BUDGET BUY: A New Catrice Concealer On The Block..


Hello Lovelies,
I would like to introduce you to the 'Catrice Liquid Camouflage High Coverage Concealer', I have been testing out this concealer for a few weeks now since I finished my 'Mac Pro Long Wear Concealer'. Siobhan from 'Letz Makeup' is always raving about how good the Catrice brand of makeup is and how amazing this concealer is. I am definitely the type of girl who loves just grabbing a concealer to cover a few imperfections instead of going full throttle every time I want to put on a bit of makeup. I hate having an unnecessary load of makeup on my face when I won't be doing anything special.

I love wearing concealer to cover any redness especially around my nose and chin and to cover any blueness or discolouration under my eyes. Because of the fact that I am then relying on the concealer and not on a foundation, the staying power and longevity of the concealer is definitely a key factor. This concealer has blown my mind, the staying power and quality of this concealer is not one to miss. When using this concealer as a 'foundation' I just put some around my nose, around my T-Zone area and around my chin/mouth area. This concealer leaves a bit of a satin finish instead of a complete matte so I always like to set it with a powder to ensure that it won't move around throughout the day.


The coverage on the concealer is amazing and definitely one to test against the higher end brands such as the 'Mac Pro Long Wear Concealer' and the 'Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer'. It's not as high coverage as the Mac but it is definitely a contender, the Mac formulation is also a bit drier and doesn't glide as easily as the Catrice does. My all-time favourite concealer will always be the Mac Pro Long Wear but taking into account the similarity and the price difference, this Catrice concealer is a very close runner up.

When using this concealer for a more dramatic look, it is just outstanding for highlighting under the eye to give that brightening effect, and what's the best about this concealer? IT DOES NOT CREASE. The bane of my life in relation to concealers is that they always seem to crease and seep into those little creases under the eyes.I love when concealers have a multi-purpose characteristic to them instead of just being for one use/job. The shade I use is just a bit lighter than my natural skin shade but it would be 2/3 shades lighter than my foundation I use on the regular as I like to tan quite often. The formulation is so smooth and glides very easily, the blending ability is very impressive and it works perfectly with all types of brushes, from the 'Real Techniques Contour Brush', 'Blank Canvas Cosmetics F22' and my 'Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge'.


The only downside to this concealer is definitely the shade range which is available, in my local Penneys/Primark there is only two shades. Which I don't mind as they are suitable for my skin tone  but for girls with a deeper complexion it would be very irritating. For just €3.99 there is zero reason why you shouldn't have this in your makeup bag. Maybe even more than one, I will definitely be stocking up on these ASAP.

I hope you enjoyed this little review,

Does Your Skin Need Saving? My 3 Skin Saviours!



Hello Lovelies,
It’s officially the end of my first week back to college and I am so ecstatic to be back, I know that might seem crazy to some people but to me I absolutely love my course and I just love the atmosphere and routine of college life. With starting the New Year I am trying to make more of an effort with my 'Fashion Style' and 'Makeup' for college. I get serious fashion inspiration from some of the other girls in college as they all look amazing and their styles are so different and I love getting my inspiration from other girls like myself instead of always looking at the ‘photoshopped’ versions in the magazines. Usually I don’t wear makeup every day, normally I barely even wear makeup so I have been really relying on my skincare recently to keep my skin looking the best it can.

These are 3 of my current skin saviours which I have been absolutely loving and obsessed with:

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water
Now who hasn’t heard of this absolute gem of a skincare product? I have always been into taking the first layer of my makeup off before actually cleansing my skin. Previous to using a Micellar Water I will have to admit I was a user of the horrid ‘make-up remover wipes’.  You just cannot deny the ease that is linked with being able to just swipe the wipes over your face. But then some genius came to create the marvellous ‘Micellar Water’. Some of this on cotton pads and you have no worries about damaging your skin like you would if you were using make-up remover wipes. This stuff is seriously amazing at taking of that first layer of makeup before going in with your cleanser. How does this work you might ask? It works like a magnet; the micelles capture and lift away any dirt from the skin. This of course includes any make-up present on the skin. This as a result means that there is no need to rub and scrub at the skin in order to take off that top layer of dirt and makeup before cleansing.

