How I wear a maxi dress!
Primark Dress - €2 (On sale!!)
They don't have this one any more but the new ones are cute and are about €11 and they have pockets and I love that I think all dresses should have pockets :)
White cover up - €8 (I think)
You can wear a normal lenght one too, but I think this works better with this style dress
Primark Ring - €1
They have these is the same part of the shop there are a few there :)
Its Friday!! This week I thought I might change it up a little instead of my favourite foundation or blush, this week I though I would do my favourite product with in a brand!
Here are some of my favourite ELF (Eyes Lips Face) product!
Here are just a few of my favourites I think I could be there all day naming all my favourites and I did leave a few things out that you ladies already know like the press powder, the HD powder, the mineral infused primer to name but a few :)
These are the ones that came into my head when I though of my favourites so here they are;
Hey everyone! For the last few weeks I've been working on this design. Well actually trying to come out with it. So I'm apologizing in advance if something goes wrong. I hope you'll like it! I'm starting tomorrow. And while you're waiting, vote for my friend's picture here. It's an online contest and it really means a lot!
It's been a long time since the last DIY project post. So I'm very excited for you to see the new project! I've always loved the little things. Especially something that I make by myself. And I also like to paint design on everything! So, I'm sure that this cute patterned brushes will make you happy every morning when you are getting ready.
Supplies: wooden makeup brushes, craft paint ( in this case - Martha Stewart ), paint brushes and a sanding block. Start by sanding down your brush handles. Unless the wood was already unfinished, this will help the paint to cling to the surface. Then paint the base coat. If you need to, add a second coat. After that paint a pretty design. They chose polka dots and stripes with a messy handmade look! Just have fun!
Lily Cole has recently collaborated with The Body Shop as she becomes the global ambassador for the brand. I was super excited to try this because Lily has such a light complexion I though Hey! finally makeup for us pale gals! :)
What I do like is that it doesn't just seem to be for the lighter skin tones but for a mixture! Take the lip and cheek tints - Comes in two shade; Sheer Pink (Pinch Me Pink) and Sheer Peach (Crazy for Coral) Both these shade would work on a variety of skin and if I ever came out with a makeup collection myself a peach and a pink blush would differently be a starting point.
Crazy in Coral €15 - Top bare lips. Bottom swatch.
Review: *The large dome works perfectly for easy application on the cheek not so much for the lips. (A bit big) *The colour is sheer and great for those "I don't wanna wear makeup but I do" days. *Felt kind of greasy at the start and I worried about apply it on the cheek but it blended nicely perhaps not totally suitable for those with super oily skin though! *I can see why this would be her favourite piece. On her skin I think this colour would be amazing but on darker skin I still think this would be awesome :) *If you are a fan of multi-purpose then this product would be great option.
Liquid eyeliner in violet, €13.95
Once again pretty great pick - this purple liner is just the right tone to work on different skin types from very light to dark. Also purple is one of those shades that work on so many different eye colours! Good choice Lily!!
Review: *Take a little time to set at first but once its sets it SET! *The felt tip is definitely easy to use! *The colour has a slight metallic finish which is cute and fun!
Top left - Think Pink Bottom - Go Violet Top right - Live Lilac Bottom right - Tint it Pink
Coolest thing is you can take the cudes out and move them around, at first I thought they were pigments but they are pressed! Just lovely love them!
Review:
Think Pink - Not sure why its called "Think Pink" its not very pink, more coppery shade but that's in a name. Anyway its super cute I love it prefect for green and brown eyes.
Live Lilac -This is the sheerest of the shade on my skin anyway, on darker skin it would probably show up more. As with all the shades its like silk to work with.
Go Violet - Hmm...not sure about violet its a burgundy/aubergine shade but you know that's what she wanted to call it that's cool. This is my second favourite shade actually I LOVE it! Can't wait to do a smoky eye with it!!
Tint it Pink - Champagne with a hint of pink! This one is my favourite. Great highlight shade. Once again shimmy, silky and truly lovely to work with.
So my mum was free and I though "hey lets do your makeup yay!" So I created this kind special look. If you want a more natural look let me know. We might have a haul video coming soon too!
Summer HIT is definitely USA flag printed clothes! Their attractive bold colors make everyone go crazy and they are so easy to combine with rest of Summer Look.

