Happy New Year! Im not even going to address my being MIA for several months because sometimes life just takes over, and you put things on the back burner. However it is now 2016 and I for one am planning on makeup several changes to better myself and my life (cheesy I know). As you've probably guessed blogging is one of the things that I really want to get back into, love taking photos and writing posts but sometimes dedicating the time to it can be hard. I think I might change my blog a little. Don't get me wrong there will still be plenty of makeup posts but I want to include more lifestyle posts and other aspects of everyones life. Posts on travelling, food etc. posts that I would want to read.</div>

So here it goes my first post of 2016, and its going to be a mini intro to one of the game changers Ive decided for this year. Im going to go Vegan. Well majority vegan, currently Im trying to eat vegan fully during the week and then eat vegetarian but have a little cheese on the weekend (Im seriously struggling with the no cheese). I also had a Vegan Food Instagram that I started several months ago when I dabbled in Veganism but Ive reactivated it and Im posting food pics there as often as I can. Feel free to have a look <a href="https://www.instagram.com/" target="_blank">@veganlozlife</a> and follow if your a major foodie! I'm hoping to write again soon with a makeup and skincare haul, Ive gotten a few bits that I LOVE and I can't wait to share them with you! </div>

<br /></div>
I'm really loving looking at "My Day In Pictures" posts, so I'm definitely going to be featuring them more often on my blog. Monday the 26th of October was a bank holiday so my boyfriend David organised a "surprise date". So in other words he chose the location and I had no say. I don't live near the beach and the weather in Ireland isn't exactly idyllic, but we had an amazing day. We got absolutely saturated from the wind pelting rain at us at the beach and actually had to go and buy new clothes, to avoid pneumonia of course! We drove to Wexford town and went to Carne beach, if you are ever visiting Ireland I suggest making it one of your stops and the Lobster Pot for lunch is a serious must! The journey took about 4 hours return but it was totally worth it. <span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">❤</span><br />

Firstly I'd like to apologise for my absence over the past few weeks. I started college on October 12th and it was my 22nd birthday on October 15th, so with everything new starting my blog got put on the back burner a little bit. However Im back and ready for action, I'm just going to have to learn to dedicate my time a little bit better! <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'GFS Didot'; font-size: 15px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">❤</span></div>

Today in college I did this super simple Sugar Skull inspired makeup. Best of all it required only three products! I used a light shade of foundation, black pencil liner and a matte black eyeshadow, thats literally it! I'm pretty sure virtually everyone has these products already at home so it doesn't require even buying anything! I used the Estee Lauder Pure Color Black pencil liner and the Ingot matte black shadow (can't remember the number!) purely because their pigmentation is amazing. Brush wise I used a fluffy blending brush, a large flat shader and a dense blessing brush too. It took me about half an hour. Now had I have had more time and not had to go out to lunch afterwards I would have added liner to the waterline and upper lash line and added some lashes. </div>

<div>
It really just goes to show that you don't need loads of expensive special effects makeup and tools to do a nice Halloween look! What are you guys doing for Halloween this year? I will probably sit on my couch, watch a movie and eat my weight in chocolate. <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'GFS Didot'; font-size: 15px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">❤</span></div>

I am a massive foodie, so I wanted to start some sort of series where I post pictures of food I have eaten, recipes, what I eat in a day type posts etc. I was playing around with titles and I liked the Foodie Friday concept because it didn't limit me to just one type of blog post. I'm still unsure as to whether this will be a weekly or monthly fixture but we will see how it goes.</div>

Todays post is a what I ate post. These are all meals I ate while in Portugal and aside from breakfast they were all eaten in restaurants. Just as a little FYI I very rarely/ never eat meat anymore, however I do eat seafood! Please do leave me links to your favourite food related posts or if you have any ideas for this food series please do share! </div>

Now I realise this isn't exactly the worlds healthiest day of eating but then again I'm not the worlds healthiest eater either! I love seafood even more when I'm abroad and by the sea. Its always so delicious. Hopefully this will become a monthly blog fixture where I will share with you my healthy and not so healthy food obsessions. Have a lovely weekend everyone! <span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">❤</span></div>

<br /></div>
I am lucky enough to get to be in Portugal this week before I start college. The weather is actually beautiful this time of the year and its nice and quiet because its not peak tourist season. This post really should be all pictures but I said I'd share my dramatic start to the week first! We took off from Dublin airport on Monday morning and were flying to Faro airport. Now, if you live in Ireland you may have heard/ seen this on the news already but we had a bit of a problem after take off. Now, I'm a nervous flier and a self confessed drama queen when it comes to being on a plane but the noise the plane was making straight after take off was not normal. It was a vibrating whirring kind of noise but I was trying to convince myself it was normal. We were only flying about fifteen minutes and the pilot said we were turning around due to a problem with one the engines. To cut a long story short the engine later failed and was switched off, and when we landed into Dublin again the runway was lined with fire engines! Not the start to the holiday I was expecting but we did fly out later that morning and arrived safely. So here are my few of my snaps over the past few days, hope you enjoy! <span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">❤</span><br />

Packing a travel makeup bag was something I used to be dreadful at, I would end up packing a makeup suitcase. I'm travelling to Portugal on Monday the 5th of October for six days (I'm writing this on Saturday!) and I only need to bring the bare essentials with me. I feel like I have finally perfected bringing only what I actually need with me. Now because it will be a sun holiday (hopefully!) I won't be wearing too much makeup but I still want to have enough to dress up at night.</div>

As always I will link everything that I mention. I try to avoid bringing too many liquids with me because its just a nightmare at security in the airport. Although I am not of Portuguese decent, Portugal is like my second home and I visit every year at least once or twice. My family do have a home there so a lot of the basics I need are there already, but no makeup. So enough rambling, this is what is in my travel makeup bag!<br />

I like to think that my makeup bag when travelling is very minimal, I used to bring tonnes of stuff but never actually used it. When its warm and sunny wearing makeup isn't on my mind as much as usual. Plus its always nice to give your skin a bit of a break. The BB cream has an SPF in it so I can wear it during the day if I want to. I will list and link everything below! Thank you so much for reading and once my internet connection is good I will be posting some Portugal posts while I'm over there. I hope you all enjoyed your weekend and happy Monday <span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small; line-height: 18px;">❤</span><br />

<br /></div>
So once again after work today I came home and decided to paint my face. Yesterdays experimentation really gave me the confidence to try out some new things! I saw this Comic Book Character makeup somewhere on Instagram I believe, and I thought it would be pretty cool to recreate. Plus if you wore it on Halloween you could just wear a normal black outfit and you'd be all set. This literally only took about half an hour and was really easy to do. I just looked at various pictures when I was doing it but there are tutorials on Youtube if you prefer to watch videos.<br />
<br />
<br />
*Excuse the dramatic faces but the makeup didn't look quite right with your standard smile and head tilt!<br />

The main products I used to recreate this look were <a href="http://www.sammccauley.com/Product/nyx-jumbo-eye-pencil/23187/2224.17.15" target="_blank">Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencils</a> in Milk and Black Bean. I used MAC Riri Woo on my lips (dupe is <a href="http://www.brownthomas.com/lipstick/lipstick/invt/77x1832xm0n904&bklist=icat,4,brand,mac,macmakeup," target="_blank">MAC Ruby Woo</a>) and I just applied some Kiss false lashes. The products needed to create this were so minimal so its ideal if you don't have face paint or special effects products.<br />
<br />
<br />
If you try this out I would love to see pictures! What are you dressing up as this Halloween? Or are you like me and you will probably stay at home in your pjs, eat your weight in sweets and watch Hocus Pocus. Have a lovely weekend <span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 18px;">❤</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div>
Special Effects and Halloween Makeup are definitely not my strong points or area of expertise. I tend to stick with the more natural (aka human looking) makeup looks. I've watched so many tutorials on halloween looks but I've never actually tried one. I was watching <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mzZHhkRXhY" target="_blank">Nicole Guerriero's</a> newest tutorial and fell in love with what she did! So I took the plunge and tried it out. Now I didn't have half the products she used so I just did my own version. I had no cream colours so I used all powders and this is what I came up with. Now its by no means amazing but I am proud of myself for trying something new. I've really got back into my blog over the past week so I said I'd share what I attempted today and save my originally planned post for tomorrow.<br />

