Favourites

My new favourite nail polish EVER is Got the Blues for Red by OPI. It's a nice deep burgundy that goes on very smoothly and lasts a very long time.

As the weather has gotten much much colder in the last few day here in Ireland I have decided to invest in a few moisturising products for my hands and lips!

I have used many different hand creams over the years but my new favourite is the Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula! And let me tell you, it smells absolutely delicious and it has vitamin E in it and apparently it can be used for stretch marks. Might try it and see how I get on!

And my third favourite moisturising product is the Blistex intensive moisturiser for lips. It's not tinted or glossy but makes my chapped lips feel really smooth and fab! I will definitely repurchase.

OOTD - J Brand Capri & Louboutin

2014-11-25T16:47:00.002+00:00

Here is my outfit from last night. Lately my go to pieces are jeans, flowy tops and heels. I feel like I'm stuck in a rut so my new challenge is to try and mix it up and put more effort into my outfits.
I love these skinny cropped J Brand capri jeans, the only thing is that I find that they stretch a lot around my knees which isn't ideal but nothing that washing them cant fix :)

Can anyone recommend a nice park of dark wash cropped jeans? I'm not the tallest at 5'3 hence why I try and get them cropped :P

JEANS: J Brand | SHOES: Louboutin Paulina old, (slingback) | TOP: Primark (similar) |

Leighton Denny

2012-06-20T21:15:00.001+01:00

My favourite polish of the week is the amazingly hot pink nail varnish by Leighton Denny!

It's one of those really summery shades that lifts your mood whenever you look at your nails! Then again I find painting my nails very VERY therapeutical!

Let me introduce you to plush pink! Such a pretty colour! But it does look more purple with the flash on..just a FYI :) x

My little Mulberry purchase!

2012-06-20T12:47:00.001+01:00

Okay so I manage to get my little paws on a beautiful mulberry heritage bay! And I'm in love with it! It's soooo soft and just the right size! What are your favourite bags/brands?

I'm also thinking about getting either the Boston web bag by Gucci or the speedy 30 by LV. But I really can't decide which one to get :( any advice really appreciated :)

5 min makeup

2012-06-20T07:44:00.001+01:00

I was running out the door this morning and only had 5 min to get ready. As I'm becoming older (I'm already in my mid twenties :) I've started using less product and listening to my skins needs much better than I did a few years ago.
Today I've used the products that I'm currently LOVING :)
Products used
The foundation used is the healthy glow by bourjois I think I'm a 51 but it's still a bit too dark!
Mineral powder in medium, MAC
Summer warmth bronzed by BR, got this in this months glossybox. And I love the glow it gives.
Bobbi brown cream blush in pale pink, I love this stuff on lips and cheeks . It gives such a nice English rose glow. It's adorable!
Pinky/white eyeliner from M&S
And my all time favourite mascara, hypnose by Lancôme

Nails of the week

2012-06-15T19:09:00.001+01:00

Below is one of the nail colours I've been loving this week! Of course there was a few pinky budey colours as well but this post is dedicated to AWOL from topshop as its such a beautiful sky blue colour that is a dream to apply!
This blue nail varnish is from topshop and retails for about 5 pounds :) to me it seems to be of good quality! This shade has made me want to try out their other pastel shades!! Maybe I'll try a pink one.

The colour is AWOL! Its stunning and looks great on toes!

Have any of you tried the topshopnail varnishes and if so what did you think? xx

Versace for H & M

2011-09-13T16:41:00.005+01:00

I absolutely love the leather jacket and the skirt

Oh wow! I just found out about the collaboration between Versace and H&M and I absolutely love it!! The pieces that I have seen so far are so lovely and the detailing is pretty AMAZING!!

I’m absolutely in love with the leather dress and the studded jacket! Well actually I just love all the items but won’t be able to afford them all.
Now the question is if it’s worth queuing all morning before work to get my little paws on a few of these items!

According to their statement
"The womenswear collection will be dominated by dresses featuring studded leather, silk and colorful print, with accessories including high heels and costume jewelery. The men's collection will focus on sharp tailoring, including 'the perfect tuxedo', as well as belts and jewelery, while for the first time in a designer collaboration at H&M, the collection will include some homeware pieces, including cushions and a bedspread."

Im going to try and get this amazing leather dress, its just so sexy!

Chanel Peridot

2011-09-12T17:42:00.009+01:00

I have been working extra late for the past week so decided to treat myself with a few goodies! My mother was running out of her favourite chanel sycamore coco rouge lipstick (and by the way she has tried so many lipstick and this is the best she has ever used, highly recommended) So while I was getting that for her as a little treat I also decided to look at their new autumn winter 2011 collection. I spotted it about a week and a half ago but I didn get the time to test the products and was looking forward to getting them all week long. So when I finally wasn’t working a 12 hr day I went into Brown Thomas and decided to treat myself.

I’m a big MASSIVE fan of nail varnish, but I always tend to go for the same colours in different tones and finishes. It’s always reddish and nudey colours, of course there are a few exceptions I do love the pinks and wear some brighter shades during the summer but I am not immediately attracted to them.

