Mini Haul
Did a bit of shopping last week, so I said I'd show ye what I bought!
1.Herbal Essences Clarifying Shampoo
Basically my hair is so so oily and gets greasy really fast! My hair has been like this for nearly 2 years now! It always felt heavy as if there was a lot of build up in it. I've tried every cleansing shampoo out there, nothing had worked! So finally I came across this gem. Its a clarifying/cleansing shampoo, so it gets rid of any build up in the hair! I am proud to say it actually works :D My hair feels so much lighter and healthier, gets rid of the greasiness and just gives your hair a good cleaning ! The smell of it is also really nice! Well worth the buy!! I bought this in boots for around 4.00 euros!
2.Navy Bird T-shirt
I've actually looked through my wardrobe recently and noticed I have so many navy or blue things :o anywaaays I love this t-shirt, and the bird design on it! Its a nice light summer top which you can wear with anything! And I got it for absolutely nothing in penneys/primark for 3.00 euros
3.Royal Blue Skater Skirt
I've been on the look out for a skater skirt for aages, and after debating between so many, I finally decided on this. Again its such an easy colour to put stuff with, for example, I cant wait for summer to wear this with the t-shirt I just bought and my navy vans! But the skirt is a nice fit, high waisted and flows nicely. Penneys 7.00 euros

Hair Dye Review

So I blogged a post about 'Should I or Shouldn't I' last week! And as you can see I did end up dyeing my hair in the end!
So I used the John Freida Precision Foam Colour in 10B Extra light beige blonde.
I was so scared to use it!I picked up this colour by mistake, and tried to return it but unfortunately I wasn't allowed. I had seen reviews about saying 'oh if you have golden tones in your hair, it would turn out yellow' or else I saw images of really whitey white blonde, which of course I wasn't aiming for at all! My roots were badly needed to be done, so I said I may as well give it a go! I was really impressed by it! The coverage was really good , and although it didn't give me the colour on the box( which was expected) it made my hair much lighter and as my friends quote "fresher looking". My roots were amazingly concealed!
The box contained a colourant, developer, conditioner(which smells amazing!!) and gloves!
The only thing I'm afraid of is, I still think I have that brassy tone in my hair, and I hate that! I'm not sure though!Comment below!! It's pricey enough for a home dye €15.00 but it is so worth, I would recommend it to a friend, but not so sure about buying it again!
Thanks for reading, hope ye enjoyed :))

What I Bought In Dublin
Okay guys, first of all I just want to say, really sorry for the delay of this post, I've had a lot of trouble trying to edit the pictures and my laptop has been snail slow, so sozz about that :)
So as you can see, I didn't buy a whole lot in the end, but I'm really happy with what I got!
1.Soap and Glory Hand Maid I bought this in boots. It is a hand sanitiser/ hand cleansing gel! Omg guys the smell off this is so amazing! It'll make you wanna put this on your hands all the time! My hands feel really fresh after and its handbag size friendly too! 3.50 euro
2.Grey Jumper I bought this in Forever 21. Its a really nice wool material! This jumper is really good for lazy/casual days and it goes with a lot of things which is even better! 15 euros
3.Revlon Colour Stay Foundation This was another purchase from boots! This is my recent everyday foundation! I changed to the normal/dry skin formula, simply because my skin has changed a lot this year. I just love it, its a complete staple product of mine. I'm not going to go into detail about, as I will do a complete review on it soon! 17.50 euros
4.Light Wash Skinny Jeans I wanted to update my jeans, and for a change I decided to go with the light wash denim, which was weird because for many years I have hated that type of jeans! These are a good fit but are very tight, and hard to take off, but they look nice on I guess!
This was bought in Bershka for 12.99 euros
5.Royal Blue Jeans Yes I bought another pair of jeans!! so I went with the spring trends and got these gorgeous Royal blue coloured skinny jeans! I bought them in Forever 21. They're a nice fit and not skin clinging ones, and there actually easy to get off surprisingly enough! Again these can be worn with a lot of other things 21.50 euros
6.Khaki Army Jacket I had been looking for a spring jacket for ages, and could never find the right one, but I found it! Again following the trend of the Army coat inspired, it's a nice material , there are stud embellishments on the shoulders and strings at the waist, that can give the coat a better shape! The coat is a nice weight for the spring and summer! I bought this in penneys/primark 30.00 euros
That is it, hope you enjoyed !
More blog posts coming up soon slan x

