Finally, I’m putting this post
up. I’ve been saying for ages I was going to upload a post of my recent trip to
Amsterdam, and by ages I mean about 2 weeks! So at the end of March we headed
off to Amsterdam. I had always wanted to go, so for Valentine’s Day I booked
the flights for myself and Stephen (this was more a present for myself!). I’m a
wagon for choosing the earliest flight so we flew out at 6:16 am and arrived in Amsterdam
at about 9 am. The issue with this is that you can’t actually check in to most
hotels until after 1 pm.</div>

By the time we got out of the
airport and onto the train, it was about 11 am by the time we got to Amsterdam
central. From here we got a bus to our hotel which was literally up the road. Thank
god for google maps because otherwise we would have been completely lost. <o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Top Tip:</b> If you’re getting the train from the airport to Amsterdam
Central, you will need a lot of change, as the ticket machines don’t accept

a door in between a row of shops, and chanced our arm at checking in, or at
least dumping our bags somewhere! I was completely taken a back by the fun house
stairs up to the reception (these stairs really weren’t fun), there was no
mention of this on the website or booking.com. Luckily when we got to the
reception we were told our room was the only room unoccupied last night and we
were able to check in straight away. Unluckily, we were told to get to our room
we had to go back down stairs, turn right and find the other door about 5 shops
up. This had MORE stairs up to it and we were on the fourth floor. I was so out
of breath and tired by the time we got upstairs that I needed a little nap. I think
I ended up sleeping until about 4 pm when Stephen woke me up and said we <i>had </i>to
go exploring. Our room was fine, a bed, a bathroom, a TV – by fine I mean this
was the deluxe room and there was nothing deluxe about it, the TV didn’t work
and it was a little cramped. Other than the stairs, the cramped room and the TV
that didn’t work (who needs a TV anyway), we were in the perfect location. If you
don’t mind walking up 4 flights of steep stairs everyday then I would recommend
this hotel, it is in such an ideal location and didn’t break the bank (€300 for
3 nights). If you want to find out more information you can visit the website <a href="https://hotel-labellevue.com/">here</a>.<o:p></o:p></div>

We had been told by a few
different people to pick up a tram card because we’d need one… we didn’t, we
walked everywhere, like literally everywhere. The weather was perfect and its
mainly all flat (apart from walking over certain bridge’s) so it’s easy to walk

there’s museums around every corner. Everything from cheese museums to sex museums.
We tried to fit as much in as we could. We ended up doing Madame Tussauds, the
Ice Bar and the Sex Museum on Tuesday. We were out for the whole day, but we were
kept so busy. I wasn’t a massive fan of Madame Tussauds, I had been to the one
in New York and Stephen had been to the one in London so I think we both had
high expectations. I think the best part of our trip was the Ice Bar. For €16
you get two drinks inside and one cocktail in the lounge area, and the cocktails
are delish.<o:p></o:p></div>

Heineken experience and then walked back towards the Anne Frank house. The queue
was massive so we couldn’t go in unfortunately. We had been to the Guinness Storehouse
at Christmas and we both felt that the Guinness tour was better, even though
the Heineken Experience was really interactive. It cost €16 each and I had booked
the tickets before we left Ireland. That night we went for a stroll down the
red light district and went for a drink beside the canals.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Our last day was the Thursday,
and our flight wasn’t until after 9 pm that evening so we left our bags at the
hotel and went off to do a bit more exploring, and shopping. We ended up doing
the prostitute museum and taking another stroll up the red light district
during the day. It felt like we were literally trying to kill time and there really
wasn’t anything else for us to do. I wanted to visit the zoo while we were here
but we couldn’t do this on the last day as it would take too long to do and get
back from.<o:p></o:p></div>

I really felt like we had done

love me. I always get weary about eating abroad as it might not react well with
me, and to be honest it's not just aboard I get that fear at home also. The food
in Amsterdam is sort of like at home, there seemed to be a lot of Italians and
steakhouses. On our first day we went to a little café and I had salmon which
was delish. The second day we had a pizza which was fine, but I couldn’t finish
it. And on our last evening Stephen found this lovely Argentinian restaurant. I
was so weary, because I thought I wouldn’t like a thing on the menu, but it was
a steakhouse. It was delicious, really really well done and the perfect cut.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
If you’re like me and eating
abroad scares you, there is nothing to worry about in Amsterdam. Plus they seem
to be mad about pancakes, pancakes everywhere (their version of pancakes are
our version of Crepes).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Overall I had such a lovely trip
and was knackered once I got back. We ended up doing so much walking and fit in
so much more than I could have ever imagined. I would 100% recommend you visit,
but book stuff in advance as it can work out cheaper and look at the reviews
before you book accommodation! In terms of cash, it is expensive, but that was because
we went to so many different sights.</div>

<img alt="" id="id_52de_c0a2_638c_6266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUPogdjOz7Kmr-twsoecq1YW5sCDObKffx8Wfa-JjEGa54vnDOyPSg8L0aVhWTgYm6t_kavR2bY_EEECrv1IPb91UxOUlwZWqCzftHf3ibshhLVqpTW2ObaWl8ogpWJY74zcNcZ4pMPV0/" style="height: auto; width: 353px;" title="" tooltip="" /> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I recently was gifted the Too Faced Shadow Insurance to try and test. I've tried big brand primers before, including Smashbox and Dermalogica. I was doubtful as to how long this product would last, as other eye-shadow primers (and primers in general) have let me down after a couple of hours.</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="" id="id_757e_d850_6698_a0e3" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMrq9XEG2rGOM5N-Y9oBeJarUSZETwiR0yQ3cY3RygN9L88iqsqySSHeccn0b7CC7vaQ9hHnOXrCSbo6-3iZOngfikNuU1UvPxnV9vj6nVFVIUI-P95YeBlRCa14ZjEWM67l8_tvbszxs/" style="height: auto; width: 353px;" title="" tooltip="" /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I put it to test for my sisters 30th birthday. First thought was it was a bit too wet for my liking and would probably crease my eye-shadow straight away. It's tinted, so I didn't need to apply a little bit of colour to my lids, like I usually would need to. The primer instantly dried onto my lids and I was able to apply my shadow straight away. I've been using a Revolution palette ever since I purchased it in London at the start of the year, and using it with the Two Faced Shadow Insurance really made the colours pop... like really. The colours blended really naturally also, which usually takes a good bit of blending to happen. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was rushed out the door at 8pm (so I never got to take a before picture), we had dinner and drinks in a crammed, roasting hot pub (the rugby was on so it was even more jam packed), and my eye-shadow lasted all night. I was very surprised, as big name brands haven't been as successful with me. I have extremely sensitive eyes, and the slightest breeze makes my eyes become a tap! I came home with perfect lids, and not a single crease or white patch. The rest of my face wasn't so lucky. </div>
</div>
<div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" id="id_4543_828a_c1ce_90b2" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyf662sLj8z_Ezx2noKQXRm0WO03Q1ux1U0BTcsB2XXOGrVYduB_JWyqQJbBzv3vGTcvo4u8Kjy50ch_KCMjuhiYVejLlvaSr6v895wgfoT1AMOBewKWsC-qM1aKq7K2YWS4u5wKHCkb8/" style="height: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 353px;" title="" tooltip="" /></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Picture taken at 2:30am - after one too many glasses of wine</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall, I would definitely recommend this! At €20 it's a bit pricey, but if you want to ensure your eye make-up stays intact all night I would highly recommend you head down to your local stockist and pick this up. Now if I could find a primer that make the rest of my face last all night as well. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let me know if you have any recommendations for good primers or if you have tried the Two Faced Shadow Insurance...</div>

Happy Christmas! I hope everyone had a fantastic day spent with family and friends. I know this year may have been tough for many families, but trust me it gets better. I had such a quiet day spent with my family and dogs. As we've all grown older, Christmas sort of becomes another day, with an amazing dinner. This year was no different, we went to Mass, then onto the grave and then back home for way too much food. Have you ever eaten so much you feel drunk....from the food? Well, that's what happened to me! I literally spent the day in my onsie (it's a Minnie Mouse one by the way), watching TV and eating a tin of heroes. I also napped a good bit during the day.</div>

