As you may have noticed I'm on a pink hair mission at the moment. If I may say so myself, I already have lovely blonde hair (thanks to Daniel Sheridan ) so I don't want to fuck it up  mess with it too much.  First of all I tried the L'Oreal Colorista spray in colour in Pastel Pink, you can read all about it here .  After that worked a treat, I was ready to step things up a notch so I tried the L'Oreal Colorista Washout Colour (in Pastel Pink). Now this only lasts 2-3 washes so once again nothing to dramatic. This is just a classic bottle of hair dye. Basically a tube of pink goo. I just went for it and started rubbing it into my dry hair, as per the instructions. I wanted a kind of ombre/highlights effect so didn't put it near my scalp. Twenty minutes later I rinsed it out, no shampoo or conditioner needed, and ta-dah my hair was pink. So whereas it had done exactly what it said on the box it was a lot brighter than I had hoped for, it was pink-pink rather than past

I recently received a ' ClutterBox ', which is a luxury acrylic makeup organiser, from the Irish company HerClutterBox. Upon receiving it I knew it was much better quality than similar, cheaper ones out there, based on the sheer weight of it. This organiser is seriously sturdy!  I received the four drawer version and was in my element organising it! I have seen pictures of these Clutter Boxes all over the internet so I was dying to get started on mine. I am a bit of a neat freak so already had my makeup pretty well organised, into grubby boxes from old Christmas gift sets. Not very glam. The ClutterBox is a major step up from that and not only does it look great on display, it's also easy to clean if a bit of makeup transfers onto it. So lets's get down to it, you want to know if it's worth the price. As I said I got the four drawer box which has three small drawers and a bottom drawer about twice the dept of the others. This drawer is perfect for storing palettes e

Over the weekend, for the first time ever, I went to The Irish Beauty Show.....and what an experience! As far as I know the show originally started off as a trade show but now anybody can buy a ticket and head on in to stock up on their favourite beauty bits. The RDS hall was jam packed with stands and stalls selling anything and everything beauty related. All the well known names were there including Blank Canvas, Benefit, Real Techniques, Makeup Revolution and Dermalogica...just to name a few. Now this show is not for the faint hearted as it was full to the brim of beauty enthusiasts looking for a bargain, and I of course was one of them. So here's my (mini) haul from my first Irish Beauty Show. My first purchase was these hella cute pom pom shoes, I know....not exactly beauty related, but they were a steal at €15 so I couldn't say no. The brand on the box is Nio Nio but I think they were just being sold by a general trader. Here's a link to a similar pair from eBay: http

As you may have seen, myself and Dean are now full on house hunting! I have never felt like such an adult in my life! Like how have I gone from deciding if I want an €8 Penneys top, to deciding what house I want to live in for probably the rest of my life!! This is serious pressure! We started off by looking at a local new development, just to get an idea of what this whole house hunting business is all about. We went in, ooh'ed and aah'ed over the show houses and left. We spoke to no one and asked no questions. We didn't knock on any walls or whip out the measuring tape. The houses were fabulous, of course. Lovely fluffy carpets, a sparkling kitchen and beautiful bedrooms but I have no idea about anything else! As soon as we got home the questions came flooding in, was the garden big, could we convert the attic, was there a green near by, what's the BER rating, was the furniture on display standard size (apparently they use smaller furniture to make rooms look bigger).
