Every Woman Needs A Tan

  

Having a bronzed body is key for every woman. It suits your make-up better; your hair & even the clothes your wearing. However because of the climate in Ireland; there is only one place we can get our shimmering tan- a bottle. Buying fake tan can be frustrating- it can be either too shiny, smelly or sticky. It certainly is hard to find the perfect tan to suit all skin types, as some women prefer a lighter shade than others. When buying a tan always be aware of the shade on the bottle, & always match it to your own natural skin. Instant tan is probably the best to buy, as you can see it being applied straight to your skin ( so you know when to stop when it goes too dark). Likewise when applying your tan on- always apply the tan on in advance maybe two days before your occasion. When applying the tan on to your skin, make sure your body is moisturised from head to toe. This will make the tan look more smooth and it will prevent streaks! When your tan is applied, let it dry and the the following day have a light shower to remove the top layer of your tan. Keep doing this until you get the exact natural shade you want- so you can be perfect for your special occasion or even night out.

To help you girlie's out in finding the perfect tan, here is some of the best tans in pharmacy's at the moment. Also don't forget to read the instructions on the bottle too.

HAPPY TANNING XOXO

Fragrance Heaven

Good afternoon ladies, Its safe to say we all have our own signature scents! From Chanel to Marc Jacobs there's many we adore.  In the following I'm going to pick out my  favourite scents, the cost & were you can purchase the heavenly scent. 

  

Chloe- My all time favourite: 80.00- under, and you can purchase this in any department store or duty free! 

Marc Jacobs- Daisy Dream- Sweet smell, and perfect for everyday wear- 80.00 & you can purchase in any pharmacy. ( Also comes in gift sets).

Flowerbomb- A sweet loving smell perfect for a night out with a love one. Bottles come in different sizes & as I said before you can purchase in any store. Also the imitation of Flowerbomb can be bought in Lidl.

Valentines Closet

Only two more weeks until Valentines day, which means only two more weeks to plan the day and more importantly your outfit.
Don't stress, because in the following I have listed my top picks from Missguided; perfect outfits, at affordable prices. 

** I will start of with shoes, I only picked two pairs as they both would match perfectly with the following outfits or even jeans & a blazer.

                                                                    

Known as the "lace up barely there heels". These shoes are simple but yet glamorous. The white would simply go with any outfit, all you have to do is dress the outfit up or down. The price of the shoes are 35euro. Personally a best buy.

Red for Valentines day is a tradition. However if you chose not to wear red, and maybe go for black or white; These pair of heels would be the perfect match. They are very unique and elegant, which could be matched with a red clutch bag or even gold. Also the plaited up gold lace gives a sexy detail towards the shoe. These pair were 42euro & are now down to 33.60.

Next comes the sassy outfits- I picked dresses all from Missguided again, and at a reasonable budget. These six outfits were my favourites, and are perfect for the occasion with colour & style. I hope the following help, and if not click onto Missguided's  page for more outfits & shoes.

Lets Talk Make-up

Good evening ladies,
As for today I finally published my blog onto facebook! I was super nervous but now its safe to say I'm over the moon. I also trademarked my new blog name (after it took me almost weeks to decide). To the point I'm getting, my blog is mainly focused on fashion; whats in, what I wore & the fashion industry. However I decided I will also branch into makeup & beauty brands too.

A lot of people ask me what tan/ contour I use. So in the following I will talk and show you in order what I wear out and some cheeky beauty tips too.
P.S  dont forget to ask me any questions by commenting underneath <3

