Caroline’s Beauty

Last Thursday I turned up on the doorstep of Caroline’s Beauty in Rush like a woman deranged.  I didn’t have an appointment and I was looking for some last minute assistance.  I have talons and I can’t face cutting them.  I had chipped a few nails and had glued them back together with teabags.  I […]

Winging It and Borderlines from Blank Canvas Cosmetics

A couple of weeks ago I was asked what my favourite Irish brand is.  Without hesitation I said Blank Canvas Cosmetics.  I first tried it in December of last year and was so surprised by the quality in relation to the price.  The first item I bought was an 88 shadow palette and I love […]

Dracula Untold

Last night my blogging other half Rory from Eat Drink Run Fun and I attended the premier of Dracula Untold in Dublin’s Savoy.  I’m clearly a terrible Dubliner because I’d never been in the Savoy before.  Having been once, I can’t wait to go back again.  It is gorgeous and I can’t believe I was […]

#HallowBloggers Meet-Up

Urban Decay Blackrock

Last Thursday the lovely Emma from Mastering your Make-up attended a masterclass in Urban Decay Blackrock.  I love going anywhere with Emma because we always manage to have a good old laugh.  We had a little nosey around Debenhams and made wish-lists before wandering over to Urban Decay.  Before we took our seats we met […]

Perversion promises bigger, blacker, badder lashes and I was intrigued to see if this was the case. I find that mascara often leaves my lashes dry and brittle. I want lots […]

Mio Workout Wonder Gel

Almost two weeks ago I was sent the Mio Workout Wonder gel.  This is an invigorating muscle motivation gel.  In simple terms this is a booster shot for your muscles.  The idea is that the gel helps one recover faster after a gym or workout session.  The gel can also be used before a workout […]

Birthday Blues

Today is my birthday and as usual I’m feeling a little down.  This is nothing new for me.  I have always hated birthdays.  Like most people I don’t particularly enjoy the idea of getting older and I find myself thinking about all the things I should have done and accomplished by this stage of my […]

No.7 Hydration Mask

There are a few things that can be relied on with absolute certainty in life, one of those being that when No7 vouchers become available I will make a trip to Boots.  Who doesn’t love getting to try new products without having to pay full price?  On a recent search for new and perfected skin […]

Boots No7 Beautiful Skin: An Alternative to Binning Vouchers

I haven’t been very well recently and I’ve also had to move house so things have been pretty stressful.  Whilst trying to keep calm on the surface, my skin was showing signs of stress and fatigue.  My skin looked dehydrated and withered and at the same time was decorated with bauble like spots, mostly arranged […]
