This Week #12

Sunday, May 25, 2014

Wow, what a week. This week I somehow managed to fit in 9 exams in 5 days. Crazy. At least I only have a new left now and they're not to be sat until a few weeks time. You know what that means? Blogging time! I feel like I've neglected my blog lately because all of the posts have been scheduled and not put up on the day they were written. It feels good to be back in the swing of things for another week, get things scheduled and back to exams in a week's time!

Nails of the Week: My nails this week have been a plain Jane shade - Grey by Barry M. Barry M are actually one of my favourite nail brands because the formulas are amazing (no chips in sight!), the shade range is huuuge and they only cost a few pounds. I've been loving neutral nails at the moment because they go with all outfits - you don't have the dilemma where you go out wearing a yellow dress, forgetting you have illuminous pink nail polish on!

Rave of the Week: I think this has to be my Anastasia Brow Wiz. I hated this thing to begin with because I felt like I had to press on my brows really hard for the colour to pick up. However, I tried it again last week after shopping my stash, I used a light hand and although it took a while to get the hang of, my brows looked naturally full and defined. It's so much more natural looking than using powder and I've completely fallen in love with it.



This Week #11

Sunday, April 20, 2014
Yay! Another edition of This Week is finally back. I've been really into planning and scheduling posts recently and unfortunately, that means I can't often do these kind of posts. I actually love doing these posts and sharing my favourite things from that week. So, without further ado, here's my week!


Rave of the Week: I think this one has to be the Rimmel Apocalips in Across The Universe. I'm more of a matte kinda girl when it comes to coloured lips, but in a bid to venture in to the world of gloss, I picked this up and am completely in love. The perfect mixture of red vampiness with gloss for the people who are quite afraid of looking like your lips are dripping with water. Perfect.


Watch of the Week: This week I've really been loving Lauren Curtis' YouTube videos. I've been subscribed to her channel from when she first began uploading and her's is the only channel where I can watch a makeup tutorial and not find myself checking Twitter half way through. Can we please also mention Lauren's hair? Serious hair envy over here.



This Week #10

Sunday, March 09, 2014
Yay! Another series of This Week is back! I'm actually planning on doing this little feature every other week because it then slots in perfectly if I post every other day... If that makes sense. I know it's very cliche of me to say but the weeks are really flying by, it only felt like New Year a few days ago!

Meenie snoozing // Pancake Day // Fish are friends, not food // Blog post coming soon
This week has been a busy one, blog-wise. I've started a brand new blog organisation spreadsheet and it feels so good to have everything planned. I'm such a control freak, so having posts planned and scheduled up to the middle of April is perfect for me! We've been decorating this week too, and I managed to snap a few snippets that you'll see pop up over here very soon. 

Watch of the Week: Although it came out a few weeks back, Miranda Sing's cover of Timber never fails to make me laugh and if you're feeling down, this is the perfect way to cheer yourself up. There hasn't been a time that I've watched it without crying with laughter - even in bed, on my own. It's hilarious. You must watch this, I'm giggling to myself just thinking about it! I actually shown my mum, too and she was in stitches, haha.

Hype of the Week: I think this week's hype has to be waking up, checking Facebook and noticing that Estee shared that Sephora now ships to the UK! My wishlist is growing more and more by the day, but the £10 shipping means I need to save up and do a huge haul all at once so I'm not shedding out hundreds on shipping & handling fees! A few of my lusts at the moment are; the OCC Lip Tar in Jealous, the Kat Von D Lock-It Tattoo foundation and also the Sephora Flatter Yourself Contouring Brush Set.

this week #9

Sunday, February 09, 2014
Another week has passed, and here we are once again. This week saw the first upload onto my YouTube channel with the filming of my January Favourites. It's actually really nerve-wracking uploading a video to YouTube - it's a very different world to that of the blogging world!


