Quarterly Favourites #4

I can't believe I'm writing my last Quarterly Favourites of 2014. I've only got a few items to talk about because I'll have my 2014 Favourites post up soon and there's no point overlapping everything. Ziaja SenSitiVe Soothing Day Cream with SPF 20 I've been using this day cream for a few months now and I'm really enjoying it. It's a thick formula but completely non-greasy and very lightweight. It contains no perfumes, silicone or mineral oil and has been working so well on my sensitive and reactive skin. It has an SPF of 20 which...

Irish Beauty Bloggers Secret Santa Extravaganza 2014: The Big Reveal

First off, I just want to give a massive thank you to Aisling from TotalMakeUpAddict for organising this whole thing. I don't know how she did it but I know I wouldn't be able to if it was down to me! We were all given a budget of €20 (not including postage) to spend on our Secret Santa. When my Secret Santa present arrived from Leanne of Blather and Beauty, I was seriously blown away with what I received. As you can see, I was really spoiled. I love everything I got. The jewellery is so me and that bag though......

NOTD - Barry M Christmas Tree

Barry M have two gorgeous glitter polishes out at the moment. There's a golden one called Jingle Bells which I've been wearing since last week and a green one called Christmas Tree which is in today's post. I've been wearing Christmas Tree over Raspberry. I think these are a perfect combo, Raspberry is a very deep red shade and the green and silver flecks and strands of glitter give such a festive look. If you aren't too into glitter, or want a slightly more sophisticated nail look, you can pop this on your ring finger...

Stocking Fillers with So...? Fragrance

So...? Fragrance were very good to send me a couple of their Christmas gift sets recently. They were actually my first experience with perfume when I was younger so I felt very nostalgic when they arrived for me. The first gift set comes in five different scents. RRP €6.95 I received So...? Kiss Me which is a very girly scent but not sickly. You can also get the gift sets in the scents So...? Sinful/Eternal/Exclusive/Superstar. In the box, you get a 30ml bottle of perfume, a 50ml body lotion in the scent of the perfume...

The Christmas Tag

Danielle from LilliWhiteRose recently tagged me to do The Christmas Tag. Go take a look at her blog if you don't already follow her because she's seriously amazing. I love Christmas but I find it very hard to get into the festive spirit because I dwell on the bad things that happened during the year (and lots of other stuff that really shouldn't be thought of at such a happy time of year) but once I'm in it, I go Christmas crazy. Hopefully this tag will help me get into the Christmas zone! 1. What is your favourite Christmas movie(s)? The...

Festive Berry NOTD

Before we go all in with red nails and gold glitter, I wanted to try out a slightly different festive nail look using purple polish and silver glitter. I recently bought yet another Barry M polish in the shade Berry Cosmo. This is such a lovely purpley wine colour and the name makes me feel like getting in the party mood. It lasts around the usual four days with a little bit of wearing at the tips when worn by itself. To glam things up a bit, I applied one coat of Holo Silver by Precious Polish to each nail and then sealed...
