My Top 3 Rompers

Hey guys!

I meant to post this ages ago but I didn't get around to it until now! Today I'm going to share with you my top 3 favourite rompers. These are 3, what I would say, summery outfits and you might notice a common theme because they all have pretty cool backs! I love playsuits/jumpsuits cause you can just throw them on and you have a whole outfit ready to go. They can also be dressed up or down so are very versatile.

Summer Party

Current Skincare Routine

Hey guys!

It’s been a while since I’ve written a post on skincare. My skincare routine doesn’t change as often as it used to as my acne has gotten a lot better due to a medication I was on. However I am still really interested in skincare and love trying new products. Today I thought that I could update you on my current skincare routine. It’s quite simple and doesn’t involve very many products as I’ve come to realise that sometimes the best thing for my skin is to just leave it alone!



What I Wore In Croatia

Hey guys!

Yesterday I returned from a ten day trip to Croatia with my family. It was a holiday of sun burn, ice cream and swimming and it was lots of fun. I am currently itching my entire body due to both bug bits and peeling sun burn! Anyway I thought that I could share with you a few of the outfits I wore while I was there. I have to admit that I forgot to get pics of my outfits most days and often I spent most of the day in my bikini anyway! But here are a few of the outfits I did manage to capture.

Summer Holiday Haul

Hey guys!
As you're reading this I'll actually be in Croatia cause this is a post I had pre-prepared! After months of being cooped up studying in my room I finally got to hit the shops and God had I missed them. On this day we only had a couple of hours so I didn't get a huge amount but I did get some holiday essentials.

March Favourites

Hey guys!

I haven’t done a favourites post in aaages because to be honest I use the same things all the time! The only things that really change regularly are the songs I listen to and shows I watch. But anyway I thought I would do one this month because I love hearing about other people’s favourites.

Revlon Colorstay Foundation&Revlon Photoready primer REVIEW

Hey guys!

So I mentioned in my Winter Haul post a while back that I bought the Revlon Colourstay foundation and the Revlon Photoready primer. Today, as you probably have already guessed from the title, I’m going to review both these products.

Now I had been eyeing up this foundation for a while. I had heard good things, but for a drugstore foundation I thought it was a bit on the pricey side (it retails for about 18euro in Ireland). However I received some Boots vouchers for Christmas and I thought might as well give it a go.

I think you can imagine how annoyed I was when I went back a week later to the very same Boots and saw that they were having a 2 for €20 offer on Revlon face products! So to suppress my anger I decided that I was still going to benefit from this offer and bought another Colourstay foundation and the Photoready primer.

Hair Dye FAIL

Hey Guys!

So it’s been 3 weeks since my last post and I’m sorry about that, just had a lot going on with school and stuff! But today I thought I would tell you about a recent home dying experience that I had. You might be expecting bright orange hair or something but actually it’s the opposite. Literally nothing happened. It might seem a bit irrelevant to put up a post about something that didn’t work but if any of you guys are thinking about dying you hair at home I just wanted to say that I don’t recommend this product!

Simple Make-up, Hair and Outfit for a Casual Day

Hey guys!

Originally I was going to title this as ‘lazy day hair, make-up and outfit’ but realistically if I know that I’m going to be at home all day I’ll be wearing no makeup and trackies! But this is something you could do if you know you’re not going to be doing much but still want to look like you made an effort.

Top 5 BB Creams

Hey guys!

BB creams became really big a few years ago and they’ve stuck around. They’re perfect if you’re having a good skin day or just don’t feel like wearing that much make-up! I wear BB cream to school most days, so here are a couple that I have tried and tested.

 Rimmel- 9-in-1
This is probably my joint favourite BB cream that I have tried. It gives good coverage plus it has SPF, which is definitely something I look for whenever I buy makeup.

18 Things I Learned in 18 Years

Hey guys!

So, just before New Year’s I turned 18. Finally an adult woo! I thought it would be fitting to share some things that I have learned over my childhood years, though I think I’ll still count myself as a child until I’m into my 20’s to be honest! Obviously not tryna preach here or anything just sharing some stuff I hope can help ye out, be you 7 or 70.

