Week in photographs.

Last week was horrible but this week, I pulled myself together and got on with doing what I needed to do.

After therapy on Monday, I went to Superdrug to get some hair dye and also picked up two eyeshadow trios by MUA. I had heard good things about their make-up from a friend of mine and as the eyeshadow only cost £2.50 each, I figured that it wouldn't be a huge waste of money if I ended up not liking them.

However, I tried them out when I got home and was stunned by how good the staying power is. I would recommend using eyeshadow primer underneath it, though. It'll fade extremely quickly otherwise. I'm definitely getting more eyeshadow trios from them in the near future. That's how impressed I am.

In case anyone's interested, I got Pink Sorbet and Chocolate Box.

Last week, I entered a competition on Twinings to win a box of one of their Everyday teas. I forgot about it but on Saturday evening, I was looking at my e-mail inbox and saw that I won a box. Of course, I ordered it straight away. There were four to choose from so it was a difficult decision but I ended up going with the peppermint blend.

It arrived on Wednesday just before I went out and I tried it when I got home. I love it! Once again, Twinings have managed to get the balance right.

I spent Wednesday afternoon at Caffe Nero with one of my best friends catching up and chain-smoking. I had a slice of red velvet cake, dark chocolate & truffle cheesecake, a mint milkshake and pots of Earl Grey, English Breakfast and green tea. I also had a bit of my friend's strawberry shortcake which was absolutely lovely. I've now made trying all of the cakes there (with the exception of their cappuccino one as I hate coffee) a goal.

Unfortunately, tea isn't one of Caffe Nero's strengths. Their cakes, however, are a completely different story.

I saw another friend yesterday evening and went to a bar/restaurant in Soho for shots and dinner before heading off to Ed's Diner for rum & dark chocolate alcoshakes. Neither of us like the food much but love the alcoshakes. It's a shame there are only two.

I hope this week has treated everyone well!
