Oasis Dublin Tailoring/Styling event A/W13










Hey dolls so In the Last couple of days (Thursday to be precise) I attended Oasis Dublin's V.I.P evening with my friend Eunice (Vlog at top of post). The evening consisted of the oasis' collection for A/W13 mainly work wear and outfits for outings for women in their 20's and 30's.The designer basically required our feedback on current designs and comments on where there could be improvements in the collection, perhaps maybe if something was missing ? if any.

So what did I think ? 
I absolutely had a great time, the women and staff were lovely and answered questions well and through.I thought the designs hit the target market head on and were very trendy, youthful but at the same time classy and sophisticated enough to wear in the workplace or for important occasions. I tried on the blue dress seen above on the model on the right. It was very flattering and it plays well with curvy people and also gives curves to those lacking that much of it (me!..lol).

All in all it was a fab night I loved the clothes and I had a great time with Eunice and the girls from Oasis Dublin.So thank you guys for a fab night.

Review: Lush Popcorn Lip Scrub








I picked this Lush Lip scrub up last year initially,in the middle of winter where having chapped lips is a viral epidemic. this Lush Lip scrub absolutely saved my skin( Literally ), the skin of my lips that is. So  as you can imagine after getting my second one from a friend as a gift (Thanks Grainné) I was ecstatic and itching to review this product. So let's get to it...

PROS

- Makes lips visibly smooth and soft
- Tastes like caramel and popcorn
- Animal friendly (no animal testing)



CONS

- Quite expensive for a lip scrub
- Grains tend to fall all over (although care can be taken)
- Temperature needs to be controlled 

So..... would I buy this again ?

Definitely,  I love this lip scrub which is why this is my second tub and also it tastes so damn good,kinda salty at first but you get used to the flavor and also theres plenty of variety provided by lush such as bubblegum Mint.. etc.

Updated Hair Post: My hair care routine/My tips for growing afro hair out !







Some of the Products I use everyday (or most days) on my hair.

Tresemmé- 24 hour body hairspray
Tresemmé- Heat protection spray
Avon- Heat protection spray.
Boots- Mouse ( I use a lot of mouse)
Olive oil- Wrap/set Mousse
Loreal- Studio silk and gloss
Garnier fructis- style hair wax
Olive oil-relaxer (for when i take extensions or weaves out but after that i just leave it !)
So here are my tips to growing your hair out ! once ever 2 months.


1. Use Quality hair products (No Tesco value) !!!


Always use quality hair products on you hair as the saying goes "your body is a temple". DO NOT use cheap "value" products on your hair,it will not work it will make your hair dry and brittle !!! I personally recommend loreal, Tresemê or Aussie.
Dont just shampoo your hair, condition it after washing it really makes a difference to the texture and once in a while DEEP condition it also.
 (Deep conditioning is just putting regular conditioner in you hair and then wrapping it with something like a shower cap for a longer amount of time than usual).


2. BRUSH DONT EVER !! COMB (especially with the skinny comb,only use skinny comb to part hair,thats what it's intended use is for.)


When you brushing your hair hold it lightly at the bottom dont force tangles or it will remove huge clumps of hair.Dont worry about time just take your time and brush it gently and evenly through.
If you brush it in the right way you should only lose 1 or two tiny strands of hair per brush.


3. As Little heat as possible


Keep your hair straightened if you want but don't straighten it everyday ... once a week or so is ENOUGH !
and i can't emphasis this enough ... use heat protection spray  !!!!

4. Biotin



Biotin is a supplement that helps with hair growth,it is not a magic hair growth formula but it gives your hair the strength it needs so it can grow.I wont lie to you guys, i have never used Biotin so i cant say much about it but i have heard it really good supplement for nails and hair and etc but i will definitely pick it up so i can give an honest opinion on it.
Update: I have used it at 300 Mg to start,ill talk more about it when i see results.

