Face Masking It ❤️

Hello lovelies,
I have a little beauty post for you guys today! I am a major fan of face masks as you probably already know. They are the perfect treat for your skin every week. They are quick and easy to apply and the benefits are plentiful. Personally, I love the face masks that you can buy in the drugstore or chemist as they are cheap and cheerful. There is no fuss and you are left with more or less the same results as the more expensive brands.

Following this week, I felt that my skin looked a bit dull and tired - along with some typical teenage-skin breakouts. So what other way to sort that out than to whip out a face mask and treat my face to some TLC. 

Firstly, I cleansed my skin with my usual cleanser and a damp cotton pad. Then I began to apply the face mask - this took me about 2-3 minutes. Then I just sat back and relaxed for 15 minutes and let the mask work its magic on my exhausted skin. After about 15 minutes I rinsed the mask off with some lukewarm water and patted my face dry with a dry face-cloth.

My face looks so much brighter and feels so much fresher and comfortable! My breakout has even become less aggressive due to the aloe vera in the mask. 

What's your favourite face masks to use? Let me know! 

If you have any questions don't be afraid to ask.

Until next time lovelies :)

Shellac Syndrome ❤️

Afternoon,

Many people find having perfectly polished nails quite the task. This is because most nail polish will chip at the slightest tip off of a surface, or while rooting in a handbag or doing household chores. It can be highly irritating when you're heading out and see that your nails look they have been through the wars. Well, I think I can help! 

CND Shellac is an Über glamorous 14+ day wear nail color. It is available in 65 countries worldwide. It is chip-resistant and looks absolutely flawless. There are currently 79 Designer Shades to choose from. Click here to view them! 

CND also produced a Weekly polish called VINYLUX for those that would prefer to change their nail color more often.

I adore shellac and treat my talons to a fresh, stunning look almost every 3-4 weeks. Every time I have gotten my shellac applied it has lasted me the 3-4 weeks without chipping or lifting. The only reason I have to get them done again is due to my own fast nail growth. 

Application Process:

1. Start by applying the CND Base Coat, then place under the UV lamp to dry and harden
2. Apply coat 1 of selected color, place under UV lamp
3. Apply coat 2 (if necessary) of selected color, place under UV lamp
4. Apply CND Top Coat and finish by placing under UV lamp one final time
5. Voilá, you have perfectly polished nails!

Some of my favorite Shellac looks: 

Studio White with blue glitter pigment & diamante!

Hotskie To Tchotchke with diamante!

  

Gotcha & Grape Gum!

Rose Bud & Mint Convertible!

   Over & Out :)

Bourjois Buys ❤️

Hiya,
So I have recently fallen in love with a fabulous makeup brand that I spotted in Boots not so long ago. Bourjois is a internationally recognized cosmetics brand which birthed in 1863 in the City Of Love, Paris! It is, in my opinion, one of the most under-rated  makeup brands on the market today. Its is both affordable and delivers a flawless look. Below are some of the products that I have tried:



NEW Healthy Mix Foundation:

 I adore this foundation. It made my skin look and feel so much healthier than before. It gave me a gorgeous dewy finish which I love for day wear. I found it to be long-lasting also, which is exactly what I need in a foundation. There is also a gorgeous, fresh, fruity scent within the foundation which is always a positive in my eyes! 

Price: €14.29 (Boots)





Healthy Mix Concealer

















This concealer is an absolute lifesaver for me! It covers almost anything. My dark, under-eye circles and blemishes are as good as invisible with this concealer. I also found it great to use when highlighting and contouring. Like the foundation, it also has that fab fruity scent.

Price: €9.99 (Boots)





Maxi Delight Bronzer

















I am constantly in search of a good quality bronzer to contour with. This bronzer isn't 'cakey' or 'dirty-looking' on the skin like some bronzers can be. It is perfect for shaping and defining facial features. It also contains a non-drying formula that lets your skin breathe, which is always a good thing.

Price: €11.99 (Boots)





Little Round Pot Blush:

This little blush pot is the cutest cosmetic container I have ever seen. It comes with a little powder brush and compact mirror inside for on-the-go touch ups.  It is available in 12 shades to match all skin tones. It is easy to apply and blends easily. Furthermore, it gives the skin a gorgeous complexion.

Price: €9.99 (Boots)

Have a look at a picture of me wearing all of the Bourjois products listed above. I applied this face of makeup at 6am for work and it lasted me the full 8 hour working day without need of a touch-up, not to mention the further 5 or 6 hours I wore it after work before removing it. This picture was taken around 3pm - that's 9 hours of wear!!!

That is all for now!

Final Purchases of 2014 ❤️

Final Beauty & Fashion Purchases of 2014:

2014 for me was a year full of Beauty & Fashion purchases! My final purchases of the year were some of my favourite. Below are some of these purchases with Shop details and price information:

 I adore these clothing purchases from Penney's (Primark) in the Crescent Shopping Centre in Limerick. 

•  Ripped Boyfriend Jeans - €13
• Black/Grey Poncho Cardigan - €17
• Creme Blazer - €17
• Black/White Aztec Print Poncho - €17
• Grey Fitted Woollen Jumper - €5 (Reduced from €13)
• Red 4-section Handbag - €13

Boots are an absolute MUST fashion staple in my eyes, especially in Ireland due to the notorious Irish weather. I wear boots with nearly every outfit - mainly because they are both comfortable and fashionable. Dunnes Stores, Childers Rd always have a fabulous array of footwear:

• Brown-Leather Elasticated Ankle Boot - €25 (reduced from €50)
• Brown-Leather Riding Boot - €25 (reduced from €40)

The pictures below are two of the outfits I wore recently featuring some of my new purchases:

OUTFIT 1:                                                                               
Ripped Boyfriend Jeans rolled up at the hem, teamed up with a White Camisole Top, Black/White Aztec Print Poncho Cardigan, Brown-Leather Elasticated Ankle Boots and a Brown-Leather Skinny Belt tied at the waist for a casual everyday look. Perfect for going shopping or meeting up with friends.

OUTFIT 2:
Skinny Denim Jeans teamed with a Long-Sleeved Black Top, 
Black/White Aztec Print Poncho Cardigan, Brown-Leather Riding Boots and a Skinny Brown-Leather belt to tie the outfit together. I wore this outfit on New Years Eve to go visiting Family in the evening. It is the perfect blend of casual and  'dressy' which is what I like to achieve with an outfit like this.

I love EYLURE and all of their products. I saw this particular product in Boots in The Crescent Shopping Centre, Limerick for €10.75:

I usually go to a professional Beautician or Beauty Therapist to get both my eyebrows and eyelashes tinted. It can be a costly trip to the Spa or Salon. I was spending roughly €20-€30 every 5/6 weeks to keep my brows and lashes looking their best, as well as the hassle of trying organize an appointment to get them done. Thank God I found this lifesaver. 

The kit consists of a plastic container that holds the contents in place, but is also features a little mixing dish to mix the color and the peroxide, a plastic applicator, a spoolie to brush the brows and brush through the tint for an even distribution, a tube of color and a bottle of peroxide - enough for roughly 12 applications.

I am in LOVE with this product as it gave me gorgeous and rich colored brows. 

It was extremely easy to apply and I was more than delighted with my end result,

Well worth the purchase! 

Happy New Years!
