I know I’m breaking tradition by adding this post on top of my usual two posts per week.

But today is my Birthday!
I don’t usually talk about or celebrate birthdays (mine in particular). For me, I spend the day quietly, while secretly waiting for people to just show up with presents – it’s not too much to ask for, is it?

And if I get beauty related presents, all the better!
Unfortunately, Mr Lubz doesn’t “get” hints – subtle, strong or otherwise. He needs me to point out and list out what I want and he will get it for me. It does take the romance and the surprise out of the whole affair, but hey, I get what I want! So, no complaints from me!
As I write this blog post today, I’m currently at 97 followers on Instagram. I’m hoping that today, it tips over to the three digit mark – the big 100.
My look today was achieved with these wonderful products.
Face:
- Loreal Paris True Match Foundation in 6N
- Revlon blush in Flushed
Eyes:
- Elizabeth Arden Golden Opulence Quad as eyeshadow
- Stila waterproof liquid liner
- Maybelline New York volume push up drama mascara
- Rimmel London Brow this way
Lips:
- Maybelline New York matte lipstick in Divine Wine
Are you like me and prefer a quiet day in on your birthday, with people just dropping in presents without the whole celebration hoopla? Or do you need a party?
