I love getting dressed up for Valentines Day whether Cal and I are sitting at home watching a film or going out for a meal or a drink. This year Cal and I are going out to dinner and getting our favourite meal, curry! Not a very romantic meal I know but we love it!
For the evening I have already planned out my makeup for the night and it is a really easy gold bronzey look which is basically all I wear lately. For my base I am going to wear my all time favourite dewy foundation, L'Oreal True Match in shade Rose Vanilla. This foundation gives my skin a flawless healthy glow which is just want I want for Valentines. To give my skin even more glow I am going to be adding the Tanya Burr Face Illuminator which I love to mix in with foundations. When I mix it with matte foundations it adds some subtle glow to my skin and when I mix it with more dewy foundations, it keeps my foundation topped up with glow instead of becoming dull during the day. To prime my skin for my foundation I am going to be using my new favourite primer the Mac Prep + Prime Skin Base which I have used everyday since getting it last month.
On my cheeks I will be using a mix of the Tanya Burr Beautifully Defined palette and the Revolution Vivid Baked Bronzer in Golden Days. The Tanya Burr palette is absolutely beautiful and I love using it for bronzed glowy looks. I will be using Caramel Kiss to bronze and slightly contour my cheeks and topping that up with the Revolution Baked Bronzer. Then adding Champagne Shimmer on the top which is a beautiful highlighter.
On my eyes I'm going to use the three shades in the Tanya Burr Beautifully Defined palette to create a golden shimmer eye look to match my cheeks. I also have the Seventeen Easy On The Eye Birthday Suit palette on hand too which has some amazing nude/golden shades which would work well with the Tanya Burr shades.
On the lips I have two different options because I am someone who changes my mind way to often. The first option is my mini Charlotte Tilbury Red Carpet Red lipstick which is my favourite red at the minute and is the perfect red for Valentines. I also have my old favourite The Clinique Pop Lip Colour in Bare Pop which I always talk about because it is such a good moisturising nude. To add a little something to the nude lip I also have the Newlook High Shine Lip Glaze in Rose Gold to pop on top. I love adding this shimmer nude lip gloss on moisturising and matte nude lips.
What are you doing for Valentines Day? Whether your going out with your partner or staying in with your friends, I hope you have a great day/night!

Cal and I agreed to not do anything big for Valentine's since his birthday was a week away and February would be a very expensive month. So we planned to just go out for a meal and then a chilled weekend.
Saturday
The first fail of the night was that we left it too late to book a table at any of our favourite restaurants so I took it upon myself to cook Cal dinner to make it a bit more special then getting a take away. If you know me then you would know that the only things I can cook are pasta, spag bol and lasagne and that is only because they are my favourite dishes, so agreeing to cook something new for the first time is always going to end badly for me.
I choose to cook chicken parmesan because both me and Cal love chicken, chicken chicken chicken. I thought it wouldn't be to hard and it looked delicious.
I had to work all day on the Saturday so I only had the Friday night to pick up all the pieces I needed for the following night. I finished work at 6 and came straight home to start preping, long story short, my sauce that I needed to cover my chicken and spaghetti was too runny, it looked nothing like the photos haha. Cal still ate it like a good boyfriend so maybe it wasn't that bad but I didn't enjoy it.
For the rest of the night we watched a girlie film since it was valentines which was Beastly (which is good so go watch it) and then chilled in bed being lazy and watching crappy TV.
Sunday
The next morning Cal went out early to go play in a football match and like the good girlfriend I am... I bailed to stay in my big comfy warm bed hehe. By the time the game had finished and we were both washed and dressed we decided to go for a walk round a country park called Summer Leys. We both enjoy going for walks so that was the perfect Sunday for us.
We went back to mine for a big roast courtesy of my mother and then had another chilled night in bed watching Too Gear which is now become a Sunday hobby of ours.
We didn't have a very exciting Valentines weekend but it was just the way we liked it. Sometimes you just need a simple plan to enjoy days like these :)