5. Drink water 


Drink lots of water, at least 1 litre a day.Water is good for EVERYTHING !!!! your hair,nails and skin.I'm also advising myself with this point, carry a bottle of water 1L with you everyday and make sure by the end of the day it's gone.


6. Be patient



Be patient,your hair will not grown over night..... it take TIME so sit back relax and enjoy your fab life just as usual.


Disclaimer: This are my tips for growing hair, it is not guaranteed to work for everyone as there's many different hair types so this may not work for everyone.

 Net Cardi- Primark// Cami- Forever 2// Necklace-Wallis// Bracelet- H&M // Shorts-Topshop// Sandals- Shoe Rack// Hat H&M


Hi Dolls,So this is just a quick outfit post showing you lovelies what I wore yesterday.I'm just only getting into the swing of summer,is it me or does the seasons change so quickly anyway i'm finally doing some necessary summer shopping and exploring my style and just being creative with my outfits. This look was inspired by a sunny but chill day as in Ireland the sun docks in and out as it pleases.

It was a "shorts" kinda day so I wore my shorts from Topshop a nice neutral Cami from Forever 21, (Im obsessed with Nudes and Neutrals) then I just styled with some two-toned blue and black wedges minimal jewelry as per usual.I really love the hat from H&M because It FIT!,it's so hard to find hats that suit me,does anyone else get that ?

Review: Benefit "They're Real" Mascara + (Benefit Boutique for Dublin)






Hello Dolls,

In the June Issue of Elle Magazine (The one with Miley cyrus on the cover), There was a free mascara that came with the issue. When I first bought the issue I simply took out the They're Real mascara without taking much notice of it and put it on my make up counter with no actual intention of using it as most freebies in magazines are just kinda subpar to proper Quality make up products. Little did I know that This product would be so GREAT !

Ok let me cut the story as short as I possibly can, I eventually read the label and saw it was a Benefit products and i already use Benefits Porefessional primer so I used the mascara and discovered it to be one of the best mascaras I have ever used with lasting results as well. Extremely suitable for parties and events. So right now it's my Favourite Mascara and I will be "Stalling" it down to the nearest Benefit counter to get the full-sized version.


The product featured above is just the smaller version of the actual product which retails for €26/£19.50 in Debenhams or at Benefit counters in the Uk and Ireland.

 PROS: 

- Long lasting
- precision applicator
- Amplified results
- Great little packaging

CONS:

____Only if being too good of a product is a con ?____


If your looking for a brilliant and volumising mascara then I highly recommend Benefits they're Real. 



****
 

Got some great news Girls, so last week Benefit announced that they will be opening their first ever Benefits Boutique in Dublin on South William Street, Dublin.This means there will be Nails bars,eyebrow threading,waxing and everything us girls love. Also with their promise to have us leaving with a smile on our faces, I definitely cant wait till they start taking appointments.

I'm ridiculously excited,now I know where I will be stocking up on my favorite Benefit products !

My First Feature: Ireland's Xposé Magazine.






Top- Zara // Blazer- H&M // High waisted Jeans- American apparel // Shoes- Zara // Watch- Michael Kors // Glasses- River Island // Bag- Ebay



Hello Dolls, First of all Happy New Month, Yay June ♥

Okay Let's get straight into it, about a month ago I was giving the opportunity to be in Ireland's Xposé magazine in this month's (June) Issue to be precise. The section I am featured in is called "How we wear it" it shows how us fashion bloggers wear different trends or how we style to different themes. The theme for my feature was "Summer in the city" and being from Dublin that's where my picture was taken, on the famous Grafton Street. In this particular outfit I incorporated my own style into the Neon trend basically showing how I wear it in the summer,while also looking smart.

Im very delighted with how the photo turned out and the feature in general and I really enjoyed working with Xposé for the "How we wear it" section, A big thank you to Aoife and the Xposé crew,it was such an honor getting featured with amazing other bloggers like Leanne woodfull.

 I'd love to know what you think leave your thoughts and comments below.
