19th Birthday Wishlist

Hey guys!

So I'm turning 19 on the 19th (I hope you get as much satisfaction out of it as I've had over the past few weeks) and I have compiled yet another wishlist of things I would absolutely love to get for my birthday.

By no means am I expecting any of this but I would very much love it all the same.

Return to Tiffany Necklace

So this was on my wishlist last year and will remain on any birthday/holiday wishlist until I have one in my life, I'm that obsessed. I think the engraving idea is wonderful as well and if I was to get one, I would engrave CK on the back in script or french script, yes I have thought about it that much!

Tiffany necklaces are available online through their website and in Brown Thomas on Grafton Street.

Colourpop It's Vintage Mini Mattes

I love Colourpop so much and my collection is ever growing and their ultra matte lips are a staple on a night out! I love the It's Vintage collection because it's full of nudes and burgundy shades, basically my favourites!

It's Vintage is available off the Colourpop website and I am so happy that they deliver internationally now!

MAC Nutcracker Sweet Bronze Pigments and Glitter Kit

I absolutely love MAC's Holiday Collection this year and this kit is gorgeous. I love all of the different shades in this kit and I can see me wearing this on Christmas Day already, the different pigments just scream Christmas to me!

The Sweet Bronze Kit is available from Brown Thomas in store and online!

InTheStyle Pandora Jumpsuit

I love this jumpsuit so much and think it would be gorgeous for Christmas parties or just a night out! Especially as it's getting colder and it's not too skimpy!

The Pandora Jumpsuit is available from InTheStyle's website!

Erin Condren Life Planner

I'm such an organised person and I would love to have a 2017 Erin Condren Life Planner to keep everything together. I would have so much fun with monthly/weekly sticker kits and I just need one of these in my life!

Life Planner's are available from Erin Condren's website and they ship to Ireland.

Too Faced Melted Matte - Queen B

I am such a big fan of Too Faced and haven't had a chance to pick up a melted matte yet. Literally every single time I go into Debenhams I lust over Queen B and it's never in stock!

Melted Mattes are available in store and on Debenhams website.

Sephora Favourites Trending: Beauty's Most Coveted

So I know there's no Sephora in Ireland but I have seen so many bloggers talking about this set and I need it. It's full of so many brands and products that I would love to try and the price of this box is only a fraction of the collective value.

Sephora's Beauty's Most Coveted is available in stores (but is very limited in stock)!

Over the Knee (Thigh High) Socks

So thigh high socks were in my October favourites during the week and I mean you can never have too many pairs. Forever 21 have such a fab selection online and I would love some of their burgundy or lace socks to wear around the house!

Forever 21's selection is available online and they have a small selection in store!

Scented Candles

I always have a candle or two lighting in my room when I'm doing work or just chilling, I love the glow they give off and the scent of my favourite candles just makes me so happy! I cannot wait to get my hands on Penney's Winter Dream candle and Yankee Candle's Baby Powder or Clean Cotton jars!

American Candy

I love American candy so much and recently came across a website that ship to Ireland called Queens of Candy and I have fallen in love with their Oklahoma and North Carolina hampers!

Queens of Candy have a large selection of American candy on their website for amazing prices!

So there you have it! My 19th birthday wishlist!

I would be thrilled to get anything off the list for my birthday and am looking forward to celebrating the day with my friends and family.

Ciara,

xoxo.

My Birthday Wishlist

It's my 18th Birthday on November 19th wooooo!

Apparently I'm really hard to shop for (I completely disagree but whatever) so I decided to post my Birthday Wishlist to help anyone who doesn't know what to get me. 

Glossybox is a beauty subscription service that sends you a few mystery products in the post to try out. I've always loved the idea of subscription services, even though I would only get it for a month, I love the whole mystery behind what's in the box!

MAC's Stone is such a nice cool toned shade that I just need to have!

I cannot wait to see the girls next March and I would love to get the deluxe version of Get Weird for my birthday!

I have been lusting over Michel Kors' Selma bags for ages and I officially love the merlot shade of the bag. I think I'll end up treating myself for my birthday because I love this bag that much!

