June Monthly Favourites.


 I haven't done a "Monthly Faves" in ages so since I've been trying out and loving a good few products I thought I'd share them with you. 

Beauty favourites.

Recently I've been loving doing my eye makeup. Therefore, most of my makeup favourites are "eye related." 

Firstly, I've been really enjoying using this W7 "In The Buff." eyeshadow palette. The shades are very neutral and wearable. They actually have great pigmentation for being so cheap too. This is definitely a dupe for the Naked 2 palette. 

My amazing sister Jen spoilt me by buying me the Zoeva rose gold set of eye makeup brushes. I've been loving the "Luxe crease Brush." It helps so much with defining and blending my crease.  I would highly recommend these brushes.

I really like this Catrice Kohl Kajal Eyeliner Pencil (040 White). I use this on my waterline to make my eyes appear bigger. It's very creamy so it draws on easily.

My favourite mascara these last 2 months has to be the Benefit "Big Gal Lash." i only have a tester but I will buy the big bottle eventually. 

I know the hype is the Benefit Roller Lash at the moment but I've yet to try it. This mascara really seperates and lengthens my lashes. I really like how it makes them look.

I've been filling in my eyebrows with the Essence Eyebrow Designer (05 soft brown). It's so cheap but really good. It's the perfect shade for my colour brows. 

Next is a non-makeup favourite. This Organix Coconut Milk Shampoo makes my hair very soft and healthy looking. it's definitely helping my hair to grow too as coconut is great for hair growth. 

As it's Summer, I wanted to add a little glow and bronze to my quite pale skin. This "Dove Summer Glow Nourishing Lotion" is perfect as it moisturises and gradually tans my skin. It's been working really well.

Fashion Favourites.

I just have one fashion favourite this month and it's my Denim Jacket from Stradivarius. It's the easiest thi9ng to just chuck on but makes an outfit look much dressier. I LOVE IT!

Other Favourites.

Watermelon has been my favourite fruit to eat recently. It's so refreshing and is really good when frozen too. 

As you will know if you read my last post, I went to see Kodaline in concert. I've been listening to their older album "In A Perfect World"non-stop. Their music is so good and really good to listen to. 

That's all my favourites from last month. Let me know in the comments if you've tried any of these products. Thanks for reading! I post at least twice a week so follow if you want to be updated.

OOTN - Kodaline Concert.

Hey Guys! I'm back again :) I went to see Kodaline in Concert last night. They were absolutely amazing! I saw them in The Marquee with 11 of my friends and had a great night! I wanted to share a few of the pictures and show you what I wore. 

Kodaline were absolutely AMAZING! I love their style of music, they're so talented. 


I  chose to wear a cardigan to keep me warm for when we're walking to and from the concert but wore a dressy sleeveless top underneath. I just took off my cardigan and tied around my waist during the concert as it was roasting in there.


Cardigan - Penneys
Cropped Lace top - New Look
Joni Jeans - Topshop
Boots - Penneys
Necklace - Penneys


One thing I wish I hadn't worn were the boots. It's all about comfort in concerts and especially when you have standing tickets. Silly me decided to wear heeled boots which weren't the most comfortable but at least they looked cute with the outfit, haha.

All the clothing I'm wearing I bought recently enough so if you want to go buy any of it, it should be still in shops. Thanks for reading.

Review: Garnier BB Cream For Combination To Oily Skin.

I think it's time for another review! Today I'm reviewing the Garnier BB cream that is specifically for combination to oily skin. 

I recently bought this product as I wanted to see would it actually work. I tend to have oily skin around my "T zone"so I wanted to find a BB cream that would actually stay on my face without needing to powder literally every minute. I think I've found that product.

On the days that I want a little more coverage, I like to wear BB creams instead of foundation as I just prefer the feeling of it on my skin so this is perfect.


This product is super lightweight but is definitely build-able if you want a heavier coverage. It spreads super easy, a small bit goes a long way. 

However, does it keep your skin matte? It keeps my skin relatively matte. yes I do have to powder a little after about 3 hours but I think that's fairly good compared to usual.  Even after about 4 hours it still wasn't after wearing off at all. I'm very impressed and really do trust this product now. 


