This weekend I’m up in Rye on the Mornington Peninsula,
celebrating my sixth anniversary with Mister Bovary. I’m pretty excited that this is
the last ‘dating’ anniversary before we get married, and we’ve planned to try
some new restaurants and head down to Portsea to walk through the Point Nepean National
Park. I’m hoping that it doesn’t rain too much during the day so that we can
take Charlie for a nice long walk through the hills too, but we’ll have to play
that one by ear.
I tried to stay
relatively minimal with my beauty considering we’re only away for two nights,
but nice breakfast dates and heading out to dinners gave me excuse enough to
bring along some of my beloved pink lip products. I bargained with myself,
allowing one blush and one eyeshadow palette along in order to make up for the
craziness that is my lip stash. I tried to cut down on heavy items too (even
though we’re heading up in the car) so I brought some perfume samples and my
new YSL mascara sample to play around with. Some of my skincare is mini sized
too but I didn’t snap a picture of that bag. I think I'm just gearing up really early for a honeymoon full of mini-sized products - I'm getting so ahead of myself with lots of wedding things still to plan!
I forgot to include my Rimmel matte BB cream in the photos
but I popped it in the skincare bag along with the new La Roche-Posay sunscreen
I’m trialling (will be important for our walks!) I thought long and hard about
which eyeshadow palette to bring with me and ended up with my Too Faced Natural
Eye palette, I haven’t used this one very much at all so this will be a nice
way to push myself into it (I definitely won’t be using that horrible glittery
shade though! Really glad they reshuffled this palette and took out the dud
shade, but sad that I already own the old version…)
Hop on over to Instagram if you want to see snaps of my
weekend – I hope you have a wonderful weekend whatever you get up to!
