Inglot Haul

I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas! I spent the day with my family and I couldn't have asked for anything better!

Another good thing about the day was that I finally got to open all the Inglot goodies I had gotten for Christmas :)

I literally bought everything on the same day (although on three separate visits)!

The first thing I bought was AMC Cream Foundation in the shade LW100. This foundation is great for dry skin and if you ask, they will match the foundation to your skin colour! 

AMC Cream Foundation is available for €24

The next item I bought was Under Makeup Base with SPF 20. This base is moisturising so it is perfect for dry skin! The base is not clear, it's white. 

Under Makeup Base with SPF 20 is available for €22

I love dark lipsticks and I never found a lip liner I like, The AMC Lip Pencil in shade 33 is perfect for dark berry colours! It is a matte lip liner and I have swatched it above. 

The AMC Lip Pencil is available for €13

I bought four different lipsticks in my haul as well!

I swatched them on my arm and from left to right the shades are 293, 902, 422 and 404.

Shade 293 is a dark berry colour perfect for the autumn and winter months! It is a long-lasting lipstick that is easy to apply and I'm a sucker for deep colours. The lip liner I bought also goes well with this lipstick!

Shade 902 is a light pink colour with shimmer throughout - perfect for parties or with a LBD!

Shade 422 is a matte lipstick so you will have to use a lip scrub and lip balm before applying this lippy! Although purple lipstick won't suit everyone, it is great for those aiming for an edgy look!

Shade 404 is a matte nude colour - everyone needs to have a nude in their makeup bag and this is a must!

All of the lipsticks are available for €14!

I also bought ten single eye shadows in my haul! I got five for my sister and five for myself so I only have five of the shades shown in my haul picture. All of the eye shadows were bought using the Freedom System!

The first eye shadow I got is a cream coloured highlighter in shade 393.

The three browns (from left to right) are shade 135, 134 and 145.

The last eye shadow is a purple shade. It was an impulse buy so I'm not too sure what I'll be doing with it yet but keep an eye on my instagram and I will have posts up soon!

All of the eye shadows were €6 and the palette was €10!

There are Inglot stores in Dublin, Cork and Limerick or you can shop online at inglot.ie

Claire's Christmas Gift Guide

EIGHT DAYS UNTIL DECEMBER 25TH!

So I can officially say Merry Christmas to everybody!

If you've left your Christmas shopping a little late (I think we all have one or two gifts left to buy!), here are my top picks from the Claire's Accessories Christmas Collection 2014. They're perfect for best friends, sisters, cousins and even mums! My list could go on for days so I put my top five gifts in this post and the link to the whole Christmas collection is below!

All these gifts are very affordable and you can buy them online at http://www.claires.co.uk/christmas/style/fcp-category/list?resetFilters=true

or in your local Claire's store!

My top pick this year has to be the Eiffel Tower Jewellery Gift Set. This is a two piece gift set, a necklace and a bracelet. The necklace has a mini eiffel tour, a pink heart and a small postcard that says 'I love you'. The bracelet has five charms, an eiffel tour, a small pink heart, a postcard, a pink ribbon and a small silver gem. If, like me, you love Paris then you'll love this gift set! The two only cost €9.99.

Where would a girl be without a compact mirror? The Silver Glitter Heart Mirror is a must-have this Christmas. This cute mirror will fit in most clutches for the party season and is a steal at €4.99!

Earrings make any outfit.  These adorable Tinsel Wreath Bell Drop Earrings will go with any outfit you have planned for the Christmas season! They can even be given as Secret Santa gifts :), especially as they only cost €4.

The cold winter weather means hats are a given. The Cream Oversized Pom-Pom Beanie is perfect for crisp winter days. This chunky knit has pink and grey details throughout and costs €14.99.

Lip balms are essential for winter. The cold weather brings chapped lips to new heights! I love trying out new lip balms and this year, the Candy Cane Lip Balm was definitely a favourite! It smells divine and is the perfect stocking filler for anyone or even as a little treat to yourself! This festive-themed lip balm is available for €2.50 in Claire's stores.

I hope you enjoyed my top picks from Claire's Christmas collection,

if you have any favourites let me know in the comments below!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Lush!

 There are only fifteen days until Christmas! FIFTEEN PEOPLE! It is so close and I love this time of year so much!

The past week was even more festive than usual because the lovely people in Lush invited me to a blogger event in their Henry Street store!

The range of festive treats for the bath were amazing! Although Candy Mountain is my favourite Lush product ever (I literally stock up every Christmas!), the bath melts for Christmas come in a close second.

Snow Angel is a bath melt new to the range this year and it is divine! The gold layer of sparkles melts away leaving the bath lovely and golden while the cocoa butter leaves your skin feeling smooth and moisturised. The Snow Angel smells like rose absolute, a floral comforting smell that enhances the Christmas mood! This bath melt retails at €4.95.

 All the bubble bars for Christmas are so adorable! The Christmas Penguin is a lovely citrus smelling bubble bar. Crumble it under running water and watch your bath come alive with bubbly glaciers! This bath bomb will generally last for four to five baths! The Christmas Penguin retails at €4.25.

Holly Golightly, (Yes, just like the character in Breakfast at Tiffany's) a new bubble bar to the range this year is shaped and designed just like a Christmas pudding. The deep green colour on the inside of the bar gives the bath and 'Christmas tree green' look and the festive spice fragrance is just like Hot Toddy. The glorious Holly Golightly retails for €5.95.

As well as seeing all the festive range at lush, we also got to have a look at the new shampoo bar and massage bar range. 

The new shampoo bars are suited to all kinds of hair! Montalbano (the vibrant yellow) has a lovely citrus scent and will leave your hair nice and shiny. Jason and Argan Oil (deep pink) is fabulous for repairing damaged hair and smells just like rose jam. Honey I Washed My Hair (cream) is toffee-scented and will add softness and shine to any hair! Brazilliant (orange) literally smells like oranges and is great for curly hair. Copperhead has a coffee scent and is great for those with darker-toned hair. Finally, my personal favourite, Lullaby. It smells like lavender and is great for dry hair! These retail for about €6 or €7 each - they're great as they last up to eighty washes!

 

They also launched five new massage bars: Percup, Shades of Earl Grey, Dirty Massage bar,  Yes Yes Yes and the Pearl massage bar. My favourite is Pearl. It smells heavenly and I definitely prefer these to massage oils! All you have to do is rub the bar between your hands for a few seconds to melt it slightly then massage it into your skin - it's even better when someone does it for you!

These new massage bars are adding to the existing range and retail for about €8 each!

Thank you to the lovely staff at Lush Henry Street! I had a wonderful time!