I apply this using the Real Techniques "Expert Face Brush." it helps it blend evenly into the skin but you could definitely use your hands if you wanted.


If you suffer with oily skin give this a go. It sells in boots at €13.04 (there is an offer in it for €8.69) but I know that you can buy this in most supermarkets also. It has an SPF 20 which is a big plus as it is Summer and all.


 Hope this post was helpful to you! Thanks for reading.

Kendall Jenner's Red Carpet Fashion!


So today I'm talking about Kendall Jenner's amazing red carpet fashion pieces. I am obsessed with everything Kendall decides to wear as she looks incredible.and fashion forward at all times.

I especially love what Kendall wears when at a red carpet event because it always makes a statement and has us all talking. She can go from sophisticated and classy to edgy but chic. She also manages to have her hair and makeup "on point" (did I really just say that? haha) to make her entire look flawless. 

I have put together a few of my favourite and most iconic outfits of Kendall's from the many red carpet events she attends. Perks of being so famous.Let me know which ones are your favourites! 



Hope you enjoyed this post! Thanks for reading.

Feeling Brave ~ Bright Lips and Winged Liner.

 Hey Guys :)
Quick Announcement! Since it's the Summer and I'm out of routine I can't always stick to my usual Monday upload so I'm just going to post on random days from now on. However, I'll still be posting once a week and maybe even more if I'm feeling generous...:) Remember to follow so that you can be informed when I post.

 So I was feeling a little adventurous the other day and did a makeup look that I wouldn't usually wear. I really liked it and felt super confident wearing it so I decided to share it all with you.

All the products I used besides the mascara are all drugstore products. Enjoy!

Starting with my base, I used Rimmel "Match Perfection" foundation. It has a great coverage but still being natural looking.

Under my eyes I covered my dark circles using the Rimmel "Wake Me Up" concealer.

I powdered my face using my favourite Rimmel "Stay Matte" powder.


I used the Sleek "Face Form" trio to highlight, bronze and contour my face. 

I also used the contour shade on the crease of my eyelids to define my eyelids more. 


To add a subtle flush to my cheeks I used Rimmel "010 Santa Rose" blush. 

My eyebrows were next. i just filled in my eyebrows with an Essence eyebrow pencil.  I have quite dark brows so I just lightly fill in the blank patches and I'm good to go.

I added a dramatic winged liner with the Maybeline "Master Precise" eye-liner. It glides super easy making it simple to add a winged liner.


I have been loving the Benefit "Bad Gal lash" mascara.  It might be a new favourite of mine! It seperates my lashes so well and makes them look think and long.

I used too different lipsticks to make this kind of berry shade. I used the Maybeline "260 Amethist Shimmer."

On top of that, (focusing on the centre of my lips) I used the Revlon lipstick in "090 Sweet Tart." I blended the two shades together and it turned out very pretty.



Thanks for reading. I'll be  back very soon. x

Concert OOTD ~ 5 Seconds Of Summer.


Hey everyone! Recently I went to see 5sos in concert (May 29th, to be exact) at the 3Arena in Dublin. I went with 3 of my friends Maria, Katie and Laura. We had an absolute amazing time so i thought I would share my experience with you and show you what I wore. Enjoy!

I saw 5sos at One Direction last year and immediately loved their music. They concert was was such a fun party vibe. I loved every minute of it! 

They're so talented and seem like such nice guys. Crazy to think they're only a few years older than me. 

I actually didn't manage to get any pictures of "Hey Violet" the supporting act but they were very good also! I really enjoyed them.

Our seats were actually quite good too to be honest. We definitely weren't close to the stage but my camera zoomed in pretty well so I managed to get a good few clear pictures. 



I thought "Amnesia" was one of the highlights because nearly everyone had their flash on so it looked amazing!
What I Wore:
I wore a comfortable outfit that was suitable for going shopping during the day but ideal for the concert which was like a big party. This was the perfect outfit as I could take off my cardigan when it got warm at the concert and had a sleeveless top on that looked dressy underneath.

Cardigan: H&M
Top: New Look
Necklace: New Look
Ripped Jeans: New Look

I would really appreciate it if you could let me know by commenting if you enjoy these kind of posts as I have a good few concerts coming up and would love to do more posts like this for them. Thanks for reading.