Doing this again I would definitely purchase cream products because the powders were super drying! I literally just used some old Sleek palettes I had lying around with a dense Real Techniques brush that came in their eye set. Then I used an old liquid liner for the black. I'm really not sure what this look is supposed to be but I think with a black top and some galaxy trousers you could pull off a futuristic look. </div>

Recently my room went to hell a little bit, by that I mean when I went to tidy it up nothing actually had a place. So I decided to gut it out and buy some new decor for my room just to jazz it up a bit. There is nothing like adding some new bedlinen, pillows and some decorative pieces just to spice things up. The colour theme in my room is grey and white (I really hate the word theme), but two of my furniture pieces (ie. my bed and wardrobe) are wooden. I will list where I got everything if I an remember. I also have two pictures of pieces that are not new, but really are the main focal points of my room and I thought they were kind of important to show so you can see how everything ties together. Hope you enjoy! <span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 18px;">❤</span></div>

These are the two pieces that are not new. I'm sure you have seen them on countless blogs and YouTube videos. They are both from Ikea. I love Audrey Hepburn (fun fact actually my middle name is Audrey!) so I was automatically drawn to this picture, its slightly grey in colour and goes perfectly with my pale grey walls. Its hung just behind my bed. This lampshade is gorgeous, it really adds something to a room. Its dramatic without being too OTT! As you can see one of the walls in my room is darker grey/ purple in colour, you can see it in the top picture. I was in Ikea recently and they still have both of these pieces. </div>

One of my favourite places to go room or home record shopping is TK Maxx (TJ Maxx in the US). They also have the most reasonable but unique pieces. I bought the white bedlinen on my bed in there and it is so soft. My boyfriend bought me this sign for my room, I absolutely love it. I have it on my desk because it looked nicer there than hanging on the wall. My wardrobe is very old, it was actually from my grandparents house. Now because most of my furniture is white I wanted to be able to tie everything together. I needed eight door knobs in total because I have a double wardrobe, and there are two drawers on the bottom. These were really reasonable at €6 for four. They are a creamy white with a vintage rusted gold design on them. No need for a new wardrobe when you can a few small things to modernise it!</div>

The next place that I bought a few bits was in Penneys aka Primark. They had loads of new homeware and I really had to try my best to not go too over the top. The two heart pillows were super cheap at only €4 each! They are made up of small tightly packed roses stitched together. They came in a baby pink and a beige colour too I believe. I bought the trio of elephants purely because they were cute, but I honestly had no idea where to put it once I got home. So I went with hanging it on my wardrobe because it was lacking the white theme that is starting to take over my room, they were about €4. The glass jar was ideal for the giant space on my windowsill. Now the only issue I'm having is what to put in it. So if you have any ideas it would be much appreciated, the jar was roughly €6 I believe. Lastly is the throw lying underneath all the products. Its white in colour with grey running through it (ideal colouring, I know) and is the softest thing I've ever felt in my life. It has a fleeced chocolate covered lining on the reverse side and was about €25.</div>

My boyfriend actually bought me these two wooden storage pieces when he went to a game fair in the UK (he knows how I feel about room decor!). I use the top one for storing my most used jewellery, which is basically my Alex & Ani bracelets and a other more bits. I have it on my windowsill, which is also whitewashed. The bottom piece is kept on my vanity. It is a slight green tinged whitewash colour. This is so perfect for keeping my most used foundations, my setting sprays and my hand cream. The little drawers are ideal for holding lip balms, bobbins, bobby pins etc. Apologies for the weird lighting on the bottom picture, the evening sun was just not co-operating. These pieces were a total bargain at £10 for the two of them! They did have a label with a brand on them but I threw them out.. OOPS...</div>

I hope this was somewhat helpful or even gave you a twincey bit of inspiration. If you have any pieces that you think I would love please leave me a link. I would also love to know what your favourite colour theme is. Also if you have any suggestions of what I could put in the jar I bought please let me know <span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 18px;">❤</span></div>

No matter how much money I spend shopping, there always seems to be something else I'm longing for. Product lust or wish list posts are some of my favourite kind to read because I love to find out what other people are wanting (plus it feeds my shopping addition!).<br />
<br />
<br />
So I've thrown together a few things that I've really been wanting this month. None of which I will probably purchase because I went a bit crazy this month and made the big switch from a PC to a Macbook Air! I've been wanting one for years and I've finally taken the plunge. I've never used a Macbook before so its going to take some serious adjusting!<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. I recently bought the Too Faced Semi Sweet Chocolate Bar Palette and to say I love it is an understatement. It has made me really really want to buy the original <a href="http://www.debenhams.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10052_10001_154614100899_-1" target="_blank">Chocolate Bar Palette</a>. I love the rich colours it has, especially the maroon and chocolate shades.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. I never really purchase perfume for myself but I am loving <a href="http://www.debenhams.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10052_10001_123235000099_-1" target="_blank">Lancome Le Vie Est Belle</a>. I work in cosmetics and I can never resist going over to the Lancome counter to smother myself in this. It has a beautiful sweet scent and I absolutely love it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. I am a sucker for limited edition products, and the <a href="http://www.brownthomas.com/mac-viva-glam-miley-cyrus/viva-glam-miley-cyrus-lipstick-limited-edition/invt/77x1832xmx5g8n" target="_blank">Miley Cyrus Viva Glam 2</a> lipstick is no exception. However if I'm going to buy it, it has to be in a colour I will wear. The first Miley Cyrus lipstick was pink and I rarely wear pink lipstick. This one is a unique orangey red lipstick, ideal for this time of the year!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. For me Autumn Winter means one thing, candles. I love seasonal candles, especially warm sweet scents. There is nothing nicer than snuggling up in bed on your computer with a candle burning in the corner. This <a href="http://www.yankeecandle.com/fragrance/vanilla-bourbon/_/N-1z1409s" target="_blank">Vanilla Bourbon Yankee Candle</a> sounds right up my street. I can't wait to give it a sniff!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. MAC Fix+ is one of my holy grail products, so as an oily skin girl I really think I'd benefit from the <a href="http://www.debenhams.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10052_10001_123932024399_-1" target="_blank">Urban Decay De-Slick Setting spray</a>. For some reason I find nothing more satisfying in the morning than setting my makeup with a spray. A spray that would control oil sounds like a match made in heaven for me!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. So the last product isn't beauty related but I thought I'd share it anyway. Upon researching and buying my Macbook I ended up looking at loads of cases and accessories. When I saw this <a href="http://www.ebay.ie/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1311.R1.TR1.TRC0.A0.H0.Xmacbook+snow+white+.TRS0&_nkw=snow+white+macbook+sticker&_sacat=0" target="_blank">Snow White Decal</a> I knew I would buy it (eventually). It is just so cool and I have never seen anyone with something like this on their computer. I will be purchasing this, pronto. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Firstly I'd like to apologise for my lack of blogging over the last two weeks (ie. zero posts). I have been sick, but being sick means lots of time for online shopping. Believe me, I did enough online shopping to last me a lifetime. I've bought loads of products and accessories for my makeup kit over the last month or so and I cant wait to share my finds with you. The biggest investment (and my personal favourite to buy) were my brushes. I did loads of research before I took the plunge, and I also got a few more brush tools along the way. I definitely will have more posts on some amazing products I have found online. Cant wait to share them with you!</div>

I've been lusting after Sigma brushes for what seems to be my entire life. Buying them in a set made the most side financially and a set really did cover all of the basics. I bought the <a href="http://www.cloud10beauty.com/sigma-bunny-essential-brush-kit-1977.html" target="_blank">Mr. Bunny Black Essential Kit</a> and the <a href="http://www.cloud10beauty.com/sigma-beauty-spa-express-brush-cleaning-glove.html" target="_blank">Beauty Spa Express Brush Cleaning Glove</a> from <a href="http://www.cloud10beauty.com/sigma-bunny-essential-brush-kit-1977.html" target="_blank">Cloud10beauty.com</a>. Their shipping was extremely quick and I also got 15% off using a discount code I found online! So I would definitely recommend looking for discount codes before you purchase. I haven't personally used the brushes yet as they are for my kit but they all feel super soft and are of amazing quality, and I have used Sigma brushes before. This set in particular are cruelty free and vegan. My brushes do have a blue ring around the bottom, this was painted on by me just to differentiate them between everyone elses! </div>