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water 400ml €6.79 // Here

St.Ives Invigorating Apricot Facial Scrub
Now what can I not say about this scrub? I have been using this on and off for about 3 years but I have been using it on a constant basis for about 5/6 months now. I found myself getting a few breakouts around my pores in my T-Zone and I tried everything to try and stop the breakouts occurring. I knew that I needed a scrub in order to really get down into my pores and to get rid of any dirt and dead skin cells that were building up and blocking my pores. For anyone who also finds that their pores are being blocked this is definitely worth a try! This is such an amazing scrub for such an affordable price. I don’t find this scrub too harsh for my skin and It doesn’t irritate my skin atall.

St.Ives Invigorating Apricot Facial Scrub 150ml €5.79 // Here

Nip & Fab Glycolic Fix Scrub
I picked up this product at the end of last year. I definitely saw a difference in my skin just a week after I started to use it. I have to admit that I didn’t use it on a constant basis as I always seemed to just use my usual cleanser and I am definitely someone who gets lazy when it comes to their skincare. But I found out how incredible this product is when I started bringing it to the gym with me. I used this straight after the gym when washing my face; I saw an incredible difference in my skin especially in my T-Zone where my problem areas are. I hate that feeling after the gym when you can feel the sweat and dirt just sitting on the surface of your skin/pores and this scrub is amazing at getting rid of any sweat and build up on the skin. This scrub is a 3 in 1 exfoliant; the Flycolic and Salicylic Acid refines, brightens and also renews the skin. 3% Glycolic Acid to exfoliate and retexture the skin and finally Salicylic Acid also deeply cleanses the pores.

All These products are available from Boots Ireland. I Hope You Enjoyed This Blogpost.

How Much Does Your Perfume Describe You? featuring ZARA.




Hello Lovelies,
So as you might know if you follow me on Instagram(which you totally should). I was in Dublin recently and Dublin is possibly the best place in the whole of Ireland for shopping, especially because there was sales on EVERYWHERE. I seriously scored some bargains, especially in Zara and Mango. These are shops I wouldn’t shop in frequently as Zara is quite expensive and there's no Mango where I live unfortunately. But anyway, on our last day in Dublin we went back into Zara for the 5th time that weekend and we spotted the perfume isle.

Now if you know me and my perfume ways, I am 'that girl' that goes into Brown Thomas and Boots and just sprays all the perfumes I can get my hands on. I was blown away by not only the amazing scents they have in Zara but also the price, they look so luxurious yet they are so affordable.
My eyes darted straight for a range of perfumes that have different quotes printed on the bottle. Every bottle has a different quote and is also a different colour. I just loved this idea because you could not only purchase a scent which matches you perfectly but you can also get a saying//quote which might describe you in a more personal way or even one that you think is cute or fun.

I just had to get my hands on these perfumes, After smelling all the scents they have on offer over and over again I ended up purchasing 'Don't Over Think It'. Now I was definitely lucky in relation to the fact that this perfume I purchased stood out so much to me because of the quote which is printed on the bottle. The best way to describe it would definitely be when we find ourselves scrolling through Instagram or Pinterest and you come across a quote which just describes how you are feeling at that moment in time.



 I am definitely a person who over thinks everything, even the littlest things. It is definitely something which I am known for and I feel as though instead of portraying it as something that is a weakness of mine, I feel as though I can embrace it because it is a part of me and I can’t change it. The scent of this is quite summery and sweet but not overly sweet like the scents I usually go for. The scent is described in 3 sections:
Top: Pear: Mandarin and Grapefruit.
Heart: Rose and Ylang Ylang.
Base: Gedar and Musk.


The longevity of these perfumes are outstanding.What I love most about these perfumes is you can get those moments when the scent of the perfume just seems to intensify for a quick second at random intervals throughout the day, and this could be at the end of the night when my normal perfumes are usually long worn off. These perfumes are super inexpensive and I also got it on sale at just €5.99 when usually I think they are around €7.99. These are perfect for treating others to or even yourself. I would totally push you to check them out in stores before they are gone.

