Photo perfect: a week in pictures

Sometimes you just want to share with the world your favourite things! These aren't all necessarily fashion or beauty related but here's just a few of the things we've been loving this week.

If you want to see more of our pictures why not follow us on Twitter - we tweet about the blog @HEBeautifulLife or individually we're at @unicornvintage (Emma) or @haztastical (Harriet, also on instagram with the same name!).

EMMA:

This is my new necklace from Topshop which I'm absolutely in love with / My new YSL lipstick is a must have, this one is 14 Corail In Touch £24 / My little grandson loves Topshop just as much as I do, he was trying on this headband to show his Aunty Sian how cool he looked!

Love my own sundae creation made out of greek yoghurt, meringue, raspberries and ice cream / When I saw these cute heart bracelets in H&M I just had to have them, they're so sweet / This hair oil was a total bargain at £1.99 from Bodyshop, it really makes your hair sleek and smooth - go get some girls!

I did a photo shoot last week - the models looked truly amazing in my vintage clothes, all of the clothes featured are from the shop / These new trainers are super cool and the most comfy things on my feet - ASOS £50 / I just can't get enough of magazines!

HARRIET:

Hairpins from Emma's shop, loving using these when I have my hair in a bun / Been living off Cafe Nero milkshake recently! Their new chocolate and coconut one is lush but the mint is my all time fave / I saw this card and just had to buy it, it's on my wall at work - so true!

Loving cute pink lips for the spring! This lipstick is from MUA, I've had it a while but it's a definite spring colour / I'm now officially RYA Level 1! Learning to sail is so much fun, I'd recommend it to anyone / I bought this amazing silver bracelet from Emma, it's got a lovely pattern and just needs a little TLC to get it shining again!

I'm playing this song constantly on the way to and from work, when I'm jogging, anywhere! Love it / This is my new jumper from Emma's shop, wearing it today even though it's probably too warm for jumpers right now! / This amazing cupcake was absolutely delicious, yum yum!

Working Wonders Wednesday: our favourite make up

Just as with the beauty products we posted on Saturday (click here if you haven't seen them!), there are certain make up essentials that we just couldn't live without! So on this cold, wet and windy Wednesday we thought we'd share the products that keep us looking fab even when the weather's not!

EMMA:

Lipgloss

I just can't live without it! And I love tinted products which give that glow to your lips even if you're not wearing lipstick.

MUA make-up

It's a massive bargain with so much of their stuff on sale for £1. I especially love their eyeshadows and lipsticks.

Dior mascara

I love this mascara as it gives your lashes such a full effect and really opens up your eyes!

YSL blusher

This blusher really lasts all day and gives your cheeks an amazing colour, what more could you want from a blusher?

Elizabeth Arden bronzer

This bronzer is absolutely amazing, it has sparkly glitter in it which gives your face a fresh glow.

HARRIET:

So Susan Wide Awake palette

You can tell by the state of the box how much I've used this product since picking it up at the Clothes Show back  in December. It's got a highlighter, illuminator and an eyebrow kit which is great for me as I'm a little bit obsessed with eyebrows!

Maybelline gel eyeliner

My sister recommended this to me and I have to agree with her that it's a lovely product, and there's something really nice about using the gel rather than a kohl or a liquid liner.

Rimmel eyebrow pencil

This little pencil sadly came back from Saturday's night out without a lid so I'll definitely be purchasing another one - probably about my fourth repurchase which is the measure of how much I like it! It's the perfect colour and used in conjunction with the So Susan eyebrow kit it makes me feel much happier about my brows!

MUA eyeshadows

I've got three of these palettes and they've pretty much ensured all my other eyeshadows stay constantly in the drawer. They're really pigmented considering the price and there's a fab range of colours. 

MUA lipstick in shade 8

I've got pretty much every MUA lipstick but over the winter I've really been enjoying this one, there's something about a red sparkly lip that really cheers you up!

Rimmel lipstick in 338 midnight plum

For about six months now this has been my go-to lipstick for a night out, I'm trying to wean myself off it and use some of my other colours but I just really love this shade on!

Collection pressed powder

This powder doesn't cost the earth, it's a good colour and it stays on for ages - job done!

We hope you've liked having a sneaky rummage through our make up collections!
