The Shit List

Image
I often do blog posts about my favourite makeup products and all the brands I love, but I feel it's my due diligence to inform you of a few products I've been steering clear from! Who else has countless tubes, pots, palettes and what not thrown in their makeup drawers, never to be touched again? I certainely have a good few! So here's some of my favourite.....well - non favourites! Wet n' Wild Mega Impact Mascara Christ on a bike this was bad! This was given to me in a goodie bag and I was sooooo looking forward to trying it out, but I can safely say I'll never use it again. The first time I used it, I was all glammed up and my makeup was perfected for a night out with Dean. It was about two hours later when I checked myself, I could see that I had literally wrecked myself! The mascara had completely moved downwards!! It wasn't only under my eyes, it was even on my cheeks, in blotches! Like how did it even get there?!!! Crownbrush concealer palette It even look

So about that 6 week challenge....

I'm finally finished my six week challenge and have spent the whole weekend celebrating, by eating everything in sight! If you are following me on Facebook ( The Life and Style of Jen ) or on Snapchat (jenniferdevitt) you will have seen my progress throughout the weeks, but I think this picture sums it up nicely... No, I didn't lose a massive amount of weight but I've definitely lost inches and have toned up everywhere. I'm fitting into smaller clothes, I actually own size 8 clothes again, and have found myself shouting from the changing rooms of shops looking for smaller sizes. And that's exactly what I wanted to get out of this. I can't sit here and say I did everything right for the six weeks, I definitely let my diet slip more than I would have liked, but I ate extremely well 90% of the time.  I also went to the gym religiously, which of course played a big part in this. I went 4 or 5 times a week and (most of) the classes were pretty intense!  But would I r

Snapchat Favourites

Let's face it we're all hooked on Snapchat, you just can't beat creeping on someone in their natural habitat, while you're in yours! I'm an absolute addict, there's no denying it! I spend all day snapping and when I'm not snapping I'm watching other people's Snapstories. It's like being a fly on the wall, but you can get away with it because they put it out there to be seen - #winwin! So here's a few of my favourite people to creep on follow on Snapchat: 1. Sharon Leavy/ Behind Green Eyes @sharonleavy One word....hilarious. Sharon could be be snapping about paint drying and she'd somehow be able to put a funny spin on it, and she's addicted to makeup! https://www.facebook.com/MissGreenBlog?fref=photo 2. Retro Flame @retroflame1 Erika Fox from Retro Flame has it all, a fabulous figure, mermaid hair, clothes to die for and to top it all off she's living and working in New York!! Her Snaps are non stop events, weekends away to the H

Hoilday Purchases

With my big American/Canadian holiday fast approaching I was in desperate need want of some fresh outfits! Unfortunately shopping for holiday clothes in August can be a bit tricky, my options were the dregs of the sale rail or completely unsuitable (but fabulous) Autumn/Winter pieces. Although San Francisco will have a very cool sea breeze the other parts of California are currently as hot as hell! But I managed to work with what I was I was given :) The first shop I hit was Forever21, I really thought I'd be spoiled for choice here, but that was not the case! I didn't leave empty handed though, this lovely jacket was only €31.95 and it was pretty much calling my name, so I couldn't leave it behind! Perhaps not necessary for my holidays but it's extremely cosy and I'm sure I'll get plenty of wear out of it over the coming months. You can buy it  here  and I'd recommend you go for a size smaller, I bought an XS, probably the only thing in my wardrobe that si