Should I, should I not???
Okay guys my hair is in bad need of a dye but I picked up John Freida, precision foam colour in extra light beige blonde, and I think its the wrong colour??
My hair is dark golden I guess , so I decided to google what the dye is like , and apparently if you have golden bits in your hair, this turns it yellow! So I'm fairly peed off, seeing as it cost 15 euros and all!
But please leave a comment below on what you think I should do!
Heres a pic

2.Foundation

7.Mascara

9.Lips
Now I'm not too big into lipsticks( I'm trying to though!!)
But really all I use is a moisturising lip balm, either
Carmex or Vaseline!

thank you for reading :))
* What you Need *
- Concealer
- Foundation
- Compact Powder
- Blush
- Bronzer
- Powder and Foundation/Stippling Brush
- Hands
- Mascara
- Eyeliner
- Face
- Eyes
- Unused Mascara brush
- Eyeliner pencil/ Eye shadow
1.Concealer
I dab my Collection 2000 shade 1 Under My Eyes, and any blemishes and blend it with a flat foundation brush2.Foundation
I have started to use revlon colour stay in shade buff ! I apply it with my real techniques stippling brush!
I apply it evenly all over my face and down my neck, to avoid colour difference lines

3.Powder
I don't use powder anymore,due to my dry skin,
Get your powder brush or kabuki brush and swirl it into your powder. I use Rimmel's Stay Matte
Swirl your brush evenly around your face , especially in the T-Zone ( Nose,Chin, and Forehead)
4.Blush
Get your Contour brush or a regular powder brush*and swirl it into your blush.
Smile!
Identify the parts that stand out the most on your cheeks and cover them in blush!
I use The Natural Collection in Pink Cloud
*If you cant get or cant afford a contour brush just squeeze your powder brush to give it a slimer appearence simples ! :)

5.Bronzer
Again get your contour or powder brush and swirl in your bronzer
Tap off the excess
Do a pout
Now, right underneath the top of your cheekbone( the hard bit of your cheek) lightly tint it with the bronzer
Brush your temples,forehead and your jaw bone.
But remember to do it VERY lightly
*I use Hoola Benfit

FACE DONE
6.Eyeliner
This is an optional step.
Recently I've started applying an eyeliner pen to my upper lid and slightly winging it out(even though my mom hates when I do that ;))
I use Soap and Glory SuperCat
You apply your eyeliner wherever you want on your eye, but the most popular places to put it would be on the top and bottom waterline! It might feel a bit tingly when you do it first but you will get used to it, I use Rimmel Kohl Pencil Eyeliner
Also, any fellow people with glasses,eyeliner looks really well, when you have you're specs on as it brings out the eye and really defines it !

7.Mascara
With your mascara swipe it on your upper and lower lashes, doing zig-zaggy ways to avoid clumps
If you want a more defined look blink whilst holding the mascara on your lashes
I use two mascaras
1. For length: No.7 Extreme Length

2:For volume: Maybelline The Falsies

8.Eyeshadow*
This is an optional step if you really want to polish off your everyday look, but this step of course depends on whether you have the time to do it!
So basically, what I would and try aim for would be a really natural subtle bronzey eye look.
So to achieve this look I use Rimmel Quattro in brown, they have steps on the back on how to do it!
Eyeshadow gives a more defined look to the eyes! And will bring out the colours in your eyes really well
