What am I Doing This Week?

-
This week I am:
  • Binge watching Quantico Season 1 on Sky - this season is available to download at my leisure and I am really enjoying it.  It's about an American woman of Indian descent named Alex who has joined the FBI Academy at Quantico and it's the story of her training to become an FBI Agent with flash forwards to her being set up, so that it looks like she is guilty of terrorism.  As well as a fascinating insight into how intense the training is to become an FBI Agent, it also deals with Alex trying to prove her innocence against the very people that trained her.
  • Binge reading (is that a thing) Kathy Reichs Temperance Brennan books.  These books are about an American Forensic Anthropologist who divides her time between South Carolina, USA and French speaking Montreal, Quebec in Canada.  It's an interesting series of books that follows Tempe as she gets involved with various murder cases alongside the Canadian Police and how her Forensic Anthropology helps to solve horrific murder cases.  I am already on book 7 - Monday Mourning and I cannot put these books down.  I do not usually read a ton of books due to lack of time, but I am flying through these books and they are unputdownable (not a word I know).
  • Going to watch John Wick 2 and Fifty Shades Darker at the cinema.  Keanu Reeves looks hot and the original John Wick film was really good, so hopefully this film will live up to my expectations.  I have heard a few bad reviews about the next Fifty Shades film, but lets face it the books are not masterpieces so I have quite low expectations of this film, so hopefully It will be better that I am expecting.
  • Going to Pizza Express with friends.  I love this low key pizza restaurant and can't get enough of the Romana Pizzas with their super thin and crunchy bases.  I love the dough balls as well.  Even better, I will use my Tastecard to get 2 for 1 on starters, mains and desserts.
What are you doing this week?

Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

-

I picked up the Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer because it looked like it was a dupe for the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. The Primark version costs £4.50 for 45ml and the Bobbi Brown Face Base costs £48.50 for 50ml, so there is quite a price difference.   I had always wanted to try out the Bobbi Brown product, so when I received a mini version in a gift with purchase goody bag I was really excited to try it out, but I have to say I was somewhat underwhelmed.  I have quite dry skin and the face base did not have as much slip as I was expecting, so it didn't feel smooth when I applied my foundation. For the price I was expecting to love it way more than I did. It does have a lovely lemon smell which I really enjoy, where as the Primark version doesn't really have a fragrance.  Overall, I actually preferred the Primark version as it is thicker and it made for a better base for my foundation. It also seemed to be more hydrating. I have definitely reached mor