What girl doesn't want a Tiffany necklace? If you really want to spoil me for my birthday,  I would literally cry if I opened a box and found this necklace!

I have always wanted a polaroid camera and would love to get one for my birthday!

I think satchels are super cute and would love one in any warm colour for the winter months!

You can never have too many lashes! I love Vegas Nay's new collection with Eylure and would love to add some to my collection.

I have heard so many great things about this Miss Manga mascara but I haven't had a chance to pick one up myself yet!

I love Penney's Christmas candle range! I already bought the Frosted Marshmallow one but I need them all!

I am so excited for my birthday and I hope my wishlist is useful for some people!

What's your current wishlist?

Let me know in the comments below!

It's been a year...

As embarrassing as it is, here's my first post on Sparkle Of Pink.

My Very First Post

I have been a blogger for a year now and I have to say, it is one of the best decisions I have ever made! I love blogging so much! I have an excuse to buy more makeup, I get to blog about what I love and I have gotten to meet some amazing people through blogging! 

To celebrate my year of blogging, I'm doing a little giveaway! Everything in the giveaway was bought using my own money, except for the Wet n' Wild lip gloss and eyeliner which I got at the Irish Blogger Conference. These two products are part of the giveaway because I know I will never use them and I should give them to someone who will!

The giveaway has some really nice things I have picked up in shops over the past few weeks!

                                    

You can enter the giveaway below and on my Facebook page!
The giveaway is open until Thursday July 23rd 2015 and is only open to residents on the island of Ireland.

The Irish Blog Awards are also coming up soon and I would love if you could nominate me! It would be amazing and only takes a few seconds :)

Nominate Me Here!

If you've been here for a year, thank you for sticking around! If you just dip in and out of my blog, thank you! If it's your first time checking out my blog, thanks for taking the time! Thanks to all of the companies and brands that have worked with me during the past year and I look forward to working with you again!

Here's to the next year!

Ciara,

xoxo.

London Trip and MY BIRTHDAY

Okay so I did not post last weekend because I was in LONDON with my family!

 It is such a beautiful city, I loved it so much. I arrived on Friday and left Sunday night so it was a bit of a rushed trip to get everything done but we did. On Friday we spent ages in Harrods. All the windows were filled with stunning Christmas displays and the Christmas shop was lovely.

They really went to a lot of effort and it truly does pay off. Each window is different and my favourite was the Ballerina trinket box because it reminded me of The Nutcracker :)

On Saturday I did all my shopping! I only shopped on Regent Street and Oxford Street, it literally took the whole day! My favourite thing I bought has to be the maroon oversized jumper I got in H&M, it's so cute and cozy. I purely bought it because I have been looking for a jumper long enough to wear with knee highs for a while and I fell in love with the jumper as soon as I saw it! 

 I ended up buying a lot of makeup in Superdrug as well. It is so sad that we don't have any over here but I love the store so much! I got the iconic one, two and three palettes from Makeup Revolution, some bronzer and blusher from MUA, the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer and I bought some lipstick and lip liner in KIKO.

I bought a lot more but if I was to list everything, I would be here all day!

On Saturday evening, I went to see Big Ben in the dark. It was absolutely beautiful!

On Sunday, it was sightseeing day :) 

The first place we went to was the Tate Modern and I only went in to see Rothko's paintings. Although I did not feel any overpowering emotions when I saw the paintings, I cannot deny that they are amazing works of art!

 After the Tate we went to see the poppies which were in the process of being removed but they really were beautiful! We saw the Shard, the bridge that the death eaters attacked in Harry Potter

Towards the end of the day we made our way to Buckingham Palace and walked through St.James' Park. I don't think I have seen that many squirrels in one place ever!

I was staying in a penthouse in Vincent Square and the apartment was so pretty!

So, TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY! I'm finally 17 :) 

I had a half day in school so I got out at around one which was fab!

I had a lovely dinner with the fam and my mum made me the nicest victoria sponge cake (thanks mum!). 

I got wonderful cards from my family and I am so grateful for the presents I got as well. I am having my party in a few weeks so that should be fun!

Happy Birthday to me 

Have any of you guys been to London recently?

Let me know what your favourite thing to do in the city is!

xoxo,

Ciara.