1. WOW BROWN:  My all time favourite tan, its for face and body! The wow brown tan can be bought in any chemist, and I got mine in Cara Pharmacy for 16euro. Its amazing!! I wear it under my makeup to give it that glowly tan look. Its an instant tan, so you can see it coming on to your skin which is a good thing. The tan deepens the next day, so be sure to shower after applying it for a more natural look. The tan comes in different shades suitable for all skin tones! Its a best buy product for me and I have read a lot of beauty blogs recently were many makeup artists use it. So go ahead girlys splash your money and buy a bottle of it, you wont regret it.
2. CROWN CONTOUR PALETTE:   One of my friends actually introduced me to this, and its fantastic. The palette is only 20euro and has a various amount of colours, as mentioned previously suitable for all skin tones. I use the darkest coffee brown on my forehead and cheek bones, and I use the lightest tone on my nose and underbrow. Crown is an amazing new makeup brand, and is extremely affordable. You can also purchase their brushes too, which can be bought online on Crown.ie 
3. MAC STUDIO FIX FOUNDATION: My foundation is mac studio fix NC30. Its a creamly tone beige. I always have worn it out with mac powder and highlighter over it, as sometimes it can be quite oily. These products can be bought in any BT. For my everyday look, I don't wear foundation, I sometimes wear my wow brown tan or even a small bit of my rimmel bronzer (medium-dark), and a tiny bit of mascara to brighten up my eyes.
4. MAC PRIMER:
5. MAC EYE PALETTE: The following two I wear on a night out, and I usually use the nude golden colours for my eyes; sometimes deep purple.As mentioned above both can be purchased in BT

MAC LIPPYS: Last but not least, I usually wear nude. Sometimes I wear rosy red or plum purple. However my fav mac is velvet teddy & I recently started wearing viva glam II. For my everyday look I wear the mac baby pink gloss alongside a Primark deep nude liner.






 BEAUTY TIP: (Wear white concealer or highlighter under your brow to make your volumed eyes& brows stand out)









SOSUEMES - BRUSHES! A MUST HAVE!!!

A White Idea..

Personally white is an all time fav for me. Its sassy and you can wear literally anything with it. Style it up or down. According to recent surveys on Cosmo magazine it was voted the top colour of the season. With pale or tanned skin everyone who wears it stands out! (Especially with a vivid colour lippy).

As I have mentioned previously I always wear white- for example my birthday gone by. In the following I will show you girlie's 'what I wore'. 

And for your own white shopping craze, here is some links to online stores were you can purchase white everything!! Enjoy.

          LOOK 1 -----

• This outfit was literally put together last minute for my friends birthday last night. Simple but yet different. The blazer is from penneys, I bought it about three years ago for a reasonable price. I wore it like  a V shape cut on my chest; by placing a pin and button to give it that sexy look. The jeans are one of my fav buys ever! Molly jeans by RI. You simply cannot go wrong with them- causal or going out wear there perfect with anything and most importantly there so comfy. The shoes are also river island and I purchased them for 70euro. (You can buy the exact same pair in penneys too for a more reasonable price). The hair was just up in a messy bun, which was back-combed a lot to give it a volume look. Overall the outfit was simple as I said before perfect for a pub or a night out with friends.

A perfect pair of shoes, they are quite elegant so dresses, skirts even jeans are a simple match to them. They can be bought in any colour/size/style. My pair have a pointed toe- however they can be bought in peep-toe or even in a sandle style perfect for any season.

Graduation Style - White Lace

Graduation Style ...

I wore this outfit to my 2015 debs.Plain and simple, but yet classy.. The white lace was fitted perfectly onto my tanned skin.The dress which I bought in a small boutique in Athlone, believe it of not just two weeks before my graduation.The dress including alteration cost me 360.00 which I personally thought was a good deal.This look was reflected towards Michelle Keegans wedding look.Hair done by a fantastic hairdresser in Co. Longford.. was styled, backcombed and curled in big waves.I wore hair extensions (two clips) to make my hair look big and give it an extra fullness, as my hair is very light.My shoes which I bought in Shoe Rack in athlone, were plain barely there heels.. white leather with two straps around the ankle!My bag was a classy vintage clutch bought in a small boutique in athlone.. it was suited for this look but also can be used for any occasion for example weddings or even a night out in the town.Overall this look was based on my vintage glam imagination!My nails were gel nude , which were 50.00 in Urzelas in Co.Longford. A brilliant nail bar in the main street in Longford, which is well known for its work.As my nails are rather short, they stayed on for one month.
Luckily this dress if you are not a lover of white, the dress can be bought in black or red!
As I said be
fore perfect for an exciting occasion!
