Valentines/Thursday 2013.

Hope everyone had a lovely Valentines Day this year :) To be honest, I'm not a big fan of it myself and me and my boyfriend don't really celebrate it. We just think it's so commercial and you don't need to take just one day of the year to show someone how much you love or care for them. So it was just like another day for us. We did go out for dinner though but it was just like another fat date for a fat couple like us :)

You can definitely see the weight gain on my face now! But for our Valentines/Thursday date, I decided to do some soft curls. I think this definitely suits my face shape and adds definition to my disappearing jaw line ;P My boyfriend doesn't really like me wearing much make-up so I opted for light pink and browns for my eye make-up. 

Fattest couple of the year! Haha. I do love our outfits so we were being a bit vain before heading out that night. The top I'm wearing isn't a maternity top. It's actually still a size 8 top which is from Jane Norman. Before it was totally loose but now you can see it's tighter now especially where my bump is :) And as I said in my previous posts, all I want to wear now are maternity leggings since nothing else fit me anymore. My butt and thighs has definitely gotten bigger!

Some goodies that I got that day! A new Longchamp Tote and Select Sheer pressed powder from MAC! Two of my favourite things in life - bags and make-up!

For dinner we went to Vapianos! We got there around 6pm and luckily it wasn't that busy or packed yet. It looks like super small portions, but the dish is quite deep and I had difficulties finishing my meal! It was absolutely delish though and the prices are pretty reasonable. 

And for dessert, krispy kreme donuts! We haven't had them for ages so we decided to buy a double dozen. I was really excited to try the red velvet cake, but it was disappointing. It was quite dry and didn't taste anything like previous red velvet cakes I've had. The rest were still yummy though :) 

My boyfriend spoiling me didn't end there though. The next day, he ran a candlelit bath for me! It was very cute and sweet. I really needed it especially with the back pain I've been feeling. Luckily, my boyfriend does things like this not just on Valentines day, but whenever he can really. He spoils me and takes good care of me and I must say I'm a very lucky girl :) 

What do you think of Valentines Day? Do you celebrate it or is it just another day for you as too? Let me know your thoughts on it!

Eyelashes: They're real from Benefit.
 Eyes: Liquid eyeliner from MUA. 

Face of the day.

Sorry for the horrible quality. Front cameras of iphone are just not good at all, but very helpful! :)

Products used:

• Simple toner and moisturizer 
• Sleek lumaire highlighting concealer - l05
• Mac studio tech foundation - nw35 
• Sleek Brow kit - dark.
• Benefit's They're Real mascara 
• Maybelline's Dream terra sun bronzing powder - 03S Tiger
• Sleek i-Divine Palette   - Oh So Special

 As you can see the majority of the products I use are Sleek. I love their products especially the concealer - one of my favourites! They work so well with my skin type and tone. Plus, they're so affordable. I love big make-up brands like MAC and Benefit but you can't go wrong with the more cheaper drug store products especially when the quality is just as good.

Enjoy the rest of the week loves!

Maybelline's Dream Fresh BB Cream

Hi loves! Hope you all had a lovely weekend. Just thought I'd do a quick post my thoughts on Maybelline's BB cream! I'm actually in love with this product! It worked wonders on my skin 

This is my face clear of any make-up products. I did use a Simple toner before taking this shot. I'm breaking out which is not good at all. :( That's why I'm taking a break from wearing foundation or even too much powder because I need to let my skin breathe and hopefully my spots will clear out! I need to start sleeping early too.

And the picture on the right was taken after applying the BB cream. Big difference! It definitely makes your skin glow just like it promised! Also makes my spots less visible and even brightened the dark circles under my eyes. The BB cream can be used as a primer or moisturizer and can even be used on its own if you want to let your skin breathe. You only need to apply a thin layer so it feels like you don't even have anything on your face. I definitely recommend this product! It can be purchased from stores like Superdrug or Boots or similar drugstores and it retails for £7.99. It's definitely worth it! 

And this is me... finally looking more human!
Haha :) Like I said earlier, I am trying to let my skin breathe so my spots can go away! <3
Hope you all have a lovely week ahead of you guys!

Weekly haul.

L-R: True Mary Jane Pump in Navy Blue, Look Chain Ballerina in Nude Patent, Macaroon Pump Leopard Micro Studs.
How cute are these new flats that I ordered online from office? I'm completely in love with them. They were on sale so I knew I had to get them. Delivery was super quick too! They said it'll take about 7 days but I got them in 3 days I think :)
I love all of them but I think my favourite one is the leopard micro studs. Leopard and studs together? SUPER HOT! The navy blue pumps are more for casual lazy day looks and I know I'll wear the nudes mostly for when I go in the office which will go great with most of my favourite office outfits.
I'm in love with shoes. You can never have too many pairs! Next on my list: New Uggs for the winter, leather boots, white leather vans and hunter wellies! Payday needs to come soon :P

Here are the other stuff I bought this week.

Models Own Make-Up brush set. Includes Powder brush, lip liner brush, shading brush, angled brush and blending brush.
Maybelline's Dream terra sun bronzing powder in 03S Tiger.
Maybelline's Dream fresh BB cream in medium.

I just HAD to buy the brush set. I absolutely love the neon colour and the tip of the brushes and I know this will just make doing my make-up more fun especially now it's all dark and depressing in the winter :) Haven't used the bb cream or the bronzing powder yet so will definitely do a review for it when I do. Enjoy the rest of the weekend for me :) I've been working all day today and I'll be working again tomorrow as I do every weekend! Blog again soon! -andreadxo -andreadxo
