Wednesday, 13 August / Beauty Bits

So last weekend was, undoubtedly, one of the best of my life. My big sister (we'll say older given that there's nothing big about her) married and it was a glorious day of flowers, tears and false eyelashes. Safe to say my entire family are in a somber mood this week. Nothing can compare to the joy of free prosecco, choco covered strawberries and my dad's "Father of the bride speech." Not even hoovering, tidying or dissertation prep can suck me from the realms of devastation following the best weekend ever (hehehe). What choice did I have but the only therapy that ever saves me from these times, therapy in the form of retail. Cue beautifully edited picture of a few purchases...

Luckily, I needn't cure the wedding bug just yet. I'm attending another wedding in a matter of weeks (wahoo feed my soppy, romantic urges) and so I needed wanted a dress, some shoes and a bag for the occasion.... *tempts mother on a shopping trip with the promise of a latte and some caramel shortbread*. My goal of the shopping jaunt was actually to recreate the flawless makeup I'd worn to be Maid of Honour. The MUA had been incredible and I had never felt so beautiful (especially when eating a sausage roll amongst all the glamour at 10am). She recommended MAC Face and Body, Studio Finish Concealer and Mineralize Skinfinish Natural (with its fancy new packaging -ooer).

-Post to follow on my (hopeful) success of covering my horrific stressed out skin with the aforementioned disguising products.

I bought some incredibly beautifully stunning in-your-face and perhaps-not-wedding-appropriate rose gold heels to wear with a powder blue dress for the upcoming event and will follow soon with a pic of me in my fake tanned and curled-hair glory. Wew long sentence. 

So here I am at the weekend with my handsome boyfriend, bubbly in hand, with the glowiest skin I have ever encountered and looking smugly thrilled with the success of my OLDER sister's organisational capabilities. I'm  now off to dry out that gorgeous bouquet and watch more 'Say Yes to the Dress'... how else can I satisfy my urges?!