On Stephens Day, myself and the girls had planned to go to the races in Lepordstown, but did anyone else see that weather? It was disgusting. We ended up leaving it and went for lunch, had wine and played board games all day instead. Now this is where my rant begins, we went for lunch in a local pub and all that was being serving was pizzas and toasties. This was fine because obviously it was Stephens Day whats the point in bringing in a chef for a few hours? So we ordered a pizza each.... €10... TEN EURO for a Dr Oetker pizza... You know the ones they sell frozen in Tesco for €2.50? Yes those ones. The boy that served us was also extremely rude. Needless to say I was severely unimpressed! It didn't ruin my day though. I had a fantastic day with the girls and we exchanged our Christmas presents. I was off work on the Saturday and back in Sunday morning, so I took it fairly easy. It was so nice to have a few days off and spend it with the people that I love, as cheesy as that sounds! </div>

I knew exactly what it was and I was so excited to use my new product. <a href="https://www.mondss.com/" target="_blank">Mondss Underarm Wear</a> is a breakthrough product helping you to wear the clothes you love without sweating all over them (basically). The product itself is the strangest looking thing ever and when I first heard about it I was extremely skeptical. All I can say is this product reminded me of a sanitary towel, and the girls and I had a good giggle about attaching a sanitary towel to my arm pit. </span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjixCTLIzbjoW_MIDAKUyH-4TcsdQsnFg7380yyR1CammAqOwSvd6J7LbYOlDallw1VFRQqqkqQ_9fPwF-O7sHK027X_fFwpRCMyIzIX4a78YEEc7oKC9AD3i3OWLrQ-jePSSIP4K8bZKc/s1600/P1010613.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjixCTLIzbjoW_MIDAKUyH-4TcsdQsnFg7380yyR1CammAqOwSvd6J7LbYOlDallw1VFRQqqkqQ_9fPwF-O7sHK027X_fFwpRCMyIzIX4a78YEEc7oKC9AD3i3OWLrQ-jePSSIP4K8bZKc/s1600/P1010613.JPG" height="143" width="200" /></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I waited for the perfect day to try these out... One that I knew I would be a sweaty mess. My day off from work arrived and I had planned on washing my hair, changing my bed sheets, cleaning my car and scrubbing my room. All things I hate doing because I get to hot doing them. The application seemed pretty easy but my left pit took a bit longer than expected and I had to use 3 different pieces before getting it perfect. After doing all my tasks though, I didn't have any sweat patches which I was happy with and I didn't smell which is alway a positive. I met the girls for lunch and they were so inquisitive as to what I was wearing on my arm pit. The fact I wore these out of my house shows how discrete this product actually is. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXXN6TPjmtTZTaS12evRY7VobNmxi19c_jGXqdvd4PIuyf9iXaXir1Sm0rikI_bhuimfTmhmggk1BaMZ1KJcNgP5RHM0tXDTCXcfFofyICcArfssGuCvzcLiX1B46jZwYtSChyphenhyphenAWEsd2k/s1600/P1010607.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXXN6TPjmtTZTaS12evRY7VobNmxi19c_jGXqdvd4PIuyf9iXaXir1Sm0rikI_bhuimfTmhmggk1BaMZ1KJcNgP5RHM0tXDTCXcfFofyICcArfssGuCvzcLiX1B46jZwYtSChyphenhyphenAWEsd2k/s1600/P1010607.JPG" height="320" width="174" /></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Unfortunately the removal part is a lot harder than expected. I was left with "plaster" marks on my arm pit... I used everything recommended to remove the adhesive residue but nothing has worked. Even now, almost 3 weeks after using Mondss I'm still left with a slight residue. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Overall, Mondds is a completly different product, one that I would never have considered before. Unfortunately you can only wear Mondss for 4-6 hours, so if you're out and about all day you'll need to bring a change. You also need to wait a few hours after shaving before use, and you must be shaved to use, so if you're in a rush not very ideal. These cost €9.99 for a pack of 10 so probably not ideal for everyday use, but they're more so designed for special occasions, job interviews, if you're wearing something you don't want to be ruined by aerosols or a horrible yellow sweat patch. Unfortunately the adhesive residue was a huge turn off for me so I probably wouldn't rush back to using them. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So, I'm really into my skin care regime at the moment... and when I say I'm into my skin care regime I mean I cleanse, tone and moisturise every night. So, yeah I'm really into my skincare regime! I recently bought a Boots own brand brightening toning water, mainly because it was half price... I do love a bargain! This was also a time delay product, so I of course had to buy it, I don't want to get old. It was only €3.34 so I didn't mind paying for it, but if it was €6.68, full price, then there would be no chance.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc-GIlrwcJXVRVt30McFqtP0PaF9oXKb0E7aw4X3lDLK5iNQ4CQ5NbrD3z2Ojo0fkA4dxgNzQ-wx9cdc-MCfyiGfGZA1_VNysL-efAZDXmmvASLof5yK5a_yqufTmGImXQHHreCTigSMM/s1600/P1010531.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc-GIlrwcJXVRVt30McFqtP0PaF9oXKb0E7aw4X3lDLK5iNQ4CQ5NbrD3z2Ojo0fkA4dxgNzQ-wx9cdc-MCfyiGfGZA1_VNysL-efAZDXmmvASLof5yK5a_yqufTmGImXQHHreCTigSMM/s1600/P1010531.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The product itself doesn't smell really harsh, which is good, but then again it doesn't really smell like anything. It just pores out as apposed to most liquid skin care products which squeeze out, so the majority of this ended up on my bedroom floor. On the back of the bottle it states that it contains antioxidants that help protect the skin against signs of aging, it evens skin tone and even tightens pore leaving "skin looking healthy". So the tightening pores part; it didn't tighten my pores and more so blocked them. After about a week of using this product every night I realised how spotty my skin had become. I wanted to reduce the signs of aging, not go back in time and become a 14 year old. I thought maybe this was the products way of getting the bad stuff out of my skin... wishful thinking right? But I continued to use it, until my skin became really itchy all the time and the spots never cleared. This was a clear sign that it didn't suit me and I had to stop using it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmXWYIhrJBf8zS0WXdyOmBqrfob9xvanAqOZsvMvPib0_xKm2vkVHH3n2gXAZ2ovsj7P-ASTwWrXsv4t1IKMQcouCsU3BrrPOv_Npi1XEP3KPFcKW5q39Z6kr66cfrTmvs1QmmedKHoZA/s1600/P1010527.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmXWYIhrJBf8zS0WXdyOmBqrfob9xvanAqOZsvMvPib0_xKm2vkVHH3n2gXAZ2ovsj7P-ASTwWrXsv4t1IKMQcouCsU3BrrPOv_Npi1XEP3KPFcKW5q39Z6kr66cfrTmvs1QmmedKHoZA/s1600/P1010527.JPG" height="320" width="252" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One thing that sort of freaked me out at first was that on the back of the bottle it says that it contains alpha hydroxy acid or AHA which can increase your skins sensitivity in the sun and that if you are using this product be sure to limit sun exposure. Now it was mid-March when I bought it so I thought nothing of it, Ireland only gets sun one week a year and I'm indoors the majority of the time anyway. This AHA thing might not freak other people out but it does freak me out. Being very fair anyway the slightest bit of sun and I become some sort of lobster creature so I like to keep my skin protected. That and the fact my mam recently had to get a sun damaged spot on her chest removed by laser, also freaks me out. The fact that Boots have a product that can increase damage to your skin from the sun irritates me. Especially a product which would be aimed towards older ladies. I may be taking this the complete wrong way but it still annoys me!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Overall the spots and the possibility of sun damage didn't really suit me, but that was just my opinion. I realistically won't be buying any more products from the Boots "Time Delay" range... sorry Boots.</span></div>