1.    Appreciate your family

I’m definitely guilty of not doing this. I’ll be the first to admit that out of my family of 5, I’m probably the most argumentative. I don’t mean to be I just tend to take stress out on other people. But your family are the people who love you the most in the world so I try to remember to be grateful because I know I’m so lucky to have them in my life (ok  we’re already getting soppy here)

2.    Don’t stress the small stuff

I tend to get really stressed about things that don’t matter. It’s like I know I shouldn’t worry but I still stay up at night thinking about things that really don’t need to be worried about! I just try to remember that in 5 years’ time I’ll probably completely have forgotten about the stress, or to be honest, 5 days time!

OOTD - 5th Jan

Hey guys!

So I know technically this isn't an outfit of the day but it is an outfit of a day!

I was wearing this outfit on the day I put up my last post (check that out here). I still wanted to put it up though because I'll probably just be wearing my school uniform and comfy clothes for the next few weeks as I'm studying for my Leaving Cert pre exams!

Winter Haul

Hey guys!

 

So these are some of my recent purchases. Some I got when I went to Scotland and a lot of stuff I picked up post Christmas!

My Dressing Table

Hey guys!

Today I thought I would share with you a place where I spend time pretty much every morning. In my room I have two big wardrobes and built in between them is a dressing table. I have a lot of makeup, hair products and beauty tools so trust me when I say this really comes in handy. I thought that ye might like to see how I arrange everything so ye might get some ideas for your own makeup etc storage!

OOTD

Hey guys!

So this is technically not an OOTD because I actually wore this last week!! But I've been really really busy lately so I just had time to quickly snap these photos on the day I wore this outfit. Luckily I already had the Healthy Sticky Peanut Butter Treats post ready to go. Anyway lets just pretend that this post isn't a week later than I meant it to be!

Weekday Night Time Routine

Hey guys!

Ok so I decided to write a post about my daily night time routine. Personally I love reading blogs and watching youtube videos just to see what other people do at night. It’s such a great way to find new products and introduce new things into your own routine. So anyway, here is what I generally do to prepare myself for the all important beauty sleep!

Once I’ve finished my homework/study/exercise,and all the stuff that needs to get done in the day I like to relax by watching something on Netflix or a couple of youtube videos. As I said in my April favourites, I love love love Suits. I'm also really into Pretty Little Liars at the moment. And youtube videos, I watch A LOT of them.

My Top 4 Drugstore Concealers

Hey guys!

I was gonna call this post ‘the best drugstore concealers’ but then I thought that I haven’t actually tried all the concealers in the pharmacy so I couldn’t really claim to know the best! So here are just 4  concealers that I really like out of the ones that I have tried.

Exam Stress and Study Tips

Hey guys!

So with my summer end of year exams looming around the corner ie they’re starting next week!! I thought it would be a good time to write about a post about dealing with exam stress and just a few helpers for how to study. Now, I have to admit that I could be called somewhat of a nerd. I like to do well and I’m only happy if I know I’ve done the best I could have done. Because of that I do tend to get a bit stressed out around exam times, as any member of my family will tell you. So basically these are just a few things I’ve picked up over my years of swotting.

Fashion Trends to Try This Summer 2015

Hey guys!

So I've recently been looking at the S/S trends from the catwalks and just on other blogs and stuff and I have to say I'm really excited to try some of them out. I think I'm guilty of playing it safe when it comes to fashion even though there's loads of trends I like, I'm just afraid I won't be able to pull them off. I also re-joined Tumblr this week. I've had an account for a while but I found it kind of confusing to work! I've sort of figured it out now and oh my God some of the fashion inspo pics on there. Seriously like the style of  some girls is actually amazing. I can see why there's so many "tumblr inspired outfits" blog post and YouTube videos now! So anyway basically what I've done is found some pictures of trends I like from the catwalks and some pictures from Tumblr with ideas of how to wear the trends.

Boho

I love love love this trend. The colours and patterns are so perfect for summer. There's just something so cool about the boho chic look. I 100% want to get some sort of boho inspired dress/top/kimono. I can see myself wearing this trend on holidays or at the beach.

Neutrogena visibly clear spot stress control daily scrub Review

When it comes to skin care, I am very hard to please. I've suffered with spotty skin since I was about 12, and it's only gotten worse as I got older

I picked up this Neutrogena scrub about a month ago.

I generally use scrubs twice a week and I alternate this one with the Soap and Glory Scrub Your Nose in it. I would say that I slightly prefer it to my Soap and Glory scrub, mainly because it specifically targets spotty skin.
