Wet'N'Wild comes to Ireland

YES - you read that title correct. 
After years of seeing Wet'N'Wild product raves and reviews over YouTube and across blogs they have finally decided to come to Ireland!
They landed in Dunne's Store's a few week's ago, and myself and Aislinn literally screamed when we saw they had been stocked up.

First thing I picked up? Lipsticks obviously......
I picked up four colours, and my most loved is the dark red/purple called 'Cherry Blossom', apparently it's a great dupe for MAC's Diva (Can anyone confirm?) either way, I love it. I love dark lipstick so much so it was kind of obvious that this would be a fave!
The others I picked up we're 'Mauve Outta Here' 'Think Pink' and 'Just Peachy'.

The lipsticks themselves are really nice on consistency, they are quite creamy and long lasting for a lipstick that is only €3.99 you can't really go wrong!
I'm excited to try more from the range, I have my eye on the blushes next......
Have you tried anything from Wet'N'Wild?

Cocoa Brown*

Been born in the emerald isle mean's been born extremely pale, and with no proper Summer this mean's no chance of gaining a natural tan. There's nothing wrong with been pale, don't get me wrong, but I like having a glow, it makes me feel better. 
I won some Cocoa Brown tan on Twitter a few week's back and I wanted to show you all what I got. I received a little pink package with some mousse tan, a hot pink mitt and a gorgeous iPhone cover. How cute?

If you don't already know, Cocoa Brown is a tan created by Marissa Carter (she's kind of an idol of mine), it's an Irish product and I think it's awesome! The Cocoa Brown team are fabulous too, special shoutout to Stephanie who sorted me out with these goodies!

I'm gonna update you guy's when I get to use this with what I think of the colour, development, lasting power etc so I'll be back with that soon!

#bbloggersWLW

I missed this last week, in fact I didn't post here at all last week, that was due to a horrible flu and just a really bad week in general. If you follow me on Twitter you'll have seen me ranting! However, even with a crappy week, and a diet that was non existent I managed to loose a pound! I wasn't expecting it, so it was a nice surprise and it helped me be a bit better motivated this week. 

This week I have found a love for Earl Grey tea, I find it sweet and filling so I have been drinking it in work a lot. I don't like milk with it either so it's been helping to reduce my dairy intake. Excessive use of dairy products in my diet make's me feel horrible and bloated, but I love cheese so it's a constant battle!

I haven't really discovered anything new this week, or tried anything crazy, just been settling back into the swing of thing's. I've been walking Ecko (our puppy...) in the snow this morning so that was cute! Yes, I said snow, yes, it's February.. Mother nature is on one.

How are all you lady's doing?

Garnier Miceller Cleansing Water


As of recently I have become slightly obsessed with water cleansers. This was always bound to happen with the popularity of Bioderma on the blogsphere, but I can't get it in Ireland so the mission for a good 'dupe' began. Unsure if I can call any of the one's I have tried a dupe because I've never gotten to use Bioderma but I like what I have found so far.... After seeing Kate from DollyBowBow post a picture of this Garnier Miceller Cleansing Water, I headed off to Boots in search of it.

I've been using it for about a week now, and I think I like it best from all the one's I've tried. There's no scent, and it really does just feel like water on your skin which I like because I don't get on with cream or foaming cleanser's.

It's so big compared to any other I've seen too, it's a 400 ml bottle which equals to 200 uses according to Garnier. For around €6.99 I really think that this product is in the lead in the battle of the water cleansers.

Have you tried it?

The Dark Fantasy #issue2 - #IDGAFmagazine

As a self confessed book worm, music lover and fashion junkie it's hard to find something that brings all of these together and portrays it in a way that literally makes me go "oooh" out loud. Until now... Ladies and gentleman I give you #IDGAFissue2...

My style, and interests in general have we're born from my love of punk. Punk rock music, fashion and lifestyle was a big part of growing up. Since about the age of 13 I have been obsessed with the Sex Pistols, the Ramones, Iggy Pop, Sid Vicious, y'know the crew.. Fashion wise I look to the likes of Kurt Kobain, Courtney Love, Alexa Chung and Pixi Geldolf, as well as the Vivianne Westood style from the SEX day's. There is nothing more appealing than all black everything, pins, studs, leather and lace, and IDGAF has dedicated their entire second issue to this. I was lucky enough to get to see the issue before it's release date (tomorrow for you guys!!) it's been called 'The Dark Fantasy' and my God, I was impressed...



Here's a sneak peak of the cover of the magazine, and how awesome is it? It's grunge, yet urban and classy all at once! Perfection...

The writers got it spot on completely counteracting the usual pastel, floral and girly trends for Spring/Summer. Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with those, I am fond of floral myself as you'll know from my last post here in Wonderland, but the darker outlook from the team at IDGAF  is so refreshing and so inspiring. Think punk meets sex meets fashion meets a little 50 shades of grey, sound like something you'd like it? There is also an injection of urban and street style just to mix thing's up, which played out so well.

Check them out on Twitter for more information on the release so you can read it!

Some amazing brands have been featured in the issue this time too, and I know that for me, I can't ait to see more of them. The models are to die for, the style is immense. It honestly has inspired me so much I can't wait to add a bit of goth style into my life. Amazing job.... 

I'm so excited for you guy's to see it!
It will be launched tomorrow  (Sunday!) at 7.30

Winter Florals

I love flowers. Therefore, I love floral print's. The issue I have is that I'm not very 'girly' so I opt for dark florals, aired with cosy knits instead. This is a little combination I put together and I really liked the outcome.

I like the cut of the dress, thin straps and very flowy. I think it's a piece I could wear all year around which is obviously great for my bank account.

I picked this dress up for €8 in New Look, and my purple knit cardigan was €16 from Pennys/Primark.