This is probably my most worn hairstyle in the last few weeks. Partly because summer began and the sun is burning. But this can be also a very good cover-up when your hair is all greasily. It's practically my super hero. Hahaha. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture to show you the final result of this less than a minute hair tutorial. The braid on the bangs is not necessary, you can skip that step. Loose bangs are always a hit. Just twist your hair and then warp it up in a bun and secure it with a few bobby pins.
For the last few weeks I've discovered that messy buns became my favorite hairstyle. I don't know why, maybe it's because outside here is hot as hell, or just my hair looks better that way. Anyway, while I was scrolling through one of my favorite blogs - Beautiful Mess, I've found this amazing tutorial. And as you already know, I always try to bring to you the best & easiest hair tutorials from all over the web. So I think for my 100 post, this one is perfect.
First tie your hair into a ponytail at the top of your head. Then use a comb to brush down and through your hair, tease it. If your hair is thin or fine, make sure to tease as many strands of your pony as you can. That will give the bun volume and body. After that twist your hair around your hand and tail base. Pull the end of your hair through. Tease and style the top knot, and if you want, you can also spray on a little hair spray.

FACE:
F14 Small Contour/Blush brush €11
This brush works with everything pretty much – Foundation application, Blending, contouring/highlighting. I find it works best with powders and I love it for applying blush but it works best with powders.
I love the shape of this brush its lovely to work with!
F15 Small Tapered €11
This brush is awesome!! Think of it like a tapered blending brush you’ve use on your eyes but bigger so it can be used on the face. Awesome for getting that Kim K contoured look! I love it!!
Available in two colours – Red/Black
F16 Large Tapered €16
This is the older sister of the small tapered brush, this brush it a larger fuller brush. The tapered tip works like the small tapered brush but the fullness then blends it out to create softer contours.
F17 Pointed Tip Concealer €6
This flat brush with its synthetic bristles works like a brush for applying concealer. You won’t waste any product as it doesn’t absorb the concealer so you get the coverage you want right where you want it.
F18 Short Duo Fibre €12
This brush is so cute! Think of your typical duo fibre but then pop it in a shrink machine and you get this! It’s tiny but still big enough to use on the face. Work with EVERYTHING!! I use for foundation (though it does take longer you get a great finish) works great with concealer and even face/eye primer BUT WAIT there’s more, works awesome with cream blush, highlighter and even mineral powder product! All that from one brush, I know right AWESOME!
F19 Dome Foundation Brush €12
Okay take a typical flat foundation brush and make it a million times better and you get this brush! Yay! It’s a dome shaped synthetic which works for pretty much everything.
F20 Flat Top Kabuki €20
If you follow my video that I don’t really need to tell you much about how much I love this brush. I have a full tutorial using it works for applying – moisturiser, primer, foundation, concealer, powder, blush, highlighter, contour. Everything your little heart desires! It a serious favourite of mine!
EYES!
E23 Short Pencil €6
This is a pretty typical pencil brush but what I love about this is that is not too long or short and not rigid or flimsy just right!
E24 Blending Brush €6
If you are looking to only buy one eye brush then this is the ONE! It applies and blend just everything!
E25 Tapered Blending Brush €6
One of my favourites and one that I reach for everyday. Prefect for blending out edges and smooth harsh shadow line. Also awesome for using with concealer J
E26 Flat Shader Brush €6
This brush might look very familiar to MAC lovers it sooo like the 239 which is the only MAC brush that I would use over and over again forget the high €24 price no this baby is €6!
E27 Cute Mini Shader €6
This is a little baby brush! Its tiny I love it. Works great for applying shadow under the eye or right in that inner corner.
E28 Ultra Fine Liner
Perfect for precise application of cream/gel/ liquid liner! Not too long not to short -smooth finish!
E30 Double Ended Brow/Spoolie
I use this every day! Even if I am not wearing makeup I always do my brows. The angle applies shadow and cream to fill in the brows and the spoolie brushes them in place!
Last but not least the lips!
L29 Lip Brush
Cute shape for that perfect finish!! Love!
I have to say you can really tell that theses are PRO brushes, so much work as gone into creating this and it really shows! I think these brushes could be the next big thing especially for those of us living in Europe as its an Irish based company.
