Make Up Forever Is Indeed Professional :)

Hey Dolls :)
I'll start by just saying Happy 4th of July!!
So I passed by Make up Forever today on my way home from work, as I always do! I've never actually been in the store before which is surprising as I'am pretty much make up obsessed. So anyway I decided to go in today have a bit of a browse maybe, Lucky for me the one day I do decide to drop in there's a great promotion of 40% off all MUFE and Face products. A promotion for one day for the 4th of July so as you could imagine I  couldn't leave the shop empty handed.The staff where really helpful, and I didn't feel rushed at all like sometimes you can do with many high street retailers.The make up artist helped me pick lipstick colours to suit me and eyebrow pencils! She was really helpful and even popped a foundation sample in my bag, which might I add is the cutest bag ever! I tried the lipstick out Its an intense red, and It has a matte effect which I wanted as I feel it gives for a more dramatic look.I also purchased there brow blender pencil in chestnut, I really liked this pencil as it had a blend stick on the other side and the colour matches my eyebrows perfectly so It should add definition.Overall I was really impressed with my shopping experience and without a doubt I will be a returning customer! Oh and I'll get back to you about the make up sample I've yet to try it out.

Firstly I've got an new job working for a Parisian Designer launching here soon which I'm really excited about starting! I've finally got back in the studio singing after well what seems like a lifetime! Three years, Feel like I'm finally finding what I wanna do, and I'm more passionate about it now than ever!

I realized how much I love to sing again, and I don't want to give up again, feel like I'm finally ready to show people my voice and show them what i can do with my voice, and there's no going back now, I'll post up a song up really soon, So keep posted! :)

Company Magazine Blogging Forum!

Heeeey everybody!
So I've really had a crazy busy week this week which is why i haven't updated much! My apologies :) I just got back from London yesterday and I  had such a lovely few days away, I'm pretty unhappy about been home to be honest, but that's life eh.I love London, there's just an atmosphere to the city like no other an energy almost.While I was in London I attended Company Magazines Blogging Forum at Kings College.Without a doubt I had to go Company Magazine is my favorite magazine it's my bible! I really didn't know what to expect when going,It was pretty nerve wrecking to be honest walking in to a room full of people with out a familiar face,But I did and I'm really glad I went.

On arrival there was a bunch of very fashionable ladies at the reception, all fellow bloggers, fashion, lifestyle and music there was a blogger of every kind! I started to mingle a little and I met some really nice girls, It was really interesting hearing about other peoples blogs and there inspiration behind theirs.After chatting and drinking our champagne we went in to one of the colleges lecture rooms.The talk featured Susie Bubble, FashionRocksms,  Ohmylovelondon,  and representatives from Boohoo and Handpicked Media, as well as Company Magazines Editor Victoria White.It was really insightful and I felt I learned a lot about the blogging world! The primary piece of advice seemed to be that its quality of content over quantity, This was a piece of advice I feel I'll take on board most! Another piece of advice was really try not to be to repetitive and never compare your blog to others.For me this  is really important as I want my blog to represent me and not be repetitive and be like any one else's.After the lecture we got a chance to speak to some of the guest speakers, Susie Bubble who's blog is a favorite of mine to read was really nice and helpful answering many questions.I left Kings College that evening feeling informed, and ready to well take my blog to the next level, and I would definitely attend again, I made lots of new blogger friends and I got the best goodie bag ever too!! Bonus!

Transparent Bags Are A Must!?

Heeey Dolls! So I've had a really hectic week! Sorry about my lack of updating! So transparent bags they seem to be every where, and well you either love them or you hate them! The trend really isn't for everybody! I recently went to a party, and while most people loved my new silver/transparent Forever 21 bag others quite simply couldn't understand it, asking but why every one can see what you have in your bag! Me? personally I love them! I think there really different and very on trend! Every shop seems to be selling them from Forever21, Bershka, to online fashion store's such as Nastygal, they all seem to be doing different versions from clutch bags to totes!There only fault for me is keeping your bag tidy at all times! which is easier said than done!Here are a few of my favourite high street ones I've seen recently,and give them ago they are making a statement! But sure be brave thats what fashion is all about!

