Pink Lady

There is one lipstick in particular that just can't escape my attention at the moment and that is M.A.C Chatterbox. I've been wearing it hear there and everywhere! This is a case of lipstick I brought quite a while ago, wore once, and promptly ignored. Now it is making a come back in a big way!

Chatterbox is one of M.A.C's Amplified Creme formulas which I LOVE ( kept in good company by Girl About Town and Vegas Volt) - the texture is sublime. Creamy and non-drying while packing a punch of colour, it doesn't get much better than that in my book. 

It's definitely love at second sight.

I've got six Back 2 M.A.C empty packagings lined up and ready to exchange for a new lippie, hit me with your favourite M.A.C shades please! I can't decide!

My Life Through Pictures

Christmas lights driving on Christmas Eve. 

Finally wearing my TopShop skirt I bought in September and finding it looks great with my new necklace.

Cute little gifts from my best friend. 

My Moustachio looking very disappointed he didn't receive a cat friend for Christmas. I am SO with you there Moustachio. 

Being on holidays from work means casual outfits galore!

Received some beautiful bone china - one of the plates now being used as a jewellery dish. Love the colour / patterns. 

Cooking delicious treats including this caramelised garlic tart. So very yum.

Illuminate Me

I spent yesterday morning finally getting around to one of the most arduous tasks I can think of, cleaning and sorting out all my makeup. By no means do I have nearly as much as some beauty babes , but once I see how much of it I never use I can visualise dollar signs going down the drain which is why I try avoid organising it all at all costs!

The one good thing that came about from all this was that I rediscovered a product that I do love but has gone forgotten for too long!

NARS Albatross is a gorgeous highlighting powder and like all the NARS powders I own, it is to die for! Although it looks scarily white in the pan, once applied it has a gorgeous golden glow which really seems to make my skin light up.

Combined with MAC's Strobe cream mixed into my foundation,  I went to a party last night feeling like the epitome of radiance! Seeing as my skin has sadly been very dull lately it was a much needed boost.

I thought I would share a picture and although it's not a close up I think my skin looks pretty glowy!

NARS Albatross is a definite winner and a nice change from MAC's Soft and Gentle mineralise skin finish which I have been using lately. I find that Albatross is milled a lot finer, is less glittery and more glowy.

I'd love to know which illuminating/highlighting products you swear by?
