Wet n Wild Liquid Lip Color - Review

I recently purchased the Wet n Wild Liquid Lip Color in the shade Pocketful of Roses. I just realised, I left it French side up woops! I was really looking forward to using it as the colour is so unusual, a deep pink verging on purple.  It has a flat applicator, not as long and thin as the Essence XXL Shine gloss but still good for precision application. The consistency is thick, much like most liquid lipsticks. However, it's incredibly sticky and just doesn't dry. I took this picture just after applying...

Makeup and Lush Haul

As you know, I was in Dublin on Saturday so I decided to get some shopping in. I didn't go too insane but I really wanted to show you guys what I got because haul posts are my favourite kind of posts. Living in Wexford - the town that cosmetic companies forgot - we still don't have a Wet n' Wild stand and probably won't be getting one in the near future so myself and LilliWhiteRose headed straight to Dunnes to pick up a few pieces. Surprisingly I only picked up two items, I think I was overwhelmed with choice. I got the...

#LLAMmeetup 26th April 2014

Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending #LLAMmeetup organised by the gorgeous Hannah from Love Life and Makeup. I had such a brilliant time and with 50 of us, I got to meet so many bloggers! I don't think I stopped laughing all day. The event was held in the Russell Court Hotel in Dublin. It was a beautiful venue and I felt very welcome by the staff. I would have loved to have seen more of the hotel but what I did see was definitely my cup of tea. We watched a demonstration by Nima Brushes followed by Benefit, both of which...

Top 3 Anti-Fatigue Tips

Apologies for being MIA for the past week everyone, to say that I'm absolutely smothering with a cough and cold is an understatement.  However, being sick has made me realise how much I take healthy looking skin for granted.  There's three main products I've been using to brighten up my face for the past couple of days so I thought I'd share them with you. The first thing I like to do is conceal under my eyes. I use the Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer in the shade 40 Soft Beige. It claims to have an anti-fatigue effect...

Easy DIY Easter Tree

My grandma loves to set up an Easter tree every year and I just think it's such a cute and easy thing to do to bring a bit of Spring into your home. To create something like this you just need to pop a few small branches into a vase or some sort of container. This is decorated with little coloured eggs on ribbon but you can use your own choice of ribbon or string to tie bows around the branches. As long as you keep the colours a little pastel and girly, it'll look great.  All of these things can be found in Pound shops...

Nail Colours to Complement Your Tan

I've seen a lot of posts recently about nail colours to make your tan stand out. I have extremely olive toned skin so I tend to have a year round tan, except on my hands. I don't know why but my hand-tan fades so quickly which results in very pale, very green toned skin.  I've decided to put together a post of the nail polishes that I love to use to really complement my skin tone as well as really make my tan pop.   Extremely bright shades will always make you look more tanned but if you're not a florescent nail kinda gal,...

Budget Buy #2: Catrice Sweet Coraline Lipstick

I've really wanted to try a more orange toned, coral lipstick for ages but I was worried it wouldn't suit the green/yellow undertones of my skin. With this in mind I set myself the task of finding an easy to wear coral shade with a slight orange-ness about it. I didn't want to spend more than €5 in case it really didn't suit so I popped to my nearest Catrice stand as I knew their lipsticks are pretty good quality and very well priced. The shade that caught my eye straight away was 290 Sweet Coraline. I swatched it on my hand...

Precious Polish - Pompous Purple Review

A couple of weeks ago, I contacted by Anita from Precious Polish and asked if I'd like to give one of her polishes a try. I'm a total nail addict so of course I said yes.  I didn't know what I was being sent other than the fact it was a glitter polish.  When it arrived I was delighted to see it was a purple glitter called Pompous Purple which is part of the Glitterazzi range. The polish is loaded with medium sized purple hexagons and tiny little golden specks that add a lovely shimmer in natural lighting. All...