The Mr. Bunny Black Essential Kit comes with twelve brushes and a brush holder. It consists of five face brushes and seven eye brushes. All of which are listed on the site <a href="http://www.cloud10beauty.com/sigma-bunny-essential-brush-kit-1977.html" target="_blank">here</a>. I love the brush cup (which you can also buy separately), its ideal for holding your brushes when doing someone elses makeup and also for traveling. I have also yet to use the brush cleaning glove but anything that makes brush cleaning quicker is an A+ in my book! It has loads of different ridges and designs for different sizes and types of brushes.</div>

<a href="https://www.zoeva-shop.de/" target="_blank">Zoeva</a> has been seriously growing in popularity over the past few years and I was dying to try some of their products. Their brushes are sold on several Irish websites but I really wanted to purchase their brush belt. So I went ahead and bought them off their German website. At first I thought shipping was a little pricey at €7.50 but after my delightful experience with them I'd pay it again. My products were packaged beautifully and delivered really quickly. I bought the Zoeva<a href="https://www.zoeva-shop.de/makeup-brush-belt/a-8000345/" target="_blank"> brush belt</a>, <a href="https://www.zoeva-shop.de/330-lip-contour/a-8000145/" target="_blank">lip brush</a> and <a href="https://www.zoeva-shop.de/122-petit-stippling/a-8000114/" target="_blank">small stippling brush</a>. They have a really good price point with loads of variety of products on their site.</div>

Last but not least is my favourite spot brush cleaner ever. It is extremely similar to the MAC brush cleanser but this one features a spray top, which is a serious bonus. The <a href="http://www.boots.ie/en/Estee-Lauder-Makeup-Brush-Cleaner-235ml_14309/" target="_blank">Estee Lauder Brush Cleanser</a> is ideal for on the spot cleaning of your brushes when you don't have time to full blown wash them. Its not that expensive either, but will save you loads of time, money and avoid you needing to carry too many brushes.<br />

Two songs were way over played in my car this month. One is a new single and the other is extremely old school. Little Mix Black Magic and Avril Lavinge Here's to Never Growing Up. I honestly don't know how I ended up listening to Avril Lavinge again, but I LOVE it. </div>

Ribena is my all time favourite drink (no I'm not five) and I've drank more this month than I care to admit. Cadburys also launched a new Marvellous Creation bar in Ireland. It is Rocky Mallow Road flavoured and it is heaven in a chocolate bar, you have to taste it!</div>

Words cannot describe my love for it. I have a first impressions of it <a href="http://frame.bloglovin.com/?post=4451138971&blog=14281449" target="_blank">here</a>. This is the first month in a long time I have worn the same scent everyday, but this fragrance does the job for both day and night. Its very unique too, it has a creamy vanilla mixed with roses scent. This one is definitely worth a sniff or if your impulsive like me, you'll buy it. </div>

Up until the past few months I had yet to find my holy grail concealer. I wanted something really brightening and light in colour, with good coverage and didn't crease. This was way harder to find than I was expecting. Then on a whim I decided to try the <a href="http://www.debenhams.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10052_10001_123932039699_-1" target="_blank">Urban Decay Naked Concealer</a> out. I got it in the lightest shade which is Fair Neutral and it is the most amazing under eye concealer ever! It is too light to use anywhere else on my face but It looks flawless under my eyes and just around my nose. </div>

The <a href="http://www.debenhams.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10052_10001_154614108299_-1" target="_blank">Too Faced Semi Sweet Chocolate Bar Palette</a> has also basically been featured on my face all month. The smell of chocolate when I open this palette makes me want to eat it. It has such a versatile range of colours and I especially love Peanut Butter. I also have a first impression and a look I created with this palette <a href="http://frame.bloglovin.com/?post=4483515092&blog=14281449" target="_blank">here</a>. I will definitely be bringing this traveling with me next month as the colour range really does cover all bases. </div>

My last monthly favourites featured<a href="http://www.brownthomas.com/cleansers+toners/sized-to-go-prep-+-prime-fix-+/invt/77x1832xmxh301" target="_blank"> MACs Fix+</a> too. However I ran out at the end of the month and went to MAC to get another. When I was there the girl said that they had come out with a range of scented Fix+, however the only scents they had left were Yuzu and Rose. My toner is rose scented so that one didn't really interest me but to be honest I didn't know what Yuzu was. But of course I bought into the gimmick anyway and I'm so glad I did. Scent aside this Fix+ seems way more moisturing! I now spritz it on after washing my face and it instantly re-hydrates my skin. I also still use it as a setting spray for my makeup. In terms of Yuzu I had to google what it was. It is a citrus fruit and plant originating in East Asia. I really love this version of Fix+ and I hope they make the range permanent! (I really want the coconut one!) I cant find the exact product online but they should definitely still have some available in store! </div>

Last but not least is my favourite bronzer in the whole world! I saw a few YouTubers and Bloggers talk about this product so I bought it a few months ago. <a href="http://www.brownthomas.com/mineralize-skinfinish-natural/invt/77x1832xmt7e010000&bklist=icat,4,brand,mac,macmakeup," target="_blank">MAC Give Me Sun!</a> is an MSF like no other. It gives that natural sun kissed bronzed look to the skin. Its not matte but has zero shimmer. It gives a sheen/ glow that looks so naturally beautiful. I have never owned or used a bronzer anything like this one! I can almost guarantee it will be a holy grail product for you too.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
As always please share with me your favourites of the month, I love hearing about amazing products I have yet to try! I hope you all had an amazing August and here's to a fabulous September <3<br />

I went a little spending crazy on the websites <a href="http://www.beautybay.com/">BeautyBay.com</a> and
<a href="http://www.feelunique.com/" target="_blank">FeelUnique.com</a> last Friday. I had seen several YouTube videos featuring
these websites but not too many blog posts. I was automatically drawn to
them because they sell products that are either not available in Ireland
or are difficult to find. I was so overwhelmed by the amount of brands
to choose from on both sites and I was also a little nervous spending my
money on a site that I didn't know too much about. So here is what I
got from both online stores and what I thought of their service :)<br />

So I went a bit YouTuber product crazy. I bought some <a href="http://www.feelunique.com/brands/zoella-beauty">Zoella Beauty</a> a
while back and really wanted to get some of her makeup bags. I'm going
to use the smaller one for a pencil case when I go back to college and
the other one for cosmetics. They are both really good quality. I also
got some <a href="http://www.feelunique.com/brands/tanya-burr/false-lashes">Tanya Burr</a> lashes, these were on sale and exactly the style I
wanted. I've yet to try them out but they have the clear band and doll
eyed look that I love. Lastly I got Mary-Lou Manizer from <a href="http://www.feelunique.com/brands/thebalm">TheBalm</a>. I
literally bought this because I've heard about it so much on online and it looks
BEA-utiful.
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
I
placed the order on Friday the 21st of August and received my package
on Wednesday the 26th, so it came really quickly considering two of
those days were the weekend. Navigating their site was really easy and
checking out was quick and simple. The only issue was I was charged €15
for customs when my package was delivered. FeelUnique is a UK website
and I live in Ireland, so I shouldn't have been charged customs at all. I wasn't the one who signed for my package but I'm going to have to look
into that! Over all they were brilliant and apart from the extra charge
issue I'd definitely shop with them again.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
There were so many brands on BeautyBay that are not available in store in Ireland. I really had to limit my purchases, I decided I would order more if I liked their service. So I bought the <a href="http://www.beautybay.com/anastasiabeverlyhills/">Anastasia Beverly Hills</a> Contour Kit in light/medium and the Pro Beauty Blender! I bought the contour palette for my makeup kit as I really dont want to carry around loads of individual pots and products, plus this palette has had amazing reviews. As for the famous <a href="http://www.beautybay.com/beautyblender/">Beauty Blender</a>, I've been using the <a href="http://www.boots.ie/en/Real-Techniques/">Real Techniques</a> sponge for some time now and I love it! So I decided to take the plunge and spend nearly 20 quid on a sponge *sigh*, why do I do this to myself. I have to say though I'm super excited to try it!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I ordered from BeautyBay on Friday the 21st of August and recieved it today, Thursday the 27th of August. So again I was impressed with their super fast delivery. I had no problems using their site, checking out, delivery etc. So I'm already planning my next shopping spree with them, I love their site!!</div>

