There is something about drawing black lines along the corner of my eyes that makes me feel better about everything. Vintage has been part of my life for such a long time now and that is evident through my make-up as well as a lot of my clothing. I can’t be without winged liner. Many […]

Dublin Comic Con 2015
For the first time, this year I attended the Dublin Comic Con. I have wanted to go before but for one reason or another it had never worked out. I had a number of costumes for consideration but as we were sitting watching Bojack Horseman one evening we decided it would be funny to go […]
Tiger Blanchardstown
Many of you may already know that I adore Tiger. I love it for its craft supplies, its whimsical goodies (especially the dinosaurs in clay, my dad and I have lots of fun excavating them) and its stamps. I have an ink stamp obsession. I can’t explain it but I’ve always loved them. Last summer […]
Inside Out
This week for my Do Something Sunday post I’m recommending a trip to the cinema to see Disney Pixar’s new film Inside Out. As today is so wet and miserable it is a great way to spend the afternoon. On Thursday I was treated to a showing by the lovely Rory of Eat Drink Run […]
Yon-Ka is a brand that hails from France and was established in the 1950s. Yon-Ka prides itself on being a phytoaromatic skincare brand. Some of us will remember from biology classes in school that phyto usually deals with plants. It is no surprise that the brand concerns itself with plant extracts as it was created […]
Inglot Brow Gel
Being a fan of Inglot’s gel liner and a good strong brow I had to try their new AMC brow gel as soon as I could get my hands on it. I had a look at the range of shades and decided number 19 (out of 22) was the one for me. I wanted the […]
It is no secret that I love Blank Canvas Cosmetics. In fact I’d go as far to say I’m addicted to their products. I have never tried anything that I haven’t loved and the Pippa palette is no different. Although my adoration for the brand is unwavering, I have to be honest and say I […]
How to Repair a Broken Nail
On Saturday I completely and utterly busted my thumb nail. It was hideous and the break was very far up the nail bed. Not wanting to be de-clawed because of the pain it would cause and because of vanity I decided to fix it. It is relatively easy to do and you’ll need a couple […]
The Little Mermaid
I haven’t done a fairytale look in a while so today I have decided to recreate Ariel for The Little Mermaid. The Little Mermaid is my second favourite Disney film, after Beauty and the Beast of course. This look is relatively quick and easy and I think it would be a good character to start […]
Do Something Sunday : Newgrange
In the name of research for my Do Something Sunday I headed off to Newgrange this week. Although I went to the visitor centre and monument, I headed to the farm first. It is important to note that the farm isn’t actually included in the tour or price but it is well worth a visit. […]
