F R I : R E V I E W // Josie Maran Coconut Watercolor Eyeshadow

Josie Maran

Hi guys, Today is Friday! Is that a relief to anyone? I am getting over a little cold myself. I have been attacking it with good ol' soup and orange juice and I am feeling much better now. 

Recently, I have been a little bit on a spending ban. I have made plenty of trips to Sephora empty handed in recent weeks. However, when I swatched this liquid eye shadow on my hand it had to come home with me. This is the Josie Maran Coconut Watercolor Eye shadow -- Rio De Rose Gold. 
  Swatch

Sometimes you just have to look at a swatch to be sold on something. Am I right ladies?

If you are a fan of the Naked Three Palette by Urban Decay, this shadow is it's new partner in crime. This looks great as a base and even better as a glimmering finishing touch to a look with the Naked Three palette or any other "romantic" eye look. All you have to do is shake, shake, shake! to mix the coconut water and pigment and apply lightly, you don't need that much. Wa la! your done and gorgeous! There is not that much else to say. But, if you are a fan of Rose Gold I would highly recommend you pick this one up.

 Managed to make that post short and sweet! I hope you all are enjoying yourselves on this lovely Friday. I will see you all very soon!

Out and About: Tea Time at Jacquelines~




Hello my dears! I hope all of you had a Happy Valentine's day.
As a happily single person I spent the day relaxing with my best friend and it was quite pleasant.
However, yesterday morning was more special than Valentines day because I got to go and have "Cream Tea" at one of my favorite places in the entire world.


 Basically, this tea house is a romantic paradise.
There are girly touches everywhere and of course,
breathtaking tea finery.
Jacqueline, has created an extensive tea menu with simply delightful flavor combinations.
( My favorites: Garden of Eden White Tea, Mad Hatter Green Tea, Pumpkin Spice, Chai.)
She also has featured scones of the month. 
Two new flavors every month!
This time she offered us: Strawberry Cheesecake and Caramel scones and they were bloody delicious.
#scone #romantic #girly #tea #english #teaware #shabbychic
A day is truly magical when you fill yourself with scones and about three pots of tea!

I love coming here, not only for tea and delicious scones but the atmosphere is to die for. I could spend all day in there looking at everything..
( and consequently, wanting to buy everything because this tea room is also part gift shop. That's right, all sorts of beautiful tea ware, books, decor, stationary, soaps, candles and gift packages all at your fingertips to buy. It's quite dangerous.) 

So, if you are hankering for a beautiful tea service. Walk ins for "Cream tea" ( tea,scones with Devon creme and jam.)
Or a traditional " Afternoon Tea"( Unlimited tea selection, four course meal that includes: soup/sorbet, finger sandwiches, scones and dessert.) Come here! I recommend it highly!

        I hope all you dears are all having a lovely Sunday!
Do you like tea houses? Tell me your favorite!
I am also curious to know if you like tea what is your favorite kind of tea? 

Let me know!
