Funnily enough I had mentioned to a friend that she was someone I was anxious to see in concert so when I got an email through that she would be performing in Limerick I was so excited and let me tell you she doesn't disappoint.<br />

Imelda has recently changed her image (in case you don't recognise her in my pics) and I won't lie I would loved to have had the chance to see her all dolled up in her rock-a-billy outfits BUT her music and energy is still the same and she churned out hit after hit and had the crowd clapping and singing along for the evening.<br />

I won't lie it was my friend that was the Rod fan, but having heard that he put on a great show I was really looking forward to seeing him live and he certainly didn't disappoint. <br />

The crowd rocked away for over 2 hours as Rod worked his way through all his hits and I was actually surprised at how many of his songs I knew.<br />

For me though the highlight of the night was his support, 'The Sisterhood', made up of Rod's daughter Ruby and Alyssa Bonagura. I think they're definitely ones to watch and their unique sound and great harmonies went down a storm with the crowd.<br />

It literally sold out within an hour of going online.<br />
<br />
They are the first act since The Frames back in 2004 to play at the castle. It's such a great venue and should definitely be used more often. <br />
<br />

<br />
Much to the shock of some of my friends I wasn't hugely familiar with The Coronas music and
only knew a handful of their songs, but all that has changed after seeing
them live. Their energy and music is contagious and they are such down
to earth nice guys.<br />
<br />

<br />
I, "of course" brought my camera and snapped a few pics and also filmed some video. I think you can see from the video the energy they put into their performance. Definitely worth checking these guys out if you ever have the chance to see them live.<br />

The venue was so perfect and because only 2k tickets were sold everyone wasn't squashed and uncomfortable. Myself and my friends were delighted that we had our own little section and plenty of room.<br />
I'm really hoping they plan on using this venue more for music events because I for one would go back in a heartbeat.<br />

Playing support for The Coronas were The Academic who I'm pretty sure earned themselves a few new fans as well.<br />

<br />
The one thing people tend to ask me most is what products I
use on my hair, so I thought it would be a good thing to do a blog post
about.<br />
<br />
These are my go to products which mostly stay
the same and have done for quite a while now. Sometimes I add in a few
more things (leave in conditioners/shine spray etc) but overall these
are the things I have found that work for me.<br />
<br />
For colouring I use Garnier Nutrisse. I have tried SO many hair colours over the years and this is the only one that works on my colour resistant greys. It also leaves my hair feeling healthy and conditioned. <br />
<br />
I have a
really fussy scalp so not all shampoos suit me (what a surprise). The
shampoo brand that I've found works for me is the Aussie Brand. It
doesn't matter which one I use in the range so I tend to switch it up
every now and then and have, at one time or another, used them all. At
the moment I'm using the Beach Mate Shampoo & Colour Mate Conditioner and I
tend to buy them when they're on offer. <br />

<br />
To protect my hair when heat styling I love the <span class="st">TRESemmé
Heat Protector. As much as I love the Aussie Shampoo and Conditioners I
didn't like their Heat Protector. I found it left my hair sticky and
heavy. The </span><span class="st">TRESemmé one doesn't do that and I
also find that it detangles my hair slightly as well! Always a plus when
you have hair like mine that tangles so easily.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="st">I go through phases of using Argan Oil and
hair masks (either the Aussie 3min miracle or Frizz Ease) depending on
the condition of my hair but I personally find it's more in the summer
that my hair needs these, so at the moment I'm not using anything beyond
my regular shampoo and conditioner.</span><br />

<span class="st"><span class="st">They are my main products that I use everytime I
wash my hair. I only wash my hair every 2/3 days. With the length and
thickness of my hair I really couldn't be washing it everyday and it
doesn't need washing every day as it's really only my fringe that gets
anyway greasy after day 3. If my fringe has been recently cut I can
actually get away with 3 days of good hair before I need to wash it.</span></span><br />

<br />
Here's a little peek at a few of the Christmas Card designs I came up with this year.<br />
Everything I used to make my cards was using stash I already had or freebies I had gotten with magazines. I was determined NOT to buy anything because God knows I had enough in my stash without buying anymore.<br />
<br />
I wanted to keep them simple so i used a kraft card base and the same basic design for all of them. I started by embossing some pearlescent white card with snowflakes, added a ribbon and then matted and layered that onto some coloured card. Using that as my base I then made a few different designs by adding die cut snowflakes (freebie from a magazine) and other various things I had in my stash.<br />

I loved how they turned out and thought the combo of the kraft card and the pearlescent white card worked really well.<br />
<br />
I also decided to decorate the envelopes using, you guessed it, a freebie stamp from a magazine.<br />

<br />
I was in Penney's (Primark to those of you in the UK) recently, and naturally couldn't leave without picking up a few bits. So I thought I'd share what I got.<br />
<br />
There are some gorgeous things for Autumn in store at the moment and I really need to go back and pick up some more because this little haul consists of mainly shoes and PJs.<br />
<br />
<br />
The only clothes items I picked up are these jumpers with faux blouses which are very popular at the moment. They come in a range of different colours at <b>€12</b> each. I picked up the black and grey. The black one has a plain shirt and even though it doesn't show up very well in the pic the grey one has a polka dot blouse. I've already worn them and they wash SO well. They're practically dry coming out of the washing machine.<br />
<br />
I'm pretty fussy when it comes to knitwear and don't waste my money on anything that's 100% acrylic anymore. I'm fed up of buying things that I truly love and then after one or two wears they go all bobbley. My advice: check the labels and if you see that it's 100 acrylic, put it back!<br />

For obvious reasons (my love of owls) I HAD to pick up these pj's. I did need some new winter ones and when I saw these I knew they were the ones I had to have.
I thought this set was cute and such good value. The top was €5 and Bottoms were €8.<br />

This one is also adorable. Top €8 and bottoms also €8.<br />

I have a slight scarf addiction and it's getting a little out of control but this fab scarf for €6 was just too good to resist. It's literally the size of a blanket and is so snug and warm. I've already worn it on a few occasions and it will definitely be getting plenty of use this winter. I may have to pick up a few more in some other colours {blush}.<br />

These shoes were just too gorgeous to resist. I love the fact that they have a chunky heel (which I'm sorry is difficult to see in the pic) but I wanted a pair of dressy high heels that didn't have a really skinny heel. These fit the bill perfectly and at €20.00 were also easy on the pocket.<br />

<br />
This style of shoe is very poplar at the moment so I grabbed a pair when I spotted my size. They cost €7.<br />

