October Wishlist

Oh how badly I want all these things :o

1. Wine Vans

I already own pair of vans and they are the comfiest things ever, want this pair,just to change things up a bit! The colour would go with a lot, and I love the black lace combination !

2.RT Expert Face Brush

I think I might just be the only beauty blogger that still doesn't have this ! I have heard such good things, need need to buy!!

3.Topshop 'Inhibition' Lipstick

Such a gorgeous colour, I don't own any deep coloured lipsticks,  nice autumn/winter colour

4.Bourjois Bronzing Primer

I know this is more of a summer buy, but I still love that 'glowy tan' face effect! Want to try this out for a change from the usual powder formula!

5.'Girl About Town' Mac Lipstick

I have been loving this lippie for months, its such a nice pink colour, love love love!

6.Topshop 'Joni' Jeans Polka Dot and Dark Wash Grey

I want to really change up my jeans colours, and all the topshop jeans are tdf! But I especially love these ones. Apparently there meant to be really comfy!

Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer Review

I have had this concealer for nearly a year at this stage and had used it at most once or twice, but now my collection 2000 concealer has ran out, and I haven't had time to go out and get a new one, I found this again and love it so much!

I have never tried the actual healthy mix foundation but I think I might be converted after using this!
I'm getting really bad breakouts atm (which is extremely annoying) and I have dotted the concealer on the spots and blended with a brush. It covers them really well and is a thick formula.
At first when I saw the consistency was yellow toned I was kinda freaking out, but with good blending, it goes perfect! 
I also put this under my eyes, which is extremely refreshing and gets rid of any dark circles.
As this is a thick formula, it's actually very moisturising, which helps my dry under eye area!
As ye know I'm all about the scent, the smell of this so fruity and sweet! Apparently it is made with fruits??I also love that it is very hygienic, in the way you just squeeze it onto your finger insted of just putting it on straight with a wand (yes I'm a culprit!) But it does the job for me, and I think I may get this concealer instead of the collection 2000! YES its that good!

September Favourites

Hello all! Not as many favourites last month, as I was just using my usuals, but here are some newer products I was using! :)

1.Soap and Glory 'The Righteous Butter'

This is my little mini tub of it! So lovely to put on after the shower, really nice and moisturising, although I hate waiting for body moisturisers to dry, the smell makes it better! Its that usual sweet soap and glory smell! My clothes always smell gorgeous after this! Definitely getting the bigger tub !

2.Rimmel's 60 second Nail Varnish 'I Lilac it'

Not much of an autumny colour, but its just so pretty anyways! You may think it will turn out a purple colour, but it actually comes out a light barbie pink colour. It does what it says on the tin.

3.Hollister Hand Cream 'Malibu Beach'

Picked this up a couple of months ago, but used a lot of it in September! To be fair I wouldn't say this is the most moisturising hand cream, but the smell just tops it off! A really nice subtle smell, and good for putting on before bed! 

4.Kate Moss Lasting Finish Matt Lipstick 111

This a true red colour. Nice fruity smell off it (I'm all about the scent ;) ) I have never really dared to wear a bold colour on the lips, but I tried and I loved! Good coverage, doesn't dry out your lips and long wearing!

5.Essence Eyeshadow Base

Because I cant afford the UD primer potion, I decided to look for a cheaper alternative. This so so good! Put this on for a party, and my eyeshadow lasted all night and didn't crease.This also brings out the less pigmented shadows a lot more too. A hidden gem!

6.Maybelline Dream Touch Blush 02 'Peach'

I haven't been the biggest wearer of blush in the past few months, I have had this for ages. It is a cream blush! I have found my love again for it, it applies really smoothly and gives a nice healthy glow to the face. Also goes well with bronzer!

Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs Lotion Makeup Review

This tan is said to give 'smooth on leg makeup staying fresh and natural looking all day. Cover freckles, veins and imperfections. This light weight formula is water and transfer resistant'.

It cost 18 euros and I got it in the colour Medium.

Now all along I have been a complete lover of the spray version of this, so for a change I picked the lotion version up to see what it was like. As I said above it cost me 18 euros, which is really expensive for a high street tan!! I like the packaging, just like the spray can.

I applied this to my legs and body( I know I used it other places than my legs!) with a tanning mitt.

First of all the consistency of this is SO thick! It is literally like foundation for you're legs. So really you only need a tiny bit when squeezing out! When I put this on, if felt really heavy, and I must say didn't like that feeling at all, and to be honest my clothes did get a bit stained after this, which was really disappointing. (so much for transfer resistant and light weight formula!!)

You really need to scrub this tan in to avoid patches and streaks, as once you put this on, it can dry in really fast, so you need to scrub fast!!

I find the medium colour too orange and not natural looking at all, and I especially found it with this lotion!

The next morning, it was all patchy, and my bed sheets were all stained too, which I did expect as it's an instant tan, but still really disappointed with the whole 'transfer resistant' thing!

Really I've only used this lotion three times going out, but each time I have been disappointed with it. In future I will stick to the spray and a different more natural colour!