I have... or had fairly good skin back in my day. It's like I hit 22 and my skin became dried out, itchy and flaky, especially on my upper arms. I'm a huge Vaseline lover...like HUGE! I use it on my lips everyday to prevent them getting chapped, I put it on my fingernails and around my hairline when applying tan and I've even use it to help get piercings back in! It's so cheap you really can't go wrong. Vaseline, as a brand, have really made an impact on the beauty market. Think back to your childhood... Vaseline... what do you think? Me? I think of that huge tub that was found in the bathroom, but I never really knew what it was for, and I always presumed it was sort of like sudocream. How wrong I was! When Vaseline released their "Spray and Go" moisturiser I knew I needed it. At this point I already had a pot of Vaseline in every handbag I owned, was using a Vaseline deodorant and had tried their moisturiser. I'm one of these people that the more convenient it is the better. I tend to run late when meeting friends so I needed something like this product, but the price kept putting me off. But one day I bit the bullet and purchased my first can... And I haven't looked back since!</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A spray and go.... how perfect! I was so excited to use this, so excited that I basically jumped in the shower when I got home to test it out! As I sprayed I realised it wasn't really a spray and go product. You need to rub it in, as it can disperse a bit too much moisturiser. I was disappointed with this, but when I realised that once you rub it in you can literally get dressed my opinion changed. It doesn't make you feel slimy for the next 24 hours, but you know you have moisturised. I love the smell of cocoa butter too, I always think it's so refreshing and this scent is no different. It's a continuous spray too which means your not trying to squeeze it out of bottle with slippy hands. Honestly, since using this my skin feels so much smoother and my time-keeping has seriously improved! I'm on to my third bottle since my first purchase in May... which is pretty good considering it's 190ml and I'm using it everyday. For just over €6 it's well worth a purchase.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It comes containing three different main ingredients; aloe, cocoa and oat extract. Perfect for everyone out there.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've been really busy lately with work and other commitments but I'm back now, and I've really missed blogging!</span></div>

I hate being pale any time of the year. I haven't put tan on in over three weeks so I'm ridiculously pale, well at least I was up until yesterday! A few months ago I purchased St Tropez gradual tan, it was on special offer so I'm pretty sure it only cost around €8.00. I love using gradual tans during the summer because it feels like its a natural tan build up, as opposed to looking like Casper the friendly ghost one day and then Nicole Scherzinger the next day. I applied this tan last night before I went to bed and it seemed so easy to apply and dries in really quickly. It's not really a tan you would sleep in and more so one that you would apply during the day and it develops as you work away! It doesn't smell overwhelming so no one would even know your wearing tan. As its an aerosol a few sweeps and your done basically, well that's what I thought anyway. I sprayed this over my chest and arms last night and thought that I got everywhere, but obviously not. I woke up this morning with patches all over my arms. For a gradual tan I thought it would appear more even. It's a bit dark for a gradual tan to be honest, which sometimes isn't a bad thing! It was easy to fix my mistakes this morning with a few more sweeps over the parts that I missed and a bit of blending.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Overall, as a gradual tan it's up there with one of the best that I've used. Compared to using body lotion with a gradual tan in them this seemed to suit me better. It contains aloe which helps to keep your skin smooth and it has a refreshing smell, as refreshing as a self tanner can be! From now on when I'm using it I'll be using a mitt to ensure its well blended, that way I can avoid looking like a brown zebra. I'm going to keep using this during the week for a natural looking tan... Goodbye Casper the Friendly Ghost!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Today's post is about <a href="http://www.goodthingsbeauty.com/images/our_products/pop_up/total_wipe_out_cleansing_wipes.html" target="_blank">Good Things Total Wipeout Cleansing wipes</a>. I love Good Things products, as you can see from my previous posts (<a href="http://frecklesandthefox.blogspot.ie/2013/07/good-things-deep-pore-anti-blemish.html" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="http://frecklesandthefox.blogspot.ie/2013/10/good-things-instant-dark-circles.html" target="_blank">here</a>). I love how refreshing they are and how well they work. Unfortunately they're stocked on the bottom shelf in Boots, so I tend to not notice their products or can't find them when I actually am looking for a specific product. However a few weeks ago, when I was shopping with my mam in Liffey Valley, I spotted that Boots were running a promotion on all skincare products. Anything with a shelf talker automatically gets me. I'm sold. I needed make-up wipes and I usually choose Boots own brand ones, which I would never, ever diss. Instead of my usual choice, I picked up 2 packets of the Good Things Total Wipeout makeup wipes. I was so excited to use these. </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>So, that night I used them for the first time. The scent when I opened the package smelt so fresh and fruity, the usual Good Things scent. The wipe itself is actually a lot thicker than others, which sort of makes it's harder to use. The wipe tends to roll easier, which is really annoying. I found they also don't remove nearly enough of my makeup. Complete disappointment to be honest. I've had such great experiences with this brand before, that I felt really let down. I saved a third on these so it wasn't as bad as paying full price (which is €2.23 in Boots), but I won't be picking them up again. The one good thing about these wipes, apart from the scent, is that they're biodegradable, which most makeup wipes aren't. That means they won't end up in some landfill destroying the earth! Overall I would not recommend these and won't be purchasing these again. </i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Recently I have been thinking more and more about my future, and a huge part of this is what will I be doing in the future? As most people know I graduated in November with a 2.1 in Retail and Service Management. Last year was honestly the hardest year within my time in education, and I have to thank my wonderful family, fantastic friends and work colleagues (especially Richie) for supporting me through this time. I personally feel that I am extremely hard-working and have always (well most of the time) tried my hardest in both college and work. Time-management has always been such a huge thing for me, trying to juggle friends, family, work and college is really tough. So girls, trust me if I can do it, you can too! It's going to be hard but keep at it, and make sure you take breaks, plenty and plenty of tea and chocolate breaks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh230sp9qgw0yC9NDPXz2IMdd46j_llThlHG84SBPDZ6tTSval6sJa1if4-YLoY0FWVqmyHrSxZFB5_VgJV1DfZIPQ518dHBA6gouWDS4Q1kZoMWNKOjXlNGwdbRTiPvzNuEocpT57soI/s1600/women-in-technology-face-uphill-battle-pop_85451.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh230sp9qgw0yC9NDPXz2IMdd46j_llThlHG84SBPDZ6tTSval6sJa1if4-YLoY0FWVqmyHrSxZFB5_VgJV1DfZIPQ518dHBA6gouWDS4Q1kZoMWNKOjXlNGwdbRTiPvzNuEocpT57soI/s1600/women-in-technology-face-uphill-battle-pop_85451.jpg" height="200" width="175" /></span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So with this, I still have no real clue where I want to be in 10 years time (maybe a W.A.G?). When I was younger, there was always this idea in my mind that men earn money, and women stay at home watching the kids, cooking the dinner, cleaning the house (and trust me, I know that this is a job in itself). This whole idea came from the fact that my mam was a stay at home wife, she was always there for me and I was really lucky in that sense. She did however end up going back to work, but I had always considered my dads wage, our main source of income (I now know that this is not true). As a kid I had the most ridiculous career aspirations; I wanted to be a hairdresser, a dancer, a singer, a cashier (retail has stuck with me somewhat), a waitress and at one point all I wanted to be was a cleaner. Now I'm not saying that these aren't real careers, they are, but I never once considered being something more.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Men ruled the world basically, and girls were basically baby makers. Obviously now my opinions have changed. And the main reason for this, is the increasing amount of women within business. This has been such an inspiration for me, as it has made me realise that I can be more. That I can have dreams and achieve them. </span></div>

One is obviously the amazing Marissa Carter. To come from a salon based in Blackrock, to creating a product which has become a household name. This week Marissa was at the Oscars, yes the OSCARS, giving celebrities a sun-kissed glow. Like I'm sorry but what?! Marissa was of course mentioned in The Irish Independents most inspirational women list for 2013. In just over a year the brand has released four products with another three being launched later in the year. Marissa, Sarah, Ashling and Stephaniehave made this happen through hard-work and determination. Four women. Not a man in sight. Basically what I'm saying is... Who rule the world? GIRLS! This is not a mans world.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9a7wBOs8JVwiXGtNtXdKVzfvdgc9Je2hA3GgT4HLFvEB8iE5vsaH1fhnupkVi7PkADI2JLaF9KTg5ch5rs7drWGb5tokEVC4Wws46XMRIf-pw2fVksUUesS_rgwgk5ODYeDJvjmrt0s0/s1600/20121111-030546.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9a7wBOs8JVwiXGtNtXdKVzfvdgc9Je2hA3GgT4HLFvEB8iE5vsaH1fhnupkVi7PkADI2JLaF9KTg5ch5rs7drWGb5tokEVC4Wws46XMRIf-pw2fVksUUesS_rgwgk5ODYeDJvjmrt0s0/s1600/20121111-030546.jpg" height="200" width="200" /></span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I hope that things have changed for young girls now, and that they don't just want to marry someone when there older. And I really hope that teenagers can now see how far women can go, and have bigger dreams and aspirations. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So, I know that this post is completely out of the ordinary for me, but I really feel that is important to acknowledge people that have made an impact on your life. What do you think? Do girls rule the world? Or is it still a mans world? (Buts lets be honest it would be nothing, without a woman or a girl....oh the cheese).</span></div>

