Instagram round up #1

Hola,

I though I'd include an Instagram  segment as a post for a change this week, just to mix things up. It's something I may include in the future we'll see how it goes sure.
Considering my Instagram, blog and just about anything social in my life is going to be dead for the next few weeks thanks to exam stress, (fun times) I guess now is the prime time to try this out, right?!

Dior.

I've got to admit I'm not usually one for spending a large amount of money on a single item, particularly with makeup. As far as money goes, I try to get the most out of what I have. Extravagant pieces, whether it be fashion or makeup related, are never usually on my radar, with the exception of this fabulous Dior Lipstick. Beauty related posts are also something that I wouldn't be into that much, as I've mentioned before. However, on the rare occasion that I do find a makeup item that I adore, sometimes they're just too good not to rave about!

This fabulous product has gorgeous deep blue and black packaging with the Christian Dior initials at the top. Let's be honest, the packaging is probably the real reason why I went for this lipstick. As for as the consistency of this product goes, it's not unlike Mac. Having said that, red lipstick and I, don't always see eye to eye. I'm pretty picky with them. Considering I don't have nice teeth anyway and the fact that they're not sparkling white makes me a little weary to wear any pinky, orange, red toned lipstick as it just makes my teeth look worse. So if I do buy a red lipstick, I always look out for blue toned red lippies. This way you're less likely to get that orange-y toned lip colour and is also why I love this lipstick so much!

It's a hefty price, no doubt, but think of it as an investment piece. If you're a lipstick person then why not treat yourself?! It's the perfect look for when you're in a rush! Hassle free!

Review- Garnier Micellar water

I'm not usually one to write beauty reviews as I find there are many fabulous bloggers that do multiple reviews of beauty products, so whenever I need to research a product before I buy it, I simple look it up on bloglovin'(of which you should really follow me on -->) or I google it!
However I felt that this product is one I need to get off my chest. So here I am...

Up until recently I had never heard of "Micellar Water". Whilst reading other blogs, I became intrigued by it, and before you know it I was in my local boots purchasing a bottle! As it states it takes off face, eyes and lips makeup-which is super handy as it means you don't have to buy a separate bottle of eye make-up remover. (And before you think, "yeah but it won't take off my mascara" I can prove you wrong) Despite the fact that it hasn't got as much oil as say, eye makeup remover, it still does the job, without feeling oily or greasy nor does it make your skin feel striped of natural oils, or dry. It genuinely does feel just like water! Think I'm lying? Go on, try it, at around €7 you can't go wrong!

                   Don't ask me how I thought of the title of this post, I guess  I was feeling a bit spontaneous! For those of you who don't know what this means it's Irish. It means the usual. I guess it just suited this post considering it's the same kind of wishlist as per..

For some reason I haven't actually got a big wishlist this time' round. I haven't seen a lot that's caught my eye, but I'm sure with spring around the corner, I'll find a way to rack up the large figure for a wishlist of clothes by next month! For now though my spaciously empty purse can breath...

So if your not in the Halloween mood yet (what the hell is wrong with you?!) then maybe you can get some last minute inspiration here! Halloween is definintely one of my favorite times of year.Who doesn't want to dress up as some weird zombified creature and get sweets for it?! 

Anyway my outfit/costume thing..didn't take very long at all contrary to what i thought. It was my first time doing a proper Halloween makeup look, as i was going to a Halloween party and wanted to make the effort.
All you really need for the makeup is tissue, adhesive(you can use eyelash glue or even non-toxic glue),Berry lipstick,red/purple toned eyeshadows and fake blood. The key to this look is definitely blending.Once you put any eyeshadow on, you should blend it completely so that it really gives the zombified and realistic look.
Just be carefull as to what glue you use, if you use non-toxic glue it's probably best not to wear makeup on underneath it because it won't stick for very long. As for clothes, i went for a kind of creepy doll look but again my main focus was on the makeup.

(Also, has anyone else checked out the google home page, if you haven't do it now!)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
