I Bought Everything! (Haul Post)

I've been on a few trips to Boots in Liffey Valley over the last week - just to look obviously! But, of course I couldn't resist the deals they had, and left with half the shop, as per usual!

Here's all the little bits I picked up; some of these are things I've been looking for for a while, and others were just spur of the moment decisions! 

So, 'Collection' had a 3 for 2 offer on in boots last week, so I could not resist!

I picked up the 'Lasting Perfection' Concealer, I've bought it befoe, and I really like it; I find it blends really well with my skintone! I use the shade 'Fair 1' - the lightest shade! Plus it's only €

I then picked up the 'Lasting Gel Nail Colour' in 'Stormy Grey 11' just to see how t would live up to the Barry M one. Now, it's not grey in any way, t's definitely a nude/brown shade, but it is beautiful.

You will need two coats of it, if you want it to really shine though - but it's definitely worth the €3.99

Finally, I grabbed their 'Work The Colour Eyebrow Kit'! It has thee different powders for filling in your brows, and a clear brow gel! Now, I've never used a bow gel before so I'm excited to see how this works, and the powders appear to be quite well pigmented, so I'm excited to try them!

All for only €

Boots had a 3 for 2 on all cosmetics deal going on, so I picked up these two beauties, as well as a brush which you'll see soon! 

The 'Stay Matte' powder, is a powder I had before, and loved, so I decided to go back to it! The only problem I have with this, is that it's not the best to carry around with you - the last one I had broke within a week! 

 Then I grabbed this beauty of a foundation I've been looking for since it came out; but for some reason, Boots have been sold out of the ivory colour forever! I'm excited for this, and hope that it lives up to the 25 hour promise they make! I will definitely get back to you with that! 

Next up is the Barry M section; now I don't generally buy stuff from Barry M,, but their new nail colours are out, and if you spend more than €9, you got a free mascara! What? Yes please!

I picked up their 'Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint' in '????' and I also grabbed a grey which seems to have disappeared already! They were only €5.99 each, and I hear that they're really good, so I'm looking forward to tying them out! 

And, because I spent more than €9, I got their 'Showgirl' mascara (worth €7.49) free! The wand looks surprisingly good, so I can't wait to try it once my current one runs out! 

And lastly, I took advantage of the No7 vouchers that Boots give out at the counter! 

I picked up the 'Rapid Spot Relief' from No7's 'Beautiful Skin' range; this is one of the first No7 products I've bought, so I decided to try something a little different to what I'd usually try! This is usually €11, but their voucher lets you take €6.50 off the original price, so it only cost me €4.50.

That's almost everything I've picked up lately, but I'll have more posts coming for you soon enough I'm sure! I just can't seem to resist buying everything in my sight!
Let me know if y'all have tried any of these, I'd love to know what y'all think!

Sister Bonding Time

Yesterday (Sunday), I went to a lovely lunch with most of my family! We went to a little pub in my village, and I had the nicest curry I've had in a long time (which I forgot to take pictures of...). But not to worry... I took plenty of other pictures! 

So because I have been on a study week from college and my sister had some school work to do, the two of us came home a bit early; and we of course procrastinated as much as we could! 

I decided it was about time I took my 'big girl' camera out again, and started using it! So we spent an hour or so doing makeup and taking photos in our garden! 

Here's some of the 'beautiful' images we finished the day with!!

 This is me by the way! Hi! And this is what happens when I learn how to take selfies on big cameras!

 This is my beautiful sister in her outfit for lunch! Posing for that camera!

 These are my sister's boots; I am very jealous of her for having them! (€17 in Penneys!) They are just the cutest!!

 This is them again! With her lace tights, also from Penneys! I adore the pictures these boots take! 

This is the two of us taking a big camera selfie! Ahh I love the lil thing! <3

  

This last one is my sisters attempt at taking blog pictures; she didn't do too bad! To be fair I probably wasn't the easiest subject to shoot! I also lost the glasses for these.... so had no idea what she was doing! 

Well that's all I've got to show from our lil shoot, but I hope this was kind of enjoyable, and It didn't bore too much! 

I can't wait to fill you in on the going-ons of my study week! 

Byeee, Emma! xx

February Beauty Favourites!

So I decided it'd be a fun thing if I did a beauty favourites every month, because I have a lot of things that I love! And I mean a lot! I'm sorry it's a lil bit late, but I suppose I'll start! 

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush: I've had this brush since the end of December, and I have been using it non-stop! I haven't touched another foundation brush since. I find it applies my foundation so smoothly and doesn't soak in the product, forcing you to use more! The bristles are very tightly packed, so they apply the foundation more evenly. I personally love this brush, and I think I'll be sticking with it!

Bourjois 10 hour sleep effect foundation: I have this in foundation in the shade 71.  I quite like it, I haven't worn a liquid foundation in quite a while as I found they clung to any dry skin I had; this one thankfully doesn't and covers it quite well. I'm loving it at the moment, but we'll see how it goes! It gives quite a light coverage to your skin, but it can easily be built up, and it doesn't make it look like you've caked your make up after! I've found that once I set this foundation with a powder, it'll last all day.

Essence Smokey Eye Effect Eyeliner: This is a pencil eyeliner, and it is the best one I've ever had! I know I should really only use it when doing a smokey eye, but I use this thing every day! It does the perfect thick line on your eyelid and I think it works great for doing your waterline as well!

Rimmel London No.128 Starry-Eyed Lipstick: I have searched for weeks on end to find the perfect lipstick, and this is it! I am in love with this colour; it's a beautiful, deep purple/red colour, which is absolutely stunning! It's also long lasting and has no problem so far in staying on all night! It is a definite need!




Simple Antibacterial Handwash - Mint: I absolutely adore this!  It's antibacterial which really is perfect, and I love that it states it clearly on the package so I don't have to spend hours searching the label! It uses a pump system, which I personally prefer as I always thought that using a bar of soap was somewhat unhygienic even though I know it isn't! It also... smells like mint; I love mint, a lot. Honestly I'm surprised I haven't spent 24 hours of the day washing my hands, it's that good! Best part of all? It was only €1.49 in this spectacular shop we have in Ireland called Dealz!

So those are my absolute faves at the moment, thank you for reading this far!
Love and Hugs, Emma xx