I've heard such mixed reviews that I decided I had to try it myself. One of the products that came in my Glossy Box was a tweezers from The Vintage Cosmetic Company. Now I'm not going to lie, I've never ever bought a tweezers myself, I usually just rob mams till she buys a new one for herself (sorry mam)! So I've never had a brand spanking new tweezers. I used this for the first time last Friday and my god they're sharp. I was actually shocked. </span></div>

When you flip it the opposite way there's a pointed tip, which is fantastic for those fine hairs that can be a nightmare to pluck. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">These tweezers also came in a protective pouch which means it will be well protected if it gets thrown around your make up bag. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now onto the best part?! The design! It's so girly and cute. The perfect pattern for your typical girl. Much better than the usual silver steel appearance. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I don't know if these tweezers were so good because they're brand spanking new, but I definitely thought my brows looked a lot better than usual, due to the sharpness of the product. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As a nail polish hoarder I tend to purchase loads of different polishes and after a day forget that I own them. However, Rimmels Salon Pro are hard to forget to be honest. I'm a bit late to posting about these, but I've been meaning to write a post since last August! Better late than never right?!</span></div>

The shades she gave me are really summer shades, but I've worn them throughout Autumn and Winter.... YOLO right?! No but in all seriousness I love bright shades as much as I love dark shades, and these two shades have come out of my nail polish box more than once during these cold months. I recently picked up another shade which I originally thought was black, and was quite disappointed when I lashed it on my nails. It's a dark blue, not black. After a day or two the shade started growing on me, and I realised it was my own fault for not reading the name on the bottle.</span></div>

BEST NAIL POLISH EVER! Ok so that may seem like a bit much, but seriously they've won me over. Not only are they super cheap (about €5 each), but they're also fast drying and they last much longer than any other polish (working with cash means by nails are destroyed by the end of the day). Another great thing about these is the brush, it's a lot wider than any other polish meaning you don't have to do multiple layers to paint one nail. Saying that you do need multiple layers to get the opacity you may want.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So, would I buy these again?! Hell yes! Simple as. My one issue is that I can't find a black anywhere, which really does disappoint me!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Being a beauty blogger you'd think I'd be all into my exfoliating and moisturising... I'm not. I just don't have the time for it. I usually work earlies, meaning I've to be awake by about half 5 and leaving my house by about 10 past 6. When I get home from work and shower I'm usually either too tired to do all that, or I have made plans and I'm literally rushing out the door. Saying that once or twice a week (usually the days I'm off) I'll be sure to at least moisturise after a shower. When I received my Cocoa Brown Chocolate Whip moisturiser I wanted to see if the brand would change my ways... And it's quite possible they did. As everyone knows, I'm ridiculously loyal to Cocoa Brown, so I already had high hopes for this product (let alone the amount of reviews I had already read). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidm80Hnqv4BlivOC2wXr9_zgfJpOvGtbjsWjPaO9DgYEKylJF0UdQBbopwqjCqwLutfLjtR6vY5nBfVXC3JeKX3kiSY5ESUdWZU2LtkrjtIMnlN47nux_zNGjH1GKVX2k3EHPtZcpeJNo/s1600/P1010380.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidm80Hnqv4BlivOC2wXr9_zgfJpOvGtbjsWjPaO9DgYEKylJF0UdQBbopwqjCqwLutfLjtR6vY5nBfVXC3JeKX3kiSY5ESUdWZU2LtkrjtIMnlN47nux_zNGjH1GKVX2k3EHPtZcpeJNo/s1600/P1010380.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></span></a></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The packaging is cute as always, maintaining their trademark pink (even if it is in a white tube). The fact it comes in a tube is fantastic, I hate tubs and bottles are just awkward (especially with wet hands). I decided I would start using this after applying a layer of tan, so on a dull Sunday morning (with a dreadful hangover) I layered myself with some Chocolate Whip. I was actually shocked to see it was brown... And NOT pink! I sort of expected it to smell overwhelmingly like chocolate, but it doesn't... It's even nicer AND my mam even complemented my smell (if it can cover up last nights double vodkas and red bulls it gets extra brownie points). </span></div>