I don't know maybe I need to give it another few go's but this product is a definite thumbs down for me!

 Oh and also sorry I don't have my own picture up there, my cameras being a bit bold so I had to pick one off google images!

My School Essentials

Hello :) Just wanted to do a post on what little extras I bring to school everyday!

1.Body Spray

Just something to freshen up after PE or just during the day!

2.Pad

When that time of the month comes around, its just handy to have one in your bag if you forget!

3.Bobble and Clip

When you have long hair like myself, it can get really irritating going into your face and so on in school , with the bobble and clip you can throw up your hair, and problem sorted!

4.Paracetamol

I bring just 2 panadol, in case I get a headache, or cramps etc.

5.Concealer

If I'm having a spotty day, I will definitely bring concealer and a brush, just to put on some during the day! And its also handy to put under your eyes  if its after faded a bit!

6.Lip Balm

I bring baby lips. I will always have some kind of lip balm in my bag no matter what! I keep it in my pencil case, because it's more accessible, and nice to have moisturised lips.

7.Pressed Powder

Again if I'm having an oily face day, I will put this into my bag. I don't have oily skin, but its even just nice to top up on after PE or just to freshen up your makeup!

August Favourites

Hello! Long time no blog... just a little update, basically I've gone back to school and am in my second last year, which has been really busy lately and no doubt will continue, so that has been the reason for my lack of blogging! I'm gonna try and schedule more posts for the future! :)

Anyways this is my belated August Favourites, don't have as many for this month as I haven't used much new things!

1.Catrice Double Ended Eye Brush

I had been eyeing this for ages, and I'm so happy I got it,wow. One side is angled and the other is a dome type brush. I use the angled for my eyebrows, and lining and the dome side for blending ! Love this so much and the fact it was only 3 euros made it even better!!

2.John Freida Conditioner

From dyeing my hair so much, I have countless amount of conditioners left over from the boxes.

I wouldn't be a big conditioner user, but this is so so gorgeous on the hair. It smells amazing, and my hair felt so silky afterwards! Also good for colour protecting. You can get this conditioner separately too!

3.St.Ives Apricot Scrub Blemish Fighting

I hadn't exfoliated my face in months, because I felt it left my skin really dry and flaky, but one day I felt that my face needed a bit of resurfacing, so I used this! I have found my love for it again! Although the beads are fairly aggressive, it does the job! My skin felt so soft after, and my spots disappeared within a few days!

4.Water!

I have always been terrible for drinking water, and when I was younger I had very bad exczema and I was always told to drink more water, but I never listened. So one day I saw Zoella tweeted about an app called Idrate, which basically is every time you drink water you put the amount you drank and it would calculate up to your daily goal! Idrate is only available for Apple, but on the android play store, I got this app called Carbodroid, which is exactly the same app! Everyday my goal was to drink 2L, and I have been reaching it! I have really noticed a positive difference in my skin, and how I've been feeling ! Carbodroid really helped me, love that app!

5.Maybelline Baby Lips Peach Kiss

They came to Ireland in August, and have been a blessing! I got the colour peach kiss. The smell of it is amazing, and the fact they literally leave my lips like baby lips! I have been reapplying this so much! This colour is very neutral. Definitely getting another shade soon!

6.Natural Hair Acabado Leave in Conditioner

In August I felt my hair was really damaged after going into the sea a lot through out summer, I had this spray conditioner for ages and had never used it much. So one day after I got out of the sea, I sprayed this on my ends and brush it through! It contains brazil nut and keratin, which are brilliant for the hair! I think you can only get this in salons( I won it in a raffle!!)

Hope you enjoyed this post :)

Nivea Double Effect Eye Makeup Remover Review

I had run of eye makeup remover,I have never found a good one and I just picked this up thinking it would be great for my sensitive eyes. 

It cost me 3.00 euros. Little did I know it had two layers, an oil and an aqueous. According to this the "oil phase effectively removes waterproof mascara, eye makeup, specially formulated and tested for the sensitive eye area"."the aqueous phase protects and cares for the eye lashes with it's caring formula, without leaving an oil residue". Now I have always got on great with nivea products, but no way with this one.

What I look for in an eye makeup remover is to make your eyes feel refreshed and soothed, this remover gave me the complete opposite! It says on the bottle to shake it up to make sure the two phases get mixed. I shook so hard and yet within seconds it went back to its normal two layers. So everytime I squeezed this onto a face pad, it was literally oil. I know that oil based eye makeup removers are meant to be very good, and I will give that my eye shadow came off very quickly and easy but my mascara was a different story! I really had to scrub at my eye to get it off, therefore after my eye was red and irritated and felt all yocky oily. It feels awful on my eyes when I put it onto the pad, as the oil dries in very quickly so you have to squeeze tons of it on! Then I noticed the next morning all above my eyebrow, the bridge of my nose and temples of my forehead were covered in spots, and I would blame it on the oil of this remover!

As I quoted the back of the bottle above, it literally gives you the complete opposite.

Anyone with sensitive eyes, AVOID this remover!!
