Boots Haul

Hey Everyone! So I went into Boots today just for a nosey but lets face it a nosey always ends up costing us 20 or 30 euro! so I decided to do a quick post on what I purchased :) hope you enjoy :)

Rimmel London Scandal Eyes Waterproof Gel Eyeliner

As some of you may know from my previous blog posts I am terrible at doing eyeliner, but I tried the Maybelline Gel Liner before and it was so much easier to apply and to clean up if I made mistakes, which I always do. I seen this in boots and decided to try it because it was cheaper than the Maybelline Gel Liner. fingers crossed this Liner is as good as the Maybelline. Once I have tried it I will do a Review for you all :) The Rimmel London Gel Liner cost 8.99 Euro.

The Eyeliner comes in a 2.4g tub and also comes with a application brush.

Soap & Glory Dr Spot Break Out Clearing Gel

When I seen this I had to buy it to try it out, I ALWAYS break out in spots, I drink loads of water and wash my face everyday so I decided to give it a try and hope it works! It was also on special which was an added bonus, it cost me 6.65 euro but the original prices is 9.99 euro, which is slightly expensive for such a small tube, but if it works it will be worth it.

The Tube size is 15ml

Rimmel London 1 Love Lasting Finish

239 Your Majesty

Another thing I love to buy is nail varnish! This nail varnish caught my eye because it is sparkly and sliver, and Boots have a 3 for 2 deal at the moment on Rimmel products. Im going to try this varnish out later so I will post a picture up on my Twitter account. This nail varnish cost 4.49 Euro but I got it free on the 3 for 2 deal.

Rimmel London 60 Seconds

320 Rapid Ruby

I have a few red nail varnish's but most of them dried out and this red just looks fab although it is slightly deeper than it looks in the picture. I am also going to try this out later with the silver and I will post a picture on my Twitter. This Nail Varnish came in at 4.99 Euro.

Soap & Glory Sit Tight Intense XS

Special Super - Strength Body Firming Serum

I had no intention of buying this product, but it was on sale for 5.39 Euro and was originally 20 odd Euro (cant remember the actual price) so I said I would get it and try it out on my problem areas, as it says it is for tightening the skin, which would be nice, but will it work is the question, so when I try it out for the 4 weeks I will surely do a review because I myself and interested to see if it works. If any of you have tried it please do let know what you think of this product :)

That is it for my Boots Haul, I will try have another post for you tomorrow hopefully :)
Thank you all for reading I hope you enjoyed :)

My Favourite Things!

Hey everyone its been a little while since my last post but again college work has taken over my life :(, but I have managed to get one post done. So here it is My Favourite Things, I decided to do this to tell you all a bit about myself, hope you all enjoy :)

1. Fashion Design

 *not my own photograph*

Ever since I was a youngster Iv always loved making clothes (for my barbies), so as I got older I began thinking about what I wanted to do in college, I had many options such as Video Game Development and Art but nothing caught me more than Fashion Design. I then followed through with my choice and I haven't looked back once!, I studied for two years in a PLC course and then went on to the National College Of Art and Design where I am currently studying for my degree in Fashion!

This image is of the first dress I ever made in my PLC course which was inspired by broken glass.

2. Lipsticks

Lipsticks, where do I begin! Lipsticks are my favourite part of doing my make-up, in my opinion I think lipstick just put a nice finish to your make-up and I always have to wear it or I just feel bare! 

The picture above is only my recent and most used lipsticks, as far as I know I have about another 20-30 (if not more) in my bigger make-up box, I no, I have a problem :) I have so many lipsticks because I cant stand Lipgloss, its just too sticky for me, I prefer a matte, or a slight shine.

3. Peppermint Tea

I am honestly addicted to peppermint tea! I drink at least 2-3 cups a day. I used to be a coffee drinker but I had to quit drinking it :( and now I have turned to herbal teas, but peppermint is my favourite, and as far as I know its good for you, I hope!

4. Cocktails 

 

Now I wouldn't be Irish if I didn't involve some Alcohol in my favourite things, but I am not an alcoholic I swear :L, every now and then when I go to TGI Fridays or I have a Girls Night I like to have cocktails, only 1 or 2. I love to experiment making my own but I am no TGI fridays, I think I will just leave it to the professionals!

5. Sweets

*Not my Own Image*

I have a serious sweet tooth!! I'm trying to be healthier but its hard when company's keep coming up with new chocolate bars, crisps and jellies that I just HAVE to try, its killing me!! :( But I'm trying this new thing 'Only in moderation'.....Ha like that will happen!

6. TV Shows

TV Shows are my life! I have so many shows that I just love, Teen Wolf, The Vampire Diaries and Pretty Little Liars have to be my top 3! 

Although I live in Ireland so many of my favourite shows don't air the same times as America, so here in Ireland we are usually a good few episodes behind!, but the most amazing invention called the Internet allows me to watch all my shows in American time so I am up to date with all of them :D *Happy Dance*

7. Books

I'm a huge book lover, I could open a library with the amount of books I own, I'm currently reading Vampire Diaries by L.J Smith (book 11) I LOVE these books, the story line is really good and when you start reading them you cant stop! 

My favourite book of all time is The Outsiders by S.E Hinton, it is a coming of age novel about two rival groups and is just an all round brilliant story and I would encourage everyone who loves reading to read it!

8. Call Of Duty

I am a HUGE Call Of Duty fan! I love all the games but at the moment I'm stuck into Ghosts. 

I love playing online although I haven't had the chance to play it in a while :(

9. Music

Ah my lovely old battered iPod, Music I couldn't live without! I have to travel on a train every day for college so I always have my iPod with me! At the moment I have a playlist set up for when I'm traveling to college which include, Will.i.am - feelin' Myself , Pharrell Williams - Happy, some Miley Cyrus, Guns n Roses and Bon Jovi! 

10. My Doggy

Last but not least my beautiful dog Missy!, I love her so much, she has to be the funniest dog ever! If only you could see the things she does, I suppose she is just as crazy as her owner. Definitely a girls best friend :D Quite filthy looking in this picture, well it was taken just as I told her she was going for a bath, she did not like that!

Thats it on me for now :) I hope you all enjoyed and I will try do another post as soon as possible, if you have any suggestions for posts please leave a comment and il be sure to see what I can do :)

Love