These are super light but I fell in love with the colour and for €5 they ended up getting thrown into my basket.<br />

I picked up a couple of homeware items. The little mini drawer set that I thought might come in handy in my craft room or maybe even to alter was €8 and the cushion covers were £3.50 each.<br />

Last but not least I picked up this cute watch. It's more for the summer but I loved the colour and style of it and at €7 it was super affordable.<br />

Because I love looking at other people's Monthly Favourites posts/videos so much I thought I'd start putting up my Monthly Favourites. And while in an ideal world I'd like to have started this at the beginning of the year, life isn't perfect, so here I am starting this off with my August favourites.<br />
<br />
I'm gonna mix it up a bit and include EVERYTHING. So I'll be including beauty, lifestyle, craft, food, music and movie faves and anything else that tickles my fancy. Sometimes there may be more of one that there is of another.<br />
I'm so excited, so let's get started...........<br />
<br />
Let's start with beauty. This first one has been a favourite for quite a while now, so much so that I just repurchased it for the third time (which is practically unheard of for me). It's the <b>Seventeen Falsifeye HD Mascara (<a href="http://www.boots.ie/en/SEVENTEEN-Falsifeye-HD-Mascara_1502635/" target="_blank">Boots</a> €9.49)</b>, it's top of my beauty faves this month.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdpu8iJOCqKtQLs372akt2azp9L1B7YBJZ7oWQu_vDKnm9cpl0KEr3gAWi8Y6y6jP_ThqaYKiBD3VSRm7jnHpdmmbMMfrb0cSxVRZQ7Qg3txhCEA7WmiiabXAgTyCmoGhP2cuMRx-tmQsY/s1600/July+Favourites+7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="262" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdpu8iJOCqKtQLs372akt2azp9L1B7YBJZ7oWQu_vDKnm9cpl0KEr3gAWi8Y6y6jP_ThqaYKiBD3VSRm7jnHpdmmbMMfrb0cSxVRZQ7Qg3txhCEA7WmiiabXAgTyCmoGhP2cuMRx-tmQsY/s640/July+Favourites+7.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I've found myself reaching for the <b>Maybelline Baby Lips Balm (<a href="http://www.boots.ie/en/Maybelline-Baby-Lips-Lip-Balm_1365477/" target="_blank">Boots</a> €3.99)</b> in peach more and more this month for when I want a bit of colour but don't want to wear lipstick. This does the job perfectly while also keeping my lips moisturised. I also love the smell of it.<br />
<br />
<b>Versace Vanitas Perfume</b> <b>(<a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/VANITAS-Eau-perfume-spray-30/dp/B004O5FV2O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1440780334&sr=8-2&keywords=Versace+Vanitas" target="_blank">Amazon</a> £25.66)</b> has been my everyday perfume for the last while.
I first got a sample of this in a Glossy Box ages ago and fell in love
with it immediately. At the time it was only available from Harrods in
London and when I looked it up on their website the postage cost nearly
as much as the perfume so it just didn't seem logical to purchase it.
Time went by and while browsing through the winter sale on the Debenhams
website 12 months ago 3 guesses what I spotted. I took it as a sign and
purchased this little beauty and haven't regretted it since. At first I
kept it for evening and special occasion wear but when I used up my
regular everyday perfume I started using this one as my daily scent. <br />

<br />
I love using the Simple Eye Make-up Remover Wipes but they're a
little bit on the pricey side. These <b>Tesco Eye Make-Up Remover Pads (<a href="http://www.tesco.ie/groceries/Product/Details/?id=258872637" target="_blank">Tesco</a> €1.99)</b> are exactly
same. They're unscented, the same size, have a textured side to make
sure they remove any stubborn eye make-up and they're gentle enough for
contact lens wearers.<br />
At €1.99 they're a fraction of the cost of
the Simple ones. Also being pads and not a liquid means they're ideal
for packing for any holidays.<br />

<br />
The last while I've been using this <b>Maybelline Eyebrow Mascara (<a href="http://www.boots.ie/en/Maybelline-Brow-Drama-Sculpting-Mascara_1365297/" target="_blank">Boots</a> €7.49 )</b> on my
brows. I've never liked how brow powders or pencils look on my brows but
this brow mascara is so easy to use, looks so natural and is the
perfect match for my brows that I can't see myself ever using anything
else.<br />
<br />

I had been eyeing up this <b>Mitchem Cream Anti-Perspirant & Deodorant (<a href="http://www.tesco.ie/groceries/Product/Details/?id=281975395" target="_blank">Tescos</a> €6.99)</b> in my local Tescos for quite a while but thought that the €6.99 price tag was a bit much so I skipped buying it. And then I saw <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/FleurDeForce" target="_blank">Fleur De Force</a> mention it on You Tube and she said how good it was. She has never led me astray with products before so I took her word for it and popped it in my basket the next time I was in shopping. I'm happy to say I haven't regretted my purchase. It does everything it says and is definitely my favourite to use now.<br />

Bookwise I've been reading <b>On The Water's Edge</b> <b>By Sara Gruen</b> <b>(<a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/At-Waters-Edge-Sara-Gruen/dp/1473604702/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1440779449&sr=8-1&keywords=at+the+waters+edge" target="_blank">AmazonUK</a>, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/At-Waters-Edge-Sara-Gruen-ebook/dp/B00QTUUII4/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1440779314&sr=1-1&keywords=on+the+waters+edge" target="_blank">AmazonUS</a> )</b>. If the authors name is familiar to you it maybe because she is also the author of <b>Water for Elephants</b> that was later made into a movie starring Robert Pattinson & Reese Witherspoon.<br />

My final favourite of the month is a food favourite and it's this <b>Kelkin Popcorn (<a href="http://www.tesco.ie/groceries/Product/Details/?id=284686225" target="_blank">Tesco</a> €2.79)</b>. You're probably saying it's just popcorn, what's so special about that? Well let me tell you..... This popcorn comes in sachets that are suitable for one. I LOVE this because I love snacking on popcorn when I feel like a salty snack. But if I use the ordinary sachets it makes WAY too much and I can't help but eat it all because I love popcorn that much! Also I prefer the popcorn that you pop yourself because the smell of it just makes it all the more appetising to me, so these smaller sachets are just perfect!<br />

I've been meaning to do a 'What's in my Make-Up' Bag for the longest time. I love being nosey and seeing what other people keep in their bags so here's what I have in mine at the moment.......<br />

The bag I'm using is one I got back in May just before I went on holidays to LA. I got it in Penneys and what attracted me too it (besides the lovely pattern) was the fact that it had 2 sections. My last make-up bag was just a one section bag and for holiday packing I like to have things in different compartments to make it easy to put my hands on things.<br />
I think it was around the €4/€5 mark.<br />
<br />

