January Favourites




       Hey everyone today i'm going to share my january favourites with ye.I know im probably a little
       bit late writing these but i figured they were better late than never right ??haha


                                           Pantene Pro-V Fizz Fighter Conditioner

        This leave in conditioner has probably saved my life a little bit to be honest.I've said before how
         i hate putting heat on my hair unnecessarily and i prefer to let it air dry after showering but with  
        natural wavy/curly hair it can kind of get slightly out of hand.But this product has changed all of      
        that.Once i get out of the shower i give my hair a little towel dry,brush it out and rub in about two
        pea sixed pumps of this conditioner into my hair and it just controls the crazyness.
                                                         

                                            Maybelline the rocket volume mascara

        This mascara is absolutely amazing.I rarely find a new mascara and fall in love i usually stick to
        what i like and repeatedly use it over and over but once i tried this mascara i knew it was going
        to be my new favourite.It turns your lashes a very dark black color and gives both volume and
        length.It almost makes them look false in a way.I hope to do a review on this soon so keep an
        eye out!

                                           Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer

       What can i say about this concealer.It is fantastic for covering under eye circles and i mean fantastic.
       I am probably the worst sleeper ever i hardly ever get a full nights sleep and i am lucky to even get
      a full four to five hours.So you can imagine how bad my circles are but this concealer practically makes                                                                                  
       them vanish.It isnt that great at covering spots but i still looove it and would be lost and tired looking     
       with out it.

                                                        Kylie Minogue Perfume

       There isn't much to say about this perfume other than i wear it practically every day.Im really picky   
        about perfumes and its probably the last thing i would ever buy when out shopping.I have kind of a    
        sensitive nose so whenever i spray certain perfumes i go off on a sneezing spree therefore i dont like   
        many perfumes etc etc So basically what i am trying to say is that this perfume is a really nice scent
       but not too over powering 



                                          Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder

     This is by far the best powder i have ever tried.I've recently seen a lot of beauty bloggers rave about this 
     and i agree with all of them.Ive been using this powder for years now as it really does do the job perfectly     
     especially considering its price tag.It helps control the oil and keep your make up on your face for ages.I   
      rarely leave the house with out it as it is handy to re apply throughout the day to ensure your make up is 
      always looking good.The only downfall it probably its packaging which is kind of plasticy and cheap looking.



                                                     Bourjois Blush in 'Copper Brown' 03

        This is probably my most worn blush ever!!Im not a big fan of red or pink blushes as they dont tend
        to suit my complection or skin tone so i prefer to stick to soft brownish colors.I love this blush as its
        the perfect shade for my skin tone so it helps define my cheekbones slightly better but it also has tiny          
        specks of glitter in it which help highlight the tops of your cheekbones too so it saves you the hassle
        of applying even more make up to your face !! I highly recommend it to any one else who doesnt like
         to wear overly obvious blushes

                        Have you tried any of these products ?? What do you think of them ??

Empties #1






Hey everyone i know its been an age since i last posted but iv'e been sick with tonsillitis or whatever you call it.Which is a reaaal bummer as iv'e just been sitting in bed all day for the last three days.I couldn't find the energy to take any pictures so i couldn't even write a blog post.The only upside is that i got to miss a few days of school wahheey.Anyway back to the point of this post.Today i am going to share some of the products that i've been loving lately and ended up using it all.



                                       John frieda sheer blond shampoo and conditioner 
I absolutely love this shampoo and conditioner duo.As i have an ombreish,balliage type this going on in my hair it means that i have about five different colors of blonde dyed into it.So in order to keep not only the color of my hair as best as it can be i also need it to be in as best condition.And this duo really helps with that   .Personally i don't feel it has that strong of a smell but it does give a good fresh smell to the hair if you know what i mean.Plus the conditioner makes my hair feel so soft after use.I really would recommend these to everyone.


                                             Toni&Guy texturising sea salt spray 
I love love love this spray i had already re-purchased this spray weeks ago just in-case i ran out of it too soon.I don't like curly or straightening my hair everyday or even blow drying it after every shower.So once i get out of the shower i towel dry my hair,brush it out and then evenly spray this on my hair.I naturally have kind of loose wavy hair and this really helps enhance the curls and make them loo all beachy and casual.



                                               Beauty formulas tea tree facial mask
In my opinion this is one of the best ever facial masks i have ever used.I have very oily skin with a lot of redness around my nos and mouth.But after i apply this mask my face looks practically all the one color and very matte.It helps reduce the redness of spots and absorbs all oil on your face which i love.Its quite a liquidy formula so you have to be careful it doesn't pour out everywhere but it smells quite nice which is relaxing as you wear it.


