Giving in to temptation...







Hey Abbie's Beautifuls!
I know i haven't done a blog post in a long while, but I came down with a serious bad cold the other week and I didn' have the energy to blog, or take photos even.
So, I finally bought the Soleil Tan De Chanel... and my oh my is it worth it! When I opened the box and saw the solid glossy black and gold lid... oh it just looked beautiful! Then when I opened the lid inside was the creamy, swirly, whipped bronzer.
I was so excited to try it, I quickly put on some mkeup to test it out and it's FAB! To apply it I used Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman (from pixiwoo on youtube) Contour Brush, I contoured my cheek bones with it and blended it up through the outsides of my face and a little down the centre with what was left on my brush!
The consistency of the product is creamy and luxurious. I swirled the brush around in a circular motion to get the brush full of product and applied one sweep to each contour... I then used what was left on the brush and used a circular motion to blend it out onto my ears and a little across the nose for a sun kissed look!
Overall, I am so please with the Soleil Tan De Chanel... and the bonus is, I thought it cost alot more than just £29. I know it's still a lot but it's worth it as it last all day and the colour is great.
Hope you enjoyed this post. You can get this bronzer HERE!

J'adore Paris...




Bonjour!
Like I said before... I do occasionally like to post a little update of my life on my blog too, not to just have it as a beauty lovers read, but also for you followers to get to know me a little bit...
So, as you know from my older post, where I mentioned a little bit about me and my life so far and where my future is heading, you will know that I have a boyfriend who I have been with for almost two years now. I love him very much, and we are very happy!
Anyway... because our two year anniversary is coming up, we thought we would do something a little special this year, not only have we been together for that long but my boyfriend is also finishing his three year degree in university, so it’s a little break for us to share some time together...

Where are we going? We are going to PARIS!!! (Yaaay!) I love Paris so much, and we have both been there once before, Scott with his family and I went as a college trip. So this time we feel like we can do our own thing, rather than go by a schedule. I am so excited and I can’t wait to take pictures, and MAYBE vlog a little and post it on my youtube channel (which I haven’t posted anything on yet!)

I have a little list of the places I’m dying to go as I’ve heard amazing things about them and I didn’t have the chance to visit them the last time. I will defiantly be taking a trip to Laduree (Click the link for this website, as it is the most adorable website ever!) the ultimately famous brassiere! I will be stuffing my face with Macaroons, and bringing some home as gifts, I hear they taste amazing! I also want to visit the Cafe De Flore, I hear that’s very expensive but the hot chocolate there is supposed to be THE BEST! Also, as part of the package we will be taking the usual tour around all the main attractions, like the Eiffel Tower, The Louvre, Arc De Triumph, Champs Elysees and Notre Dame. I did get to go in the Louvre last time, as I was studying Art in college and I am still interested in art now. I also went right to the top of the Eiffel Tower, which was a little scary but the views were breath taking, I will be doing that again hopefully! We will also be doing a Paris by night tour, which will take us all through Paris to enjoy the attractions all lit up! How romantic?

We will be staying in the Hotel Mercure Paris La Defense 5, it does look very nice, and it is roughly 20 minutes drive from the attractions.

I hope you have enjoyed this post, and I hope it has given you a little help on where to visit if you are going to Paris anytime in the future, it’s such a beautiful place to go and I can not wait!

xoxo