<br />
Ok so the first (and most important) thing in here is my foundation. The one I use (and swear by) is Maybelline's Dream Satin in 10 Ivory. I love this stuff more than life itself. I found it really difficult to find something that suited my skin and gave me the look that I wanted. This was the only one that worked for me and I've been using it for a good 2 years now.<br />
<br />
Next up, concealer. I find the Collection Lasting Perfection one covers any blemishes and doesn't look chalky or dry on my skin (a problem I often have with other concealers). Also it's a good match for my skin shade.<br />
<br />

<br />
Onto the eyes. At the moment I'm using Maybelline's Great Lash Mascara in Very Black. I got the Waterproof one for holidays and love it. Love the size of the brush, it's small enough to be able to get all those little lashes in the corners.<br />
Maybellines Brow Drama in Dark Brow, this is a Sculpting Brow Mascara. And No7's Lash & Brow Perfector which is a clear gel. <br />
If it's not obvious by now I'm a big Maybelline fan. I just find their products suit my skin and they're just really good.<br />
So the next thing in my bag is the 24hr Color Tattoo in the shade On & On Bronze.<br />

I have 2 eyeliners. The main one I'm using at the moment is Max Factors Excess Intensity in Black. I've been using it a while now and can't fault it. It stays put and I like that you can just twist it up and don't need to bother with the hassle of sharpening it.<br />
The second one is one I bought on holiday's and is Sephora's Crayon Contour in 32 Tango night.<br />
I also have an Eyko eyelash curler that was a freebie with a magazine a few months back and a HD Brows tweezers that came with a Glossy Box.<br />

Last but by no means least are Lip Products. I have quite a few of these. They seem to have built up a bit {blush}.<br />
First up is this RimmelVinyl Gloss in Cosmic. I feel like I have this a long time. I think I picked this up in London but I love the colour of it and still use it quite a bit.<br />
<br />
Garnier Factor 20 Lip Protection. This is still in here from my holidays. <br />
<br />
I have 2 Tanya Burr lipglosses (which I must do a review on). The shades I have look very similar in the tubes but on the lips they're quite different. I like nudes so I went for Chic and Afternoon Tea.<br />
<br />
And last but by no means least is my favourite lip product. It's a Maybelline (yep) Colour Elixir. I purchased 2 of these while in LA. This one is in the shade Mauve Mystique. I'll be dong a full review and talking more about these in a future post.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
My neighbour asked me last minute to make a Halloween card for her to send to her </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
grandkids in America.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She had tried various shops around town but had no luck in finding one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course I agreed but then I ran into the little problem of not actually having ANY Halloween card making supplies and not having anytime to purchase any either. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm quite happy with how it turned out and the more important thing is so was my neighbour.</div>

I was anxious to try the Hydra-Calm Cleansing Gel and Hydra-Calm Global Protection Day Cream by Ren. I had tried the Ren Beauty Balm and liked it a lot but wanted to give the sensitive skin range a go.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.cloud10beauty.com/rewardsref/index/refer/id/1070/" target="_blank">Cloud 10 Beauty</a> used to do a kind of tester box with 5 of the products from the range and I actually wanted to get that to try them out. Unfortunately it was out of stock when I was placing my order so I took the plunge and ordered the full size products.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
When I first used the gel cleanser I wasn't sure about the smell (I know such a small thing) but it was the first thing that hit me. With the balm I LOVED the smell of it, it reminded me of a beauty spa smell and I think I expected the gel cleanser to be the same but obviously with different ingredients in it, it wasn't. It had a very organic/clean kind of smell, not bad by any means just not what I expected. Now that I'm used to it I love it. And another thing I LOVE about this is that there are no synthetic perfumes added to it because a lot of the time that's what would make me have an allergic reaction. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghfGGa-NNu7VkY3gcpUubA9N9nGEiH7w2m5Xh6KxMB3w6j0whTyZ5bmzDt0NaKmruquQoGyeGeqiCtq7OQzfru2gAT4O6o3QvUqCKrnDBKapnGhOjiBsW-PR-qu-FPpWd6EOdxQYrFz5bz/s1600/Ren+Skincare+(1).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="624" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghfGGa-NNu7VkY3gcpUubA9N9nGEiH7w2m5Xh6KxMB3w6j0whTyZ5bmzDt0NaKmruquQoGyeGeqiCtq7OQzfru2gAT4O6o3QvUqCKrnDBKapnGhOjiBsW-PR-qu-FPpWd6EOdxQYrFz5bz/s640/Ren+Skincare+(1).JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
I use two pumps of cleanser to wash my face and it foams up really well so you could use it with a Clarasonic too (if you have one). Even though I have a Clarasonic I decided to just use the cleanser on it's own to see how it would perform.<br />
My skin, as I've said MANY times before is HYPER Sensitive and I also have a bit of Rosacea on my cheeks, so sometimes even things that are for sensitive skin can break me out or make me red. I'm glad to say this didn't. It's SO gentle on your skin but still makes you feel squeeky clean. It removes make-up gently but thoroughly and leaves your skin feeling soft and hydrated.<br />
I would recommend this product to anyone even if they don't have sensitive skin.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Onto the Moisturiser. I'm sad to say this just didn't suit my skin. I wasn't allergic to it but I've found that my skin of late has been more sensitive/dry when before it used to be sensitive/oily and because of that after 3 days of use I started to get red dry patches along my jawline.<br />
Once I switched back to my old/regular moisturiser (Cetaphyl) the patches disappeared.<br />
If your skin is leaning towards being oily then this would be perfect for you. It just didn't suit my dryer skin at the moment.<br />
<br />
When I was younger and had really oily but still really sensitive skin it was very difficult (make that impossible) to find something on the market that my skin didn't react to because all the products for oily skin were so harsh. THIS would have been perfect.<br />
<br />
I will definitely be trying it out again when my skin goes through it's oily phase which still happens every now and then.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I hope my thoughts on these products helped you if you were thinking of trying them out.<br />
Like I said above I got mine on <a href="https://www.cloud10beauty.com/rewardsref/index/refer/id/1070/" target="_blank">Cloud 10 Beauty</a>. They're a really good Irish website where you can find products that aren't easily available in the shops here in Ireland.<br />
<br />
What I love as well is that you get free samples with your order and what's better is that you can choose your samples. With my order above I got 3 frees samples. Here's what I picked out. I am IN LOVE with the sigma brush. Such a handy size for my handbag!<br />

