Mani Who?

Hello my loves...

Today I'd like to share with you a new experience of mine. Last week I got my first Mani-Q. When I first heard of this I literally said Mani who? I'd never heard of it before. Basically it's a 2 week non-chip, gel finish manicure over your own nails. This mean's there's no damage to your nails the way there is with getting gel nails. I've had a terrible experience with gel's so I'm not keen to ever rely on them again but because I've grown my own nails this summer I was able to get one of these manicures. It was a gift from my Mom for my birthday and I used the voucher last week before I headed off to Eminem at Slane here in Ireland and nearly a week later there still going strong. 

I got them done in a salon where I live called LA Beauty by the gorgeous Laura who owns the salon. I go there for everything and honestly, if I ever decide to move country she's coming with me. I really do trust her completely. The experience itself was so relaxing, it wasn't very time consuming which was great as I got it done between appointments and although I didn't have to pay for it I know that they cost €20 or €17 with a student discount. How great is that?

If this is something that's available in your area I would highly recommend it - such a great idea!

21 at last

Hey guys!

So a couple of weeks ago I turned 21! 21 at LAST... I've always been the baby of my group of friends so it was nice to finally celebrate my 21st birthday! I'm not a huge fan of big part's or thing's like that so I just had a small gathering in my house with some of my cloesest friends, my mom, and my brother and sister! My Mom and my friends spoiled me so much I wasn't expecting anything really and I ended up with an iPhone 4S which I was estatic about! I got so many other nice thing's, had so much fun and my cake was brilliant. A white chocolate and cream cake with a picture of my Benjamin and I on it :) It's tradition in Ireland I think for baby picture's to be on display on a 21st cake but nope, I got my cat. I like to be different, what can I say? ;)

Anyway, I had such a great night I just wanted to show you some pictures :)

 Happy Birthday to me :)

 My fantastic cake.

 My fave's - Shirley, Katie, Maryanne, Paddy, Myself, Lisa and Aislinn.

Lisa and I.

My Mom & I. My best friend.

Maybelline Colour Tattoos

Hello my darlings!

I'm back today with something that I've been actually loving the last few weeks! They've been around for months but it's only now that I've seen a colour that made me stop and think "yes, you must be mine", and that's this stunning colour in 'Pomegranate'. Cream eye shadows have never really been my thing because, I'll be honest, I'm not the best at applying them. I seen this colour when Zoe showed it in a favourite's video. Alas, do you think that my local Boots would have it in stock? No, of course not. Just my luck. However, I found it while wandering around one of the bigger Boots in the city and snapped it right up!

I applied it first for a wedding I went to a couple of weeks ago and it's such a nice, shimmery burgundy colour. The lasting power is great and it doesn't crease at all. This little beauty has defiantly made me more open to using more cream eye shadows in the future so any recommendation's tweet me :)

The Pink Of All Pinks

Hey my lovelies :)

I'm a sucker for pink lipsticks. I have nude pinks, coral pinks, hot pinks but nothing like beauty that is MAC's Candy Yum Yum! It's a bright, nearly neon pink that has been on my lip's a lot this summer especially for festivals, gig's etc. It's such a fun colour and anyone who, like me, is a fan of pink, should defiantly take a look into this!

It's a matte finish meaning it can be slightly drying but a gloss, balm or re-application will that out and trust me when I say it is worth it! I honestly can't get enough of it!

What do you think of Candy Yum Yum? Would you dare?

I'm Natasha, and I'm a bad blogger

Hello,

Do you remember me? I'm Natasha, the worlds worst blogger!

I haven't been around much lately but there's been a lot going on in real non-blogging life and it's just taken over but I am back, so hiiii :)

There's been lot's happening as I said, I got a letter the other day offering me my honours degree so that was amazing, I had a best friend's birthday and my little sister's birthday too! I've also been working loads too, and making plans for this weekend (The Killers in Pheonix Park, Dublin!) and for my birthday (I'm 21 very soon eeek!!) 

I've been thinking about making a shedule for Wonderland, what do you guys think? Or should I just blog when I feel like it? I'm not sure as I enjoy both with the blog's I read...

While I'm thinking about that, here's an idea of what's coming up in the following week;

- Birthday plans and preparation

- June Favourites

- June's blogger of the month ;)

- A very exciting collaboration with Malzee.com

So for those of you who have been sending me e-mails and tweets thank you so much!! & don't worry I'm not going anywhere ;)

One last thing.....