</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After about five days of using it straight I noticed my tan faded more naturally, while lasting longer, and applying tan midweek went on smoother.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The best part about this is that it's not just for tanning, it's a fantastic day to day moisturiser. It's oil free so it doesn't clog pores either, thumbs up for Cocoa Brown thinking about our delicate Irish skin. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Overall, it's officially in my bathroom cabinet and is being used everyday, and not just by me (yeah that's right mam, I know you use it too). I love the smell and it doesn't take too long to soak in either. The one flaw is that if you don't rub it in fully it can sort of cling to dry patches, leaving a brown tint with it.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Another great product by Marissa and her team... Fair play ladies! Defo worth a purchase and it's pretty much available everywhere (including online at <a href="http://www.cloud10beauty.com/bath-body/cocoa-brown-chocolate-whip-200ml.html" target="_blank">Cloud10</a> Beauty), and as usual is as cheap as chips!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So life at the moment has become pretty hectic, 2014 really has started with a bang. I'm working full-time now and the shifts are so long which means when I get home I just want to pass out, but at the end of the day I'm loving what I am doing! That and the cold weather making me ill, has sort of prevented me from having the energy to write up blog posts.</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But hey back to this blog post. About a month ago, a friend suggested using baby lotion as eye make up remover. At first I was like, you have to be crazy, I'm not putting that stuff near my eyes. Then I though to myself, I don't recognise any of the chemicals in eye make up remover, so really what's the difference?!</span></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3LZaQlo_JrHT78OZUY-jKbgOwXh2RpKg9efaQQJ4ReHRttaDlmjdKTWJiRoZW9IFh3_nad-n8T7RN8kFBodckVUyPn2NVWM7ZjfLY-6pEHG1SblSNtYQhODI53HH9tNur3-U8FbQg4Go/s1600/P1010328.JPG" height="320" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="240" /></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I'm so cheap I even resorted to buying an own <br />
brand bottle, as opposed to a brand name!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3LZaQlo_JrHT78OZUY-jKbgOwXh2RpKg9efaQQJ4ReHRttaDlmjdKTWJiRoZW9IFh3_nad-n8T7RN8kFBodckVUyPn2NVWM7ZjfLY-6pEHG1SblSNtYQhODI53HH9tNur3-U8FbQg4Go/s1600/P1010328.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So I put it to the test. My god... I am never buying another bottle of eye makeup remover ever again... Like EVER. Been using this every night and I haven't woken up and thought, Janey my eyes look a bit rough. I always found with actual eye makeup remover, it never removed all my eyeliner and mascara. Baby oil, on the other hand, does. It also makes under my eyes super soft. AND it doesn't sting my eyes, like other big brand names. And best yet? It's super cheap, lasts forever and can be used for lots of different things. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After I give my make up brushes a clean I'll wipe some baby oil through the ends to keep them soft (sort of like conditioning them, I suppose). After a shower I'll use it to lock in the moisture (which also locks in body heat during the day, perfect for colder months). Usually after I shave my legs I lash some on, to prevent dryness and that burning sensation. And tonight, I'm going to try it as a foot moisturiser (I have awfully cracked heels) and I'll let you all know in my next blog post how it went!</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My one issue is how oily and messy it is. Everyday I'll end up spilling loads all over my table and/ or legs. And it does make my eyes go a bit oily, but I usually just wipe this off with a cotton pad. However, this is the only flaw, so I seriously recommend any of you makeup lovers to give this a try. Well worth it!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A few weeks ago I was informed by Anita, of <a href="http://anitasbeautyspot.blogspot.ie/" target="_blank"><b>Anita's Beauty Spot</b></a>, about an app created by four transition year students for their mini business. Yep, you heard that right; <b><i>TRANSITION year</i></b> students. I couldn't even think of an app like this now let alone at 15/ 16/ 17, so fair play to all of the girls.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmD6_HAIiViY40Eq0k8c6-VZNq8Be4JBUvTAUsRHpfEmAA-WKY1a3fxMb-jzku7UhSElbIh21VYVxatUHSSfhz0BKAGUy0oHHXDl3L8rhWivSB3dECWkDxWZMMNSwMoktSzLEc65GX5l0/s640/blogger-image--1065436136.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmD6_HAIiViY40Eq0k8c6-VZNq8Be4JBUvTAUsRHpfEmAA-WKY1a3fxMb-jzku7UhSElbIh21VYVxatUHSSfhz0BKAGUy0oHHXDl3L8rhWivSB3dECWkDxWZMMNSwMoktSzLEc65GX5l0/s640/blogger-image--1065436136.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> The app has three different options; information and prices on leading tanning brands, tanning salons based around Dublin, and hints and tips on applying your tan.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFxIhGhBfkhpM41OgFUJdh_G4dizq0l9njCle-xFiPvxYgDg1ZEoDExSGoGqeCigI6aC5IDKk-ZolWaQZcBma3cNioued9gEVhPJCPxywhy_0PuUL4d6bt_Djj2nlhSTbJ-1rkVssE3Ho/s640/blogger-image-1176506276.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFxIhGhBfkhpM41OgFUJdh_G4dizq0l9njCle-xFiPvxYgDg1ZEoDExSGoGqeCigI6aC5IDKk-ZolWaQZcBma3cNioued9gEVhPJCPxywhy_0PuUL4d6bt_Djj2nlhSTbJ-1rkVssE3Ho/s640/blogger-image-1176506276.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> The first section, which contains information on different tanning brands, is extremely useful and shows a huge variety of brands; from your cheap as chips St Moriz tan, to the higher end Vita Liberta PHenomenal Tan, and everything in between. Perfect for tanning newbies. Each product has information regarding ingredients, application, development times, prices and stockists. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOzXxja2Ek_iQOqTWWw3aC173i7vjt2Sep144G_hf7pScSDf3SlGgKXGvCbQ4y7S4vdHVFm_UU7f-oyrIMXlpniF8FaALfwh-VO3jmwwbye3qYJCKtkOLotVNM0aFUKtJUBOOX3UhAqb4/s640/blogger-image--1592484649.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOzXxja2Ek_iQOqTWWw3aC173i7vjt2Sep144G_hf7pScSDf3SlGgKXGvCbQ4y7S4vdHVFm_UU7f-oyrIMXlpniF8FaALfwh-VO3jmwwbye3qYJCKtkOLotVNM0aFUKtJUBOOX3UhAqb4/s640/blogger-image--1592484649.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<br />
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The second option allows you to see tanning salons throughout Dublin, which are near to you. By clicking on the red pins you can see information about the salons including their website and contact information, another helpful section especially if you're not up for tanning at home!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8GOwwvZA8S56v8SKj26PW44iw5Kl8PxHsarwSTMsbugyEGRMkHE7u_1w8XffhNPKA8KX-mkr5voeulWzT264KRQ-6XMfSHaeqatv5_tsSZs59vYPubWeuGS5YGdNFEmD1j2tSiwgxFKI/s640/blogger-image--921425912.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8GOwwvZA8S56v8SKj26PW44iw5Kl8PxHsarwSTMsbugyEGRMkHE7u_1w8XffhNPKA8KX-mkr5voeulWzT264KRQ-6XMfSHaeqatv5_tsSZs59vYPubWeuGS5YGdNFEmD1j2tSiwgxFKI/s640/blogger-image--921425912.jpg" /></span></a></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The final section, which is my favourite part, has loads of hints and tips, from choosing the brand with the right ingredients for you, to removing tan stains from clothing and bedding. Some of these tips I didn't even know, and I've been tanning since I was 14. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm still literally shocked about this app. I have no clue how these girls have done it and made it look so professional... At their age I was worried about boy, not business ideas (needless to say my mini company idea was a last minute sweet shop where we sold sweets from the Euro shop!). You can clearly see how much research these girls have put in, and I really hope they are successful. The app is currently only available on iTunes and the salon section only contains information about Dublin salons, but it is designed to a very <i>high</i> quality and is very easy to use!