I have since ordered my second bottle of Ren Cleansing wash and also a Ren Mask that I wanted to try. So l'll let you know what I think of the mask after I've used it a few times.Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00284237669431682544noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7331779375444064653.post-61123299043134337152013-04-22T13:50:00.001+01:002016-05-27T22:58:10.773+01:00Boots Bargain Haul <br />

<br />
I'm calling this my boots Bargain Haul because these are the goodies I got in their 3 for 2 promo that they had on recently.<br />
<br />
The promo was over all the make-up ranges and the haircare ranges and they're mix and match through out the ranges so there was BRILLIANT value to be had.<br />
I stocked up on some of my favourite products and also picked up some that were new to me that I had wanted to try but hadn't gotten around to purchasing yet.<br />
<br />
Also this wasn't all in one trip. I paid 2 visits while the promo was on. Anyway this was what I picked up <br />
Let's take a closer look shall we?<br />
<br />
First up I got my "go to" foundation. I have been using Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid for quite a while now and love it. That ended up being my freebie product out of these three as it was the cheapest. The primer I spotted and wanted to try (I've never had it before) and the brush set seemed like such good value. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Next up I got my go to shampoo & conditioner. I love Aussie shampoo but this is a new one that I haven't had before. I also got a Revlon lip butter. I have 2 other Revlon lip butters that I'm not crazy about so we'll see if I get on any better with this one.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

More Maybelline goodies. I've heard so much about the colour tattoo's that I was dying to try one. This isn't the colour I wanted but the best out of the ones they had. I love the colour of the lip gloss so I can't wait to try that out and the last Maybelline mascara I had I loved (not sure why I didn't pick it up again) but I decided to try a different one this time. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

SO much talk about the Barry M Nail Gelly Nail Paints that I just HAD to get them and I picked up the lip gloss as my freebie but made a mistake with the colour. This WASN'T the one I tested but it was in the space for it and I picked it up without paying too much attention. I had a look when I went back the second time but they were out of the colour I wanted ;-(<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The next 3 things I picked up were the Rimmel ScandelEyes Eye Liner (been hearing good things about this), the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer and another Barry M Gelly Nail Paint ;-}<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizb1FlbEAqKvO5BVDtXsJJeTXlsY4l_2V5nMjYskpewE0KC0XAeR_FBat-tcQYyqx4vfHu-7RC5eh0-TLQCAv9KWBJmFcx5ZmAn-NxQNoZvlcDfDukVosmQnWD69AOrU6c56uLFRbs7oY9/s1600/Boots+Haul++%252821%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizb1FlbEAqKvO5BVDtXsJJeTXlsY4l_2V5nMjYskpewE0KC0XAeR_FBat-tcQYyqx4vfHu-7RC5eh0-TLQCAv9KWBJmFcx5ZmAn-NxQNoZvlcDfDukVosmQnWD69AOrU6c56uLFRbs7oY9/s640/Boots+Haul++%252821%2529.JPG" width="428" /></a></div>
Finally the last lot of 3 for 2's that I got were these Rimmel goodies. I wanted to try out this Match Perfection Foundation. I've seen a lot of people online talking about how good it is and a friend of mine says she swears by it too and her skin always looks great. I do love my Maybelline Foundation (as I said) but sometimes it's good to switch it up a bit. And I just HAD to try the Apocolips Lip Lacquers.<br />

These wipes weren't part of the 3 for 2 offer but they WERE half price which made them good value. I wouldn't pay full price for them (they were over €4 at full price) and to be honest I only wanted them for removing eye make up but at half price I thought they were good value. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And finally I spotted these and fell in love with them. They weren't on offer but were so cute. They're called Jelly Tot Earrings. Don't they look JUST like Jelly Tots? <br />

So that's my Boot Bargain Haul. Did you manage to grab any bargains while Boots had this great promo on? Please let me know in the comments below if you did. I'd love to know.<br />
I am now on a beauty ban for the next 6 months! After this little lot I doubt I'll need to pick anything up for that length of time LOL <br />
<br />
Expect lots of reviews of these products as soon as I've gotten around to trying them out.<br />
<br />
Are there any products above that you're really anxious to know about? Let me know and I'll test them out first.Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00284237669431682544noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7331779375444064653.post-40395436682212910442013-04-02T17:25:00.001+01:002016-05-27T22:59:40.118+01:00Gorjuss Craft Haul <br />

<br />
So I went shopping 2 weekends ago with my friend Ber and we happened to wander into the Art & Hobby shop.<br />
I
had been looking at the new Docrafts Gorjuss range online and wanted to
pick up a few bits. I absolutely LOVE Gorjuss stuff but I wanted to
have a look at it in reality and touch it and make my choices so off we
went into the Art & Hobby shop and this is what I ended up
purchasing.<br />
<br />
I actually ended up getting a few more bits than planned (isn't that always the way? ;-}) <br />
<br />
First thing I picked up was this gorgeous stamp set. There are 4 different types in the collection but I had limited myself to one (having said that I may end up getting some more of these in the future ;-})</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got this one which is called "I Gave You My Heart". How pretty is she?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJCnA89Jy9ZecCIkWq7t8ZpmzAaZO66cAoHs61NfR84Okj2cfNWJzqY_ZvOxJ8dJOcyqSo-5i5smuHmqQGSo0N3Zb2X0-bNSMr-dQgOqzyKzyM4wEPsSqOZLOMR-xYyEDZYdXr7r6Ox-Y/s1600/Craft+Haul++(5).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJCnA89Jy9ZecCIkWq7t8ZpmzAaZO66cAoHs61NfR84Okj2cfNWJzqY_ZvOxJ8dJOcyqSo-5i5smuHmqQGSo0N3Zb2X0-bNSMr-dQgOqzyKzyM4wEPsSqOZLOMR-xYyEDZYdXr7r6Ox-Y/s640/Craft+Haul++(5).JPG" width="478" /></a> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next thing I picked up was this paper pack. They're 6x6 papers and there's 32 sheets in the pack, 2 sheets of each design. I need paper like a hole in the head, but there you go!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9jOgVW9b7W565u_IR9mVeeAAWJ6bkmBjrt6ApD0rlHZkWfitLIIDCTIdDeA702ITzzVV1qQ21DPBQhnrRGgXJZKvLUPANwzeQKfMo3p6KewIn9f0nnrdum-sSA9b8vWmqnmDw0ff5aLk/s1600/Craft+Haul++(2).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="622" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9jOgVW9b7W565u_IR9mVeeAAWJ6bkmBjrt6ApD0rlHZkWfitLIIDCTIdDeA702ITzzVV1qQ21DPBQhnrRGgXJZKvLUPANwzeQKfMo3p6KewIn9f0nnrdum-sSA9b8vWmqnmDw0ff5aLk/s640/Craft+Haul++(2).JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I absolutely LOVE the packaging on these because it's reusable. On the inside of the packaging you get printed toppers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6FmM2mjd_WjJAofO7pqAuk9yOBCEaqGExXNxvnzeZjH3hLSK63F_TzqvQ7JRvrwzxrdQEbiEhZBlk7IAllxHZ4TB_JyjCAjdYxuXNmimOE9hz8WvYCiX1bhzACWSq9YwFWfkvx2M-qhA/s1600/Craft+Haul++(6).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="488" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6FmM2mjd_WjJAofO7pqAuk9yOBCEaqGExXNxvnzeZjH3hLSK63F_TzqvQ7JRvrwzxrdQEbiEhZBlk7IAllxHZ4TB_JyjCAjdYxuXNmimOE9hz8WvYCiX1bhzACWSq9YwFWfkvx2M-qhA/s640/Craft+Haul++(6).JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also wanted to pick up the March/April "Creativity" Mag because it came with free Gorjuss buttons plus the mag is really good and such a bargain at €3.50.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Seeing as most craft mags these days are nearly €8 I love that they've managed to keep this one at a good price and that they nearly always give a great free gift. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was in my local Easons recently and spotted last months "Creativity" mag priced in there at €7 ;-o</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was exactly the same as the one that I had purchased in A&H earlier in the month with the same free stamps. The only difference was that it was in a plastic bag. So DO NOT buy it in Easons!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another thing that was on my list of must buys was this gorgeous Owl stamp! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's the only thing I bought that wasn't part of the Gorjuss collection and I was keeping my fingers firmly crossed that they would have it.</div>