Video of the Week: Now that I've successfully uploaded my first video, it's time for some shameless plugging. My favourite of all three to film was the Get Ready With Me: Shopping Day as even though it's a scary feeling to put my "naked face" out for everyone else to see, I like to see the transformation that makeup can make. It's also a really easy tutorial to follow and pretty much my everyday makeup routine, minus the lip colour!

Wish of the Week: I think this has to be the YSL nail polish in Bleu Majorelle. This is such a gorgeous shade and I have nothing in my collection similar to it. I think this will definitely have to remain as nothing more than a 'wish' because the whopping £18.50 price tag attached to is is stupidly ridiculous!

This Week #8

Sunday, February 02, 2014
It's my birthday week! It's been a pretty good week - I got my new camera and so many other presents that I'm so thankful for. I also went for a meal with my family yesterday which was lovely - look out for photos arriving on here soon! For the eighth time, here is my week in photos...

@ELISE_DOPSON
The Best Coffee // Birthday hair and makeup // NARS Sheer Glow // Beyonce tickets came! // Things that make me happy
Product of the Week: For me, the product of the week has to have been my new camera. I got the Canon 600D for my birthday from my dad and I am so in love with it. Because I'm attempting to post more of my life on here, I've been loving using this to take photos of my clothes and family to share with you all!

Launch of the Week: This year, my birthday has fallen in a pretty good spot. There are so many launches coming out over the next and previous few days that it's a good place to ask for birthday presents! The launch that I've found the most exciting, however, is Tanya Burr's Lip and Nail collection. I am a regular watcher of her YouTube videos and all of the shades in her lip and nail line are absolutely gorgeous. I'm definitely feeling a review on those soon!

this week #7

Sunday, January 26, 2014
I still can't believe it's almost February! February is one of my favourite months of the year - there's my birthday on the first, snow and the Beyonce concert on the 25th! I can't wait :). For the seventh time (how has it gone by so quickly?!) here is my week in photos...

@ELISE_DOPSON
Firmoo sunglasses // Yummy hot chocolate // Meenie finally stayed still for a photo! // NARS Sheer Glow // UD Primer Potion
Watch of the Week // Zoe and Tanya's video of baking macaroons. I love both of their Youtube channels and they both seem like such lovely ladies. The Lemon Drizzle cake on Tanya's channel looks absolutely delicious - I definitely need to crack my baking skills up a notch and have a go at that!

Read of the Week // A Beautiful Mess' post on Scrapbooking for beginners. Scrapbooking is something that I've always wanted to do but never actually gotten round to doing it. Elsie who wrote this post a) is an amazingly creative person and b) has almost the same name as me. Her photography is stunning as always and also gives you tips about sizing, layout and photography. Definitely a must-read if you're one of the creative bunch!

this week #6

Sunday, January 19, 2014
Yet again, another eventful week for me! This week saw yet another full week of blogging everyday. However difficult it is, it's done! I've also managed to rustle up a schedule from now until mid-February which even though sounds ages away, it sure does come round fast. For the sixth time, here is my week in photos...

@ELISE_DOPSON
Lush Snow Fairy // Meenie got accepted for kitten modelling! // NARS Sheer Glow // I love fresh flowers // H&M hats are the best // John Masters Organics Sea Mist // Emma Hardie Cleansing Balm

Read of the Week: Carin's blog, Paris in Four Months. PIFM is one of my all-time favourite blogs and Carin's photography is literally to die for. I love seeing the photos from her photoshoots with Nicole and I love the way she writes, also.

Product of the Week: NARS Sheer Glow! I finally bought this but even though it's a touch too dark for me, I can blend it in so it's not that noticeable. I've been wanting to try this foundation for such a long time and if you follow me on Twitter, you'll know all about that! I can assure you that there will be a blog post on that up soon!

this week #5

Sunday, January 12, 2014
Here we are, another week passes and another 'this week' is due. This week has been quite a hard one for me but I don't want to go into too much detail because it's a bit "deep" for this blog. Anyway, this week saw me blogging everyday - it seems like I can stick to a New Year's resolution! So, for the fifth time, here is my week in photos...

