W7 Full Colour Lipstick Range

Finally a break from college work to write a blog post! Recently I discovered W7 cosmetics range and I absolutely love it! The quality of these products is astounding. I couldn't recommend them more! The 'Full Colour lipstick' range comes in 6 shades. It glides onto your lips and the colour immediately pops. It is also long lasting and was still on my lips after I ate. The shades that I recommend are Sand Piper and Angry Annie. I purchased mine for €2.99.

I have included a link of the stores in Leinster that supply the W7 range!

The 5 stages of a girlo breakup (playlist included)

Breakups, we all go through them as we get older. What we don't predict is the emotional roller coaster that's coming for us! Here's the 5 stages of a typical 'girlo breakup'. I've also included a breakup playlist.

                

Stage 1: The emotional wreck.

You're balling crying, you need your best friend. They come over and give you 'the pep talk'. You're fine, until they leave. Here come the tears again!

Stage 2: The stalker.

You go onto his Facebook page every 5 minutes, you know, just incase. You ask yourself all of these questions. "Why hasn't he been online in half an hour? Is he out with another girl?!?! I wonder if he's looking at my Facebook? Why hasn't he text me?!" 

Stage 3: "I don't need no man."

All you can think is that he's a complete idiot! "What did I ever see in him? Wait, what did I ever see in any man? They're all the exact same!'

Stage 4: "Let's get drunk!"

You call all of the girls and demand that you're going out. You're single again, this means you don't have to care about who you get with. Of course, you're going to painfully regret that you went near anyone the next morning. Why? You won't remotely remember the night before. 

Stage 5: "Why did I come here?"

You're in the club and drinks are flowing (not the tears for once!). But then you see him. "Ah shite, why did I come to this club? I knew he would be here!" Straight to the girls toilets you go and cry to any other drunken mess that will speak to you. Back to stage 1 you go! Keep that playlist on repeat! 

How to fight the frizz!!

I've always had quite dry hair that gets frizzy. My worst nightmare is the rain and wind especially straight after my hairs been washed! I've tried to tame my hair with so many products, finally I found two that never let me down when it comes to fighting frizz!

After I shampoo and condition my hair (post to follow soon about my top shampoos and conditioners) I apply John Frieda Frizz Ease Extra Strength 6 effects + serum to towel dried hair. I blow dry it and use a low heat to finish styling. When my hair is finally styled, I use Mark Hills Defrizz-ilicious Bedazzled Anti-Humidity Shine spray which seals the hair and gives it a great shine. Finally, I give it a quick brush and I'm ready for the day no matter what the weather's like! 

Mark Hill Defrizz-ilicious Bedazzled Anti-Humidity Shine spray 200ml is €5.66 and John Frieda Frizz Ease Extra Strength 6 effects + serum is €5.73. Both are available from Boots.ie or in store. 

Lancome miracle eye products!!

One of the gifts I got in my stocking for Christmas is the Lancome Hypnose Mascara and the Bi-Facial eye makeup remover. I wear eyeliner, eyeshadow and mascara every day so it put the remover to the test! I applied it to some cotton wool and placed it over each eye and after only a few wipes the makeup was fully removed. I couldn't recommend this product more! It comes in a 125ml bottle on its own in boots for €28.50 and is well worth it! You only need a small amount each use.

As mine was in a set, I've got to use the mascara and I'm very picky when it comes to mascaras. Usually, I like a thicker brush but I found this gave the same affect as a thicker brush would. I found there was no clumps and my eye lashes didn't end up sticking together. I also didn't have to over apply; two coats and I was all set for the day. You can purchase the mascara here and it is €27.50.

FLEETWOOD MAC TICKETS!!!!!

*** Girl screams *** I GOT MY FLEETWOOD MAC TICKETS!! 

I can't believe that after my numorous attempts at failing to get tickets, out of complete luck I managed to get my hands on two! Not only did I get my hands on two tickets; they're standing!! (More girl screams!!!) 

The thought of perhaps being within reach of Stevie Nicks and her famous twirling is mind blowing! If I manage to be so close to her, I imagine wearing a shawl and asking her to bless it in the name of Stevie. 

Fleetwood Mac are playing three Dublin gigs between June and July 2015. I missed out on tickets in Madison Square Garden in New York and then missed out on tickets for the first two dates in Dublin so when I went online to see if there was any left, I saw that a third date had been added! 