Other Perfumes in the Collection:
Love Doesn't Lie Eau de Toilette 100ml 
Friday Forever Eau de Toilette 100ml
One Time Lover Eau de Toilette 100ml

My Top 10 Drugstore Beauty Products!

Hello lovelies,
As ye should know by now I am a major drugstore junkie. I am a sucker for boots sales and I always get caught when I say "I'm only going to go in there for a quick browse". I thought it'd be a great idea to show you what things I love that are from the drugstore and these are things I seriously can't leave without. I have been repurchasing these specific products for months and even years now. Everybody loves a great bargain and we most certainly get that when it comes to drugstore makeup. The makeup brands that we see in the drugstore have come such a long way in recent years and have really stepped up their game. The number of drugstore brands such as Rimmel, Maybelline, Seventeen ect that have come up with dupes to those higher end brands is just music to our ears.

Lets start of with base shall we?

 St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub - This is a scrub I use daily to get all that grim off my face that we all feel builds up especially in these warmer months. This scrub has definitely changed my skin and I couldn't live without it. It has been well hyped all over the internet and it definitely lives up to all expectations. I love using a scrub at night as I feel after a long day our skin really needs something that will gentle exfoliate the skin without being too harsh, a product to invigorate the skin and get those blood cells pumping in order to stop any dullness that may occur and of course avoid any build up of dead skin cells around the face especially in the T zone area where we tend to produce more oil.
 St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub €5.79 // Here

L'Oreal MLumi Magique Illuminating Highlighting Base/Primer  - This illuminating face primer is definitely a hidden gem of mine. It is perfect for those days/nights when you want a real glow to the skin without looking like a disco ball. This primer is a runny type consistency and it also has a white payoff without giving a white cast to the face. It is a very illuminating primer without having big chunks of glitter in it. I love using illuminating primers as I still haven't found a foundation that is meant to give a glow to the skin without making me look oily. My trick is to use an illuminating primer with a matte foundation and then over top use more highlighter than I usually would whether that is a cream or a powder.
L'Orèal Lumi Magique Illuminating Highlighting Base /Primer €14.99 // Here


Maybelline 24Hour Pro Matte Foundation - Now if you've seen my Living For It Friday Blogpost then you know how much I have raved about this foundation. This foundation is definitely the best foundation to come out of the drugstore in my opinion. For us girls that love our high coverage but could never seem to get that with drugstore foundations, Maybelline have come to save the day. It is definitely a foundation that is matte and if you have any dryness on the skin you must make sure your skin is well prepped and moisturised. With most foundations that are labelled matte you would think "flat" but in no way is this foundation flat, it almost has this underlying dew to it which just makes your skin look so flawless.
Maybelline 24Hour Pro Matte Foundation €12.29 // Here

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder - If you haven't tried this powder before then I seriously don't know where you have been hibernating for the last few years. This is 100% the best drugstore setting powder invented. For any oily girls out there this is a life savior, I tend to get oily around my T-Zone whenever I have foundation on. After a few hours wear we all tend to get a little oily and this just stops any of this. I never seem to have to powder repeatedly throughout the day with this powder. It locks my foundation in place all day and keeps it looking flawless and zero shine. This is the perfect powder for both everyday wear and also for those late night outs.
Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder €4.99 // Here

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in 'Milk'- Last year when I found out that NYX was going to be stocked in Ireland it was definitely music to my ears. I have been obsessed with the whole NYX range for ages now and their Jumbo Eye Pencils are definitely my top purchased product. This shade milk is the perfect first purchase of Nyx in my opinion. It is the most amazing base for eyeshadow as it keeps it lasting way longer than if you were to not use any base. It also is a white shade so it brings out the true colour of the eyeshadow and really intensifies the colour of the shadow you are using. It seriously makes any eyeshadow shade x10 times more pigmented than what you would generally get from an shadow.
NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in 'Milk' €4.99 // Here

