London Haul - Oxford Street and Harrods

I went to London town this past weekend for a really great trip (A whole other exciting post on why I was in London to follow thanks to Revlon Cosmetics)

Fresh Dewy Summer Time Makeup

I have changed my makeup from the matte look I go for in the winter to a more dewy, light, illuminated look that gives a more "fresh faced" appearance.

My Birthday - Eeeeek

I awoke on my birthday to the sound of scuffling about downstairs, hushed voices and Elle singing Happy Birthday loudly in a distant room but being interupted by "Not yet Elle! Upstairs for mummy!"
