Forks and Brushes

This weekend, I....

On my last Foodie Friday #22 Battle of Ramen in London , at the end of it I mentioned I was going to try the new Tonkotsu bar in Selfridges, which I did!

Selfridges is having their sale on! Across the store some of the reductions are unbelievable. I normally get fairly lucky and I can find a bargain. Sometimes it’s makeup products, other times are shoes or handbags. This time, I bought a phone battery charger! I seem to be discovering some cute chargers recently, like my J Crew charger , which I am absolutely love! This time, it is a Marc Jacobs charger with phone case! The price? Sit tight – It was reduced from £85 to £10!! £10!!! Even for a Marc Jacobs phone case is a bargain, let alone it comes with a cute charger that can provide a full charge!

This is my 3rd and final post in my Xmas guide series. If you have missed my previous guides, you can click here for my Gift Guide for over £25, and here my 2nd guide for Gifts £25 or under. This post is all about stocking filler, gifts for the tree, secret santa, added extras to a main gift - They are basically gifts £10 under. And yes, there are quite a good selection out there too!!

I cannot possibly title this post as "Review & Swatches" as how could I comment on one of my all time  idol Charlotte Tilbury's own makeup range. However, what I am going to do is to share what I have bought in her pop up store. You can have a read of my visit  here . Charlotte Tilbury is launching her own makeup brand in Selfridges London on Monday 2nd Sep. Prior to the official launch, she set up a pop-up store to give a sneak preview of her eye makeup range. And I have bought 5 items:

I have been a fan of Charlotte Tilbury for quite some time. I watched a lot of her tutorials on YouTube, and always admire how effortless she made everything look. But I'd never thought one day I would able to chat with her & bring a piece (actually I bought 5 pieces of her products) of her home!!! And today, it all came true! Charlotte is launching her  own make up range - it is not at all a small collection, it has a array of beautiful eye palettes, eye pencils & crayons, mascara, lip products, foundations & powders, tools (brushes & eyelashes curler), eye makeup remover, and her legendary magic cream.  Prior to the official launch date of 2nd September, she has a pop-up store in Selfridges for an exclusive sneak peak of her eye makeup range.

From time to time, I will have nights where I am on my own, not wanting to go home just yet after work. In these nights, my favourite place to go is Selfridges. And in these nights, my favourite place to eat is The Food Garden Cafe - the top floor food court inside Selfridges .
