Hey guys, it's Alison! Guess it's time for my first post on the blog...
It feels like just yesterday when I was off to college for the first time. I can't believe it's November already! College has been amazing so far and I've had the time to discover so many new things.
I've loved these lashes ever since I wore them to my debs. They are easy to apply and look great on everyone. The only problem that I had with them is that I can never find them anywhere except on the internet, because they're not sold in Ireland. When I was at the Professional Beauty Show with Ciara at the start of the month, I spotted them and stocked up on a few pairs!
Milani is one of my favourite drugstore makeup brands because they make great quality products for a good price. I got a friend to pick this up for me when she was in America. The colour blush I have is the Baked Powder Blush in Luminoso. This blush has a slight shimmer to it, I don't think the shimmer is too harsh for a blush, in fact you barely notice it at all! If you're looking for the right coral blush, this is perfect for you.
MAC's Uninterrupted Pro Longer Eyeshadow is not an eyeshadow that I would normally wear, but this shadow is the perfect transition shade for the crease. My favourite time to use this shadow is either when I'm doing a black smoky eye or any brown smoky eye.
L'Oreal Paris Infallible 24H-Matte foundation is one of my all time favourite foundations. I wear the shade 10 porcelain because I'm so pale. Infallible is a high coverage foundation which I love.
It's perfect for a night out because it definitely won't budge and it will stay matte throughout the night. I wouldn't recommend this for people who have dry skin as it's so matte, but if you need a little help in the t-zone area, it does pair well with other foundations.

I can't believe that I finally caved and bought this concealer. I have wanted it for so long. I use the shade NC15. This concealer has to be one of my favourites, the coverage is amazing and it definitely lasts all night without fading or creasing under the eyes. I usually wear this with the Infallible foundation.
I am so in love with my Erin Condren Life Planner. This has definitely helped me with keeping organised in College. I don't think I could have gone without it. It's so colourful and vibrant. This is exactly what I look for in a planner because it makes me want to plan out what I have to do each week to stay on top of all my work. I did however have a problem with my order, but I emailed the customer service and they replied to me straight away. They shipped out my missing pieces from my order and it arrived very promptly.
My miss of the month has to be Milano's in Cork. I went there with my aunt over midterm and the whole experience was just terrible! The standard of our food was shocking and the customer service we received was appalling. I love Milano but it was my first time in their Cork branch and I definitely won't be heading back anytime soon. They were also very slow in responding to their customer service email (It took a week to get any reply) and when I responded to that email, it opened up a completely new ticket. Their email service is definitely something they need to work on.
