Battersea Power Station Cocktails

Travel

Hey guys,

While I was in London over the weekend I visited the new and improved Battersea Power Station!

Like everyone else, I’ve been seeing people visiting Battersea Power Station all over social media so I was very curious to visit ~

This was so delicious

Battersea Power Station is now a modern shopping mall that cost over 9 billion pounds to create, funded by the Malaysian Royal Family. One of the main attractions there is the cocktail bar called ‘The Control Room’ which is in the exact location the old control room used to be with some of the old controls still in the background!

There is even a guide who will talk you through the history of the Power Station while you have a drink! Shout out to the barista Claudia who took this sweet photo of us ❤

The atmosphere in the Control Room was really calm and sophisticated. It felt late at night even thought it was 2pm in the afternoon ~

Obligatory group cocktail photo ❤

I highly recommend visiting Battersea is you find yourself in London and want something different to do that is not typically ‘touristy’. And make sure you visit the Control Room and say hi to Claudia 😉 x

Love

A New Lip!

Beauty

//Hey guys,

How was your weekend? How did you spend it?

I spent mine (my Saturday at least) doing some quite intensive retail therapy! I took a trip up to Manchester to the Trafford Centre mall for a mooch about and quite few nice things caught my eye… 😉

Two of the things I bought were Claris Natural Lip Perfectors from the make-up department in John Lewis.












































Clarins is somewhere I have only started shopping at since October last year as I don’t really branch out with my make-up too much. I was on a flight to Cyprus and a Clarins shop assistant gave me a free test bag of items to try. One of the items that was in the bag was a lip perfector and…long story short I’ve been obsessed ever since.

The one I originally got on my flight was a clear perfector that I have been blending with my lipsticks to make a more subtle lip stick look. On Saturday I branched out and bought two pigmented perfectors and I think they look great!! One is a light red and the other a subtle pink colour – I’m wearing the red one above.

The reason I love these so much is because they have a rough sort of lip brush (poor description I’m so sorry) so that when you apply the product it gets rid of all the dry skin/imperfections on your lips making them look smooth and feel great. I also love how the colours look really natural and not over powering like lipstick often does.

In the pictures above the only make-up I have on my face is the lip perfector! And I think it looks so natural! I can NEVER wear a lipstick without a modest face of make-up, as it think it looks a bit weird? But this I think looks great :).

I also think the packaging is so chic and cute! I’m going to be buying these again in the future for sure. //
