Just a quick update:

MAC Makeovers are amazing.

Obligatory Duck Face.

I went for one last weekend in the Mac store in South Kensington and it was great. They charge £25 which may sound steep but - it is redeemable against products! Amazing. So, whenever you need a new lipstick and eyeliner, or a foundation, it really is worth having your make-up done professionally for effectively free. A lovely girl called Navine, who had just got back from a LFW show where she had been applying make up to those more genetically gifted than myself, did my make-up and she was really chatty and easy to get on with. I was asked what my plans were for the day/evening and what I was planning on wearing so that we could choose a look that was appropriate and co-ordinated. Navine gave me some great make-up tips, I picked up the items I needed anyway and I walked around all day with a flawless face. 


In all honesty, I hate that I rely on make-up for confidence and all occasions that entail me leaving the house. I think it's a shame that it takes up 20 minutes of my morning everyday and that I'm essentially smothering chemicals deep into my pores on too regular a basis. I resent giving money to cosmetics companies when the man in my life is saving his cash. But, I am also really thankful that I have it to rely upon and it really is astounding what effects you can achieve with make-up. I only went for something fairly subtle (save giving the go ahead to massive eyebrows and lots of eyeliner because I'm into that kind of thing) as I was having a fairly casual day ambling around Portobello Market and having dinner with friends, but apparently you can have diamante and false eyelashes and all sorts of amazing bits and bobs attached to your face in the name of glamour.

I recommend! 

Valentines

So I missed the Valentines Day Rush. Or, as I like to call it, Singles Awareness Day.
But, in case anyone's interested, I had a fab time waking up at the Mr's and then ambling down Chiswick Highstreet to grab brunch before getting the train back to Cambridge. I also received an invite to St. John's Super formal, and how could I say no? So here are a few pictures from that night:

Check out how amazing the ceiling is.
