Autumn, what are you wearing?

There's something about this outfit that I love. I don't love any of the individual pieces but I love the over all effect. I had this on my desktop and couldn't stop looking at it! haha It's so warm and cosy :)I think I may try put together a similar look from my own wardrobe. (since I won't be paying £950 for the Chloe dress!!)

My MAC Palettes

Since I'm sick and house bound (boo hoo!) I'm very miserbable and bored. I decided to de-pot some MAC eye-shadows and blushes, something I've been meaning to do for weeks.

I completed the de-potting without cutting or burning myself... a miracle! As I was putting the shadows into my paletts I decided that I was enjoying myself. I took out every shadow and sorted them by colour. I'd never have done this except I was so bored! Haha So I decided to share :)

Blush: Well Dressed, Peeches, Lillicent (yes I nearly melted it!)

Stark Naked, Peechykeen, Blunt

Carbon, Smut, Deep Truth

Black Tied, Knight Devine, Steamy

Print, Naval.

Ego,Da Bling , Cranberry, Red Brick

Paradisco, Swish, Sketch

Coral, Stars n' Rockets, Beautymarked

 

Phloof, omega, Mythologgy, Sable, Beautyburst

All that Glitters,Patina, Woodwinked, Twinks, Coppering

Pollinator, Tempting, Satin Taupe, Antiqued

Now all I need to do is fill the gaps :)

John Freida Frizz Ease Mask & Serum

Hi everyone,

I'm addicted to John Frieda products at the moment. My hair has been quite dry lately. I assume a summer of sun and chlorine has done my hair no favours.

When I was in Lanzarote my hair was completely un-managable. I think the extra mineral content in the water makes my hair limp and very difficult to style. I set out to find a deep conditioning treatment.

I came across John Frieda Frizz Ease Recovery Mask in the supermarket so gladly gave it a go. It is recommended to leave the product in for 5 minuntes but since my hair was so dry I left it in for an hour and then rinsed it out.

My hair was like silk afterwards! I was so pleased that I bought a whole tub of it when I got home. I now use it once a fortnight for 5 minutes.


Since I loved it so much I decided to try some of their other products. I settled on Frizz Ease Serum. I don't usually have frizzy hair but occasionally after lots of styling my hair could do with a relaxing serum.

I applied a small amount to damp hair, avoiding the roots like the plague. I let my hair dry naturally. My hair was really soft afterwards. A downside for me is that whenever I use the serum my hair gets greasy more quickly.

I think I'll stick to the Miraculouos Recovery Mask and save the serum for really bad hair days (the kind that only happen once or twice a year!)

I'm keen to try their range for Blondes.

What are your favourite hair products?

Exclusive Video: My 5 Minute Make-Up

Hi everyone,

I'd love if you would check out my new video, 5 Minute Make-up. This one won't be on YouTube, it's on Sarah's blog. Here's the link;

 http://short.ie/f6kevd

It'd be great if you could let me know what you  think by leaving a comment below the video. I'll do the same as I did for my last video on Sarah's blog; one comment will be chosen at random and that person will win a M.A.C Lipglass :)

The look in the video is my usual day make-up. I also usually wear this look in YouTube videos. It's really quick and easy because I'm always running late :)



Thank you all for your support!

My little sister...

This type of video has been requested a lot!

Eimear loves make-up! Although she doesn't wear very much since she's so young! But she did let me experiment on her, thanks Eimear! :)

All the products I used on her are from Boots and are super cheap.

Hope you enjoy!

Breakout cleared in 3 days!

I was very excited to try a new cleansing routine. It turns out my skin doesn't seem to like change. After a week I woke up with a big breakout on my chin. I usually use Quinoderm but my chin was sore all over so I didn't want to use anything too harsh.
I picked up  Clearasil Ultra Vanishing 3 Day Acne Treatment Cream when I was in Spain (there weren't any other options!) and it worked then so I decided to give it another go. I applied it morning and night and my skin was nearly perfect after two and a half days.
One of it's main ingredients is Salicylic Acid which causes cells of the epidermis to shed more readily, preventing pores from clogging up and allowing room for new cell growth. Some people are allergic to Salicylic Acid so be careful. 

I'll definitely repurchase this product. I may even bin my Quinoderm!
