CREATING MOMENTS OF PARADISE

17/08/2017
When I think about moments of paradise, many things come to mind. The pure white sandy beaches of the Maldives (I mean, I’ve never been but it looks like a dream on everybody else in the world’s instagram – I’m not bitter, I’m not bitter, I’m not bitter.) Cosy evenings in with blankets and hot chocolate and anything that can be even vaguely described as hygge. Travelling the world. Chasing sunsets…. it’s the little, and sometimes big, things that make you never want to move or be anywhere else.

But one of my all time favourite moments of paradise are those precious hours before meeting your best friends for a girly brunch or dinner and drinks. The ones when you’re in no rush, you can whack on an episode of your favourite series – Suits or Grey’s Anatomy, I can’t choose between you both because that would be like choosing a favourite child – chill with your favourite tipple (I went for a rose prosecco because gal pal needed an added dose of sass), some snacks, and slowly do your makeup amongst 2493843 cushions and the cosiest blankets you can find.

The dream….

Makeup time. I have to say, I am one of those people that just loves spending a lot of time even doing the simplest of makeup looks. I love trying out new products and fangirling over old ones, but my newest discovery and love of my life – no seriously, I think I may actually be in love with it – is the Loreal Lash Paradise mascara. Now, I’d heard lots of good things about this including that the formulation was similar to Too Face’s Better than sex mascara and omg it is all of the good things people have been saying and so much more.


Seriously, guys, this mascara has within the space of a week become my all time favourite mascara because it gives such intense volume and length but without even the tiniest amount of spider lashes. It just makes your lashes completely full and fluttery and personally just how I love my lashes to look.


The brush is an absolute dream, it’s ultra soft and coats lashes with a silky smooth formula, enriched with lash-loving castor oil which is what makes the lashes feel so soft and fluttery and not at all flakey [insert hands in the air emoji here].


But it’s not just me that is majorly fangirling over it, in a recent study, 90% saw intense and volumised lashes, more than 98% saw a lengthening effect and 91% agreed that it didn’t flake. Pretty damn impressive Loreal!


In case you couldn’t already tell, I absolutely adore it and for me is the final touch to finish off my makeup and pull the whole look together.

Because it doesn’t matter if you’re about to see your gal pals in a couple of hours, a good ole natter and catch up is always necessary right? Once I’ve done my makeup – or usually half way through making me late but whatevs – I nearly always end up on the phone to one of my favourite girls which usually ends up in tears of laughter. For me, nothing makes me happier than laughter and friendship and surrounding yourself with the people who matter most to you. And yes I am totally aware that it’s cheesier than the Camembert I’m about to demolish as a breakfast snack but this really is my kinda paradise!

There’s no such thing as a pamper party for one without some sexy, sugary treats the size of your head so get the cupcakes in, get your fizz at the ready and snack away til your heart’s content because in paradise we don’t limit ourselves (I mean, I don’t limit myself ever which is kind of a problem) but in paradise we go all out because nothing matters!

As does wearing nail polish that makes me feel ever so slightly like a sassy astronaut but also a little bit like Beyonce (so you better believe that I will never be taking it off). I am one of those people that nearly always refuses to pay for a manicure because I actually find it strangely therapeutic doing it myself, so a little mani always finishes off my pre-“off to have the best time with the girls, bye world” moment of paradise, always!

So now I’ve finished talking about my favourite moment of paradise (can I please crawl back home into bed and arrange a girly brunch rather than being in meetings please and thank you?) it’s time to wrap this up. Its funny really, that I’m writing this in amongst a pretty hectic and stressful day but just talking about my favourite things has brought a layer of lovely, calm, zen over and made me realise that maybe I need to prioritise the things I love a little more than just being a complete and utter workaholic. 


Anyway, workaholic or not, one thing that I never want to stop working for me is the Loreal Lash paradise mascara because right now it is genuinely my favourite thing in my makeup bag and one item that I am begging you to run out and try (because you will love it, thank me later). It just instantly coats the lashes and makes them thicker, longer and fuller in a matter of strokes… Lash paradise!


I would love to know if you’ve tried the Loreal Lash paradise mascara yet? What is your ultimate moment of paradise? I always love hearing your thoughts 🙂

As always, thanks so much for reading!

  17. I live in UK. My life is back!!! After 2 years of Broken marriage, my husband left me with two kids, I felt like ending it all, i almost committed suicide because he left us with nothing, i was emotionally down all this while. Thanks to a spell caster called Dr. Ogbefi of solution spell cast which i met on-line. On one faithful day, as I was browsing through the internet, I came across several of testimonies about this particular spell caster. Some people testified that he brought their Ex lover back, some testified that he restores womb,cure cancer,and other sickness, some testified that he can cast a spell to stop divorce and also spell to get a good paid job so on. He is amazing, i also come across one particular testimony, it was about a woman called Vera, she testified about how he brought back her Ex lover in less than 2 days, and at the end of her testimony she dropped his email solutionoflovespelltemple@hotmail.com. After reading all these, I decided to give it a try. I contacted him via email and explained my problem to him. In just 48 hours, my husband came back to me. We resolved our issues, and we are even happier than ever. Dr. Ogbefi you are a gifted man and i will not stop publishing him because he is a wonderful man. If you have a problem and you are looking for a real and genuine spell caster, Try him any time, he is the answer to your problems. you can contact him on solutionoflovespelltemple@hotmail.com, he is the best caster that can help you with your problems. And also Reach him on WhatsApp Number: +2349057915709 Thanks Dr Ogbefi solutionoflovespelltemple@hotmail.com

  18. Mascara is seriously amazing. Before pursuing any eye makeup I always apply Revitol eye cream. Its non-greasy formula and active ingredients used in the composition of the cream, eye cream by Revitol has the ability to bring back the young look and restore the beauty of your eyes.
