Even though I am a firm believer that romance is nicer on
random days than on February 14th, I still used Valentine’s Day as
an excuse to enjoy a nice meal out with my man. I have a few heart themed posts
coming up, just to push the idea that love (for life, for beauty, for
everything!) is something to be revered all year round. I used some exciting
cosmetics to make the night feel a bit special, and I was really happy with how
it all turned out. I was only able to catch this blurry picture of my actual face as I was too focused
on the thought of food to find some decent lighting. It says a lot that my
dinner pictures are clearer, doesn’t it!? I hope you still manage to see how it
looked, and I’d love to know what you think of it.

Hope you find love in beauty and food like I do! I’d love to
hear what you got up to on February 14th!
I love the look you did, romantic and pretty.
ReplyDelete@Jacqueline Thank you, I tend to go for purple shades for romantic looks so I am glad you think it suits the tone :)
Deleteomg u got the LM palette!!! YAY!!!!
ReplyDeletethe food looks super yum!
@lilladylife It took me so long to find somewhere that would ship it to Australia! You don't want to know how much my man ended up forking out for this, so pricy so lucky I am head over heels for it :)
DeleteOh sweetie really lovely your makeup!

So pretty in pink! Those food pics are making me hungry. Looks delicious!
ReplyDelete@olgiepolgie Thanks! The food was so, so good.
DeleteO-M-G - shouldn't have gone onto your post when I'm hungry. The food! LUSH!!! Me? What did I get up to? Well, nothing, but I didn't have to cook that day. Nothing to do with Valentine's Day though. More because I didn't thaw the meat in time...hahaha..whatever that gets me off from cooking! Anyway, I am soooo envious of your lashes lady!! xx
ReplyDelete@Norlin Even in hindsight looking at these photos makes me hungry again, it was so good. Haha love the ways you get outta cooking ;P I am envious of a lot about you my lady, but I'll take the lash comment because it makes me feel good :) xx
DeleteLove the look of that Laura Mercier palette!
ReplyDelete@Sarah It is amazing, not out in Australia till last half of this year but definitely worth keeping an eye out for.
DeleteI'm not a Stila fan but that blusher looks so cute.
ReplyDelete@Ling any reason why you aren't a Stila fan? My bestie has quite a few of their shadows (bought by me) that are nice, and I have their cream colour bases but that is all I have tried. A very cute heart blush, they bring out a new version each year :)
DeleteSuper pretty and romantic look :) And ummm where did you get the LM Artist palette?! I need it in my life.
ReplyDelete@sleepandwater Exactly the kind of look I was going for :) I bought mine from ebay (well, my man did technically!) but from what I've spoken to the LM PR with, it won't be out in the first half of this year :( I will definitely keep you updated if I hear news though. And yes, you do need it, it is even more amazing than the one we already have!
DeleteI celebrated with my boyfriend by going out for a lovely dinner and watching dvds with a glass of wine. First time I've ever done anything for Valentine's, but it was wonderful!
ReplyDelete@Angie that sounds like a wonderful Valentine's Day! DVD watching is underrated, can be so lovely :)
DeleteOooh you look sooo pretty here - very dreamy and all eyes. Just beautiful xo
ReplyDelete@Vita Thank you!! Dreamy, that is a good word to describe the look of Plum Smoke, spot on. xo
DeleteThat Stila blush looks soooo pretty!
ReplyDelete@Gaby isn't it the cutest?! They have a new one out with is four square shades with L.O.V.E imprinted on, so cute.
DeleteThe Stila blush and Laura Mercier palette looks awesome. Love this look; looks beautiful and definitely romantic-suited for the theme xx
ReplyDelete@Mandy Glad you think that I nailed the 'romantic' look! x
