I've been on the hunt for the perfect mattifying foundation for basically my entire teen+adult life. I said this before on this blog but my skin is rather oily and after spending an entire day running around the city my face tends to look a lot like freshly fried bacon (yes I am exaggerating.. but you get my point). So when I went into Boots a couple weeks back I just had to pick up the L'oréal Infallible 24H-Matte foundation! I've heard a few bloggers talk about it before either really really praising it or absolutely hating it so here I am telling you my thoughts on it :)
Hello lovelies! I'm still adjusting to all the new: living in a new city, a foreign country and not really knowing anybody and all that so I struggled a little to find inspiration to blog recently. I can easily get a little discouraged to do the things I love when I'm not feeling on top of things and not at my best. But nevertheless I'm good and I like being in London and walking the streets and parks of my favourite city again! So last weekend I decided to get out of my Netflix rut and grabbed my DSLR and headed west. Notting Hill is such a pretty area of London and I enjoy being there a lot! I've also had a little wander through Kensington gardens and finally ended up in the West End for Wagamamas at Covent Garden and to finally see the Charles Pétillon installation in the market hall in all its light pulsing glory. It's seriously stunning! Here are some snaps from my weekend, and what a sunny one it was!
The Girl On The Train by Paula Hawkins tells the story of 30 something Rachel Watson who
takes the same train into London
every single day, passing the same rows of houses along the tracks time and
time again. Rachel herself somewhat struggles with her life. She's an alcoholic
and let's just say her career and family plans didn't quite work out as she had envisioned
them once. So while she is on that train she keeps seeing that seemingly
perfect couple in their seemingly happy family home and she starts calling them
Jess and Jason and in her head Rachel imagines them to have the perfect loving
relationship and basically everything Rachel herself always aspired to have.
But one day Rachel sees something that doesn't fit in the picture, something
that becomes increasingly important when Jess suddenly goes missing.
I've seen this lovely little tag on Beth's blog Alphabeth and knew straight away that even though I wasn't tagged I still really wanted to write up a happy list. 50 things however seemed like quite a lot at first but there's so many little things that can turn your frown upside down that should be mentioned as well. So read on to see what makes me happy.
