My favourite budget buys

Collection Cosmetics Liquid Liner You may have noticed I'm a big fan of liquid liner, and the only one I ever use is the Fast Stroke Liquid liner from Collection Cosmetics. I always have one of these at hand and would not leave the house without it! Rimmel Lipsticks I have a about six or seven core lipsticks that I just couldn't live without, three of them being from Rimmel's Kate Moss range. I fall in love with any Kate Moss lipstick I buy, but be warned the good ones can be hard to get your hands on! They are such good quality, long lasting and come in a great range of colours. My favourites are no's 03, 45 and 107. NYX NYX....what a brand!! I have a nice little collection of their blushers and butter glosses. For me I find the blushers way better than Mac, and the butter glosses come in such a great range of colours and smell fantastic too!! Tiramisu & Crème Brulee Flormar Can you b elieve Flormar launched in Ireland less than a year ago? This Flormar primer is f

There's nothing worse then when you're so excited about a product but it does not live up to your expectations* *My expectations may have been slightly askew I 'bought' this product with my Boots points and to be honest I didn't read anything about it and assumed it was a cleanser...hence 'cleansing gel'. A cleanser it is not, it's a good old fashioned face wash, a product to be lathered with water.  It took me a few attempts of dragging the gloopy gel across my face with a cotton pad to realise this!! In all fairness the bottle doesn't give instructions on how to use it (but I probably should have known!) I was quite disappointed when I realised I bought something that I will pretty much never use! I gave up washing my face with soapy face wash about ten years ago as they are just too harsh on my skin. I tend to stick to gentle cream cleansers, oil cleansers or powder cleanser. They just suit my skin way better! So this review isn't much of a re

Last night I had a long overdue girls night out, but like most of us I had nothing to wear! So I quickly ran to Blanchardstown Shopping Centre and picked up a few new pieces. I have to say the pink sleeveless jacket was such a steal! I picked it up because the skirt was quite short so I felt I needed something to cover myself, but didn't want anything too heavy that would take away from the rest of the outfit. And it did the job perfectly! I can see this jacket being the centerpiece of my wardrobe for spring/summer as I'm already dying to wear it with so many other things in my wardrobe! It was originally €68 but on special offer for €35 !! Shop the jacket here:  http://bit.ly/1YMT7PK The skirt is €40 from River Island and comes in loads more colours as well as a longer version.

February Favourites

I was tagged by Lisa from Cuddles and Contouring to write a post on my February favourites.  So what better products to pick than the ones that are pretty much empty at this stage! Maybelline - The Blushed Nudes I picked up this palette in Canada back in September but only really put it to use around Christmas time, and now it's one of make up must haves! The colours are absolutely fabulous, super pigmented and it will only set you back €15! Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation This is my absolute favourite beauty product. It's the only foundation I can 100% rely on. It's full coverage, really long lasting with a absolutely flawless finish and perfect for normal/oily skin. Soap & Glory - Hand Food This has been a must have product for me over the winter, hence the nearly empty tube! It's a really hydrating hand cream, that smells fab without leaving your hands feeling greasy. The Body Shop - Oils of Life Intensively Revitalising Gel Cream I was devastated when this