Sleek Eyebrow Kit in 'Light'- This is my far the most well used product I have in my makeup collection by a mile. This eyebrow kit has both a wax side and a powder side to set the wax in place and to make sure it stays in place all day.This brow kit is a dupe for the 'Benefit Eyebrow Kit'. Its is such an inexpensive kit for the insane quality you get. This kit comes in 4 shades (Light, Dark, Extra Dark, Black) and it is perfect for creating both a natural everyday brow and also for that well defined brow. The wax goes through the brows very smoothly and doesn't make the brows look clumpy. This sleek kit also comes with a mini angled synthetic brow brush, a rounded synthetic brow brush and also a mini tweezers.(How adorable right?)
Sleek Eyebrow Kit in 'Light' €10.99 // Here

Bourjois Bronzing Primer Mouse - I purchased this product quite awhile ago and I just can't get enough. The bronzing primer can be used both under your base as a primer for the bronzer and over the base makeup. This is perfect for those days when you want that natural bronzed makeup look without having the look of any powder sitting on the skin. If you are a contour lover like myself then you will be very happy to hear that this is perfect for sculpting out those cheek bones. This is such a universal product as you can use it all over the body, a tip when using this product is to mix some of the mouse with your regular body moisturiser, this gives such a natural bronzed glow to the skin. Another dupe? Oh yes, If you're looking for a much more affordable alternative to the 'Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel' which is €39 then this is a perfect product for you.
Bourjois Bronzing Primer Mouse €12.99 // Here

NYX Matte Lipstick 'Natural Mauve'- The NYX Matte Lipstick range is just amazing. The longevity and pigmentation of these lipsticks is just out of this world. They last so long on the lips and the range of colours that are available is just mind blowing. Whether you are the type of girl who goes for the more mauvey/brown shades or the type of girl who likes the bright shades they have the perfect colours. This is by far my favourite shade in the range, It is definitely the well known 'Kylie Jenner' shade and I am obsessed. It goes onto the lips very smoothly and even though it is a matte lipstick it doesn't stick or bring out any dry areas of the lips.
NYX Matte Lipstick 'Natural Mauve' €7.49 // Here

Wet n Wild Mega Last Lipstick 'Bare It All'- Wet n Wild is defintiely a brand which have just blown me away. Their products are so inexpensive but most importantly, they give you such value for money with their amazing pigmentation and array of different products. This lipstick is definitely my most used Wet n Wild product. Again it is my favourite mauvey/brown shade and it is a well known dupe for the 'Mac Blankety'. This lipstick lasts ages and I love how different the top of the lipstick is compared to your average triangle shaped lipstick. It goes onto the lips so easily and this range of lipsticks provide a huge array of shades from your vampy/dark colours all the way to the nudey/pinks. 

Wet n Wild Lipstick 'Bare It All' €2.99 // Here

Rimmel Liquid Eyeliner in 'Black Glamour'- This liquid eyeliner has been in the collection for years and I have repurchased this product way too many times to even count. It has an amazing longevity and most importantly, the colour payoff is extremely black. The brush is very thin so this makes it easy to get your preferred eyeliner width, whether you are going for that thin everyday liner or whether you are going for that strong and bold liner. This is the perfect liquid eyeliner and I don't have any reason to go and buy a more expensive one.

Living For It Friday!

Hey loves,

Look who is back...After my first hectic and stressful year of college completed i am finally able to just sit down and relax and really enjoy myself with my blog. I've been thinking of so many ideas for my blog and I have a lot of posts roughly written out which are both beauty related and excitingly I have also decided to broaden my blog and start to incorporate more lifestyle type blogpost for you guys.

 So I have been loving some products lately which I feel deserve their own little blogpost and shout-out. So this series is called 'Living For It Friday'. In these blogposts I will be talking about any product from beauty, fashion and even lifestyle to which I am LOVING or should I say 'LIVING' for. These type post will only be up on Fridays and hopefully I will have one up for ye once every month or so. 