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Again I must apologise for disappearing off the blogosphere for awhile. Christmas has been extremely hectic and it's just about begining to calm down. I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and Santa spoiled you all... He definitely spoiled me (and so did my fantastic boyfriend!). </span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I just wanted to write a quick post to let you all know I'm still around and that I'll be up and blogging again very soon! I also wanted to wish everyone a merry Christmas and a very happy and healthy New Year. As for resolutions, i have a few. One of these is definitely to focus more on my blog... So I'll be trying to stick by this as much as I can. Another one, is to get healthier (not lose weight or anything) but just in general be healthier. I've noticed in the past year certain tasks I could have done two years ago now drain me of energy. I eat terribly and exercise is nonexistent. I won't be joining a gym or start some fad diet but I will try eat more fruit and veg, drink more water and instead of driving to the shop (that's literally around the corner) I'm going to walk. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Again I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and a brilliant New Year. Have any of you made any New Years resolutions?! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On Monday night I was lucky enough to attend Cocoa Browns first birthday party, naturally a "Pink Party", in the Residence Members Club on Stephens Green. Everyone knows how much I love Cocoa Brown, and I feel ridiculously loyal to the brand now, so I jumped at the opportunity to attend. Unfortunately on the day I had been in work from 8am and ended up running behind, so I was a little bit late! When myself and Ash, from A Plus Size Pony Pal, walked in we were greeted by Marissa, who looked stunning as usual. Marissa is honestly a fantastic woman and such an inspiration. She makes you feel so welcome, and it's sort of like seeing a really good friend, which sounds absolutely crazy. Basically, I have a lot of time for her. </span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Myself and Ash shimmied our way through the room to see a nail station set up. We were able to get our nails painted and have a little Cocoa Brown stamp too. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcJlpJZBSJxUs4FmHM2pkprMtim4UIPi794SXO3iZe0HNJlE8Da9SMQO3C4L4aETokhS-MB7UNzdKlrpGX2-C2svnGxlbAP3TkXJYPKWMeE7BMtIZu9McXLxjnvJQa3OAn3IXsPNuJLNU/s640/blogger-image--1264642294.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcJlpJZBSJxUs4FmHM2pkprMtim4UIPi794SXO3iZe0HNJlE8Da9SMQO3C4L4aETokhS-MB7UNzdKlrpGX2-C2svnGxlbAP3TkXJYPKWMeE7BMtIZu9McXLxjnvJQa3OAn3IXsPNuJLNU/s400/blogger-image--1264642294.jpg" width="370" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As you can see from the photo, one nail has the Cocoa Brown logo on it. Talk about being a walking advertisement... Do I mind... NOPE! The nails were created by iNailz, and I'm so surprised I've never seen anything like this before. Basically they can print images onto nails... CRAZY! The actual colour is a very "me" shade, sort of neon-ish and very very pink (Charged Up Cherry by OPI). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOUccI8cLpIi52r4AUmqhiits_wxEQk62paOEJQu3a7Y-zKTmzAkL6j8LfJv56fAFH4t27MDR-g0v-9ks82D9ISW6KiOrT5zPbD-OQhRyBwDDXXT_wE5C9A5MkECYgGlY3bYkFi_YPmas/s640/blogger-image--1295021564.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOUccI8cLpIi52r4AUmqhiits_wxEQk62paOEJQu3a7Y-zKTmzAkL6j8LfJv56fAFH4t27MDR-g0v-9ks82D9ISW6KiOrT5zPbD-OQhRyBwDDXXT_wE5C9A5MkECYgGlY3bYkFi_YPmas/s400/blogger-image--1295021564.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The party also had a table full of sweets, which was way too tempting for me to even consider avoiding it. Check out how pretty and pink it is, fair play to Sugar and Spices for setting it up.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After a couple of delicious cocktails, way too many sweets and new nails, myself and Ash went on our way. I had such a fantastic night and was glad to see some other blogger faces there! A huge happy birthday to Cocoa Brown and congratulations to all of the team. Marissa, Sarah, Aisling and Stephanie have achieved so much in one year, and hopefully 2014 will be another fantastic year for the company. I'm so glad to have been invited to the party and I will continue to support the company as much as I can. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you have been living under a rock, Cocoa Brown is available in most chemists, Penneys/ Primark stores, Superdrug, Tescos and Boots. So you have no excuse not to have a bottle... Or four!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello lovely ladies!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ok, so my love of eyebrows has grown
significantly over the past year and a bit, and looking back at picture before
I payed any attention to my eyebrows I just think WHY?! Now I'm not saying my
eyebrows are fantastic or worthy of an award, but since I've actually started
getting them tinted and waxed once a month I've noticed how much they frame my
face (thank you Brown Cow and Lorraine for creating a brow addict!). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So in between tints I have to fill
them in with a pencil. Now here are my problems:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 36pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18pt;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1) <!--[endif]-->Because I’m a natural red head I have
fairer eyebrows and lashes’, meaning it’s difficult to find the right shade to
suit my complexion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 36pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18pt;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2) <!--[endif]-->Due to over-plucking in my teens there are
somewhat bald parts of my brows which even tinting won’t cover (said bald parts
are at the bridge of my nose, the thickest part of my eyebrow).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have been using a Rimmel eyebrow pencil for the past year and I
have to say it has never let me down once. The odd time I’ll use my Benefit
Brow-zing kit, if I want to really define my brows. Both work a treat!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A recent purchase I added to my daily routine was Soap and Glory’s
“<b><a href="http://www.soapandglory.com/makeup/eyes/eyebrow-pencils/arch-de-triumph" target="_blank">Arch de Triump</a></b>” crayon. My best friend Niamh had been ranting and raving about
this product for ages, but every time we went to check if Boots had it in
stock, they never did. We both came to the conclusion that it had been
discontinued, until one day Niamh spotted it on the shelves. I can only imagine
to her it was like a beaming light that attracted her to the shelves, like
Jesus’ resurrection. This product seemed to be like the holy grail, ridiculous hard to come by. There were two left on the shelves. So I sort of had to
buy it, didn't I?! All in the name of blogging right?!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The packaging is exactly how you would imagine a Soap and Glory
product to be, over the top, 1950’s- esque, pin up style! I’m always attracted
to the packaging straight away. I love that on the back of the box it has a
little users guide, the “How Now Perfect Brow”. I honestly have no clue what I paid for it, but the <a href="http://www.boots.ie/en/Soap-Glory%C2%99-Arch-De-Triumph%C2%99-Eyebrow-Shaper-Highlighter_1238272/" target="_blank">Boots website</a> says it is €11.50, but I'm not 100% sure!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUzBdzWttXrFPoGBRmedSzdJy13mc1Np-wsNoPndywRtzRdXApp28qtI4gE9SnbH1BDgnH9otjkW4t2oaFbDkqK9MXvPnyO-tuAxy5LRkiG2rfZ1plnW3dBhv6x4vW6AED5VZbyKvTe50/s640/blogger-image-390915608.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUzBdzWttXrFPoGBRmedSzdJy13mc1Np-wsNoPndywRtzRdXApp28qtI4gE9SnbH1BDgnH9otjkW4t2oaFbDkqK9MXvPnyO-tuAxy5LRkiG2rfZ1plnW3dBhv6x4vW6AED5VZbyKvTe50/s640/blogger-image-390915608.jpg" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So, onto the product itself… I’m still not 100% sure. The brow
shaper (dark side of the crayon) just doesn’t seem to work. I know it sounds
crazy but it doesn't seem to fill my brows in. The highlighter on the other
hand is AMAZING. Easy to use and is actually a pinky colour as opposed to a
bright white. If they made just a highlighter version of the crayon I’d buy
every single one.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So… has it made it into my make up bag? YES, but this is only
because of the highlighter. I still use my Rimmel pencil for the filling in
part of my routine. Would I buy it again? Probably not. For just a highlighter,
it sort of seems like a waste, even though it is the best highlighter I have come
across.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Have any of you tried “Arch de Triumph”? What are your opinions, I’d

