara for a false lash effect."

Need i say more?

I don't think so!

sixty one.

Did i say I'd only found ONE new love in my last post?

Well that was an understatement.

I meant I'd actually found THREE new loves.

My second, is YSL's Top Secrets flash radiance skincare brush.

In easier terms - skin primer that makes your skin glow! 

(glow as in look radiant, not glow in the dark!!!)

Its a lightweight, water based primer that makes your skin feel soft like velvet & helps to make skin look instantly luminous!

I'm not the biggest fan of primers due to their sometimes oily look & tendency to encourage your make up to slide right off your face!  However,  this one sits beautifully on the skin, you can't feel or see any oil & if anything, helps your make up to last longer!

Did i mention it smells amazing too??

Apply it a couple of minutes before applying your make up so it has time to settle into your skin & be sure to use it next time you're feeling & looking a little tired!

Now for a bit of a product review....

I've found yet another new love.

Giorgio Armani long lasting satin lip colour - number 401.

Holy Moley!

Its an INCREDIBLE red-orange colour.  I don't particularly believe in "long lasting" lip colours because as we all know they usually start wearing off after our first couple of sips of a drink.  However, i would say this is about as long lasting as you can get!

It feels so soft and silky on your lips & is a very deep, strong colour.

All you girls that swing to the orange side of the colour chart - get onto this immediately! 

LOVE love LOVE!

I'm now going to try ALL their colours!