A huge amount of cosmetic companies today are cruelty free, however many of the leading makeup brands do test their products on animals. By no means am I saying that all the makeup products that I buy or use are cruelty free but as of the last few weeks I'm trying to make more informed decisions when buying cosmetics, because in reality a bunny rabbit shouldn't have to pay for me wanting to wear eyeliner. A lot of companies may not directly test on animals but their suppliers might, so technically those brands are not cruelty free. I'm going to list my favourite cruelty free cosmetic brands below and a link to their site or to PETA's where they state their products are cruelty free. I'm aware that there are many more brands that don't test on animals but there are too many to list, so I'm just going to reference my favourites. <br />
<br />
Before I start some of these cosmetic companies parent companies are not cruelty free, but I will let you know that in each case. All of the information I'm going to list I have found online. It is your own decision whether you want to shop cruelty free (all of my cosmetics are not). Each brand name is clickable and will lead you to area of the site where their animal testing ethos is explained.<br />

<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.urbandecay.com/commitments/commitments.html" target="_blank">Urban Decay:</a> I was so happy to see that Urban Decays products are cruelty free. I absolutely love their eyeshadows, eyeliners, concealers etc. Its such a popular and well known brand and cruelty free! However Urban Decay is owned by L'Oreal, their parent company is not cruelty free. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.toofaced.com/faq/" target="_blank">Too Faced:</a> Having only recently launched in Ireland, their popularity is really growing in Europe. Their products are fabulous and their brushes are made from 100% Teddy Bear Hair!<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.thebalm.com/" target="_blank">TheBalm:</a> I'm not going to lie I haven't tried many products from TheBalm, however I love the products I do own and there is an order on the way to my house *eek*. If you look at the very bottom of their website you can see they are listed as cruelty free.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://features.peta.org/cruelty-free-company-search/cruelty_free_companies_company.aspx?Com_Id=751&Donottest=8&Product=0&Dotest=-1&RegChange=-1&Country=-1&Keyword=" target="_blank">Smashbox:</a> Famous for their primers Smashbox cosmetics is listed as cruelty free. However their parent company Estee Lauder do test on animals because like many other brands they sell to the Chinese market.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/article/animal-testing-our-policy" target="_blank">Lush:</a> Bath bombs, soaps, bubble bars etc. are all cruelty free. Lush don't test on animals and don't buy products from suppliers that test on animals either. <br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.makeupgeek.com/makeup-geek-cruelty-free-and-vegan-info/" target="_blank">Makeup Geek:</a> All of Makeup Geeks products and ingredients are cruelty free. Most of their products are vegan too, apart from several products listed on their site that contain Carmine.<br />

<br />
<a href="http://features.peta.org/cruelty-free-company-search/cruelty_free_companies_company.aspx?Com_Id=307" target="_blank">ELF Cosmetics:</a> Super affordable, brilliant quality and cruelty free! However I'm pretty sure there are some issues with ELF's UK website that also ships to Ireland. Not sure what is going on.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://features.peta.org/cruelty-free-company-search/cruelty_free_companies_company.aspx?Com_Id=2787" target="_blank">Gosh:</a> Although this company seems to be fading in terms of popularity they do have a really good selection of makeup products. I used to love Gosh so much, and they are listed as cruelty free.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.nyxcosmetics.com/faqs.html" target="_blank">NYX:</a> I have fallen head over heels in love with NYX products since they started selling them in my local pharmacy and online in Ireland. The price point and quality are amazing!<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.barrym.com/cruelty-free" target="_blank">Barry M:</a> I love Barry M dazzle dusts and their nail polishes. They are pretty affordable and have a huge range of colours.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.soapandglory.com/faqs/" target="_blank">Soap & Glory:</a> I'm a little hesitant about putting this company on my list because although they do not test on animals they cannot 100% guarantee that their ingredients haven't been. However they do have a list of vegan products listed on their site. <br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.thebodyshop.com/values/AgainstAnimalTesting.aspx" target="_blank">The Body Shop:</a> Their parent company is Loreal which does unfortunately test on animals. However the Body Shop are cruelty free, they have a very passionate article about being cruelty free on their site. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.sigmabeauty.com/search?query=mr+bunny" target="_blank">Sigma: </a>I'm aware that not all Sigma brushes are cruelty free however they do sell amazing vegan brushes that are, and they are definitely worth checking out!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm hoping this was helpful to some of you. If I have left out any major companies please leave them in the comments (writing them all out would take years :P). Again I don't shop 100% cruelty free by any means but I will definitely be trying to buy more from these cruelty free brands rather than those that test on animals in the future. <br />

I'm definitely a spur of the moment purchaser. If your product has eye catching packaging or a cute name I'm automatically drawn to it, and unfortunately for my bank account I'll probably also buy it too. This was one of those products that I wasn't looking for, hadn't researched but just found on the shelf of Boots. Its full title is the <a href="http://www.boots.ie/en/Soap-Glory%C2%99-Face-Massage-Mini-Mitt_1228811/">Soap & Glory Face Massage Mini Mitt</a>. It is advertised as a face massage type product which I guess it is but I prefer to use it for something else. This product claims to increase blood flow to your face which will improve the appearance of your skin.<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now I'm not one to massage my face (lets be honest, who does?). I'm partial to the odd facial but that's as far as my face massaging goes. However when I remove my makeup I like my face to feel really clean afterwards, with not a shred of makeup left on it. The only thing is my skin doesn't like exfoliators, brushes etc. I get a horrible red rash whenever I use them. If your anything like me, you are going to LOVE this product.</div>

The picture doesn't do the product justice because it looks like its made from the same plastic as a comb. Hand on my heart this is the softest rubber I have ever felt, super soft and really comfortable to rub on your skin. You can have a feel in the shop as the little rubber pieces are exposed in the packaging. I bought it because I thought if I added a blob of cleanser to the top then this would be the ideal makeup remover, and it was!<br>
<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOkNARztoX2eJwqtxUnvDO_iJ7COFJ2kZwJoFAE_7vgBgZSJL6dpigSQHYiMPixoO0lweFybHfFn07H-5qEl-qJMWA0BLf4-nPwM093TSImlsf1ceSLrO4D1jdc5WqQp41tthYpfpQcasJ/s1600/IMG_3992.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOkNARztoX2eJwqtxUnvDO_iJ7COFJ2kZwJoFAE_7vgBgZSJL6dpigSQHYiMPixoO0lweFybHfFn07H-5qEl-qJMWA0BLf4-nPwM093TSImlsf1ceSLrO4D1jdc5WqQp41tthYpfpQcasJ/s640/IMG_3992.JPG" width="640"></a></div>
<br>
<br>
I mainly use the area with the longer rubber pieces but there is also a flatter area that really does give a lovely massage. I'm finding it difficult to explain the softness of this tool because the picture doesn't really do it justice. I think a gel foaming cleanser would work the best with this, I've been using my <a href="http://www.boots.ie/en/Estee-Lauder-Perfectly-Clean-Multi-Action-Gelee-Refiner_1319704/">Estee Lauder Gelee Face Wash</a> and these two are a match made in skincare heaven. This little tool also has a handle type thing on the back that I place between my middle and ring fingers. This gives the perfect grip and allows you to remove your makeup (and massage your face) with ease.<br>
<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9eboiOaoMBsM7Q1EIaEBw9iDJbN3mWgutlQz-UkotHojvnzJXQN8dVnqkQxV79v1FEotJMEvDWgpdPxDfEeWz6VmsO5qYddaAyh5lXQnqA9Oz1YctI_FCctaxucs1POVJ7iwozC5Vg3Ci/s1600/IMG_3993.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9eboiOaoMBsM7Q1EIaEBw9iDJbN3mWgutlQz-UkotHojvnzJXQN8dVnqkQxV79v1FEotJMEvDWgpdPxDfEeWz6VmsO5qYddaAyh5lXQnqA9Oz1YctI_FCctaxucs1POVJ7iwozC5Vg3Ci/s640/IMG_3993.JPG" width="640"></a></div>
<br>
<br>
So essentially your getting two benefits from using one tool, you'll have increased blood flow to your face making it more beautiful than it already is, and it removes your makeup with ease. You could definitely use this in the morning as well, I think it would really wake up your skin and give it some life. I feel like I've told everyone and their mother this past week about this product but its amazing! I will definitely be featuring it in this months favourites. The device is also super flexible and bendy, as are the little rubber extensions. So you really can get into every groove of your face and make sure your skin is squeaky clean before you leave the shower.<br>

