Seventeen Phoarr Paint

I wasn't joking when I said I was taking thing's in Wonderland more seriously in 2014. Hiiiiii - today I'm back with a review of a product I have been loving in 2013, and continue to do so in 2014 and that is the 17 Phowarr paint concealer. Is that not the coolest name ever by the way? I always laugh when I say it!

Anyway, I think 17 have really been stepping it up lately, a few other of my favourite products of theirs are their lipsticks and there all dolled up mascara (currently on offer for a fiver in boots!) but I shall discuss those in good time my loves.

My shade is in fair, and it matches my skin tone so well, I was super impressed when I first used it. I love the little pot it comes in too, it makes it really compact and the mirror makes it easy to travel with in case you need to touch up during the day. The consistency itself is something I really like too, its thick without been cakey and doesn't crease under the eye, which is fabulous considering the dark circles I'm prone to getting. Although my skin is fairly okay and I don't get too many spots it has helped when the odd little daemon attacks my poor face!

At under 10 euros I really do believe that this is work picking up and trying it out!

Sunday Pampering

Just after my birthday this year I accidentally gave up blogging. I didn't mean too, it kind of just happened? Well, life happened. A lot was going on in my personal life as well as the added pressure of a new job. A job which I love none the less, but it took up a lot of my time. I still have my job but I feel a lot more balanced in my life at the minute and I miss blogging, and the community that goes with it. One of my news years resolutions was to take my blog more seriously and actually write! So, I'm starting off with something nice and relaxing... literally.

As it's Sunday (the last day of the weekend boo!) I feel that a little pampering is in order. I gathered my products of choice and just chilled out! Here's what made the cut -

Argan Oil Shampoo & Conditioner - Oh my day's, I am in love with this stuff. I've never been loyal to a shampoo or conditioner before, but I picked this up last week in town and honestly it is faaaaaabulous.

Argain Oil Heat Defensive - This is a counterpart of the above, but none the less, I'm really liking it. It's lightweight, serves its purpose and smells divine.

Boots Coconut Spray In Conditioner - It's nothing mind blowing, just something I always spray into my hair every time I wash it. I feel it protects my hair just a little bit more, and the scent is divine. An absolute bargain at €1.99!

Ozzy 3 minute miracle treatment - I gave this a go for the first time today, so watch this space!

Sugar Crush body scrub - A Soap & Glory classic, I love this stuff. I know the scent can be a bit much for some people, but personally, I love it. Fresh, fruity, zesty ahhh. What more could you want?

Sugar Crush body butter - Applying this after a big bubble bath or a long shower is just lovely. It's thick and creamy, and gives so much moisture into my skin. It also helps the scent from the scrub last on my skin, and seeing as I love the scent this is obviously a good thing!

Body Oil - A quick spray, and my skin is lovely and smooth!

Now along with all these products there are of course some added thing's that helps make a great lazy Sunday! This part of the post will alter depending on your personal choice but here's my list.....

• Scented candles.. I'm currently burning Yankee Candle Vanilla & Lime, heavenly!
• The new episode of the Carrie Diaries... obviously.
• Some blog reading... Catching up with Vivanna & Alix this afternoon.
• Onsie. Currently sporting a grey Mickey Mouse one. 

So that's it my loves! I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and New Year! Here's to 2014!

VIPXO Inspired

Victoria posted about these watches the other day, aren't they gorgeous?

Well I actually spotted these on eBay back in late November, early December and snapped one up for around €2.33, bargain much? However, I kind of forgot about it and it went into my jewellery box along with everything else I should wear but I don't.... but since Victoria's post I pulled it back out and it hasn't left my wrist since.

I think its very simple, yet nearly boho inspired? and it's different, there's not a lot of thing's floating around with world maps on them, so it's really eye catching without been over powering. I love it. 

What do you guys think?

The Go To

Hi Guy's!

This evening I'm posting what I like to call 'The-Go-To', simply because that's exactly what it is. Acid wash jeans, a white t-shirt that is easily 3 sizes too big for me, and some leopard print pumps. I was heading off to do some thing's in town so it's really casual. I did however dress it up with this blazer I snatched up in a charity shop for less than €1 - which, by the way, I'm blaming Kate for ;) I matched the blazer to my lipstick which is MAC's Girl About Town, a glossy hot pink that is super pretty in my opinion!

I'm also featuring my new ring's.. The one with the lilac stone is one I picked up from a local music & art fair, and the one with the little cat is from e-bay. I've named him Lewis in case your wondering!

I'm posting a #throwbackthursday blog post tomorrow so come check that out too!

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.