                                       Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder
This is by far the best powder i have ever tried.I've recently seen a lot of beauty bloggers rave about this and i agree with all of them.Ive been using this powder for years now as it really does do the job perfectly especially considering its price tag.It helps control the oil and keep your make up on your face for ages.I  rarely leave the house with out it as it is handy to re apply throughout the day to ensure your make up is always looking good.The only downfall it probably its packaging which is kind of plasticy and cheap looking.



                                          maybelline's great lash in blackest black
I have been using this mascara for quite a while now.And i absolutely love it.I've re-purchased it at least three times now.It makes your eye lashes super black and gives a real good volume.Its probably not the best for length but still gives a certain amount.Overall i love everything about this mascara even its packaging!!! And i highly recommend it to everyone.


Have you tried any of these products ?? What do you think ??

Kate Moss Lippie







           


             Hey everyone :D it seems like its been so long since i have actually posted anything on my
             blog lately but with school and everything i just haven't had time to sit down and write it.
             Recently i went shopping and bought some goodies in boots. One thing i got was this new
             Rimmel London Kate Moss lipstick in shade number 16.Its a super pretty pink color with
             a slight coraly undertone.


             The packaging does not blow me away or has anything special about it but at the same time its                                    
             pretty enough is really simple with a slim black tube with Rimmel London written around it (Which
             is super hard to photogaph.Then the shade of the lipstick is on a pink sticker on the underneath.
             The lipstick is the traditional kind which just twists up and down.

          
            The lipstick is pretty matte with a tiny bit of shine which is exactly my favourite kind.It glides
            on really smoothly and and does not seem too sticky.It has quite a strong pigment pay off
            which actually surprised me.It has quite a good staying power and when it does begin to fade
            its a pretty light pink.


            Overall i really love this lipstick even though i have only had it a few mere days.I wear it all the
            time and think its well worth the 6.99.
            Have you tried any of the Kate Moss lipsticks ?? What do you think of them ??
            Bye Bye Love

NOTD



 Hey guys today's post is just a simple NOTD.

Excuse my terrible finger nails.No matter what i
do i can never grow them :( Bummer...

Anyway on my ring finger i am wearing gosh's nail lacquer number 554.
Its a really nice shimmery gold color and i love matching it with a bunch
of different colors :D
Then on the rest of my fingers i have on catrice's nail lacquer in 820 Pimp
My Shrimp.Which is a soft coral color that i wear all the time

Maroon color trend




Hey everybody today i'll be talking about something im sure you have all noticed by now.

Which is one of the biggest color trends right at the moment.Yes the deep rich red color (pretty sure
 it's called maroon).Everywhere you shop lately has all their clothes in this color from jeans
 to hoodies and dresses.



Now im not exactly sure what name is actually given to the color ive seen it being 
called dark red  or oxblood and mahogany but most recently ive seen it referred to 
as maroon.What do you think of this trend ...do you love it ?? Or hate it ??

Personally i really love this color as you will see from all the clothes i have in the color.I think is a perfect color for fall as its dark without being a black or grey and yet slightly bright
 and colorful with out being in your face!!.If you seen my closet you would know i am not a big fan of color or bold prints.I love neutral and plain colors as i feel they compliment my shape better.So believe it or not this color is actually quite daring for me.


This color will also look great paired with another trend that i've seen popping up lately which is a dark army green.I know topshop and river island are sporting these colors.



 These are some of my clothes that ive collected so far ......(excuse the awful wrinkles)







I don't know about you guys but i really love this trend and color.It matches the majority of all my clothes and now half my closet is this exact color.I cant wait for winter so i can start matching my outfits and pairing them with each other

How much of a fan are you of this trend ??comment below telling me if you have as much clothes in this color.

Bye for now

Storm palette





 Hey guys for today's post i will be doing a review on the i divine sleek palette in storm.   




I had been looking for a really good yet affordable make up palette with neutral eye shadows
similar to the naked palettes.So while searching online i came across this palette on the sleek
 make up website.At first i was hesitant to buy it as i don't really trust buying online.But for
a bargain of 10 euro (£8) and shipping of 2 i couldn't really say no.

The shipping did not take too long roughly eight or nine days including weekends.Which
considering i live in the midlands of ireland is actually pretty good.

The palette itself is quite small and compact.Its thin and black and quite smooth 
with sleek written across it in shiny writing.



Onto the shadows: There are twelve shadows altogether in the palette.With nine shimmery 
eyeshadows and three matte colors.They are all quite pigmented and the color pay off is
 excellent.The lasting power is really good and have lasted for up to hours on me.The colors are 
actually really good and you can make loads of different day or night looks using them.Its very
 handy to do your make up at the start of the day throw this in your bag and then turn it into a
 night look.Plus there is a large mirror attached to the palette which is great to use on the go.




 I really love this palette as it covers nearly every kind of eye look you could 
want or need.It has really become my go to palette. Have you ever tried any 
of the sleek palettes ??Comment below if you have.

Also keep an eye out for some make up looks i plan to do soon using this palette

                                                                  Bye for now
