 I have recently bought this eyeshadow. The colour it shows up depends on your skin tone and I wouldn't really recommend it for people with very light skin tones as it doesn't really show up. My skin tone in tanned/medium brown and I have to put a few coats of it to show up as bronzy gold. The texture is lovely and the application is quite easy (I use it as eyeshadow or eyeliner but I think it works really well as an eyeliner).

 It is a beautiful colour. it works really well with a bronze look.  It works especially well if you use a highlighter under the brow with gold eyeshadow.  The consistency is a mousse/crème. It lasts for up to 8-10 hours.

So I have been using these for the past month and have seen all the negative reviews re its use - too oily, doesn't spread well, colour too pale and mostly I agree but there is a really neat way to use this stick to speed  up your morning routine.

1. Use a base foundation (ideally a compact) first to even out your face texture
2. Apply the stick as per instructions (I used light/medium) but you can go for a darker tone if you have lighter skin (yes - that shows the contouring contrast better on top of your foundation)
3. Now to remove the "oily" feel of the stick dab your face with transparent matte face powder (I recommend Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder Transparent 1 or even a light shade of Mac's Studio Fix). The matte powder will remove the "oily" feel without affecting your contouring

That's it! Its a really good quick fix for morning routines but I would still using liquid foundation for contouring in general as that gives the best "air brush" finish!

Waterside walk - The Little Mermaid (Den Lille Havfrue)

Waterside walk - The Little Mermaid (Den Lille Havfrue) 

Rating: 4 out of 5

 

In Nyhavn, there is a really pleasant waterside walk leading to Hans Christian Andersen's Little Mermaid statue.

The Little Mermaid herself was very over-crowded and very difficult to appreciate (having hot dog sellers and beverage stalls crowded next to each other didn't help!). If you go for the walk, I don't recommend the boat ride as the boat gets very crowded and pretty much covers everything on your walk plus the walk is a far more pleasant experience - you even encounter a replica of Michelangelo's David!

Went for dinner

Food is ok but didn't actually try the bbq. Dumplings were very crispy fried so not great. Chicken tasted a bit old to me. The hot pot was very nice though 

Service was good and good atmosphere 

Not sure I would go back

Winter Wonderland, London

Really nice place but I wish there were more things to do for babies over 6 months. Maybe a Merry go round? Great place, good ambience and atmosphere.

 However the rides are extremely and unnecessarily expensive.  Also it could be organised better to disperse the crowd 

Not sure if I would visit again for the rides but would do for the mini pancakes with Nutella!!!!
