Friday Favourites #1

Friday Favourites is another weekly feature I'm introducing to the blog as of today. It's basically a round up of things I've really been loving that week. I'm going to include categories like beauty, food, clothes, music and whatever else I've been enjoying. Here's a few things I've been obsessing over this week: Inecto Pure Coconut Leave In Conditioner  I cut my hair last week and I've been using this stuff to make my hair look and feel amazing. I'll have a full post on this next week! Slipper Socks (is that even what...

Lush: Blackberry - Best Bath Bomb Ever

A few months ago, on one of my many visits to Lush in Dublin, my friend picked up a large, plain looking, lilac bath bomb. She said "smell this." I did, we looked at each other, had a little moment and then popped them straight in our baskets. You know those scents that take you back and all you can describe them as, is "a smell from my childhood"? This is one of them. It definitely has a smell of blackberry but not enough for someone to sniff it with their eyes closed and say "Oh that smells like blackberries!" What I'm trying...

NOTD - Barry M Bikini

If you checked out my Posting Schedule, you'll know from today on, every Wednesday will be a NOTD or Nail of the Day post. For my first NOTD post, I decided on a plain manicure using a Barry M polish in the shade Bikini.  This is a limited edition colour that I picked up in my Belfast Haul. If you can find it in your local Boots then definitely get it! This polish reminds me so much of Barry M Blueberry because sometimes it looks blue, other times it looks lilac yet somehow it has an overall blue tone.  This is...

NYX Haul

As I'm sure you're all aware, NYX recently launched in Ireland. Living in Wexford, I figured I'd never get to visit a stand in my own town. However, Sam McCauley's came to the rescue and my faith that we may one day get Wet 'n Wild and Physicians Formula, has been restored. To my surprise, all makeup was Buy One, Get One Half Price. I thought I came out with 6 items but it turns out I only got 5. I must have put the Pinched blusher down and forgotten to pick it back up. :( I picked two LipButters in the shades Vanilla Cream Pie...

Budget Buy #4: NYC Big Bold Curl Mascara

As with the majority of my purchases-come-posts, there's a long winded story behind why I decided to actually buy this product. Let's get into it! Yesterday I was headed to Bray for a day out with my grandma and brother. We rang a taxi to bring us to the train station only to be told it would be 5 minutes later than we asked. What do you know, the taxi arrives nearly 10 minutes early and I have all my makeup done except mascara. I reach down to pick up my only once used, brand new tube of Maybelline The Falsies and I can't find it. The...

Blogger of the Week

Before I announce this week's Blogger of the Week, I just wanted to let you all know that I've moved the feature to Monday's as opposed to Friday's. It just makes things a lot easier on me and probably makes a bit more sense. Without further ado (what an unsatisfying word to type), this week's Blogger of the Week is: Chloe from Nurse Fancy Pants As you can probably guess by her blog name, Chloe is a nurse, she's also slightly beauty obsessed. NFP is a blog full of beauty and lifestyle posts with a lot of great book reviews...

Tresemmé 7 Day Keratin Smooth System Review

By now, I'm sure you're all aware of how much I hate writing negative reviews but you'll also know that I'm not afraid to tell you if a product is absolute poop. This is one of those negative reviews and a slight rant so don't say I didn't warn you... Tresemmé is a brand that prides itself on giving you salon quality products and results from home. I've used a few of their shampoos and conditioners in the past and thought they were pretty good. I'm also a big fan of their hairsprays.  I'm always on the hunt for smoothing,...

Bourjois Magic Nail Polish Remover for Hands & Feet

If you've never heard of Bourjois' Magic Nail Polish Remover, it's basically a pot of nail polish remover that contains a large sponge. You pop your finger in and rub your nail against the sponge for a couple of seconds, pop your finger out and your polish is off. Bourjois recently launched a new version of their Magic Nail Polish Remover that can be used to remove polish from your toenails. To make this possible, they basically stuck a coarse sponge to the removable lid that you can rub your toenail polish off with. I don't...

Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray

Over the past few months, I've found myself having to wear makeup from 9am to 9pm for various occasions. You all know how much I love setting powders but after reapplying for the fifth time that day, things can get a little cakey and furry looking. I decided it was time to take action and purchased the Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray.  I picked up the travel size bottle and I will definitely be buying the full size very soon.  This is basically a fine spray that you can mist on your face before, during...

Review: The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter

The Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter from The Body Shop is the first solid balm cleanser I've ever tried. All I can say is I am now a convert and can see myself repurchasing this over and over again.  First up, I have to mention how good this smells. When I think of camomile, I think of the gag enducing smell and taste of camomile tea. This smells fresh, sweet and floral. I'm awful at describing smells but if this was a perfume, it would be the perfect kind of scent for me.  The word "butter" in the name is...