So that was the end of what was on my list of stuff to purchase but somehow these other bits fell into my basket as well!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This 12 pk of A6 cards and envelopes. There are 6 designs (2 of each) and OMG the envelopes are SO cute. The inside of the packaging also has toppers like the paper pack!</div>

And seriously how gorjuss are these brads and little pack of mini notelets?</div>

I think I did pretty well. I LOVE everything I got and now that I have them photographed and up on the blog I can't wait to use them. I have SO many ideas buzzing around in my head. I'll be sure to share what I make with them, so keep an eye out for that. </div>

Seriously if you can get yourself into Boots over the next week or so DO. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They have a 3 for 2 mix and match across ALL the lines of cosmetics and haircare, so it really is worth a visit to stock up (like I did) or to try out new things.</div>

<br />
I have never done any haul posts before but I was shopping a couple of weeks ago and picked up a few quick things in Penny's (that's Primark to those of you that don't live in Ireland) and I thought you'd like to see what I got<br />
<br />
As I said it's a "mini" haul and I only picked up a few quick bits. I actually went in because I wanted to get a new make-up bag and I found this gorgeous one for €3. Animal print is not my thing but I fell in love with this when I saw it. SO pretty!<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then OF COURSE I spotted some scarves. My scarf addiction has taken over from what used to be a handbag addiction but you know I don't mind because I DO actually wear them. And now I try to look out for different colours to match different outfits. Somehow this time I ended up getting a lot of navy !<br />

These first 2 are actually snoods. I LOVE the navy one with the silver hearts (they also had this in a blush pink). I'm not sure about the cream one but I think for the summer it might be cute. It's lacy with little pompoms around the edges.

I picked up the navy one with the brown paisley pattern to go with a brown jumper that I have and it looks great with it. And the final navy one with the owl print I picked up just because it had owls and I couldn't resist it {blush} I have a "thing" about owls (just in case you didn't know) </center>

The scarves were all €4 each </center>

I saw these over on the <a href="http://beautyemporium.ie/" target="_blank">Beauty Emporium website</a> back in October and decided to give them a whirl.<br />
They come in a few different varieties but I decided to try out the <a href="http://beautyemporium.ie/index.php/brands/konjac-sponges/pure-konjac-sponge.html" target="_blank">original/natural one</a> and the <a href="http://beautyemporium.ie/index.php/brands/konjac-sponges/konjac-sponge-with-added-bamboo-charcoal.html" target="_blank">charcoal version</a> that was recommended for spotty skin (because unfortunately my skin still suffers breakouts every now and then, though nothing like I used to have when I was younger)<br />
<br />

<br />
You can use the sponges with a regular cleansing wash or without one if you prefer and if you use a cleansing wash you only need a fraction of the amount you would normally use.<br />
I chose to try it without to see how it would perform and I tried out the natural one first.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-5ekk_gUiuvY5DvzGhjYGK3YI0efAauaqe_eecCygZ_oXkbPOiRQz8dqST4_ATvFTlJsm2c8BPWI5yW8gGlrmicO3k5L-_4A3FvrsKUgBjVLkgsDMrn69PeHGY5926TbKz_eJCJpZk0I/s1600/Original.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="244" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-5ekk_gUiuvY5DvzGhjYGK3YI0efAauaqe_eecCygZ_oXkbPOiRQz8dqST4_ATvFTlJsm2c8BPWI5yW8gGlrmicO3k5L-_4A3FvrsKUgBjVLkgsDMrn69PeHGY5926TbKz_eJCJpZk0I/s320/Original.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

I found my skin was left super soft after use. They are even gentle enough to use on the eye area too, although I didn't find that it removed my eye make-up very well (& I was only wearing a bit of mascara and eyeliner). To be honest this isn't much of a problem or worry for me I just used my regular eye make-up remover for that. I was more concerned with the results on the rest of my face.
<br />
<br />
You are meant to change your sponge after 3 months of use so in January I started using the charcoal sponge and I can definitely see the difference between the 2 sponges.<br />
My skin type is Sensitive/combination and although I loved the natural sponge the charcoal sponge took care of any spottiness that I'm prone to without drying out my skin. This is pretty important to me because I am also prone to get VERY dry patches on my face which can turn into eczema if something is too harsh.<br />
<br />
The sponges also come in Red, Green and Pink French clay and I'm thinking next time I'm going to try the <a href="http://beautyemporium.ie/index.php/brands/konjac-sponges/konjac-sponge-with-french-pink-clay.html" target="_blank">French Pink Clay</a> which is for Tired & Devitalized Skin.<br />
They don't only do sponges for your face but also your body and there's even a baby sponge.<br />
<br />
The sponges are available in in Ireland over on <a href="http://beautyemporium.ie/index.php/brands/konjac-sponges.html" target="_blank">BeautyEmporium </a>& also over on the <a href="http://www.konjacspongecompany.com/" target="_blank">KonjacSpongeWebsite</a><br />
<br />
If you have hyper-sensitive skin like me and are looking for something that you won't react to then I think that this could be your solution.<br />