@ELISE_DOPSON
Essie Winter Collection // Meenie Sleeping // La Roche Posay // Granola is yummy // So is Jo Malone perfume // I love fresh roses
Wish of the week: Everything on my current wishlist, especially the L'Oreal Superliner Perfect Slim. Kylie Jenner is one of my all-time makeup icons; everything she wears seems to look flawless (with Kim K as a sister, it's pretty inevitable!). She recently shared that this is her favourite eyeliner and the one she uses to create her signature winged liner. I'm get to find a good pen-like eyeliner and for only £5.49, it's hard not to give it a whirl!

Must-read of the week: Rosie's recipe about Nutella Stuffed Croissants. How does anyone not want to read a review of these? Plus, her photography makes the read all the more pleasurable. With The Londoner being one of my favourite blogs, it makes me really want to try this out... The only thing restricting me is my New Years resolution to eat healthily. I suppose one won't hurt... Or two... Or three...

What've you been loving this week?

this week #4

Sunday, January 05, 2014
I still think it's crazy how you realise how fast the weeks go when you do weekly round-ups. This week included the drama of my dad's New Year's Eve party and a lot of shopping. I also got my hair cut. It was quite the week! For the fourth time, here is my week in photos...

@ELISE_DOPSON
Bioderma H2O Micellaire Solution // Emma Hardie Cleansing Balm came in the post! // Taking Meenie to the vets for her injections // My top makeup products of 2013 // Burt's Bees Essential Kit // She's so pweeedy!

Repurchase of the Week: My beloved MAC Studio Fix Fluid. I've been using this stuff for months and has been the one and only foundation I've ever repurchased. This stuff is amazing! Read a review here, but beware - it's quite an oldie!

Watch of the Week: Anna's video of her Best Products of 2013. Anna is one of my favourite bloggers/vloggers and I love reading her favourite products with mini-reviews in one big video! Her favourites are similar to mine - we both share the addiction to Space NK so it's inevitable.

Wish of the Week: The NARS lip pencil in Cruella. I'm a sucker for a gorgeous red. I've not actually tried anything from NARS... I know - a beauty blogger with nothing from a big makeup brand. Trust me, I'm as shocked as you are. The mention in Anna's blog didn't help, either.

this week #3

It's not really until you do weekly roundups that you realize how fast the weeks are going. This time next week we'll be only a few days away from Christmas... How crazy is that? I still need to buy more presents! As always, leave me your Instagram name in the comments and for the third time, here is my week in photos.

Sunday, December 08, 2013
Yet again, another Sunday has crept in and it's time to do a round up on the week. As always, make sure to leave me your Instagram usernames so I can have a look - I'm becoming quite obsessed with it. So, for the second time, here is my week in photos.

@elise_dopson
I'm becoming obsessed with cute home decor / MAC Ravishing / Photographing for the blog
Kate Moss 107 / My new kitten! / Forever wishing I suited blonde hair
Delicious lunch / Rimmel Black Cherries / This seems to be her new favourite seating place... Make way for the new cat blogger!

this week #1

Sunday, December 01, 2013
After doing a few series of Sunday Sum-Ups way back in September, I kind of miss doing a round up of my week. I've reverted to the classic "my week on Instagram" because I'm slightly becoming obsessed with it. I love being nosy and finding new Instagram profiles to follow so if you're an addict like me, leave your username in the comments below :)

@elise_dopson
Reading through old blog posts / Hot chocolates on a Winter morning is bliss / Outfit from my walk 
MAC Lovelorn lipstick / Rimmel nail polish in Black Cherries is my favourite colour for Winter / Super easy smokey eye
The Body Shop palette / Winter morning walks / New pyjamas and new sofas are the best