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Bonjour hunz,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">At the beginning of the week I was contacted by Amy from <b><a href="http://www.modcloth.com/" target="_blank">ModCloth </a></b>who invited me to take part in their "Uniquely You" campaign which involved putting together a wee style board through Polyvore! On Friday I was sent an image of a dress with which I was to style an outfit around... The dress is called <a href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses/when-the-night-comes-dress-in-noir" target="_blank"><b>When the Night Comes</b></a>, is priced at $100 and is also available in a gorgeous emerald shade. When I seen the dress I thought it was really girly and for some reason I went with a sort of fairy tale styling (I was originally going to do the complete opposite and dress it down). </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I fell in love with this <b><a href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/coats/once-upon-a-thyme-coat-in-salt-and-pepper" target="_blank">Steve Madden jacket</a></b> and it reminded me of something from a fairy tale (...Little Red Riding Hood maybe). The jacket costs $135, but you would definitely get good use out of it. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So what <b><a href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/shoes-heels/it-malt-be-love-wedge-in-black?SSAID=256758&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=sas&utm_campaign=256758&utm_content=417942&gate=false" target="_blank">shoes </a></b>would I pair with it... Wedges obviously... Now anyone that know me, knows I love sky scrapper heels, I just can't walk in them, so I usually opt for wedges (which I still can't walk in). These wedges are $45 which is a bargain to be honest... I have to stop myself from clicking the buy button. How fab would these look paired with some skinny jeans, a cute blazer and an over sized tote?!</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">OK on from the shoes and on to the bag... THE BAG!! Talk about fairy tale... I'm in love (this must be how Cinderella and Prince Charming felt!). It looks so delicate and girly and pink and pretty. It's $60, so a little bit more expensive than my usual Penneys handbag, but I will be ordering this soon and it will be mine!</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Can we keep talking about the bag?! No?! You've heard enough?! Are you sure?! Ok, so jewellery. Honestly I wouldn't be going crazy with jewellery with this outfit. The <b><a href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/necklaces/cusp-of-captivating-necklace?SSAID=256758&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=sas&utm_campaign=256758&utm_content=417942&gate=false" target="_blank">necklace </a></b>I chose is not only super cheap but I think it fits my fairy tale style perfectly and it can be another addition to my growing collection of statement necklaces. This is definitely going to be another purchase of mine after Christmas. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The dress is something you could dress up or down, perfect for your Christmas party, a date night with himself or just chilling with the girls! <b><a href="http://www.modcloth.com/" target="_blank">ModCloth </a></b>has some great dresses and loads of quirky accessories (from Shark shoes to school bus tote bags) head over and check them out (just don't order the bag, it's mine). The total cost of this outfit (including shipping) is $408.17. The shipping is a bit steep to be honest but coming from the states I suppose what can you expect. Converted over to euros it costs just over €300, not bad if you take into account the amount you are buying.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Have any of you heard about ModCloth before? What do you think of their products?</span></b></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello everyone and Happy Halloween! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So today's post is going to be about something completely different... It's about Halloween! If you're not heading out tonight I have a recommendation on something for you to do... Something that will scare the cr*p out of you! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkYZ-dolFBiDrB5JaCavIc-MrYUtvZqVlEDcdSu2qzowu3FQWTY2s4_9Td34Y3hnwTSjBohDmXUN7eZ_n-SBK9Xnpyb6M6VwHgrVzT2kSlzHwxiN1k29EzZla6CJy5SNBFAu_RU8MuvcY/s640/blogger-image--637526194.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkYZ-dolFBiDrB5JaCavIc-MrYUtvZqVlEDcdSu2qzowu3FQWTY2s4_9Td34Y3hnwTSjBohDmXUN7eZ_n-SBK9Xnpyb6M6VwHgrVzT2kSlzHwxiN1k29EzZla6CJy5SNBFAu_RU8MuvcY/s400/blogger-image--637526194.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Last night I attended a the <b><a href="http://www.hauntedspooktacular.com/index.asp" target="_blank">Haunted Spooktacular</a></b> in Meath and it's my third year in a row that I've went, and it has never disappointed. It's definitely something to do in a group... Even if you don't like scary things I'd still recommend it. It has something to terrify everyone... From clowns to scarecrows to chainsaws to hillbilly's and with a little bit of exorcisms thrown in for good measure. Realistically if you have nothing planned for tonight and you don't fancy sitting in watching your Facebook newsfeed, and being jealous of lads and lassies dressed up as priests and nurses and slutty maids, get in the car (or your friends car) and head north (or south or east or west) to Meath!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: justify;"><b>So, what does it entail?</b> An hour and a half queue if you don't fancy paying an extra €6 for fast entry (pay the extra €6, it's well worth it). Once you enter the attraction, you'll explore the land but be prepared for people to chase you with chainsaws and jump out from the darkness. The good part about this is you have to stop at points so you have time to calm down. Take into consideration that if you're claustrophobic or affected by strobe lights or loud music this isn't for you. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Once you get through the woodlands you'll enter a house which has everything from exorcisms to mental asylums and little children asking you to play with them. Creepy is not the word! </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>So how much is it?</b> If you book before you head you can pay a standard rate of €16 or you can get the fast track tickets which are €22 or pay at the gate which will be €19 or €25, depending on your preference. </span></div>
</div>
<div>

If you're travelling from anywhere else head over to the website for <b><a href="http://www.hauntedspooktacular.com/directions.asp" target="_blank">directions</a></b>.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The event runs from <b>7pm till 10pm</b> and tonight is the final night! Step out of your comfort zone and just do it!