I am so excited that <a href="http://www.essence.eu/en/beauty-news/breaking-dawn.html#" target="_blank">Essence</a> are joining up with Summit/Lionsgate to bring the official Twilight "Breaking Dawn Part 2" make-up collection because it means that it will be available here in Ireland (for once) <br />
Normally the Twilight make up is never easily available over here whereas Essence Make-up is available in Penny's (Primark) and pharmacies nationwide ;-) <br />
<br />
I really like Essence make-up, my favourite being the nail polish. With a top coat it actually does last and seriously who can argue with the prices? It's SO affordable<br />
<br />

<br />
I've only just realised how appropriate the title of this mini book is for this blog.
<br />
<br />
The hilarious thing is that it was made long before I renamed the blog (or even thought about renaming it)
<br />
<br />
I made this back in April at a class I attended by the lovely Mandy. It is VERY different to her original minibook (you can see a bit of Mandy's one HERE) but I'm delighted with how it turned out, especially after saying to Eva (who did the class with me) that I was totally NOT into vintage at all, boy was I wrong ;-}

<br />
I recently discover the Tim Holtz App and wanted to tell you about it. Yes Tim Holtz has an App, doesn't everyone?<br />
Here's a look at what you see on the main home page where you can access his blog/facebook/twitter at the touch of a button. You can also see on the calendar where in the world Tim is but my favourite part of this app has got to be the products & wishlist sections<br />

The thing that's so handy about this is that you can keep track of what products you have and you will never make a repeat purchase again! When you click into the products section you see the screen on the left and then when you click into one of the different sections you can see all the different products. If you have a product just click the arrow on the left and it turns green if it's a product you want click on the heart on the right and it automatically adds it to the wishlist. Oh another really handy thing is you can email your wishlist to people. You know with Christmas coming and all Santa needs to know what you want right?</div>

Another really useful part is the video section where you can check out different demos by Tim. There's also an "About" page and a really useful QR reader (which is always handy to have)<br />

I'm not a fan of fake nails. I used to love them. I do love how they look (when they're natural and don't look fake that is) but my own nails have been ruined SO many times with nail glue that I haven't used them in years.<br />
<br />
Then the other day I spotted Impress Nails in my local pharmacy. I had seen them advertised but I had my doubts about how durable they would be but decided to give them a go.<br />
<br />
They're around the same price as you'd pay for other brands of fake nails, the patterned ones are €10 and plain ones are €8 and they come in a really good range of colours and designs. I'm sure there's something to suit everyone's taste.<br />
<br />
SO what did I think of them......................<br />

<br />
First I prepped my nails as instructed on the pack.<br />
The nails themselves were SUPER easy to apply (no messing with glue). They have a little glue tab on the back of each nail and you just peel off the backing and stick the nail on. So quick and easy.<br />
<br />
The fit of them is perfect. I'm pretty sure that every nail shape in catered for.<br />
I ended up filing them down a bit because the edge was a bit too square for me but they felt very comfortable and I was really happy with how they looked.<br />
<br />
It says on the packaging that they would last a week, being honest, for me they didn't & I did follow the instructions about how to prepare my nails beforehand. Two days after I applied them, one of them came off. No hassle though I had another nail in the same size so I just replaced it and carried on.<br />
The day after that (3 days after applying them) another one came off (a different one this time). I was lucky enough to have another spare nail in the same size so reapplied that one.<br />
And once again the 4th day another nail fell off but this time I didn't have one to replace it with so ended up taking all of them off.<br />
<br />
The remainder of the nails came off easily and didn't damage my nails underneath. I didn't have to soak them in nail polish remover but having said that the nails that were left were secure and would have probably stayed on for another day or 2.<br />
<br />
I wasn't doing anything other than day to day stuff. Showering, washing my hair, doing the dishes (wearing gloves btw) nothing that was too hard on my nails so that's not why they came off and I have seen other people rave about these and how they DO last a week for them so I'm not sure if maybe I got a faulty pack or something.<br />
<br />
I will definitely give them another go. They are a little bit pricey for everyday use. I think for a special occasion they would be perfect (e.g. a wedding).<br />
<br />
And one other "little" thing (and this is so minor, I'm just a fusspot) but the nails I got (as you can see above) is a kind of french manicure with a little design on it.<br />
I found that you could see the glue showing down around the nail bed area and it looked like I hadn't applied the nail down near enough to my nail bed. You can "kind of" see it in the pics above but it was more obvious in reality.I don't know if that was just a fault with the set that I got or not. Like I said I'm being a fuss pot. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 130%;"><b>PROS:</b></span> Quick and easy to apply, they look good, fit great and didn't damage my nails underneath<br />
<span style="font-size: 130%;"><b>CONS: </b></span>They're a little expensive if you want to wear them everyday and (for me) didn't last a week.<br />
<br />
So after all that, would I buy them again: <span style="font-size: 130%;"><b>YES</b></span> definitely but I think I'd keep them for occasion wear rather than everyday wear.<br />
<br />

Also what I LOVE about Eva's classes is that she always gives you 2 sheets of each patterned paper in the kit so I still have some more of this yummy paper left over to use.<br />

If you haven't done one of Eva's classes yet then you need to. I guarantee you will learn something new and promise you will end up with a beautiful project at the end.<br />
I have 2 other classes (April & June) that I have to put the finishing touches to and I'll post them up as soon as I have them finished.<br />
<br />
I also have another mini book from a class I did waaaaaaaaay back in April (I think) that IS finished, I just have to photograph it. Keep an eye out for that it'll be up soon.Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00284237669431682544noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7331779375444064653.post-13348386080551826802012-05-20T21:12:00.002+01:002016-03-06T14:10:51.160+00:00Have You Tried The Clarisonic Mia?So back in March I finally gave in and bought myself a Clarisonic.<br />
I had a voucher from Christmas for Amazon and I had been eying up a Clarisonic since last year but thought that it was too expensive.<br />
I had heard SO many good things about it but had also seen cheaper imitations so I was torn over which to get. In the end (because I had the voucher and had read varying reviews about the imatations) I went with the Clarisonic.<br />

