Boyfriends Birthday

Prime Steak & Grill

Last week was my boyfriends birthday, and as usual, like every year I spoilt him! 

As well as taking him into London for brunch, I took him for a meal at Prime Steak & Grill in Chandlers Cross.

This is the first time either of us have been here, and we will be returning!

The food was amazing and the staff were very friendly!

I'm not the biggest lover of red meat, but Jamie loves it.

Starters

Left: Chicken Liver Paté, Fig and Balsamic Chutney with Sour Dough.

Right: Salt & Pepper Squid, Crunchy Asian Salad with Mango & Lime Chilli Dressing.

Mains

Above: Roast Organic Chicken, Green Beans, Roasting Juices (Gravy) and Triple Cooked Chips.

Below: Surf and Turf (Lobster & Pavé Steak)

Dessert

Chocolate Fudge Brownie with White Chocolate Ice Cream & a Hot Toffee Sauce.

The time then arrived where we ordered cocktails, it would be rude not to right?

Jamie had an Espresso Martini and I had Hurricane Eyes.

Any of you looking for somewhere extremely yummy to go for dinner, and you haven't yet tried this place, then I suggest you book a table!

I'm telling you now, you will not regret it! 

Speak soon,

A Day In London

Boyfriends Birthday Treat

I don't know about anybody else, but for me, giving presents excites me more than receiving them!

On Sunday - 12th June - myself and boyfriend Jamie went into London. 

I had booked us in for Brunch with unlimited Prosecco - oh dear! - at a place called Avenue.

If you love your Prosecco like we do, then I would highly recommend coming here for brunch!

Starters

Our starters were delicious!

Left: Smoked Salmon and Scrambled Egg on Granary Toast.

Right: Egg Benedict, Blythburgh Ham, and Hollandaise Sauce.

Mains

These burgers were to die for!

Left: Buttermilk Chicken Burger and Fries.

Right: Cured Bacon and Cheese Hamburger and Fries.

You can choose whether to have a 2 or 3 course meal, depending on how hungry you are, but by this point we were extremely full up, and the thought of having a dessert was enough to make you pop!

I did however, inform the restaurant when booking, that it was for Jamie's birthday, and they brought out a "Happy Birthday' plate with a little cake and candle!

Once we had finished we went for a walk to Buckingham Palace, where the Patrons Lunch was taking place for the Queens birthday, we couldn't see much as it was all fenced off which was a bit of a shame, so we headed to Green Park where they had a big screen for you to watch it on.

We then moved on to have a mooch around the shops!

I love London and all the amazing looking buildings, it is such a beautiful city!

Here are a few shots I took on the day.

I would love to know if you have been to Avenue and what your thoughts are!

Also, I would love some recommendations of where else to go in London.

Let me know by leaving a comment below!

Speak soon,

My Lipstick Collection

MAC Lipstick Collection & Swatches

I thought I would share with you all my MAC lipstick collection and my thoughts on all the colours.

Its not the biggest collection and a lot of them are nudes - actually, they are all nudes - , but hey, you've got to start somewhere right?

Pink Plaid | Finish - Matte

This is the perfect lipstick if you are after nude pink! I love this colour at the moment as it goes with almost everything. This is actually my sisters, but she is the loveliest and lets me use it! That's what sisters are for though right?

I feel like this lipstick would suit everyone.

Creme Cup | Finish - Creme Sheen

This is probably my go to lippy, I wear this for day wear mostly. Its goes with everything, but you can wear it with any makeup look! Its lovely as it has that creme finish so looks nice and shiny when its on.

Chatterbox | Finish - Amplified Creme

So this colour was a bit of a risky buy! I personally, don't think bright colours suit me, although a lot of people say they do! I don't actually wear this colour much, but think I should start to as it is such a beautiful summery colour!

Peach Blossom | Finish - Creme Sheen

This was the first MAC lipstick that I bought. For me it is very similar to creme cup! As you can see its been very well used, so I'm glad I have others to keep this one going a little bit longer! It is a very nude/peachy colour, so doesn't show up all that much, but it still looks lovely when applied.

Brave | Finish - Satin

Brave is one of my newest colours, and I LOVE it. It is a nudey pink, and makes your lips look amazing! I pair this up with MAC's Soar Lipliner, which is the best combo! It actually makes your lips look a lot plumper even though they aren't!

This colour also goes with pretty much everything!

Velvet Teddy | Finish - Matte

My parents brought me this back from Mexico!

I have been wanted Velvet Teddy for ages now, but whenever I went to buy it, it was sold out - annoying! - 

This colour is literally amazing! So many people have been going on and on about this colour, I now understand why! At the moment I have been wearing it on its own, but I've been told pairing it with MAC's Whirl Lipliner is a must to make it look that much better!

So, that is my lipstick collection - for now - once I have bought more I will do an updated post.

As you can see from all the photos, I have a thing for nudes. I need to start being more adventurous and trying out brighter/darker colours! 

What colours would you all recommend, and what are your favourites?

Leave comments below as I would love to give them all a try!

Speak soon,

Love Beckii