<br>
<br>
So if your the kind of girl that has sensitive skin, wanted to use face brushes but were too scared? Definitely give it a go. It really cheap too, mine was only €5.49 in <a href="http://www.boots.ie/en/Soap-Glory%C2%99-Face-Massage-Mini-Mitt_1228811/">Boots</a>. And if you don't believe me about its softness, have a feel of one next time you pass Soap and Glory... You wont be disappointed! <3<br>

So I was strolling around Penneys (Primark) the other day and nearly passed out when I spotted some Zoella beauty in their cosmetic section. Now as far as I am aware Zoella beauty is not available in store to purchase anywhere in Ireland but is available on <a href="http://www.feelunique.com/brands/zoella-beauty">feelunique.com</a>. Naturally I had to pick up something from her range when I was there and give it a try. I was actually really excited when I saw her products as I was totally not expecting to see them in Penneys. This is her older collection but it was all that was available, and these were the only two products in store. They were €6 each, which is not too bad :)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.feelunique.com/p/Zoella-Beauty-Fresh-Fizz-Bar-Fragranced-Bath-Fizzer-200g">Fizz Bar:</a> So this is basically a bath bomb divided up like a chocolate bar, so you break off a piece each time you want to use it. There are six large squares in each bar. I'm not sure what type of scent I was expecting from Zoella but this is definitely not it. However I absolutely LOVE it, the scent reminds me somewhat of the Michael Kors Jasmine fragrance. When I opened the packing the scent hit me immediately. It fizzed well in my bath however it did fizz out very quickly. I was tempted to throw another square in but I resisted the temptation (I didn't want to waste it :P). Another thing I loved is that it gave my bathroom a gorgeous perfumed scent which was amazing. Overall I was so impressed with this product and will defintely buy it again when I use it up.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.feelunique.com/p/Zoella-Beauty-Soak-Opera-Bath-Soak-Shower-Cream-490ml">Soak Opera:</a> This is a bath soak and shower cream. It has the same scent as the fizz bar but much much lighter in intensity. It lathers up really nicely with a loofah and the scent does intensify once it starts to lather properly. It has such a creamy texture and is really moisturising, it definitely wont dry your skin out. If you like a really strongly scented body wash this probably isn't for you, but I prefer a lather and soft scent because too much fragrance can irritate my skin.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm actually really impressed with Zoella's beauty line. So much so that I'm browsing online for what I'm going to buy next, those makeup bags are calling my name!! Essentially you are buying the products for Zoella's name, but I'm all about supporting YouTubers. Lastly I forgot to mention the packaging, I love it! Really cute pastel colours with splashes of neon and rose gold writing. If you love Zoella then you really need to try these out! <3<br />

<br />
This morning I picked up the Too Faced Semi Sweet Chocolate Bar Palette, god that name is a mouthful. As some of you may know Too Faced Cosmetics has just launched in Ireland in the last few weeks *rejoice*. Although its only a tiny cardboard stand in the middle of Debenhams cosmetic halls it has caused quite a stir. Now the amount of products in store is quite limited but there are waaay more products available online at <a href="http://www.debenhams.ie/beauty/too-faced">debenhams.ie</a>. I was going in to buy the original chocolate bar palette but when I spotted the three Semi Sweet palettes to the back of the stand I honestly had palpitations. Too Faced has been so raved about so much online in the Blogging and YouTube communities so when I heard they were coming here I was super excited, but also expecting a lot from their products. So I rushed home and put it straight on my face just so I could do a first impression!<br />

<br />
<br />
I love the pancaking of this product, its quite similar to Naked 3. This is product does contain Cocoa in its ingredients and oh my god it smells delicious. I'm also really impressed with the pan size of the shadows because they are really big, and the large highlight shades are an amazing idea. I also love the colour names! So my first impression appearance wise was that I loved it, and its the first eyeshadow palette I own that smells like it is edible.<br />
<br />
In terms of the application the shadows are so smooth and buttery while not compromising on the pigmentation at all. You really could create so many different looks for day and night. I also liked the diversity of cool and warm toned shades. I did use a primer when applying these shades and that was MAC's Painterly Paintpot. The shadows all blended beautifully and I really didn't need to build up the colour too much because of how pigmented they were. I bought the palette for €47 ($52) at Debenhams which is right around the price of the Urban Decay Naked palettes.<br />

<br />
<br />
The shades I used from the palette were Licorice, Coconut Creme, Truffled, Peanut Butter, Blueberry Swirl, Mousse, Caramel and Butter Pecan. So I feel for a first impression I really got to use a good variety of the shadows in this look. The standout colours for me were Peanut Butter, Blueberry Swirl and Caramel. This was mainly because I don't have many if any shades like these in my collection. I'm so impressed with this palette and I will DEFINITELY be picking up the original palette (and of course all the melted lipsticks ;) So if you haven't already got this, you need it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Just in-case you were wondering I'm wearing Rimmel's Tiramisu lip liner and MAC Hue lipstick. My brows do need to be tamed but I'm wearing MAC's Dipdown gel liner in them. Foundation is L'Oreal true match and I'm wearing the Kiss Lashes in Diva 02. If you haven't tried these lashes you really should. I'm usually an Ardell Demi Wispie girl but at €7+ a pop they aren't always realistic to be wearing. These have the clear band I love and cost only €3.50. I got mine in Penneys (Primark).<br />

We all have those days and moments when we really need a product to save our souls. That may sound dramatic but when you have greasy hair and your skin looks like crap, yet you have woken up 10 minutes before you are supposed to leave for work? Yes you need help. I'm going to share with you products that save me on a daily and weekly basis. Excuse the random picture above but I saw pretty flowers, photographed them and wanted to display them somewhere....<br />

My hair saviours are really basic. I'll just give some hair background before I begin; I have long hair that is naturally brown in colour but I have highlighted it for the past six years. So my natural hair is oily but because of the chemical damage the ends are a lot drier. Lets begin..<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.boots.ie/en/Batiste-Oriental-Dry-Shampoo-200ml_1385035/" target="_blank">Batiste Dry Shampoo:</a> Is my holy grail couldn't live without ever hair product. Batiste saves me several times a week. I try not to wash my hair more than 2-3 times a week because I don't want to dry it out. I'm also fond of my sleep so I wake up really last minute, and if my hair gets greasy overnight I don't always have time to shampoo it. Plus its like perfume for your hair. If your lazy, you need Batiste.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.feelunique.com/p/LOreal-Professionnel-Mythic-Oil-125ml" target="_blank">L'Oreal Mythic Oil:</a> This saves my hair when its the opposite to above. This makes my hair feel sooo soft. I put a few pumps in my hair after I've washed it and combed it through. It really nourishes and softens my hair. I've tried so many things and this is the only thing that stops my hair from drying out and makes it feel unbelievably soft.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.boots.ie/en/Tangle-Teezer-Original-Plum-Delicious_1189454/" target="_blank">Tangle Teezer:</a> Long hair = tangly hair. Its inevitable and brushing my hair used to lead to half of it coming out and serious breakage. I read rave reviews on this product but I though it was so expensive for a comb. I would buy this 100 times over now because it makes brushing my hair so much less painful, reduces the breakage and barely any hair comes out.<br />
<br />
<br />
Bobby pins, bobbins and those hair grip things are always in my handbag. If I decide to wear my hair down and it annoys me I hate not having the option to tie it up. I wear my hair up majority of the time and bobby pins save me daily too, especially when a random piece of hair decided to evacuate my pony tail.<br />
<br />

