Kissed by Bobbi

Want that sun-kissed look

As you may have gathered I am a huge Bobbi Brown fan so I went along to see what all the fuss was about with their new Telluride Collection which launched last week (how did I miss this?) available from Bobbi Brown counter at the Houseof Fraser Victoria Square.
 

What better woman to have model their newest Tulleride collection, but the gorgeous Kate Upton.
The collection is described as ‘A warm, tawny glow inspired by the late afternoon sun’.  The name got its inspiration from the late afternoon sun in Telluride (one of Bobbi Brown’s favourite holiday spots in Colorado).  ‘The collection is all about a gorgeous glow’ We all want that glow, don't we?
 

I have a dark complexion and I love earthy browns and pink bronzers and this collection ticks all the boxes for me. The collection ranges from soft pinks, rose and shades of brown and mauve.  The limited palette is described as ‘capturing the skin flattering shades of sunset’, doesn’t that make you feel like being on holiday or getting that sun-kissed look without seeing the sun.  The Belfast weather certainly has not given us much of a summer this year (again sigh) and even though I am brown I tend to go an unhealthy grey without any sunshine (not a good look).

 

The pot rouge glides on the cheeks like silk leaving a sheen which catches the light contouring the cheeks and can also be used on the lips.  The lovely ladies at the Bobbi Brown counter applied the sunset pink bronzer on my cheeks and I got an instant glow with a little colour. I usually use the shimmer brick compact in bronze but after trying this one I'm converted. Here is a tip, when using the eye shadow and brush, wet the brush and apply the eye shadow to draw a line which has staying power. Thank you Bobbi Brown for another fabulous edition to the collection. A definite must have which will take you from our cold summer into an even colder autumn.

'Benefit' of a mascara

The bene f it of a mascara   I called into the Victoria Square, House of Fraser today (you are probably asking, what again?), taking my lunch break in a shopping centre can be a very  refreshing, informative and also an expensive diversion so restraint is needed.   I went in with the intention of buying a new mascara after having seen the new They’re Real! Mascara (available at) on display the other day and I ended up getting a full make-up lesson from Reagan who works in the House of Fraser Victoria Square . Reagan was patient as she explained the various products she was using on me. I tend to stick with the same brand and am always nervous about trying out something new. Now, I can honestly say that I tend to stick with that particular brand after I have found what works for me and am reluctant to try new products, especially foundations. This experience gave me opportunity to see and feel what the products they looked like on my skin without feeling ob...

Uptown Girl

Uptown Girl If you were to ask me where to go for a cocktail in Belfast, my first choice would have to be The Merchant Hotel, Waring Street Belfast.  I have been going to The Merchant ever since it first opened in 2007. I remember our first visit to The Great Room (2AA Rosettes), where we dined out from the very decadent a la carte menu.  There was a strict dress code at that time, men were not allowed in jeans, shorts or trainers, ladies also had o be suitably attired.  There was a sign posted on entry advising diners not to use their mobile phones to allow for complete intimacy to savour the delicious food.   The dress code is pretty relaxed now and the food is just as excellent as the first visit and there is a choice of different affordable menu options. For me going to the Merchant is an excuse to dress up because they have a knack of making you feel so special. M personal favourite is enjoying either an Apéritifs  or Digestifs in the cocktail...
