BEAUTY
So I had to nip to Saudi Arabia this week for a short business trip and although this may not be the most glamorous of destinations, one thing that I love about traveling is an airport beauty haul. This trip I was actually very good and only walked away with one lipstick, this Tom Ford classic Spanish Pink. I could have bought some of Tom's (yes, we're on first name basis) summer special shades but I was pulled away in a hurry and had to make a quick impulse purchase.
I have heard that TF lipsticks cost 12p to make (gulp) but to be honest, knowing the incredible margin he is making from me doesn't stop me from shopping his products; this lipstick is going on and staying on all night and for me, that is worth the expense. Plus technically you do not have to reapply so often and therefore lasts a lot longer than a MAC lipstick, so you don't have to buy them as often (I can justify any expenditure if you give me time).
I already have Tom's Blush Nude which I do love, but I am finding that with a tan its a little bit too pale for me at the moment and bordering a Jerseylicious look, which is never good. I have a picture of it below so you can see the difference in the shades, they are very similar but Spanish Pink has a warmer tone.