<br />
So as I said before I all too often wake up way to late to do a full face of makeup. I have combination/ oily skin and even if I'm running super late I do prefer to wear something on my face.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.boots.ie/en/Garnier-BB-Cream-Oil-Free-Medium-50ml_1262027/" target="_blank">Garnier BB Cream:</a> This makeup is zero effort. With a brush or your fingers you can throw it on in two minutes. It always gives such an even finish and is so easy to blend. It gives the perfect amount of coverge really quick and easy.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.brownthomas.com/mascara/pro-longwear-waterproof-brow-set/invt/77x1832xmmry01" target="_blank">MAC Brow Gel:</a> Lets face it unless you have gorgeous full brows you need a little help. Tinted brow gel gives your brows an instant lift and makes them appear more full in a minute. Perfect for preventing a bald brow day. Its also amazing for touch ups when your out and you seem to have lost half your eyebrow, its a saviour.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.boots.ie/en/Sleek-MakeUp-Blush_1395726/" target="_blank">Sleek Blush In Rose Gold:</a> This blush adds colour to your face but also a highlight. It just brightens up your face and adds more dimension in seconds.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.boots.ie/en/Maybelline-Matte-Maker-Mattifying-Powder_1427504/" target="_blank">Maybelline Matte Maker:</a> If your like me and look in the mirror half way through day and an oily monster stares back, you'd hope to have mattifying powder in your handbag. I never go anywhere without my powder, and if I do it usually ends in a (shiny) disaster. <br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.brownthomas.com/cleansers+toners/sized-to-go-prep-+-prime-fix-+/invt/77x1832xmxh301" target="_blank">MAC Fix+:</a> When your in a rush and you throw on your makeup, but youve caked that powder on? Fix+ will sort you out in a spray. Ideal for sorting that cakey look without having to take all your makup off. Its also great for refreshing your makeup in a hurry, the travel size is ideal for your makeup bag and can really help refresh your makeup when your out.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.boots.ie/en/Vaseline-Lip-Therapy-Rosy-Lips-20g_984802/" target="_blank">Tinted Rose Vaseline:</a> Vaseline is and has always been my favourite lip balm. If you leave one in your handbag it will add instant colour to your lips when you either don't have time for lipstick, or it has worn off. This is a handbag staple for me that can really bring my look back to life throughout the day. Plus it stops that dry, chapped lip look that no one likes.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
What are your hair and makeup products that help you out of possible disasters and save you time? I'm always on the hunt for products that will save me when I'm stuck as I love to have a quick fix to hand! Most of these makeup products aside from the bb cream end up in my makeup bag as they are ideal for touchups too <3<br />

In terms of jewellery I'm generally very minimal. I don't buy it very often, and to be honest most of my jewellery was given as gifts. When I do decide to put some on I like to keep it simple. I prefer gold but I do like to mix metals and add some silver in there. All the pictures I'm going to show are my go to staple pieces. I will link websites where possible but I'll definitely let you know where I bought it and you'll be able to get something similar on their site. Hope you enjoy :) </div>

I love these dainty bracelets. I bought them in H&M and there was about three or four in a pack. They were only €7/€8 too! These are ideal for stacking with other bracelets or you can wear them by themselves for something really simple. I absolutely love this type of design. If you have a childsized wrist like me these will still fit you perfectly! I have found a similar design <a href="http://www.hm.com/ie/product/30032?article=30032-A" target="_blank">here.</a> <br />

I love <a href="http://www.kilkennyshop.com/brands/alex-and-ani.html" target="_blank">Alex & Ani</a> bracelets. I was so late jumping on the bandwagon with these, I only got them about 2 months ago but I honestly have been wearing them so often. I have the letter design, the starfish and the compass. These definitely look best when they are stacked together, they are also gorgeous when you mix the different coloured metals together. They are so simple and effortless to wear, loooove them.<br />

I got this Guess watch for my 19th birthday from my parents. Its gold with a few diamantes on it and has a leather strap. The leather strap has a subtle animal print with gold threading. I find it so hard to find watches that fit me because I have a ridiculously small wrist. So this was ideal because I could punch extra holes in it. This design isnt available anymore but there are similar designs on the <a href="http://www.littlewoodsireland.ie/guess/e/b/4294959803.end" target="_blank">Guess</a> website. This watch is one of the few things I wear almost everyday. It goes with virtually all my other jewellery and I'm in love with it.<br />

<br />
These two rings are the only jewellery I wear every day without fail. I never take them off. I don't wear them both on the same finger I just have them like this to show them to you. I actually wear the branch shaped one on the same finger on my other hand, and its not a midi ring its just a normal one. They are both from Pandora and I got the heart ring from my boyfriend and the branch ring from my parents. I generally forget I'm wearing them because they never come off. They are silver but I really like how they mix with the gold jewellery. The branch ring actually has one gold coloured leaf. I have found a similar <a href="http://www.pandora.net/en-ie/explore/products/rings/190922" target="_blank">branch ring</a> on their website and this is the exact <a href="http://www.pandora.net/en-ie/explore/products/rings/190877CZ" target="_blank">heart ring</a>. These rings have worn so well considering I never take them off. They havent tarnished at all and still look brand new.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
If you have any jewellery suggestions for me I'd love if you've leave me a link. I'd like to expand my collection a little more and start experimenting and wearing more jewellery <3<br />

<br />
So I decided to do a sort of tag post about my tattoos and piercings. I'm not going to follow any set questions I'm just going to talk to you about what I have. I'm so nosy and love reading more personal posts about bloggers lives, I especially LOVE tattoo and piercing posts/ videos.<br />
<br />
I feel like tattoos are like permanent accessories (and piercings to some extent) and some people have the most beautiful art on their bodies. They people feel as beautiful as applying makeup every morning does for some. I understand tattoos and piercing are not for everyone so if you don't like them feel free to read my other beauty related posts :)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>Piercings:</u></b><br />
My piercings are very minimal. As I'm writing this I've just remembered I don't have a picture of my bellybutton piercing included (oops) but its pretty self explanatory. I have my lobes pierced but to be honest I rarely wear earrings in them.<br />
<br />
I have my tragus pierced for about three years now and I absolutely love it! I'm not going to lie it hurt so badly when I got it pierced, my jaw for some reason ached for so long afterwards. However it healed super quickly. I know a lot of people have had issues with this piercing rejecting but I haven't thank god! I change the jewellery occasionally but right now its just a plain silver labret stud. My second ear piercing is my forward helix. I had my helix pierced before with a gun but it rejected, so about two months ago I got this piercing done. It still hasn't healed but I found it wasn't a painful piercing at all! I got all of my piercings now done with a needle. (left: forward helix, right: tragus)<br />

<u><b>Tattoos: </b></u></div>
Generally
peoples tattoos have a personal meaning to them, that's why my blood
boils when people post rude comments about other peoples bodies! That
aside I have four tattoos in total. I had my first at 19 and I am now 21
years old. All of them are in black and all the pictures I'm posting are from my instagram (<a href="https://instagram.com/laurenaudreyc/" target="_blank">@laurenaudreyc</a>) hence all the different lighting, colours, editing etc.<br />
<br />
My first tattoo was on my ribs on my left hand side. It has a heart, an ECG symbol and the word Faith. I did see this tattoo on tumblr but it fit the meaning I wanted so perfectly. The heart stands for good times in your life, the ECG symbol stands for bad times and the word faith is at the end. So the heart is for the good times in life. The ECG is for the bad times, when I was 11 I went into respiratory arrest, was paralysed and unable breathe but I remained conscious. Without going into too much detail it was post minor surgery and a life changing moment, and I have suffered with panic attacks and anxiety since. The word Faith is in my Mums handwriting. The poem "Doubt sees the obstacles faith sees the way" talks basically about how even bad times in life can become good times if you have faith in yourself and others.<br />

Next I got the infinity symbol on my left inner wrist. Its really small but I love it. I got it with my best friend since childhood and it means forever. I then got a tattoo on my right forearm on the side. Its an arrow and I got it when I went to Australia on holiday last Christmas. If you click <a href="https://instagram.com/p/xOxb9RAC5E/" target="_blank">here</a> you will see the paragraph on have written on Instagram explaining this ones meaning. The only problem with this placement is unless my arm is down perfectly straight the position of it always moves and it can look crooked. </div>

My most recent tattoo is a quote on my left inner foot, it says "Somewhere over the rainbow". When I was younger I would ask where my grandparents had gone after they passed away and my Mum used to say they were somewhere over the rainbow. A very close family member of mine passed away very suddenly this year and at her mass they played this song. So this tattoo has so much meaning behind it and I absolutely love it. Excuse the picture but taking a pretty picture of a foot isn't the easiest thing to do!<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So the end of July has come and gone, much quicker than expected! Now we are coming to the end of the summer, even though the Irish summer ended after the three days of sunshine we got. So I'm going to share with you my monthly favourites for July. I have a few different bits and pieces from each catagory but I'm going to throw them all together in one post, Enjoy! </div>

