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 5^th 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

LETS KEEP SUMMER GOING! MY SUMMER ESSENTIALS.

So as its the end of summer i thought id do a very summer inspired blogpost to make us prolong these summer feelings. During these amazing and VERY hot months i kind of start to realise what i use on an everyday basis and things i cant go without on these hot days. As it is well known summer usually in Ireland consists or clouds and a lot of rain, not your typical summer weather! But this summer has been completely different. It has been very hot and almost like ive been away all summer,temperatures up to high 20's! which is crazy for ireland, it has been a consist heat wave which we do not dislike!

So my first summer essential and almost a must-have is deodorant and perfume. Because of the hotness and the humidity it has raised the great need for deodorant, we cant be having any sweaty armpits now! The deodorant that i feel that really works is the 'dove original' .I feel as though its long lasting and keeps those pits smelling good. It also very good at making sure there is no white residue or powder that transfers onto your clothes. My favourite perfumes at the moment are the Katy Perry 'purr' perfume and also i have Beyonce 'Heat' , these scents are both very fruity and have that real summer smell and are what i wear everyday! They also last all day and night which is good when you're out for a long period of time and don't want to be spraying yourself every hour!

My one makeup item that i use mostly everyday is the 'Lash Blast Volume' by Covergirl! I only have this about 3 weeks but it just makes my eyelashes so much more voluminised and also give them great length, because i have very light eye lashes its important that the mascara is a true black and also has the right brush in which it gets to the roots of the eyelashes. This is a true essential!!

Another essential of mine in summer has to be a body moisturizer! Since its summer season and of course of skin is gonna be on more show than in winter when we are like Eskimos. And of course our legs are on show since the sun has been amazing and its been a killer heat season! Because of this we must make sure our legs are even just a bit acceptable cause i dunno about ye but its a big effort summer season, so having a good shave and a decent moisturizer makes that effort seem a lot more bearable. My Favourite Razor is the Gillette "Simply Venus 3". It gives me a really close shave and i have smooth legs for a lot longer than any other razor that Ive tried.

 I have 3 favourite moisturizers.

• My all time favourite is the lush 'Celebrate' moisturizer. This is enriched with citrus scents and oils that make your skin feel so soft and make any dry skin disappear immediately. As i'm putting this on i feel as though i am indeed treating myself! This is a thick consistency and because of this i apply it at night so it has a good amount of time to really absorb into the skin.

•  I also do this with my next favourite which is the Palmer's 'Cocoa Butter Formula' Body Lotion, this as it says does really smell like you mixed butter and cocoa powder together, it isnt the greatest smell but its AMAZING at moisturizing the skin!! As i said i do like to put this on in well advance or just before i go to bed to really let it absorb into the skin. I love this stuff, its absolutely well worth the cost! I know here in Ireland it is quite expensive for a lotion from the drugstore at around €10 but its really not that costly as it lasts ages!

• If you're looking for a body moisturizer/lotion that is good for on the go or not a heavy or thick consistency i would definitely recommend the Nivea 'Irresistibly Smooth Body Lotion'. I have two of these and they are both amazing! They really do nourish the skin and make it less dry, although i do feel as though my legs do get quite dry but if i use this everyday it does a really good job and it is at a very inexpensive price, you just can never go wrong with Nivea.

Next of course is the Tan, and of course ye should all know i swear by my love of cocoa brown tan!! ITS AMAZING! i literally never have any problems with it, no streaks at all, its so easy to use and apply. And im quite pale and it doesn't look orange or anything, it looks like a rich tan colour and then i like to have a quick body shower. This is just so i cant get of the slight tan smell and the top layer which just sits on the skin and this gives me the most amazing tan colour EVER! The only thing i would change is the dispenser, i got the travel pack which is 'woooowza', it contains a travel size of the moisturizer, scrub and of course the tan. And this tan had the pump dispenser which i much prefer over the original one.

My two favourite nail varnishes to use lately have been the rimmel '030 Double Decker Red' which is a vibrant red colour and really does protray the colour of summer. This colour is amazing on both tanned and pale people and is a hugee favourite of mine, i dont think i could live without this one! I use about 2 coats and this is perfect,it usually lasts about 4/5 days!  I Also have two other nail colour favourites that ive been constantly using this summer, these are both from Maybelline, '241 Orange Attack' sometimes a girl has got to embrace the orange and it looks so summery and really compliments any skin tone and i love it for both pale and tan times! '120 Urban Turquoise' is another favourite, this is a perfect blue for every season and i will be forever wearing and loving this colour! They also last a generous amount of time before it chips, great for such a reasonable price!

I hope ye enjoyed this post,

IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME IN LUSH!!

So for this blogpost i am gonna give you a look at the new and already existing products from lush!! So being a lover of lush it was great to be invited to their Christmas launch and it was so exciting as it was my first blogger event!

I can't rave anymore about how nice the staff in lush are, how informative they are on every product and the real passion they have for their work, it was such a pleasure to listen to the storys behind every product and seeing the new products if course! AND WHATS THE BEST? It is all organic and vegan.

So as soon as i got in their the staff were so nice and were asking if i needed anything, i also got a lovely personal look at all the new products and if i had to pick one word to describe them i would have to pick 'SMELLSENSUAL' every one of their products have a their own distinctive scent and a story behind them.

The most memorable product and most amazing product would have to be the 'Honey I Washed The Kids'. This product really stood out to me because of the heartwarming story behind it. So as you all know about the nuclear explosion that happened in the Ukraine on the 26th of April in 1986, at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. The explosion released a large amount of radioactive particles into the atmosphere which are still affecting the people that live near there today. People cannot use the local water or grow crops as they are still to this day contaminated with radiation. So as many lush stores aswell were affected due to this explosion , Lush came up with this AMAZING idea where to create the fun factor for the kids in the area they created this multipurpose product. You can use it for your hair and body, for a nice lathered bath or just for fun as it has this play doh type texture! And not only that but with every purchase 10c goes to helping the people affected by Chernobyl.

We also got a demonstration of how fast the bathbombs lather up, its amazing how much lather you get with such a small piece of the bathbomb! it felt so silky and soft when we put our hands in, it just makes you want a bath right then and there!!

So here are just a few of the amazing products they have for their Christmas line:

'Celebrate' €16.80/Each

This is the most amazing body lotion, it has a lime and orange scent and makes you rush in the shower just to put this on, it feels amazing on the skin and also contains very fine shimmer pigment to give a glow to the skin without being glittery.