To kick off the first of many 'Living For It Friday' series, I will be talking about the 'L'Oreal Paris Infallible Matte Foundation'. Let me just start off by saying..WOWZA. This is a foundation which has been crazily hyped on Youtube, Facebook, Instagram by not only beauty bloggers but everyday social media users. This foundation is meant to be a drugstore dupe for the 'Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation' which I love with all my heart and soul but being a student with a very student budget I find myself trying to find these dupes very often.



Since running out of my 'Estee Lauder Double Wear' I just couldn't withstand the hype, that I just had to see what all the hype was about. Usually I am one which doesn't buy much of the products which  have been overly hyped unless a few of my favourite bloggers have said there opinion. But boy am I happy I finally gave in. The coverage on this foundation is definitely medium to high coverage which is beautiful and so easily build-able. It definitely gives the same look as the double wear but the texture it leaves on the skin is quite different. The 'L'Oreal Paris Infallible Matte' has a powdery feeling as you blend and work it into the skin.

I have the color '13 Natural Beige'. At first application I felt as though it was a bit pinkish and lighter than expected as I was looking for a shade to wear when I have tan on as its coming into the summer months and I've been obsessed with wearing tan lately. But once i have applied my concealer and it has set onto the skin it gives the most amazing flawless finish that suits my skin and tan amazingly.




 It gives a matte finish which I love and is a key factor in any foundation that I buy. I usually have dry combination skin which at the moment it seems to be quite normal, I find with certain foundations they make my T-Zone quite oily when usually without makeup I don't get very oily. But with this angel sent from the gods, there is no oil what so ever. In my opinion I would only need to powder if I was going on a night out with the girls but not on an everyday basis. But if you are a person who finds themselves getting quite oily throughout the day I can definitely say this would stay in place perfectly with a good setting powder.

This foundation lasts all day, On me personally I feel there is no need to powder and no need to touch up. It amazes me how long it lasts and how well it stays put throughout the day. Since this is a very matte foundation It must be said that preparation is KEY! The skin definitely must be prepped well and moisturized well. If you find that your skin is very flakey and has a few dry patches i don't think this foundation will sit well with you. Even on myself if I have a dry patch on the outside on my face it will attach to that dry patch, but saying that I do feel that preparation is key and if the skin is well moisturized and hydrated it wont be a big problem.

Another must for this foundation which must be noted is that it doesn't break me out! Most heavy coverage foundations will break me out around my T-zone and especially where my pores are. But since using this I haven't broken out in that area at all after wearing this foundation. At just €12.29 I feel that this is definitely worth a try if you feel as though this will suit your skin and of course if you've been intrigued about this foundation for as long as i have.

I bought mine from my local boots and you can also buy online here.

December Goodies



Who doesn't like getting some goodies that they've had on their wishlist for so long? whether it is from yourself as a little present or from loved ones,we are all enthusiastic to dive into our new products and give them some testing hehe. But nothing is better than giving people presents and seeing the smiles on their faces(hopefully!)

Due to it being both my birthday and christmas in December i was a very very lucky girl! Being a makeup fanatic i love receiving some beauty bits and was so excited to try them out. So witout waffling too much i guess we'll get into the goodies.

Urban Decay Naked 2 Pallete
WOWZA,WOWZA,WOWZA..I was so happy when i recieved this pallete and i nearly died when i opened the palette, i never realised how amazing it is and how beautiful all the colours are. They are so pigmented and just well worth every cent. You also get a double sided brush and a sample of four of their eyeshadow primers. Urban Decay eyeshadows are definitely my most used and my absolute favourite eyeshadows ever! Ive had two 'Naked 1 Palletes' and they are both well well used!




Benefit Cutie Cravings Gift Set
This is definitly one of my top three things i ever got from benefit! It has everything youd want and need, almost like a sample of their top sellers! It Contains the amazing 'Theyre Real Mascara', the 'Porefessional Primer'. the 'Hola Bronser' which is just flawless on all levels of flawlessness, the lipstick called 'Fauxmance'. It Also contains 4 eyeshadows which are displayed below..