<br />
I bought it from Amazon but it was through a shop on Amazon because Amazon don't deliver the Clarisonic to Ireland. This happens with a few products on Amazon (mainly electrics products in my experience). Now there are other websites you can order the Clarisonic from but like I said I had a voucher so i wanted to stick with Amazon.<br />
The shop I ordered it from was <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Clarisonic-Mia-Pink/dp/B0057RRBHQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&m=A11CHM38N0GQVT&s=drugstore&qid=1337540918&sr=1-1" target="_blank">Escentual.com</a> and I would highly recommend them. I ordered on a Wednesday and I received my Clarisonic on a Friday morning and they also threw in a free perfume sample. I know it's only something small but I like little touches like that. So i would definitely recommend ordering from them.<br />
The Clarisonic with them is €150. I KNOW it's expensive.<br />
<br />
Now I know the question you're asking is.............Is it worth the money?<br />
<br />
WELL in MY opinion YES!<br />
Before owning one myself I was a bit reluctant to spend that much money on a beauty product but since I got the Clarisonic the texture of my skin improved from the very first use.<br />

<br />
The one I purchased was the Clarisonic Mia in blue (it comes in a variety of different colours) and comes with a sensitive brush head and a Clarisonic Gentle Hydro Cleanser (which I haven't used). I use it with my regular cleanser, morning and night.<br />
<br />
I heard so many people saying good things about it and wondered if it could really be as good as they were all saying and it really is.<br />
SO if you are "thinking" about getting one I would say stop thinking and purchase it, you won't regret it.<br />
<br />
One thing I will say before you purchase, check out the differences between the Clarisonic Mia & the Clarisonic Original. The Mia is more of a travel version and slightly cheaper than the original version BUT with the original version you can purchase brushes for your body too so decide on what you want to use your Clarisonic for before you purchase.<br />
The Mia suited my needs best but I have to admit I do wish you could get the body brushes for it.<br />
Other than that I totally love it and would not be without it now.Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00284237669431682544noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7331779375444064653.post-76425311465933021562012-05-05T16:15:00.002+01:002016-05-27T17:43:37.163+01:00Scrapbooking Limerick ClassSO last month I went to the very first "Scrapbooking Limerick" Class which is run by my friend Eva.<br />
It was a great day where I got to meet loads of crafty women.<br />
We got a fabulous kit, did a great class and even got lunch all for the brilliant price of €25.<br />
You can see the Layout I made from the class below.<br />
Because the class was around Easter that was the theme and I decided to use this pic of my Aunt (taken last year) in her Easter Bonnet. They were having an Easter Bonnet competition at the day care center that she used to go to.<br />
<br />
I love how it turned out.<br />

<br />
Also we had the lovely Kate from <a href="http://createwithkate.gostorego.com/" target="_blank">Create with Kate</a> there with her shop :-D<br />
I was very good and just made one small purchase (I did make up for it a couple of weeks later though, I'll tell you about that in a separate blog post)<br />
I totally fell for this Bo Bunny Mini Album when I saw it (though I don't have A CLUE what I'm going to do with it)<br />

I'm loving the Special Edition Boxes but the OCD in me is not liking that the boxes are different colours and now none of my boxes match ;-} I know.....I just like things matching, so shoot me.<br />
<br />
Anyway this is what the Harrods Special Edition <a href="http://www.glossybox.co.uk/invitation/MjA5MDE=?utm_source=Customers&utm_medium=link&utm_term=MjA5MDE=&utm_campaign=Refer-a-friend/" target="_blank">Glossy Box</a> looked like..........<br />

And this is what it looked like inside........<br />

<br />
First thing that caught my eye in the box was the <span class="uppercase">Leighton Denny </span>High Performance Nail Colour in the shade Honey Trap.<br />
I was a bit disappointed when I saw this because I got a <span class="uppercase">Leighton Denny polish in one of my other </span><a href="http://www.glossybox.co.uk/invitation/MjA5MDE=?utm_source=Customers&utm_medium=link&utm_term=MjA5MDE=&utm_campaign=Refer-a-friend/" target="_blank">Glossy Boxes</a><span class="uppercase"> and only used it once as I didn't like how it went on BUT I gave this one a go anyway because the colour is such a me colour. I love beigey brown nail polish and I have to say this one was totally different to the last one I had. I absolutely LOVED it.<br />I don't know if it was the way I applied the other polish that made it go on funny so I'm going to give it another go because there was no issues with this one I loved everything about it. The way it went on the colour and ESPECIALLY that it lasted nearly a week without chipping. Long lasting polish is always important to me.</span><br />
The second thing in the box was this Revive Intensive Creme which I haven't tried yet so I can't say what it's like, other than it feels nice on my hand.<br />
One of the reasons I haven't tried it yet is because I'm afraid I'll like it too much and there is no way I could afford to buy the full size product at <b>£235 </b>for a 60ml<span class="small"></span> tub.<br />
And to be honest even if I could afford it I would NOT spend that kind of money on a cream.<br />

<br />
Next up is this Bliss Body Butter (Blood Orange & Black Pepper).<br />
I saw various reactions to the smell of it online and people either loved it or hated it. There's no in between with this.<br />
As for me I LOVED the smell of it and the actual butter itself left my skin feeling and looking GORGEOUS.<br />
<br />
And just to make sure that my body is looking super gorgeous for all the summer weather that we are going to get {giggles} I also got a Clarins Extra Firming Body Cream.<br />
Well what can you say about Clarins? It's a good old reliable that does exactly what it says on the tube.<br />

<br />
And last but certainly not least is this Versace Perfume. I don't know what I can say about it other than it is DIVINE. I don't fall in love with many perfumes but this one OMG. I actually looked it up straight away to see if I could afford to buy it and was so excited to see that it was perfectly affordable and then I looked at how much it would cost to ship it my heart sank. The shipping was nearly as much as the perfume itself so my head was telling me that was not a good purchase but my heart was telling me that I loved it so much.<br />
So I looked around here to see if I could find somewhere selling it and I did find that Debenhams sell it but it's pretty expensive (nearly the same as if I was to purchase it from Harrods and get it shipped) SO it'll have to wait till...... I don't know when, but it's definitely top of my list when it's time to purchase a new perfume.<br />
<br />
The bottle it came is SO cute and is a really decent size for a sample. It's only a 4.5ml but I've used it a lot and it still has load in it. It's not a spray bottle and as you know by now I hate the sample vials that you get but this is quite a chunky bottle and I love it.<br />