<u><b>Beauty Favourites: </b></u></div>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.boots.ie/en/Rimmel-London-WonderFull-Extreme-Black-Mascara_1539310/" target="_blank">Rimmel Wonder'full</a> mascara is amazing. It is infused with argan oil and has a gorgeous formula. The first few times I just loved how it made my lashes look but my lashes have become so soft and silky when I'm not wearing it. LOVE, I have a <a href="http://velvetteddys.blogspot.ie/2015/07/wonderfull-vs-wake-me-up.html" target="_blank">review</a> of it previously on my blog.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.brownthomas.com/eyeliner/fluidline/invt/77x1832xm5f3" target="_blank">MAC Dipdown Gel Liner</a> and <a href="http://www.brownthomas.com/brushes/208-angled-brow-brush/invt/77x1832xm45j" target="_blank">208 Brush</a> have been my holy grail brow products. This brush and product have given me really crisp defined brows that last all day, seriously the best brow products I've ever used.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.brownthomas.com/solutions/prep+prime-fix+-100ml/invt/77x1832xmw5k01" target="_blank">MAC Fix+</a> is such a multi functional product. Mine is nearly empty and I've used it more than ever this month. I have to use powder to set my face because of my oily skin, this really helps to get rid of the really powdery look. Its also amazing for use on your brush to intensify shadows, on your beauty blender etc!</li>
<li>Another favourite is the MAC High Light powder in Freshen Up. It is from the Wash & Dry collection that came out this summer. I love to wear peach/ coral blush. This is the perfect highlight to complement it. It gives a beautiful coral sheen to the cheek, you can make it as natural or as intense as you like depending on what colour you focus on when applying. I'm pretty sure you cant still buy this online unfortunately. </li>
</ul>

<u><b>Fashion Favourite:</b></u> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I can say I have worn these sunglasses virtually everyday this month. Excuse the blurring on the lenses but I there was an extremely unattractive looking reflection in them! These are the Ray Ban Round Icon I believe. They are super comfortable and have a really vintage feel. I love sunglasses, I seriously cannot drive without them. These are really good at blocking out the sun (duh) while being comfy and stylish all at once.</div>

I become quite addicted to them, I love nothing more than sitting in my bed and watching Netflix all day. My current Netflix favourites are Orange Is the New Black Season 3 and Louis Theroux Documentaries. T.V favourite is Bones. I've been at home sick from work all week and have watched telly/ netflix all day everyday, simple as. </div>

I was lucky enough to see them last weekend together in Croke Park. If youve never heard of Kodaline I recommend checking out the songs <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieQ0w_gzS0U" target="_blank">All I Want</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4povfmX144" target="_blank">High Hopes</a>, they are an Irish band and I know you'll love them.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br />
Like almost every other woman and blogger I seem to have a constant list of products that I lust after. Not matter how much I buy, there always seems to be something else! So here are the current products that I'm convinced I need :) If you have any of the above products please let me know what you think of them! Payday is just around the corner, and you all know what that mean.. SHOPPING.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. <a href="http://www.brownthomas.com/jo-malone-london/pomegranate-noir-home-candle-200g/invt/81x1814xl10h" target="_blank">Joe Malone Pomegranate Noir Candle</a>: My Mum has this scent in a perfume. I think it would be the perfect candle scent for the end of summer/ start of Autumn. Plus everything Joe Malone is beautiful. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. The <a href="https://www.zoeva-shop.de/luxe-complete-set/a-8000379/" target="_blank">Zoeva Luxe Complete Set</a>: I'm starting a full time makeup artistry course this coming October. I've left my Food Science degree and I am well on my way to studying my passion in life. So I need a full set of brushes, and I've heard nothing but amazing things about Zoeva brushes. Plus their price point is really good!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. I saw these <a href="http://www.riverisland.com/women/shoes--boots/ankle-boots/black-zip-trim-chunky-ankle-boots-670573" target="_blank">River Island boots</a> online and fell in love. They are the perfect casual and formal boot. You could definitely wear them with leggings, jeans, dresses, everything! They are a chunky ankle boot and also come in taupey beige colour.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. <a href="http://www.boots.ie/en/Smashbox-Photo-Finish-Primer-Water-116ml_1637280/" target="_blank">Smashbox Primer Water</a>. I love MAC Fix+ and every other type of makeup spray, so I feel like I need it. Primer sprays, setting sprays etc etc, they all suck me in everytime and this time is no exception! I really do love the concept of this product and have heard ah-mazing reviews :)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. How cute is this <a href="http://www.riverisland.com/women/bags--purses/satchels/camel-large-suedette-satchel-bag-671100" target="_blank">River Island satchel</a>! I love satchels, I have way too many. However what I love about this is (a) the colour (b) the mix of textures, the suede base and leather handles and straps (c) it can be worn on your back. I feel like this is the ideal bag for college, being functional while not compromising your appearance. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. <a href="http://www.debenhams.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10052_10001_123932039699_-1" target="_blank">Urban Decays</a> Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer. A bit of a mouthful but I'm hearing about it everywhere! I love a full coverage liquid concealer that isn't too cakey and is easily blended. I feel this will check all of those boxes, I'm definitely getting this this month :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So now that I have justified this months spending, I just have to wait for payday! And pay my car insurance... </div>

I feel like I've watched hundreds, no exaggeration. So I decided I'd share mine with you today. Just some background on my skin, I have combination/ oily skin. I don't suffer with acne but I do get the odd breakout, like most other people. I used to have extremely oily skin, like I literally had my makeup slide off my T-Zone after wearing my makeup for an hour. Now I've got my skincare down to a fine art and it really has controlled the oil so much! No more powdering every five minutes. My main skin issues are blackheads and large open pores on my nose, an oily t-zone and I can have very dull, tired and washed out skin. So here are my morning and night routines :)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA2n-8Cs_i1DWMu8tI6y3Zfei_dnLpf7J8hPP_KrX06Ort3PETHkkayCo-NvsFQ2yC-otohm3LmMnJiPVOy3urkK7OLUms2e710ZyDG2qEMl09WjkH024kxeCluw8op1sVw52J7JvkO8dj/s1600/IMG_3706.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA2n-8Cs_i1DWMu8tI6y3Zfei_dnLpf7J8hPP_KrX06Ort3PETHkkayCo-NvsFQ2yC-otohm3LmMnJiPVOy3urkK7OLUms2e710ZyDG2qEMl09WjkH024kxeCluw8op1sVw52J7JvkO8dj/s640/IMG_3706.JPG" title="Morning Skincare" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>Morning Routine:</b></u><br />
<ul>
<li><i> </i>I feel that I have quite a minimal morning routine. I prefer to shower at night and I'm not a big fan of washing my face in the morning. So I use the<a href="http://www.boots.ie/en/Garnier-Skin-Naturals-Micellar-Cleansing-Water-Combination-Sensitive-Skin-400ml_1656090/" target="_blank"> Garnier Micellar Water for Combination & Sensitive skin</a>. This is amazing, its cleanses your face so well and really does make you feel like you've just washed your face. </li>
<li>Next I use the <a href="http://www.boots.ie/en/Botanics-100-Organic-Rosewater-Toning-Spritz-150ml_1262007/" target="_blank">Boots Botanical Rosewater Toner Spray</a>. Now mine is not in the original bottle because it was too large to carry around with me on holidays so I put it into a smaller spray bottle. This toner is so gentle and refreshing, its so light and not harsh at all. </li>
<li>I then put on my <a href="http://www.debenhams.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10052_10001_123010999199_-1" target="_blank">Estee Lauder Idealist Pore Minimizing Serum</a>, this has really helped reduce the size of my pores and it smells gorg, it also acts as a really nice base for your makeup as it keeps you matte. </li>
<li>I then put on the <a href="http://www.boots.ie/en/Simple-Kind-To-Eyes-Soothing-Eye-Balm-15ml_53079/" target="_blank">Simple Soothing Eye Balm</a> to hydrate my under eyes. Never ever put normal moisturiser or serum on your under eye area as these products are too heavy. </li>
<li>Lastly I apply my <a href="http://www.brownthomas.com/mac/strobe-cream-50ml/invt/77x1832xm6he" target="_blank">MAC Strobe Cream</a>. It is a really light moisturizer and gives a beautiful glow to dull skin, its also an amazing makeup base. Just because your skin is oily don't shy away from illuminating products, this one just gives a beautiful natural glow without the oil. </li>
</ul>

