Make-Up

 

I have never been one for over the top make-up. The picture above is as much as I wear. Above is my going out and dinner make-up. Even in black and white it doesn't show any less than in colour.

I have a standard make-up bag that rarely changes. The odd item now and then.

Clinique BB Cream. Clinique Airbrush Concealer. Dior Compact Powder. Benefit Sun Beam Highlighter. Clinique Bronzer. Benefit Eye Shadows. Benefit They're Real Mascara. Vaseline Lip Balm. And an eye brow pencil - I can't remember who by.

I have always stuck to Clinique basics. Recently I changed to a Dior foundation but I always stick to Clinique concealer, BB cream and Bronzer.

Dinner with Mummy

Just a quick post. Went for drinks and dinner with my mum tonight at Le Monde. Have to say I did a very bad at remembering to take pictures before i started - I was starving and it was really good, but I got pictures. Just half the food has already been eaten.

Cocktails to start. Yum.

Okay I was very late in taking this picture. Was so hungry.

Macaroni Cheese for main. Was so good. My mum had the same thing.

Favourite Sets of August


The Bon Vivant Stockbridge



Today I was back with Annie. Double trouble. We went to grab some lunch while catching up on all the girlie chat before Annie heads back up to St. Andrews and I leave for Italy. We decided to go to Annie's favourite place right now - The Bon Vivant Stockbridge. There is two Bon Vivant in Edinburgh, one on Thistle Street in the City Centre and this one in Stockbridge.

I have been to the Thistle Street restaurant so was excited to see this one. It was much brighter than the other. But still had all the details I loved about the other, candles in bottles and empty bottles laying about. A really rustic, french feel. Oh and the toilet is lit with candle light!

Look at that happy face. The excitement was too much.

Bon Vivant is a great idea for a catch up lunch as they do 'Bites' little dishes that you can have for one or to share. They are great value at £1 - £6.50.

We tucked into a feta salad, haloumi with pesto, Serrano ham, bread, cheese, olives and olive oil with balsamic. Oh and chips! 



We even tucked into some great desserts which rounded off lunch well. We left and had a wonder up the street where we came across a new boutique that had just opened. But that's for another post, another day.