<br />
First up I got the <span class="uppercase">Como Shambhala </span>Invigorate Body Lotion. OMG this smells SO gorgeous and makes your skin feel fabulous. Definitely one of my favourites out of the box.<br />
Then there was the Paul Mitchell Round Trip which I haven't used yet because it's for curly hair and I've been wearing my hair straight but I can't wait to try it out on my curls.<br />
<br />

<br />
Next up is the BM Beauty Pure Mineral Eyeshadow. I'm glad I got the eyeshadow but would have preferred a different colour. I know some people got a pink and while I'm more of a brown/bronze girl myself I would have preferred the pink to the black BUT having said that's what <a href="http://www.glossybox.co.uk/invitation/MjA5MDE=?utm_source=Customers&utm_medium=link&utm_term=MjA5MDE=&utm_campaign=Refer-a-friend/" target="_blank">Glossy Box</a> is all about trying new things.<br />
The Duwop Venom Lip Gloss is the most gorgeous colour. Perfect for me. Exactly the colour I like and while the is a warning about it making your lips tingle I didn't really notice any tingling. I even saw some people online say that they had a reaction to it so I was nervous trying it because I seem to be Ultra senstive to things and react to everything BUT I'm glad to report that I had no reaction and LOVE this. It is another one of my favourites from the box.<br />

<br />
And last up I got this Dr Bronners Magic Soap. I've heard a lot of good things about this. One being that it's great for cleaning make-up brushes but I was a little disappointed to get it in my <a href="http://www.glossybox.co.uk/invitation/MjA5MDE=?utm_source=Customers&utm_medium=link&utm_term=MjA5MDE=&utm_campaign=Refer-a-friend/" target="_blank">Glossy Box</a> the only reason being that the RRP is £1.99 so that hardly makes it a luxury product.<br />

<br />
Overall I was pretty happy with my February <a href="http://www.glossybox.co.uk/invitation/MjA5MDE=?utm_source=Customers&utm_medium=link&utm_term=MjA5MDE=&utm_campaign=Refer-a-friend/" target="_blank">Glossy Box</a>. It wasn't one of my favourites of all time but I will make use of nearly all the products in it which in my mind makes it worth the money.<br />
<br />
If you want to try out <a href="http://www.glossybox.co.uk/invitation/MjA5MDE=?utm_source=Customers&utm_medium=link&utm_term=MjA5MDE=&utm_campaign=Refer-a-friend/" target="_blank">Glossy Box</a> for yourself Click <a href="http://www.glossybox.co.uk/invitation/MjA5MDE=?utm_source=Customers&utm_medium=link&utm_term=MjA5MDE=&utm_campaign=Refer-a-friend/" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: bold;">HERE</span></a> for more infoKatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00284237669431682544noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7331779375444064653.post-87783993065780295532012-04-11T11:46:00.010+01:002013-03-21T17:51:18.957+00:00What I Got In My January GlossyboxYes I know it's April and I'm now only loading what I got in my January <a href="http://www.glossybox.co.uk/invitation/MjA5MDE=?utm_source=Customers&utm_medium=link&utm_term=MjA5MDE=&utm_campaign=Refer-a-friend/" target="_blank">Glossy Box</a> {blush}<br />
I actually nearly didn't even bother doing it because I'm so late but as I had the pics taken I said I might as well.<br />
First of all I need to tell you what happened with my December Box and why there are no pics of that.<br />
It's simple really...............I never got one.<br />
Yes the BEST box of the lot and I missed out! And I nearly missed out on this one too.<br />
<br />
Long story short I was skipped out on the pay run due to a technical error that <a href="http://www.glossybox.co.uk/invitation/MjA5MDE=?utm_source=Customers&utm_medium=link&utm_term=MjA5MDE=&utm_campaign=Refer-a-friend/" target="_blank">Glossy Box</a> had and even though they dispatched a free December box to me to make up for it I have yet to receive it (so I have given up on that at this stage).<br />
The same "error" was happening again with this box so I ended up receiving it pretty late (and that is partly my excuse for only putting this up now ;-)<br />
<br />
You may be asking why I still want to get <a href="http://www.glossybox.co.uk/invitation/MjA5MDE=?utm_source=Customers&utm_medium=link&utm_term=MjA5MDE=&utm_campaign=Refer-a-friend/" target="_blank">Glossy Box</a> after the amount of trouble I have had with it well........... I actually love trying the products in it and it's one of the only beauty boxes that deliver to Ireland.<br />
I really wish they would dispatch the Irish boxes first (to allow for the extra delay). I have been getting boxes since September last year and not once have I not known what's going to be in the box.<br />
It's never a surprise for me because we get them nearly 2 weeks AFTER the people in UK so it's all over the Internet before it arrives.<br />
Ok rant over ......on with the show.<br />
<br />
Let me tell you about the January <a href="http://www.glossybox.co.uk/invitation/MjA5MDE=?utm_source=Customers&utm_medium=link&utm_term=MjA5MDE=&utm_campaign=Refer-a-friend/" target="_blank">Glossy Box</a> (which was the Valentines Special) and what I received in mine<br />
<br />
First off to make it look EXTRA Valentiney they changed the box from light pink to a fuchsia pink (which I actually wish they'd keep!) and inside instead of the usual black paper there was....you guessed it PINK paper, it was super cute.<br />

<br />
<br />
First up I got this Eyko Skinny Eyeliner in Black. I was really happy with this because I needed a new eyeliner and this one goes on really nicely and stays on through out the day. If you notice in the pic above (of the contents of the box) the blue box is the eyeline. It's really long. The idea of that is so that you can use the eyeliner right down to the end. There's a handle on the end of it and you can pare the liner right down to the handle.<br />
While the idea is great in that nothing goes to waste the downside is because the eyeline is SO long it wouldn't fit into my makeup bag that I carry in my handbag.<br />
<br />
I also got Davines Authentic Formulas Cleansing Nectar which I haven't tried yet but look forward to trying because it's organic and natural and should be perfect for my sensitive skin!<br />

<br />
<br />
Next up I got Murads Skin Perfecting Primer. The colour of this wasn't quiet right for my skin but i'll experiment with it through the year as my skin colour changes through the summer. I like that it came in a handy pump bottle (rather than a sachet)<br />
<br />
The Davines Moisturising Balm smells SO gorgeous! You can use this on you face/ hair/ body.<br />
I don't think i'll be using it on my face but can't wait to try it on my hair and body.<br />

<br />
<br />
And finally I got this FAB (First Aid Beauty) Gentle Body Wash. Perfect for sensitive skin (which if you didn't know I HAVE). This feels lovely and left my skin feeling lovely and soft. I'm actually tempted to buy the full size of this!<br />
