All the products used are new purchases other than the eyeliner and mascara. I was in Santa Monica yesterday on 3rd Street Promenade, I love this area and haven't been back since last year so it was nice and the weather was quite hot too! It's just a shame I couldn't enjoy it more as I've caught a cold and have now lost my voice through coughing :( Planning on doing a give away at some point too, maybe when I get to 100 Followers so sometime before I leave I'll be popping into CVS to see what goodies they have :) Hope you all had a great weekend!

Whats in my travel makeup bag?

I've finally arrived in California and getting the urge to blog while I have some free time. Will be leaving tomorrow morning to drive down the coast to San Francisco, so won't be blogging whilst there but I'm gonna try write up a few today so then I can just post them :) Thought I'd do a quick post on what's in my travel makeup bag as I haven't written a proper post for a few days now.

Usually I'd take a lot more makeup than this with me but I knew I'd be buying makeup whilst here so kept it to a minimum but no I look at it it looks like quite a lot lol I really like that I can take small travel size pieces with me because I know that with thing's like primer and mascara I don't use that much. The Paul & Joe cat palette is my new fave at the moment, the eyeshadows are really good quality. 

Hope you are all having a wonderful week, will get another post up as soon a I can :)

FOTD & Update

So Technically this is yesterday's FOTD but nevermind :) Yesterday I went out with some friends to TGI's which was nice, although it was absolutely packed in there and the day before I was up in Milton Keynes with my friend who was buying a BMW. 4 hours later and we were out, who knew buying a car could be so long and boring? We stopped off at the MK centre because I wanted to check the MAC counter in Debenhams as this is the nearest MAC counter in a Debenhams store to London. I've also been working on my new university project this week, basing it around the Camrillo State hospital in California which is now a University. I visited there last year, was kinda creepy seeing all the original bars on the windows still. Apparently this was the hospital that inspired the song Hotel California which is quite interesting. Thinking of going to the Bourjois Boutique tomorrow, as I'll be in London in the afternoon for my Uni workshop. I also spent some time this week trying to design a new header for this blog, it's changed about 4 times already. The current one I put together quickly so that I'd have something nice at the top instead of just a boring title. I like the layout but it's not quite "there" and it's starting to bug me, so if you randomly see the layout change that's why. Hopefully I can get it the way I want soon :)

I'm terrible at taking photos of myself, I can never see what I'm doing so I just have to guess, it's kind of difficult trying to hold a big heavy dslr still haha.