Bonnie and Cylde Loughton

I was in Essex recently on a trip to London, While I was there I did some shopping on Loughton High Rd, I came across a gem of a shop Bonnie and Cylde! It really is the smallest and cutest shop I've come by, definitely a girly girls paradise, With reasonable price's and lovely stock it really does stand out on Loughton high st! I bought a few pieces of jewellery, and also a dress and top, all of which are unique and I love!The dress is on trend with the black and white tie dye effect and the t shirt is taking a Gothic influence. The staff were really nice and helpful, I'd definitely recommend a visit if your even passing through Essex!

IFI Irish Film Institute

Heeeey Peeps!
So I don't know about you, But I'm always looking for new cool things to do in Dublin.I was strolling threw the city yesterday I walked by the Irish Film Institute in Temple Bar, and they were having there annual open day! While I have been to the IFI before it has been a few years since I have been, I forgot how cool it really is, There's so many different types of films for all cinematic tastes! It's such a cool and relaxing environment and,They also have a lovely Cafe Bar and Film shop too where you can buy dvds.They also do memberships that are really reasonable prices.I think this may be my new place to relax and watch a really cool cultural film, and with the weather in Ireland, well been so unreliable.I couldn't think of a cooler way to spend a rainy afternoon with some friends!

Bobbi Brown Review

Hey Dolls :)
So I thought for my first Beauty review I would review Bobbi Browns Long Wear Even Finish Foundation, and also Bobbi Browns Creamy Concealer Kit.

Like many ladies in there twenties,I'm always trying to find the next best foundation,or the one that's going to give me that amazing flawless finish.I must admit I don't think any of them are ever going to make me have as clear of complexion as Mila Kunis! But I must say Bobbi Brown's Long Wear Even Finish does exactly what it says.If your looking for a good foundation with a medium coverage this is the foundation for you.I like I'm sure many girls do, can be prone to break outs and for me this is the first foundation I have used in a while that allows my skin to breath.It has a light natural tone and rather than using a foundation that's full coverage, this allows you to cover areas that are needed and still keep it fresh and light.It also has an SPF 15 which is a must also for those sunny days!

Since tying Bobbi Brown's Foundation, I have since started trying other products of theirs, such as this Natural Creamy Concealer Kit.For me this is a life saver on those mornings you need some help for those dark circles! It a creamy based product and there also a powder that goes over the creamy concealer to allow it to set.It's so compact and tidy and there also a little mirror inside which is always a bonus! I couldn't recommend this product any more, for me its giving me that fresh youthful look on a daily basis! I hope you have as good as an experience with there products as I have!
Check Out the Bobbi Brown Website for other products etc.

Isabel Marant Pour H&M

Isabel Marant Pour H&M

 The biggest Fashion headline that seem to buzzing about yesterday is that H&M the Swedish High Street Store announced There latest collaboration will be with Parisian designer Isabel Marant. I'm along with the rest of the fashion industry I'm sure really excited to see what the designer who s knowing for creating a style that's urban yet effortless brings to H&M.Isabel has said "The collection is infused with this kind of easiness attitude, everything can be mixed following ones instincts.My take on fashion is all about personality"The designer will now join a list of other collaborators such as Lanvin, Stella Mc Cartney and Karl Legarfield. I'm sure there will a large Parisian influence in her designs that will bring a genuine French allure.I think its brillant how H&m collaborate with Designers to make a collection for the high street that the average woman that is fashion forward can afford.The Collection will be in 250 stores on the 14th of November 2013, and there will be both a female and male collection, that will feature both clothing and accessories.

Gotta Make My Own Luck

So Just when I was quite literally giving up on this thing called "good luck" I got an email that brought the biggest smile on my face! I was starting to get use to my constant frown lately, felt like the world was against me and my constant efforts to further my career where just never been noticed.I actually think my usual positive spirit had completely faded! But today theirs no way I'm letting anyone ruin my good news! Finally after months of trying to get a step on the ladder its happened! Sometimes you just need to have a bit of faith in both your self and the universe.So from now on I'm gonna try keep my hopes high, and have a little faith! After all I wouldn't start wearing  flats just because I got an uncomfortable pair of heels once! So why would I give up on my hopes and dreams just because I hit a bump along the road!