Inglot Eyeshadow and Eyeshadow Palette
I was so happy to finally try out these eyeshadows since they are all the 'must haves' in Ireland at the moment, now these i got for myself! I had a few ideas going in there what shades i wanted but when i got there it was so packed i kind of freaked out! But the shades i got are just so perfect and very 'me' i should say! i got 3 warm shades and 1 cool toned shade, the swatches are below as always! These shadows are just €6 each and this amazing pallete was just €15. The colours are so pigmented and just mind blowingly amazing!













NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil (French Fries Frites)
All the hype about these are so unbelievably true, I have already fallen head over heels in-love with the colour 'Milk' its perfect for getting that true to colour representation of the colour you're using and also it works as the best primer, especially for us oily eyelid girls like myself. This colour is perfect for using all over the eyelid with just a sweep of a bronze colour to set it in place, i feel like tanya burr when i wear it.


NYX Lipliner in (MAUVE 831)
I have never been one for a lipliner, I love just being able to throw on my lipstick and not have to sit there and outline my lips. But recently i've been doing it and it just really gives a shape to my lips and shows the true shape of them. It also makes the lipstick last way longer and this colour is a trye 'Kylie Jenner' colour.




Oriflame Lipstick in (Honey Chestnut)
As you can see this packaging is actually to die for, it is absolutely gorgeous and it is just such an amazing colour, It is so moisturizing and yet it still has an outstanding colour pay off, i just want to buy the whole line because the packaging is so pretty and of course the product aint to shabby either ;)


Brittney Spears Perfume in Midnight
This is my scent, no matter what perfume i start to purchase i will always come back to this! It lasts all day and just smells amazing! Its more of a fruity scent and it is always on sale during christmas and valentines! Definitely worth a smell.

Soap and Glory Irresistibubble Gift Set
Now i haven't tried any of these products yet, but i have heard amazing things about this body butter and shower wash! I am so excited to try these this weekend, i love the smell of sugar and candy so im so looking forward to smelling like a bag of candy!




Hope ye enjoyed this blogpost,

What's In My Bag?




So recently i have converted myself from a backpack kind of girl to a handbag type of girl. Now of course when i have a lot of things to carry or even if its really bad weather that day i do prefer to take my backpack with me. But most days i love my new (celine-esque) handbag from of course, my favourite place on earth!! Pennys/Primark for just €11. I love the mono-chrome look to it which in my opinion is always in style and it is most definitely in style this autumn/winter. Now i must admit, it does take time to get use to having a bag hang of your arm but it is so worth it.

This bag is very spacious on the inside and it holds all the stuff i need for college and everyday whether im just going to town or to my friends house ect. It also has a very flat pocket in the front which is perfect for your student ID, your phone and any necessities that are compact and that you find yourself reaching for a lot,



 So enough on my amazing bag, whats in it?

Of course i always have to have my purse in there, whether its for college for my I.D or just in general for my cards and age card.



I then have my planner, this is so useful for me as i find i can plan my meals ahead of time so i don't binge last minute. This is also good for writing down some blog ideas and if I have any plans which will take place next week ect as I'm quite forgetful.



I ALWAYS and i mean always have to have my phone charger in my bag, the battery my I Phone is the bane of my life, so no matter where i go my phone always decides to go dead and i have to search  high and low for a plug.





A few pens thrown in there from college will always be there.

GUM! gum is a saviour for college and anytime really! I love getting the big tubs of gum as they last forever and you don't feel like you need to keep them all to yourself because you might run out, "Sharing Is Caring Ladies"!


Depending on if its the weekend or during the week i will have a refill pad in there for college as i am always taking notes in the lectures and always have to write something down.



Earphones are so handy in college especially when you're in the labs and you have some time to kill and you decide to watch a movie or even a tv series! lifesavers when you're in college.


I Have to have my 'flo' which is the exact same thing as a travelo, Its perfect to have at the end of your bag to spray during the day no matter where you are, i find it very useful for college and mostly if I'm going on a night out.  How it works? you spray some of your favourite perfume at the moment into the bottom of the flo which twists off.


 And of course some receipts, which just love to lie around at the end of my bag! clutter,clutter,clutter!

Hope ye liked this blogpost,