<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I got sent out Good Things Instant Dark Circles Concealer before I went away on holidays. I've always used a natural collection concealer which I love, but since my obsession for the <b><a href="http://www.goodthingsbeauty.com/" target="_blank">Good Things</a></b> brand has begun to grow, I decided to change things up a bit. (Click <b><a href="http://frecklesandthefox.blogspot.ie/2013/07/good-things-deep-pore-anti-blemish.html" target="_blank">here</a> </b>to see my previous Good Things post...)</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7K26Eq4DcslOrJBINg4JabST0ZZGaP21iuFhTvlzuW1sYdkilw1d9jszSUfoqQDiMbnPFQlfggLcAyxFu7Vf-rUL0qDpM1f_ODk2fXKsCS93uOlencZXGs4k4zSMaXySMeRoUQFUyFu4/s640/blogger-image-1744421715.jpg" /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Firstly, I think the packaging is really cute, and is presented the same as every other Good Things product. It's 15ml so is quite small, but the tiniest bit goes a long way. Originally when I first applied this product, I found it quite difficult to get out due to the metal roller-ball tip, but once I overcame this it was smooth sailing from here on out. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This concealer, unlike many others, is a two-in-one product which not only covers dark circles but also depuffs the area. I sometimes find concealer can be really tough on your eye area and can sting quite a bit, but this has been tested to be extra gentle and is really lightweight!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So what are the ingredients that make it lightweight and help depuff the eye area? Raspberry,Lychee and Caffeine. The raspberry soothes the skin, the lychee supports the area around the eye due to the mineral potassium and the caffeine acts on the tiny blood capillaries within the skin to improve circulation and counteract puffiness around the eye area!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDOq94hiRJkopNI-qhV6964CsVc10ULzvKkpHFQPjr_fBmwmWGIhNI0I0gEexp6jHoybeovlndbuW6D3XrtRRK3gpmJqWFH6rjJbcG9zKkFvTtGGz45nUl9OMyZEq0CCV7UVIhtkf5rWY/s640/blogger-image-2083977428.jpg" /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> So, <i>does it conceal and hide puffy, dark circles?</i> <b>YES</b>! <i>Is it easy to use?</i> <b>YES</b>!<i> Is it an essential to my beauty bag? </i><b>I <u>don't</u> know</b>.... This was really a go to product on my holidays, mainly because it was super lightweight and hid my hideous dark circles from my friends! However, back at home it doesn't give me ENOUGH coverage... It's not great on blemishes and when I'm wearing a full face of make up it just doesn't sit right, I guess... </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCV8PojkJNQYX3q0TmdipM_bQECc80EN1bgV_dOHzHBNA7_zrMyQD_HoXMKw0IvIrAPM0cX0NjxPw0H0rCYyg9p9K0IFrdO-8RF-7PBH2m2ACmkBt6eOkCutVdbWa2vFBj2oWRDV_MVUU/s640/blogger-image--41100171.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="299" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCV8PojkJNQYX3q0TmdipM_bQECc80EN1bgV_dOHzHBNA7_zrMyQD_HoXMKw0IvIrAPM0cX0NjxPw0H0rCYyg9p9K0IFrdO-8RF-7PBH2m2ACmkBt6eOkCutVdbWa2vFBj2oWRDV_MVUU/s400/blogger-image--41100171.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Overall, I probably wouldn't rush to stores to purchase this again, but it definitely didn't put me off Good Things products. It smelt amazing (I never thought I'd say that about a concealer), was easy to use, is lightweight with natural ingredients and is reasonably well priced for what it does.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Morning ladies and happy October!</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Apologies for the complete lack of posts as of recent! I've been busy getting the last few bits for my holidays, working loads and last week I was relaxing in the sun in Puerto Rico! I just wanted to share some details from my holiday with you....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiEnltXR2moAfU8XkB7S-wtW7tuv7DEPz8JVF8TCFFCHW83SUaZI5GSRrzkrkAJDlGenGNVzdpfuUoH37bM0uAaQmJNVjToq0vQIiUYhZ7AuUKFWbK8ywPQi1fbUsgqEI6tHJHhwPb8go/s640/blogger-image-903988610.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiEnltXR2moAfU8XkB7S-wtW7tuv7DEPz8JVF8TCFFCHW83SUaZI5GSRrzkrkAJDlGenGNVzdpfuUoH37bM0uAaQmJNVjToq0vQIiUYhZ7AuUKFWbK8ywPQi1fbUsgqEI6tHJHhwPb8go/s640/blogger-image-903988610.jpg" /></span></a></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We arrived at our hotel in Puerto Rico on Saturday night and after quickly unpacking we met by the poolside bar for a drink or two! (There was a bit of an issue on the plane which delayed us getting off... Some lady obviously couldn't last the 4 hour flight without sneaking to the toilet for a smoke... She seemed to get away with it and was also first off the plane... But sure she was on her holiday so it's acceptable, it's also acceptable to batter your 2year old grandchild too apparently... But enough of that). </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The next morning myself and Mick rose at about 9 to search out a supermarket and bakery (we'd been so excited about getting freshly made pastries for weeks!). Now this is probably where I should mention the steps... Almost 200 steps down to the commercial centre, which means 200 steps back up... NIGHTMARE, we done it twice and I think that was enough for us! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After the steps ordeal, we spent the majority of the day in the sun, and then caught the GAA final in a lovely Australian bar... COYBIB! We went for a meal later on and then had a few drinks by the pool later that evening.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The next day I woke early again (I'm not a morning person, but I couldn't sleep past half 9), we ended up spending the day in the commercial centre having a little wander and had a swim later on!</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For the rest of the week it was mainly sunbathing, swimming and eating! </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On the Thursday evening we headed out quite early and returned to the apartment early enough to catch a magic show and reptile show after... We got to get in a picture with a giant albino python around us (which was fantastic), however I was more interested in getting a picture with the magicians dog!</span></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The next day we went to a lovely little market about 20 mins away from us (something Mogan, but I was referring to it as Piers Morgan!). I picked up a few bits, including a lovely statement necklace and a giraffe mask thing for my wall! Nothing else really tickled my fancy apart from a lovely "Louis Vuitton" tote, which the seller was trying to sell for an extortionate price.... I can live without it!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Saturday came around and unfortunately this meant we had to pack up our stuff and get out. We managed to nab a late check out on one of the rooms, but of course this was the hottest day and I think we all wanted to jump in the pool. Our bus collected us for the airport just after 8 and we soon discovered our flight was delayed... Thankfully it wasn't too long, but it just meant getting home from Dublin airport would be a lot more difficult... Myself and Mick had been awake since before 8 so we were getting a bit cranky!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Overall I had a fantastic trip and I really wasn't happy about coming back! I have a few more posts planned for during the week, so hopefully I'll get the time to write them up...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hey guys,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So, in three weeks I'll probably be sitting on a sun lounger working on my tan.... but more than likely I'll be sat under a sun umbrella complaining about the heat. Yes, that's right ladies, I'm going on my summer holidays! Myself and Ash, from <b><a href="http://aplussizeponypal.blogspot.ie/" target="_blank">A Plus Size Pony Pal</a></b>, are dragging our boyfriends to Puerto Rico (in Spain not Mexico). We've been planning this trip since June, and we finally booked it last week! We're both so excited to head off... and it worked out super cheap, all we have to do now is organise our spending money!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The first thing I really want to pick up for my holidays is a pair of flatforms, I know these are horrible but for holidays they're perfect. I found a lovely pair on ASOS and they're only €49... however I also love these <a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/p/Tory-Burch-Cathleen-Snake-Embossed-Flatform-Wedge-Sandal/prod155840013/?ecid=NMALRFeedHy3bqNL2jtQ&ci_src=14110925&ci_sku=prod155840013skuCELLABROWNROCCI" target="_blank"><b>snake skin wedge flatforms</b></a> (more wedge than flatform to be honest), but at almost €190 I just couldn't justify it.</span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I absolutely love these <a href="http://glamorous.com/holiday-shop/summer-shorts-skirt/aztec-sequin-print-shorts.html" target="_blank"><b>shorts </b></a>from Glamourous, and they only cost €30. I think they'd look fantastic with a dark tan, not saying I'll have that. These are definitely within my budget so I may purchase them before I go... but who knows.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ok, so my style is so basic, I literally live in tank tops and cami's, but I love swing cami's like this one from Miss Selfridge (it's now sold out, but so many other high street stores sell these). Now, as much as I love this I just couldn't purchase it, mainly because Miss Selfridge's never take into consideration girls with boobs, and these are always really tight on me in that area...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">....Sunglasses, sunglasses, sunglasses... now anyone that knows me knows how much I need sunglasses with me at all times, and this is due to my leaky eye....yes I said it, LEAKY EYE! Wind, sun, rain, and my eye will leak! I love these <b>Ray-Bans</b>, but at over €150 I think I'll stick to my cheap know off pair...right?! One day I'll splurge on a pair of these, and will then probably end up sitting on them and will probably never leave my house again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Michael Kors....am I right?! Wow!! I've have been lusting over a <b>Michael Kors</b> tote bag... and watch....for the past year and a half. I just really couldn't justify it, when I can get a knock off in Penney's for next to nothing. However, this is my holiday wishlist and if I could afford it, I would be strutting around Dublin airport with a<b> </b><a href="http://piperlime.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=59355&pid=443711002&tid=plaff2687457&ap=2#" target="_blank"><b>tote</b> </a>on one arm and a<a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/michael-kors-blair-pave-crystal-bracelet-watch-39mm/3498795?origin=related-3498795-0-1-1-2-Rich%20Relevence&PageCategoryId=PP" target="_blank"> <b>flashy watch</b></a> on the other.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hey guys,</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So today's post is not beauty related at all and more so to show one of my favourite place in Dublin! Dun Laoghaire is one of my favourite place to go in Dublin, especially for a relaxing walk with my boyfriend! One of the best days I've had this year was a bank holiday Monday spent down here with one of my best friends Niamh. We went for lunch along the sea front and it was so peaceful. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Myself and Mick went for a stroll last night and it was so relaxing, even if we did get caught in a shower on the way back to the car. We usually walk along the pier and talk about the stupidest stuff... Like literally the most irrelevant things ever! We usually walk the East pier because its a little bit more friendly on the feet and its 1.3kms long, the West pier is slightly longer but doesn't have as many lights along it and its more gravelly!</span></div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Along the East pier there are lots of little exit points which lead to a slope down the water front. These are perfect for fishing.</span></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">At the end of the pier there's benches which look out onto the sea and you can see Howth perfectly, it never looks far away and I'm convinced that if there was no water it would only take a matter of minutes to walk between the two. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you are going to walk it, I'd suggest you bring an umbrella or something with a hood, as we all no how indecisive Irish weather is and there's no shelter from the rain. Also when u get to the end of the pier be prepared for wind! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hi ladies,</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I got an early birthday present last week and it really couldn't have come at a better time. The present was Cocoa Browns new Tough Stuff and I was dying to give it a try. The previous week I was at my cousins wedding and on the Wednesday I got my spray tan done down in Carter Beauty (it of course came out fantastic). The one thing I hate about getting a spray done is when it all starts coming off, I always think my skin looks scaly or something. I stupidly didn't moisturise to help it come off more naturally so I was left with chunks of tan all over my body. My original plan was to just put tan over it for the Saturday night and hope for the best... But I was so thankful Tough Stuff arrived before I even started. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj56leZQJYCuuvEXCp1hqhgeRobTCJ0Ke2-JrYe8fPOD2kws5zOmmbruysQCu4KbuCnbay28Bl-g3O7qucblTJo5y6IHPi6ZLn2xk7YooxVzLS-0IOpS4_1HHD07mLUswA_6RHY1bgaAaQ/s640/blogger-image-2103214985.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj56leZQJYCuuvEXCp1hqhgeRobTCJ0Ke2-JrYe8fPOD2kws5zOmmbruysQCu4KbuCnbay28Bl-g3O7qucblTJo5y6IHPi6ZLn2xk7YooxVzLS-0IOpS4_1HHD07mLUswA_6RHY1bgaAaQ/s640/blogger-image-2103214985.jpg" /></span></a></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So the product itself comes in a little sachet, that's of course pink. You can apply this mix either wet or dry (applying dry will give a deeper scrub). I opened the package and was pleasantly surprised that Cocoa Brown kept to their pink theme and the scrub itself was pink. It also smelt fantastic. Although the sachets look quite small I got a full body scrub out of it and had some left over. Now I actually hate scrubs because I always find they hurt too much and make my skin really dry but this was quite easy to rub in (my hands got a little sore the more I scrubbed, but I needed a good scrub)! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You know when you go to the beach and you arrive home with sand EVERYWHERE, and you jump into a shower to wash it off...that's what this feels like, which is something I actually love (it reminds me of holidays). Also a huge bonus about Tough Stuff was that it didn't make my shower really slippery like other scrubs do (whenever I use Ted Bakers body scrub I end up slipping when I'm getting out of the shower!). </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Overall the product worked really well and made my skin so smooth, so much so that I actually told himself to feel how soft I was. It smells fantastic, looks super cute and is easy to use (absolutely no mess was made!). And best yet.... Cocoa Brown have kept to their low prices, Tough Stuff retails at €2.99. The one thing I would love though would be if this product was available in a tub because the scrub that was left in the sachet was thrown out because I don't like leaving products open for too long. Other than that I really couldn't fault the product. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hi guys!</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So today's post is about keeping make up brushes clean and bacteria free. This is something that actually scares terrifies me and I hate doing… so much so that I used to never do this until I realised I was having terrible breakouts when my brushes had been left too long. I remember the days when I first started using make up and applied foundation with my hands and eyeshadow was applied with the little brush that come in the eyeshadow set (and the only mascara i used was a clead one because blak mascaras gave me spider lashes). I eventually moved on to using sponges and later moved up in the world, and purchased my first foundation brush. I was the first of my friends to get one of these and I distinctly remember being at a sleepover when I was 16 and applying my make up the next day and the girls literally couldn't stop laughing at me, because it looked like I was painting my face… needless to say they ALL own a foundation brush and couldn't live without one now!</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ok so back to the daunting cleaning process. About 2 years ago, I became an inglot addict and went through a phase of getting my make up done before every night out (I obviously had a lot of disposable income). </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was talking to one of the girls about keeping brushes clean and she recommended using their brush cleanser. It costs about €10 and would last you a good 6 months if not more. At this time I also purchased a new foundation brush as the one I had was becoming a bit worn and I was in need of a new one (even though I had only had it a few months). Now take in mind I apply foundation every day and this inglot brush has now last me 2 years...that's 730 days. I don't know if this is because it's a really good quality brush or if me cleaning it everytime it has been used has helped to maintain it… probably a bit of both.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So everyday after I use my make up brushes I'll use this brush cleanser, especially on my eyeshadow brushes… the last thing you want is to be applying an eye shadow and the black shadow from last night ending up all over your face, not a good look. I'll admit I can be lazy sometimes and not bother, but when they have been cleaned applying make up is so much easier. I usually spray a little bit onto either a pad or a baby wipe and use this to clean the brush. I prefer using baby wipes to be honest as sometimes the pad tends to fall apart. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Once a month I'll give my brushes a really deep clean by washing them all and leaving them to dry on my window sill. I usually use shampoo to get everything off them and then use conditioner to keep the brushes soft. I've been told that baby shampoo is the best for this but I have always used whatever shampoo is in the shower at the time. By actually cleaning my brushes once a month and using the Inglot cleanser my brushes are all in top notch quality… including my MAC set which I got for 19th birthday 4 years ago!</span></div>