<u><b>Night Time Routine:</b></u><br />
<ul>
<li>My night skincare routine is a little more extensive. I remove my face makeup using the <a href="http://www.boots.ie/en/Garnier-Skin-Naturals-Micellar-Cleansing-Water-Combination-Sensitive-Skin-400ml_1656090/" target="_blank">Garnier Micellar Water</a>. I then use the <a href="http://www.boots.ie/en/Garnier-2in1-Eye-Make-up-Remover-125ml_1440750/" target="_blank">Garnier Express 2 in 1 Eye Makeup Remover</a> to remove my eye makeup. I use little circular cotton pads and the product to remove my makeup.</li>
<li>I shower at night so I wash my face before bed. I use a makeup removing wash in case I've missed any leftover foundation or mascara. I like to use the <a href="http://www.debenhams.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10052_10001_123010008499_-1" target="_blank">Estee Lauder Perfectly Clean</a> face wash. It's a foaming face wash which I love and it covers a few steps in my skincare routine. It cleanses, tones and removes your makeup. It also smells amazing!</li>
<li>Next I apply my <a href="http://www.debenhams.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10052_10001_123010010799_-1" target="_blank">Advanced Night Repair</a>. This really is a cult skincare product, it basically repairs all the damage your skin cells go through on a daily and nightly basis. I've really noticed this has greatly improved the appearance and texture of my skin.</li>
<li>Lastly I apply<a href="http://www.debenhams.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10052_10001_123010009299_-1" target="_blank"> Estee Lauder's Advanced Time Zone Moisturizer</a>. This is an anti aging night cream. I know I am only 21 years of age but I'm definitely not going to wait until I get wrinkles before I start treating them. This has a gorgeous rich texture but isn't too oily. </li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm really hoping that these products might help some of you that are suffering from really oily skin. I've found that by not over washing my face or by using products that are not oil free has helped so much. If you deprive your skin from oil it's just going to produce way more, and you'll end up with a total oily mess! I'd love to hear your favourite skincare products or any suggestions you have :)<br />

I was lucky enough to get my hands on Estee Lauder's new fragrance Modern Muse LeRouge. I have been MIA for the last few days as I have been at product training for Estee Lauder, as I do work as a beauty adviser for them :)<br />
<br />
<br />
So one of the amazing new products we got to try was Muse LeRouge! The new face of this product is the lovely Kendall Jenner. As far as I'm aware it has already been released in the USA, however it wont be in the UK and Ireland until the 27th of July. As some of you may know all Modern Muse fragrances have accords and not notes. LeRouge's accords are ripened roses and velvet cream. So basically every person that smells it, smells something slightly different! This is the exact same concept as the other Modern Muse fragrances.<br />
<br />
<br />
Personally I love it!! The red roses accord is definitely the most prominent to me however I do get the velvet cream scent after wearing it for a while. Its a very sexy scent, I feel like you could definitely wear it day and night however if you prefer a light scent during the day this probably isn't the one for you! It is now my favourite Estee Lauder scent, closely followed by the original Modern Muse and the Bronze Goddess.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'd really suggest you all head down to your local Estee Lauder counter and give it a sniff! And on a side note, isnt the packaging beautiful?! Love it!<br />

I love wearing liquid or gel liner, it can really complete your eye look and unless you are a pro at applying false lashes it really is a must in order to hide that lash band!! I alternate between gel and liquid liners and in terms of what are my favourites I recommend <a href="http://www.brownthomas.com/eyeliner/fluidline-limited-edition/invt/77x1832xm5f355" target="_blank">MACs Blacktrack Fluidline</a> and the <a href="http://www.boots.ie/en/Maybelline-Eye-Studio-Lasting-Drama-Gel-Eyeliner_1294929/" target="_blank">Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Liner</a>. For liquid liners I love the <a href="http://www.boots.ie/en/Estee-Lauder-Double-Wear-Zero-Smudge-Liquid-Eyeliner_125457/" target="_blank">Estee Lauder Double Wear Liner </a>and the <a href="http://www.boots.ie/en/Rimmel-Exaggerate-Eye-Liner_6935/" target="_blank">Rimmel Exaggerate Liner</a>. So if you love wearing liquid liner or are wanting to try it out I've put together four different but easy ways to wear liquid eyeliner.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhod_lqFenH0NbGEZDF4qHqln0MJb5TPANd9tIBxPvJFYJRQbgIbVg3Y-i0kwTUvJlg6gjzyIqCXdJnC2KMnawyJtND5BQVG1iO7d3AxvcPS6_G3u3KwZnd3eMD8sMSSs1sQha95hCRojBS/s1600/IMG_3642.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhod_lqFenH0NbGEZDF4qHqln0MJb5TPANd9tIBxPvJFYJRQbgIbVg3Y-i0kwTUvJlg6gjzyIqCXdJnC2KMnawyJtND5BQVG1iO7d3AxvcPS6_G3u3KwZnd3eMD8sMSSs1sQha95hCRojBS/s200/IMG_3642.JPG" width="112" /></a><br />
So the first way to wear your liner is the simplest. Just apply your liner as thin or as thick as you want to just above your lash line. You can wear this with or without eyeshadow and is ideal if you just want to hide your lash band or give a little more definition to your eye.You can easily achieve this look using any type of eyeliner, with a sharp enough eye pencil you can definitely achieve it. I personally prefer using a gel liner for it. You can also smudge it out to get a more grungy casual look.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhECaUwwGeyP8WNGpOuKLfE2sBfHb-YsE5J5CtKXFsksLstD9c_pdI3tWMTgJ9vLUI75ymy_rl1KHvvZUvfgaqYwGW8C28TRE8Vnowy3bBkIGaFyUfALcOcwQMYA7Ayya0wpRDPhBbuVJoT/s1600/IMG_3643.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhECaUwwGeyP8WNGpOuKLfE2sBfHb-YsE5J5CtKXFsksLstD9c_pdI3tWMTgJ9vLUI75ymy_rl1KHvvZUvfgaqYwGW8C28TRE8Vnowy3bBkIGaFyUfALcOcwQMYA7Ayya0wpRDPhBbuVJoT/s200/IMG_3643.JPG" width="112" /></a><br />
So if you want to add a little more you can create flick or cat eye. Simply extend the liner past your eye at a slight angle and then fill it in. This eye look used to be typical when paired with a red lip but you can now wear it on its own or with any look, casual or dramatic! Again liquid or gel liner will do the job, but I like using a liquid liner to create the flick. If you having trouble with it there are loads of videos online using the tape method, I'd definitely recommend checking those out. You can eye that method for creating crisp eyeshadow looks too.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

I binged watched Carli Bybel's videos a while back. She introduced extending your liner into your inner corner. It really does create the illusion of a bigger eye, especially when paired with winged eyeliner. It adds more dimension to your look without being too dramatic. The trick is to keep the extension as thin as possible and as close to the eye as possible so that you don't end up with a gap in between. Liquid liner is my personal fave for creating this, and paired with a sparkly inner corner highlight it will add an extra something to your eye makeup.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJT569ZfaWztHsed6RmrAwhNBoXNB_MlK6hLpZpYAyHruyyqQW0GE51bQ3PxgxNGo93CngNnUQc9GVNgRXc9JH-vEB_kOstZGVcslbeutVeFowRgsY569NGXbJmRXZU3sJ7v4HShZfI7MU/s1600/IMG_3647.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJT569ZfaWztHsed6RmrAwhNBoXNB_MlK6hLpZpYAyHruyyqQW0GE51bQ3PxgxNGo93CngNnUQc9GVNgRXc9JH-vEB_kOstZGVcslbeutVeFowRgsY569NGXbJmRXZU3sJ7v4HShZfI7MU/s200/IMG_3647.JPG" width="112" /></a><br />
The last suggestion is the most dramatic and in my opinion its definitely not an everyday look. So again you just add on from the last look. I put the liner underneath my eye and and extend past the bottom part of my eye, and join it at the inner corner. I put some pencil eyeliner on my waterline and smudged it into the liquid liner, because otherwise you would be left with a strip of skin colour between your liner and your eye. Paired with a statement lip or smokey eye I love this more dramatic liner!<br />
