Bobbi Brown Art Stick in Hot Berry

Bobbi Brown Art Stick - Hot Berry £19.50

As soon as I saw this lip pencil on Laura's blog, I knew I had to have it. Even though I am not a bright lip kind of girl, I went to Selfridges, swatched it, fell in love and purchased it within about two minutes. I find pencils a lot easier to apply than lipsticks, it's very easy to pop on when you're in a rush or on the go. Now, it is very bright and not something I would ever be confident enough to wear but it is such a pretty shade of pink (my niece loves it, points at my lips shouting "pink lips!!" and then makes me put it on hers). It is extremely long lasting, without being dry. I have a lot of issues with my lips being too dry and lipsticks clinging to dry patches but this one doesn't; even though it does have a matte finish. I have worn this so much since I got it as it's so easy to just throw on quickly and doesn't require all that much effort and it's extremely flattering even for a bright, hot pink lipstick! 

PS. Sorry for my slightly serial killer like face.

Birthday Weekend

Last Saturday, I turned twenty. It feels strange and terrifying to be in my twenties but I had the best birthday I've ever had, so that made me feel slightly better! I really do have the best friends/family/humans in my life and was completely spoiled! My best friend Gemma planned a surprise day in London, I had absolutely no clue what we were doing which was so exciting! It started with afternoon tea at the BB Bakery in Covent Garden, which was the most amazing place ever, the decor was beautiful and the food was lovely..and yes, we did eat ALL those cakes! I would recommend checking out the bakery as I had such a lovely time there and they also do London Bus Tours with Afternoon Tea onboard! Then we went to Victoria and I found out we were going to see Wicked, I had wanted to see it for ages and it was such a brilliant show! We then had a little look around the shops, I bought this beautiful Monica Vinader ring that I had been lusting after for ages and have worn it every day since as I'm so in love with it! You can also see the cake version of my Mulberry Bayswater bag that my mum and I made! Thank you for the birthday messages I got, it was the best.birthday.ever! Let me know if you would like a "What I got for my Birthday" blog post!
