Mac's new Love Me Lipstick

The wonderful people at Mac have brought out a new lipstick. I have to say, I am a bit of a makeup fanatic! I love trying new products. This latest lipstick is called the Love Me Lipstick and I stopped at a makeup counter yesterday in House of Fraser to try it.

It is great! The lipstick has been designed to feel really soft on your lips. It is a weightless argan oil-infused lipstick, which is why it feels so gentle. That said, I found that it also really delivered on colour. I tried a bright red shade because I love statement lips at the moment. It looked fabulous and lasted for hours. Definitely one I want to recommend :)

Ideas for spring break by Patricia Bech

If you are thinking about planning a spring holiday, there are plenty of places to consider. It is important to think about whether you want to enjoy some Easter skiing at a ski resort, plan to head off to find some sun or simply want a change of scenery and to embark on a city break. I have lots of ideas of places to visit over at my Patricia Bech Travel Notes.

I always like to have some type of getaway planned for early in the year. After a long winter in the UK this year and putting up with the stormy conditions, it is nice to have something to look forward to.

Paris is among the recommendations by Patricia Bech for a Spring break

If you are looking for a few quick ideas to explore, here is a summary of some of my favourite places to visit early on in the year:

• Skiing in Europe: With France, Switzerland, Austria and Italy all on the doorstep, there are plenty of opportunities for you to enjoy some snow before it is too late. 
• Sunshine in Morocco: Marrakesh is particularly appealing in spring because you will find a warmer temperature and also a healthy dose of culture. 
• Romance in Paris: Paris is one of the most romantic cities in the world. It is a lovely place to visit in spring and also not too far away. 
• Fun in the Caribbean: The weather is still nice and warm in the Caribbean come spring and it is just ahead of the stormy season, so make the most of the climate before it turns. 
• Lovely London: If you don't want to leave the UK but still want a mini break, then London is lovely for a city escape. There is so much to do in the city.
