Quarterly Favourites #1

I know most bloggers do monthly favourites but I find it a little difficult. I usually find something I love, ahem Maybeline The Falsies, and use it 24/7, repurchase it and forget that anything else in that category even exists. I decided I'd divide the year in four quarters (how business like) and every three months, discuss my favourite products. This post will cover from the start of January to the end of March. You can expect the second edition of this series in late June. I'm not going to go into detail on every single item...

The TMI Tag

I was tagged by the lovely LilliWhiteRose to do the TMI tag and I'm rather excited to answer all these questions! Before you read this post, you should head over Danielle's blog and follow her because she's wonderful. Okay, here it goes: 1: What are you wearing?  My furry winter PJs, fleece lined slipper socks and an oversized black and white stripey jumper because it is freezing today! 2: Ever been in love?  Only if you count my dog... 3: Ever had a terrible breakup?  No thankfully 4: How tall...

Lush: Tulip Bubble Bar

Lush really outdid themselves with their Mother's Day range this year. click on the image to be taken to Lush's website For my own mom, I purchased the Tulip Bubble Bar. This bubble bar comes on a stick just like the Christmas Magic Wand bubble bar. You swish this round your bath water to create a lovely bubble bath. This smells just like the Sex Bomb bath ballistic, with jasmine and ylang ylang, it's the perfect scent to help you relax and unwind. I'm a sucker for little added extras and I was pleasantly surprised when I was...

What's On My Face: Spring Editition

Despite today's weather, it's officially Spring which means saying goodbye to berry lips and matte complexions. Over the past couple of weeks, I've been changing up my makeup routine to fit in with the slightly nicer weather. Right now I'm using the Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation in the shade 103 True Ivory. I mentioned this in my 2013 Favourites and I'm still loving it. It's a light to medium coverage with an SPF18. It buffs into the skin easily and leaves your skin looking fresh and slightly dewy. To cover up my dark...

Budget Buy: Essence XXL Shine Lipgloss

I don't buy a lot of Essence products. I think I tend to associate the brand with 14 year olds and bad quality nail varnish. That being said, on the rare occasion that I do purchase an item from the Essence stand, I usually fall in love with it. I picked this lipgloss up on a whim a couple of weeks ago and I haven't stopped using it since. This lipgloss comes in multiple shades, ranging from bright pinks to nudes. I got the shade 24 Just Gorgeous because I was looking for a nice Spring-y pink shade. First off, I have to say this...

Weekend in Dublin Haul

Another weekend away, another large haul and far too much money spent on things I really didn't need but really wanted.  First of all I went to Penneys.  I picked up this very cute black and white tartan t-shirt dress. It has no shape which means it hangs beautifully and is extremely comfortable. I decided to get a size bigger than normal as I'm rather tall and that way it hangs longer on me. I love the way I can wear a long sleeved top underneath it while the weather is still a bit chilly.  Sorry about the...

March Wishlist

I've been eyeing up a few different products recently and even though I might not end up actually purchasing them, these are a few things I'd like this month. First up is Soap&Glory's Kick Ass Concealer. This trio contains two shades of concealer and a translucent setting powder. I've heard so many great things about this product and I think I'll definitely be getting it asap.  A slightly more pricey item on my list is the Emma Hardie Amazing Face Cleansing Balm.  The only thing holding me back for getting this...
