A new scent...
Now, we all love a Yankee candle, don't we? They have such an amazing range of scents. I can't resist smelling every single one when I enter a store selling these. So, recently I just had to treat myself to a new one!
It may be a festive fragrance but I think 'Snowflake Cookie' can be burned at any time of the year. With it's vanilla sugary scent, I find it really comforting. The only problem I find is, it can sometimes make you feel hungry! I'm burning it right now as I type this. I'm glad I purchased the large size, so this irresistable fragrance will be filling my living room for some time....
Right, off to grab a biscuit.....!!
Smart technology at your fingertips...
Fancy some clothing with 'smart technology'? Well, I think I've found it! No, it's not a top that makes you invisible! It's touch screen gloves from Primark! And whats even better, they only cost me £1!
Oh & yes, they work.
Theres no sign of the weather getting much warmer at the moment & as I've said before in another post (Get Happy!), I suffer from dry hands, so I do like to keep them warm, but I am slightly addicted to my iPhone! Gloves & iPhones don't always mix! But now, Primark have come up with something that works for both!
And I love them.
They have special stitching on your thumb & index finger on both gloves & work perfectly when using a touch screen.
And I love them so much that I have 2 pairs! One in black & one in burgundy!
A true match...
So, this month I've been wearing the lovely 'L'oreal Paris True Match' foundation. I've found it to be really easy to blend & feels lovely on my skin.
I'm pretty pale & originally thought I would need 'Rose Ivory' thinking I was a bit of an english rose type tone, but soon realised even that was a bit pale for me & that really I have slight yellow undertones to my skin (& no, it's not jaundice!), so I thought I'd pick up the 'golden ivory' to warm me up a bit but without being too dark & it really did work!
It evened out my skintone & made me look less 'corpse like' & more 'alive'!
I may try out their matching powder next & see how that applies. Always up for trying something new!
Tools of the trade...
Well, these had to be in my favourites, didn't they? If you have never tried any of the 'Real Techniques' brushes before, then you really should! They are great value for money & your makeup looks 10 times better than if you applied with anything else.
With my foundation, I had always used my fingers, but since trying 'Real Techniques' I have used their brushes - their 'Foundation', 'Expert Face' & 'Stippling' all do amazing jobs & vary the look depending on how much coverage you want.
I could talk for ages on the virtues of their brushes but I won't. I'm challenging you to purchase any one of their range & you can see for yourself. I promise you, you won't be disappointed!
A man from Memphis...
So, I must admit, I'm a bit of a fan of a certain guy called Elvis. I've grown up with his music - mainly through the influence of my mum!
I remember one day, when I was a child, my mum sat me down to watch a film with her called 'Blue Hawaii'. It was her favourite. It starred a man with a slick black quiff, high cheekbones & a beautiful smile. He intrigued me.
And then I heard him sing.
And the rest is history.
So, this month it will come of no surprise, that my last favourite is 'If I can Dream: Elvis Presley with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra'.
As I've heard many an Elvis track, I didn't think it would be that different.
But it was.
It's classic Elvis but with a brand new orchestral accompaniment. It makes the songs sound fresh & new....as if they were just recorded yesterday.
And I'm sure it will win new fans around the world.
It's definitely worth a listen, tracks in particular 'If I Can Dream' & 'Burning Love'.
It's enough to make a King proud....
So, thats what I've enjoyed this month....
How about you?
