Hey you guys!

 I don't know about you but I suffer from a serious case of butter fingers especially with liquid liners so I usually shy away. I was looking forward to going in to try the line out for myself on pay day and the lovely people at Lancome must be tapping into my dreams as guess what dropped on my door mat today!!

Lancome Artliner 24H

The facts as they were

Hey everyone!

When I think of Armani I immediately think luxury, exclusivity, beauty, Expensive!  I live for reviews of these types of brands but sometimes I am afraid to trust the hype and invest in something I don't end up liking. I am one to sit on the fence though so I have been wanting to purchase even just one high end item and covet it from afar.. I just did not know where to start!

I had the opportunity to meet National face designer for Armani UK and Ireland Thoa Tran in the beautiful Dylan Hotel, Dublin 4 and there she gave a few of us an intimate showing of Armani Fall collection all launching within the next 6 weeks.

I was greeted in the main room by a sea of beautiful Lipsticks. 36 shades in total. There are neutrals, corals and pinks and also the most amazing reds you will find. My favourite was a dark red, berry shade called Scarlito. The lipsticks are fabulous quality. They have shea butter to moisturise but colour has not been compromised and the pay off is fabulous.

The packaging of such a powerful product is equally amazing. The outer shell is a stand out Brick Red. There is no name to signify the brand but there is the logo on the front shell making you aware that the product is indeed Armani. The lid is magnetic so you don't have to worry about ruining the lipstick if it is at the end of your bag and there is a beautiful indentation of the Armani logo on the actual product.

I am a total convert. There is such a beautiful shine from the lipstick and the colour lasts for hours. It is my new favourite product and will live with me forever!!


I had such an amazing time getting make up tips from Thoa and meeting some fellow bloggers but most of all I got my chance to experience the luxury of a high end brand and am raging I never took that step before!





I discovered some more amazing products at the event and will introduce them in my next blog post so keep your eyes peeled!!!

Armani Lipsticks Rouge Ecstacy Range Available exclusively in Brown Thomas from late September priced €28.

Hey everyone!

Thought it might be about time to talk about some favourites! I haven't had much time for make up this month. It is killing me just getting out of bed these days but there have been a few things I have been treasuring this month that have made my days somewhat easier!

Aqueous Cream

Now don't all jump out of your seats. I know this is not considered the most desirable product but man does it do the job! I have the driest, most sensitive and irritated skin especially during the times of stress. I constantly have my hands in water and very little helps to keep my hands moisturised!
This is amazing and so inexpensive. I use it all the time and when used the right way it doesn't have to be oil central at your finger tips. This cream is very inexpensive and I picked up mine at boots and in a fancy squeezy tube too!!


Mc Vities Lunch Time Flatbreads 

I have been seriously loving these this month. I found them on sale in Tesco for like €1.30 and thought I might try the salt and cracked black pepper variety and I could not get enough. I brought them into work with me and we all had a great time munching through the day. I bought the mixed seed second time around and they are minging but I'm not a seed person so not really surprising. I will be repurchasing the flat breads definitely! There are 43 calories per slice so perfect for a snack or to accompany soup and the likes..

Music | Favourite song

Drake - Hold On, We're going home

I have this on repeat on itunes since I first discovered this song. If this song hasn't been raped to death on the X Factor this year I will be super surprised. I normally think Drake is so annoying and he sounds like he hates his life but I swear to god the emotion that comes from this song is so intense I feel like just hugging whoever he is singing to. I love all types of music and it's rare I find a gem like this. If you like sexy, r &b music then hit this tune up. I'm linking the video to Youtube here. Drakes version. While your at it listen to this version from Pia Mia. She is Totes Kylie Jenner's besto and an amazing singer. I think it's better than Drakey's version


Herbal Essence Bee Strong Instensive Conditioner

This is fast becoming my favourite all time conditioner. It works for one. It makes my hair silky smooth and I can brush my hair woohoo!! It has been a long time since I have been able to blowdry my hair and get up the next morning with straight hair. I was born with straight hair and a curl appeared from nowhere after a year of dying the bejaysus out of it.
TOTALLY recommend this product!!!




This was a short post but thanks for dropping by all the same!!
