Liebster Award Nomination

I'm very happy to announce that I have been nominated for the Leibster Award! 

I'm really surprised as I havn't been blogging for that long, 2/3 months maybe! So I'd just  like to thank kerryshabitat for the nomination.

THANK YOU!!!

QUESTIONS SET FOR ME TO ANSWER

1) Why did you start blogging?

I started blogging because I'd been reading other beauty and lifestyle blogS and thought "that looks fun, I could do that." Also it gave me a hobby and something to look forward to as well as an excuse to buy make up!

2) What scares you most?

There's very few things that actually scare me. I like to try and put myself outside my comfort zone because I know it will lead to great things. I'd have to say that spiders are very high up in the list though!

3) Do you have a favourite brand?

There're plenty of brands I still haven't tried and I'm not sure if I have an overall favourite. I do own a good amount of Rimmel though.

4) Did you go to University, or are you there? if not why not?

I'm an only 15 so no I'm not at Uni although I definitely want to go in the future.

5) Spring? Summer? Autumn? Winter?

Winter

6) High Heels or Flats?

I don't usually wear heels but am a huge fan. You can't go wrong with flats though so probably flats.

7) What era should you have lived in?

1950s, definitely.

8) 3 of your favourite films?

I don't watch a massive amount of Tv or films so this is slightly difficult:

The Help

Hairspray

Annie

9) How do you feel about Charity Shops?

I think they're great. I don't think there's any shame in buying from them because sometimes people put in brand new clothes and you only pay a fraction of the price. I used to have my favourite pair of black pumps and they were from a charity shop. 

10) Tea or Coffee?

Tea.

11) Dream Job?

Musician or somewhere in that field.

Inglot Freedom Palette

A couple of months back I entered a writing competition and won €200. I don't regret this, but most of my money was spent on beauty items, particularly make-up. In fact I bought two palettes on the same day: Urban Decay Naked 2 and an Inglot Freedom Palette. Naughty, naughty!

 The Naked Palette is pretty hyped up (and I can see why) but I'm not going to rant on about it.

So, there was an Inglot store in a shopping centre I'd been to so many times (The Crescent Center, Limerick, Ireland) and I'd never really been in. They were displaying this really lovely palette which I fell in love with. I asked the lady and she told me that you could actually create your own palette which really got me excited. She was really helpful and didn't hang over my shoulder watching me (like some store assistants do).

 I was slightly over excited and chose five colours: A goldy black, two browns and two pinky toned browns.

It wasn't until I got home that I realised I hadn't  really swatched them properly (or at all!) but luckily they're quite nice.

Looking at it, it doesn't look very well coordinated but they do work. I don't wear the black with the rest, it's just I needed a black and that one had gold in it :)

 Inglot's a really nice store because it's nice and colourful and all in one place so you don't need to look hard for things. I can only speak for the eye shadows, but I would  definitely purchase them again. They go on nicely and you don't need to try hard to get product on your brush, unlike some products I've used.

I really want to try other products and see how good they are, but I'll have to find another store first!

Freedom Shadow S- €6

Freedom Shine 37- €6

AMC Freedom Syst- €6

Freedom SQDS 461- €6

Freedom Shadow SQ 34- €6

Freedom 5 SQ Palette- €12

I'm really sorry but I'm not sure which colours are with what number because it doesn't say on the palette. I had to read them off my receipt (this is why you should keep receipts)

Because you put it together yourself, I think they take €6 off the total cost. 

In total it was €36

I definitely recommend purchasing an eye shadow palette from inglot. The colours look gorgeous and they apply nicely.

Has anyone purchased anything from Inglot?

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick: Nude Delight

I love nude lips and recently treated myself to a Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick. I'd seen these plenty of times but never picked one up because there was always something I wanted instead.

I almost always research [lip colours] online first because I hate buying something and realising it's a completely different shade to what it looked like! So, after flicking through images online, I spotted a picture a of a girl wearing "Nude Delight" and thought "that's the one for me."

I walked into Chemist Warehouse with the intention of buying a concealer (which I did), but also managed to pick up Nude Delight at 1/2 price.

I'm really keen to try it out and see if it lives up to my expectations.

Anyone got any other colours from this range? Any you'd recommend or not recommend?

Let me know!

Tattoo Controversy

Tattoos are like make-up. The end result depends on the skills and colours used and the placement.

If you choose a horrible design with unflattering colours and get it tattooed by a person who is unskilled in their profession (which can happen) and get it somewhere undesirable, it doesn't look nice. It's the same with make up. If you have the right tools and  colours and know how to put it on, you look nice. If you don't, then perhaps not.

You always hear people say: Oh, I'd never get a tattoo because it'll look horrible when I'm old. But hey, you don't have to have a visible one nor a huge one. You can also get white ink tattoos that aren't half as visible.

Everyone is entitled to have their own opinions and you should respect that. If a person likes tattoos and decides to cover themselves in them, don't give them a hard time. They don't ask you why you don't have tattoos.
It's their own decision, leave them be.