I absolutely love how it looks with other metallics!

But when I saw the goldy-green with a hint of teal in the little beautiful bottle I immediately fell in love! I wanted to get it there and then but when I went up to the makeup artist she told me that it was sold out! I was devastated it was one of those days when you want to get something, anything and there was nothing I wanted apart from this and it was sold out!

So i ended up going the next day, when they were meant to have their delivery and managed to get the second last. Its quite costly, in Ireland it retails for €21 but it has not chipped at all for over four days and the colour makes me smile every time I look at my nails.

What are your favorite items at the moment? x

FOTD

2010-09-03T12:59:00.005+01:00

I love looking at other bloggers FOTD so I decided to post my very first one too!
I went to a friends wedding over the weekend I wore a very simple topshop cream dress, black shoes and clutch, red lipstick and loads of winged liner.
This was my first proper wedding ( that i was invited to myself and not as a date :) And there will be loads to come in the next two years, so I was wondering if there are any rules as to what to wear. I would love to hear your advice!!
:)

Happy Friday to all!!

What to wear?!

2010-08-26T11:53:00.002+01:00

Hi guys!! I need advice, I m going to a wedding and I don’t really know what to wear, as I will be in work I wont make it to the church but will go to the meal. I have two outfits that I could wear but I’m not sure which one to go for. I didn’t want to but a cocktail/weddingly dress as I tend to only wear them once and I wanted to get more wear out of what I bought. Please help me decide between the two!!

I dream of perfect skin..

2010-08-16T11:26:00.005+01:00

I love skin care products, I have so so many but I don’t seem to use most of them and I think it’s because I get disappointed when I don’t see results straight away. My biggest skin problem is blackheads, no matter how many times I get spa treatments that are meant to get rid of them nothing seems to help clear the dirt and minimize the pores.

Do any of you know of any good products that are meant to help? As I really wanna try the dewy look I think you need to have healthy skin so I’m trying to start a new skin care routine and willing to try almost anything :) All your comments are greatly appreciated!!

Thanks
xx

Favourite Lipsticks

2010-08-15T20:42:00.005+01:00

Hi guys, hope you all had a wonderfull weekend! I surely did :) the weather was amazing!!

After doing the last post I got thinking about the lipsticks that I reach for the most and I decided to share with you my favourites. Most of them are MAC I really need to start experimenting with other brands.

L-R Snob, Colour Crafted, Hue, Way to love, and Chanel Galapagos

What are your 5 favourite lipsticks?

Lipstick Time :)

2010-08-10T23:23:00.008+01:00

After a hard days work I decided to go to my local MAC store and pick up a little treat for myself. I love pinky/nude lipsticks so I decided to get SNOB and its right up my alley!
I don’t know why I haven’t looked at it before as it’s a lovely colour as many of you are probably aware! :)

What is your new favourite lip product, or the one that you just didnt pay any attention and now love?

FIne line between shiny and glowing?

2010-08-06T14:23:00.000+01:00

My t zone well its actually just my nose is quite oily and I still haven’t found the perfect powder that would stop the shine for more than a couple of hours :( lately I’ve been using MACs blotting powder but it doesn’t seem to work as well as they say it should!

I would love dewy and glowing skin and to be able to highlight my nose but I’m afraid that I will look too shiny.

What do you think of the pic below?? Shiny or Glowing?!
Are there any powders out there that you think actually work and absorb oil without being too heavy?

Baby Pinks

2010-08-03T22:37:00.000+01:00

I dug out all of my nail varnishes and realized that i tend to go for different shades of the same color! But they are all so different, I love baby pinks during the summer and dark burgundy, gray and navy when it gets a bit colder.

Here is a pic of some of the nail varnishes I own. Are there any colors that you would recommend as I love trying out new brands and tones :)

L-R Inglot in 335, OPI Mod About You, OPI Italian Love Affair and last but not least China Glaze in Pure Elegance.

And on the nails they are in reverse order, starting with China

I really want to get some darker colors over the weekend, but have no idea what brand/color to go for. any suggestions?

ASOS

2010-07-27T22:43:00.000+01:00

Who doesn't like a good sale, I surely love them! SO I decided to go online and purchase a few things from www.asos.com My goodies should be arriving at the end of the week and I cant wait!
I have never ordered clothes online before so Im very excited to see if they fit :)

Shoes Shoes and more Shoes!!

2010-06-17T13:19:00.000+01:00

I’m in love!!

So the sales have started in Dublin today and I decided to take a half say from work and go shopping in the morning before it got too busy. I picked up three pairs of shoes in Brown Thomas. I’m a fan of Kurt Geigers shoes but as I’m only in my first post college job :-) and I can’t afford to pay €400 for a pair so today when I tried these on and saw the price I fell in love they are oh so so high but so comfortable. They were down to €120 from €400 WOW that’s what I call a bargain.

I think I will be wearing them with a very simple black jersey dress like the ones they have in AA and big chandelier earrings!

I also picked up the pair below, think they are very versatile and I could wear them all day everyday :-) they are Alex by Carvela!
