NARS have recently released a new foundation which is good news as I'm already a big fan of the Sheer Glow and the tinted moisturiser! It's called the All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation which is a bit of a mouthful but at least it says it how it is! Finally NARS have a foundation that comes with a pump and doesn't need to be purchased separately and this was the fist thing I noticed. I'm still giving it a trial run so I'll let you know how I get on but first impressions are: it's not quite as 'weightless' as I expected, it actually gives quite a heavy coverage, it has a very runny formula and sits somewhere between a traditional liquid foundation and an oil based foundation.

Rich and I have recently got into a new TV series that's currently only available on Amazon Prime. It's called Transparent and is about an LA family "with serious boundary issues who have their past and future unravel when a dramatic admission causes everyone's secrets to spill out". It's really easy to get into as everything starts to happen right from the first episode. It's hilarious, touching and Jeffrey Tambor is brilliant as the transgender father. I'd definitely recommend it although not if you're under 16 or you're watching it with a parent... #awkward.
EATS //
Remember in my Wear Life Eats post a couple of weeks ago I told you about my friends and I having a new year's resolution to try a different cuisine every month, well this week was our first dinner date! We went to Lalibela Ehtiopian in Tufnell Park and we all really enjoyed it. The food (and atmosphere!) was really interesting and I enjoyed experiencing a new type of cuisine. The food which is a lot of sauces and stews is served on and with Injera which is a sour quite rubbery bread. You wrap the food up in the bread and the sour taste works nicely with the slightly spicy flavours in the food. We had a great night that also ended with a traditional coffee ceremony (and popcorn!). I vlogged the evening so look out for that on Tuesday. Next month we are going to try food from Afghanistan so we're on the hunt for another great London restaurant if you know any? I'm loving this New Year's Resolution so far!
