M.I.A... Where have you been?!

If any of you have noticed I have been Missing in Action on my blog for a short while and I am very sorry! 

Since my last post was my Holiday Post, I have got back and had a busy busy few weeks. I got back and I'm sure you all know how hectic it is when you come home from holidays! Washing..Tidying..Unpacking..More washing.. you get the jist!

So along with all the post-holiday blues I then had to prepare for my return to University after the summer. That has been a stressful process choosing subjects etc., so honestly I just have had no time to blog, which I really did miss. :( 

But here I am now, typing my new post, so this is a good sign! I hope to blog as often as I can, and juggle my studies aswell! But I am looking forward to all the excitement in the blogging world leading up to Christmas! I do love Christmas!



Tell me what your most looking forward to this Christmas and this Autumn/Winter.
I love all the Christmas inspired products and all the gift sets in some of my favourite shops like The Body Shop and Boots! *Que the upcoming Hauls*!!!

It's HOLIDAY TIME!

This is just a short blog post to let you all know that I am off on my holidays for 2 weeks and I won't be uploading any blog posts, while I'm away. I hope you all have a nice few weeks, whatever you're doing, but I for one, definitely need this break away.
I will have some holiday related blog posts up when I'm home, so you can look forward to them!

Feel free to contact me on Twitter or on by email, and I will get back to you, as soon as I can.

Beauty Swap with Mel! (PART 2)

Following on from Part 1, here are the rest of the goodies I got sent from Mel....


  1. Essie- Fiji / LOOK Beauty-Nail Pop¦ Bling
This combo has been my "go-to"nails this summer. Essie's Fiji was one I had be longing to get for a while now, and was so pleasantly surprised to see it in package! I'm sure most of you know what it looks like, but it is just a lovely milky baby pink. With a few coats it has lasted me a week, (and that's without a top coat!) This is my 1st nail polish from Essie and it does live up to its estimation in my opinion! Definitely worth the hype, and I can't wait to try more of their shades!
Essie 'Fiji', and 'Bling' (ring finger).


Bling, from LOOK Beauty with a few coats, is a really pretty intense glittery colour. The pink glitter, used as a top coat on any nail polish or on its own, is really pretty. I love the above combo! Again a wise choice from Mel as LOOK Beauty can't be got in Ireland.


       2. Impress Nails- Press-on Manicure¦ KISS& TELL 


Again another hyped about product, which I as yet haven't tried. These Impress Nails are raved about and I am looking forward to trying. I do sometimes like the look of false nails, but feel if not filed down, can look too obvious and "false", a look I don't like. I also dislike the thought of the nail glue on your nail bed, so these press on ones are right up my street! I'll let you know how I get on with them!


       3. NYX- Matte Lip Cream¦ Antwerp

I have not used this yet, but from the below swatch you can see how pigmented it is. It is a bright pinky/red lip cream, which is velvety to touch. I am looking forward to using this bright colour, to add a pop of brightness to any look. It is actually coming off quite red in the image but it is more pink than it looks!



LEFT- Yogurt. RIGHT- Antwerp


         4. NYX- Jumbo Eye Pencil¦ Yogurt

This NYX Eye pencil i haven't got to use yet either but is a nice taupe/champagne/pink-pearl colour, and I hope to use it as a base for a smokey eye, or on its own for a more neutral eye makeup look. I will let you know how I get on with them, as always, but I am excited to try the Jumbo Eye Pencils, which are literally loved all over the beauty community!