With shaking hands, I couldn't believe it when I found that standing tickets were available! Now to begin shawl hunting and practising my twirls!!  

Review: Clearasil Ultra Range

I usually clean my skin with makeup wipes and put moisturiser on but recently I noticed that my pores were beginning to clog up! Wearing makeup is going to have an affect on your skin so it's important to use a facial wash. I decided to test out the Clearasil Ultra range. I bought the 'All in 1 Wash and Mask' and the 'Blemish+Marks Scrub'. After following the instructions on the back of the tubes for two weeks I've noticed my skin completely clearing! Everything that was trapped in my pores cleared and I was left with a bright complexion. 

I have a combination skin type so I was a bit worried that it would completely dry different areas of my skin but it wasn't the case at all! I used my favourite Nivea moisturiser after applying the Clearasil products, which I find is extremely gentle on the skin. Both Clearasil products are €7.49 and the Nivea 'Soft' moisturiser 75ml tube is €3.49, which I think is a bargain!

Irresistible Perfume Scents

One thing I can't leave the house without is perfume. I think the perfume a woman wears says a lot about her personality. Christian Dior once said "A woman's perfume tells more about her than her handwriting". 

I've picked some of my favourite fragrances and I haven't chosen them according to what I think is pleasant in individual seasons as I think if a perfume works on a person, it works all year round.

Beyonce Wild Orchid is my favourite scent at the moment! When I first sprayed this on my skin, I immediately fell in love! It emits a feminine energy and is inviting and mesmerising. The fragrance note which stood out for me was the Coconut Water, it was like being on an exotic island. The Butterfly Orchid in the heart notes is believed to have magical aphrodisiac qualities, which gives the scent its exotic signature.

Fragrance Notes:

Top Notes: Coconut Water, Pomegranate, Boysenberry.

Heart Notes: Butterfly Orchid, Honeysuckle, Blooming Magnolia.

Base Notes: Blonde Woods, Skin Musks and Gilded Amber.

Boss Orange is a youthful fragrance. It is fruity and sensual. This is the type of scent you would wear on a date. The heart note of Orange Blossom is warming and alluring. This perfume wafts all over the room of the person it's on and you'd almost look for the free spirited looking person. That it what I feel it represents.

Fragrance Notes:

Top Notes: Sweet Apples.

Heart Notes: Orange Blossom and White Flower Notes.

Base Notes: Vanilla, Olive Wood and Sandalwood.

Midnight Fantasy is a seductive fragrance. The blend of fruity notes creates a mysterious and individual feel. Match this perfume with some deep red lipstick and become part of the flirtatious elements that pour from the heart notes of Freesia and Night Orchid. 

Fragrance Notes:

Top Notes: Plum, Black Cherry and Framboise.

Heart Notes: Iris, Night Orchid and Freesia.

Base Notes: Vanilla, Amber and Musk.

Hot Couture is for the glamorous woman. It's an elegant and flirtatious scent which shines through in the top note of Raspberry Nectar. You would imagine this fragrance on a confident lady, who takes pride in her every day appearance. 

Fragrance Notes:

Top Notes: Raspberry Nectar.

Heart Notes: Jasmine, Bergamot and Magnolia.

Base Notes: White Musk, Amber and Vetiver

Coco Chanel Mademoiselle is a classic vintage scent. It comes in both Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum. Personally, I prefer the Eau de Parfum as it's stronger. It's a luxurious fragrance and perfect for fancy get togethers. 

Fragrance Notes:

Top Notes: Sicilian Oranges, Sicilian Grapefruit and Calabrian Bergamot.

Heart Notes: Rose, Litchi and Jasmine.

Base Notes: Vanilla, White Musk, Indonesian Patchouli and Haitian Vetiver.

Flowerbomb is a floral explosion. It is instantly mood lifting and sophisticated. In the words of Viktor and Rolf themselves "Flowerbomb provides an opportunity to escape reality and heal the world. It's about transforming negative into positive". 

Fragrance Notes:

Top Notes: Green Tea and Bergamot. 

Heart Notes: Rose, Jasmine, Orchid and Freesia.

Base Notes: Patchouli and Musk.
