LONDON'S CALLING

Spending a few days in London was not only an extraordinary experience, but a big eye-opener. Growing up in a rural area, exploring such a large and densely populated place has certainly made it memorable. Yet, I felt at home; the constant rush of people, the frequent travelling on the underground and the enormous variety of shops, galleries and landmarks. Something I found myself constantly staring in awe at was the beautiful architecture and height of the buildings. During my stay I was fortunate enough to visit the following places:

• The Houses of Parliament (House of Lords and House of Commons)
• Google HQ
• Old Bailey Court
• Noel Coward Theatre
• University College London
• Tate Modern
• British Museum
• Science Museum
• St Paul's Cathederal

The photos tell the story, and all I can say is how glad and grateful I am for having such a wonderful time in London.

MY MAC COSMETICS COLLECTION 2015

So after a few years of creating my MAC collection, here it is with all the details in case any of the products catch your eye.

I'm not the sort of person to buy new makeup as soon as it is released - I much prefer keeping or going back to old products which have served me well. Obviously, a large proportion of my collection was received via gifts, which allows me to find out new likes and dislikes. So here I have highlighted a few of my favourite MAC products so far (note I haven't used any foundations or concealers of theirs yet).

FAVOURITES WITHIN THIS COLLECTION 

• So Chaud Lipstick - smooth when applying, vibrant orange-red therefore perfect for summer and winter.
• Vanilla Pigment - long lasting due to pigment density, perfect for highlighting inner eye corners or brow bones.
• Charcoal Brown eyeshadow - multi use; either filling in eyebrows using the 266 brush or blending within the eye creases which creates the illusion of bigger eyes.
• Naked Lunch eyeshadow - can be used instead of the Vanilla Pigment, however perfect for eyelids and matches any lip colour.
• Sumptuous Olive eyeshadow - a gorgeous green/brown sheen which enhances brown, hazel or green eyes, also perfect for blending in the outer eye corners.

Only a brief post, but I hope it was useful to anyone interested in investing in some MAC makeup or to anyone who enjoys having a good browse through other people's makeup (like myself!)

See you soon!
