The Titanic Experiance

Hello Lovelies!

Recently my family & me took a little trip to Belfast to visit the new Titanic centre that had newly opened to commerate the 100 year anniversary of the Titanic.
I have always been really interested in the story of the Titanic so this was right up my street. The building itself was in the shape of the front of the ship (although if you ask me it resembled an iceberge too!)
Its a self guided tour around the centre taking you through alot of the steps of the Titanics life- the building, the journey, the sinking and the after-math.
It was an amazing experiance and I learnt so much, it was also extremely sad to read about these people who had just boarded this ship never expecting it to be their last journey ever...

Newspaper Nails Tutorial

Hello Lovelies!

I recently tried out a new type of make up art...I'm absolutely obsessed and have been known to paint my nails every second day..(I get bored really easily)

So I did the "Newspaper Nails" look, and it turned out really cool and it was so easy to do!

What you will need:

1. A nude or pastel nail-polish
2. A clear topcoat
3. Finger nail sized strips of paper
4. Vodka

What to do:

1. Paint your nails with your chosen shade (Lighter colours work best for this!) and wait until it is completely dry!
2. Then take your little glass of vodka and dip one of your nails in it making sure to get your nail fully wet.
3. Take one of your strips and place it firmly on the nail for 30 seconds making sure that it doesn't move
4. Gently peel off the strip and you should see the print of the paper left on your nail
5. Finish up with a layer of top coat and your good to go!

Soooo simple! If you try this out let me know how you get on!

MaxFactor Fantasy Fire & Essie Lapis of Luxury

Rose Gold Obsessed

Hello Lovelies!

Recently I have become a little obsessed with all things Rose Gold...I think it is such a gorgeous..metal? I don't really know what to call it but I love Rose Gold jewellery and it even looks amazing on the detailing of handbags or belts!..Its such a classic style too, my Granny's wedding ring is rose gold and its still in style many years on!

I have been after a Michael Kors Rose gold watch for yonks! But when I was in Belfast recently I spied this little beauty in River Island! Nearly a dupe for it but at a fraction of the price for £25! I was delira with it! 

The earrings are from TopShop and they were £4 and my ring I got in Oasis at home for €4 in the sale!

My Most Worn...

I've seen this tag floating around for awhile both on YouTube and on different blogs..I think its a really interesting tag just to see what peoples favourite items are.

MY MOST WORN

LIPSTICK

MAC's Shy Girl..such a pretty peachy nude...I wear it almost every day. IN.LOVE.WITH.IT!

EARRINGS

These are a fairly recent purchase from Topshop,..but I have worn them more than I have any other pair of earrings that I own..(I forgot to photograph these so sorry about that picture!)

TOP

I just adore this t-shirt..The colour is the most gorgeous shade of red (the picture really doesn't do it justice) I bought it in New York about two years ago and it has been a staple in my wardrobe ever since!

NAIL POLISH

I love love LOVE mint on my nails..it looks amazing with a tan,.this one by Rimmel (500 Peppermint) has a lovely formula and lasts for ages.

SHOES

I kind of cheated for this one because we have such weird weather in Ireland...so I have some "Nice Weather" shoes and some "Irish Weather" Shoes.

These are my better weather shoes..they just go with everything, I actually got them in Pennies(Primark) for about €5 in the sale.. BARGAIN!

And these are my everyday Irish weather shoes..even though they're boots. As you will probally notice from the pictures..I have literally worn these to death..they are so comfy and if they ever eventually die completely on me...I'll be heartbroken!

HAIR PRODUCT

I always try and use some form of heat protectant on my hair..purely to get rid of the guilt of using a straighteners, curlers, hair dryer on my hair...Plus this Aussie one smells devine!

PERFUME

Calvin Kleins Eurphoria..My go to perfume..such a gorgeous scent. I always feel glamorous and grown up with it on!

HANDBAG

I literally can not say how much I love this handbag...I bought it on eBay for less than a tenner and if I'm going by cost per wear I'd be in minus figures now! Its perfect for the day and going out also.

Hope you enjoyed this tag...If you've done it or decide to do it please leave a link below because I love reading them! :)

What's in my Travel Make-Up Bag

Hello Lovelies!

So I think I mentioned in a previous post that I'm going to Belfast this weekend with my family to see the Titanic exhibition. We're only going for one night but I still haven't a clue what to bring and the only thing I have prepared is my make up bag...so I just thought I would show you what is in it!.

So my make-up bag is actually really old..my boyfriend got it for me for Christmas about 4 years ago. Its a really cool Revlon one with make up print all over it. The reason I love it is because it actually fits so much in it and still with room to spare!

So what I'm actually bringing with me is:-

My Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish, Garnier Essentials Hydrating Day Care, Rimmel Fix & Protect primer, MAC Studio Sculpt in NW20, Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer in number 2 Light, Natural Collection Pressed Powder in Neutral, YSL Touche Eclat, Sleek Blush in Rose Gold, Rimmel Kohl pencil in Jet Black, Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil in Hazel, Loreal SuperLiner Carbon Gloss, Catrice Eye-shadow Base, My Naked pallet, NARS duo in Isolde, Benefit "They're Real" mascara, Maybelline Falsies mascara, MAC "Shy Girl" and Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in shade 20, and finally my St Tropez wash off tan & the skin illuminator.

Now..I didn't think it was alot of stuff...and even in the picture it doesn't look like a massive amount of things..but when I was writing all that out...it took me longer than expected!

Talk to you soon everyone!

May Favourites

Hello Lovelies!

My first favourites post...oh the excitement of it all!..and the promptness of it! 1st day of June and look at me all prepared!

Anyways...I shall get on with it!

So these are my favourites!

1. Garnier Summer Body. 

This is a gradual self tan...and I've never really gotten along with these sorts of products (picture lots of streaks and one frustrated person!) but this one is amazing! It smells delish and has not streaked on me once..*touch wood*

2. Soap & Glory Flake Away

This stuff is a miracle worker! It leaves my skin super soft and ready for tan!..plus it smells like Miss Dior Cherie which I adore!!

3. Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic

I got this as a sample when I ordered my Cleanse and Polish..and what a little beauty this turned out to be! It just leaves my skin feeling & looking amazing when used in conjunction with the Cleanse & Polish and I'm thinking another order from Liz Earle will be made shortly!

4. Argan Oil

My friend gave this to me not too long ago after raving about how much her hair has improved from using it...and oh my. It has worked wonders on my poor frazled mess I call my hair. I even put it on my hair extentions and it worked a treat.

5. Sleek Blush in Pixie Pink

This blush looks absolutely TERRIFYING in the pan...but fear not! When applied it gives the most gorgeous colour and I have worn this practically every day this month!
