Apologies for the very late post! It is practically time for my October favourites post! Anyway sorry I will get back to the point 🙂

So first up is this Hask shampoo and conditioner. You can buy this in Penneys and it is great, it contains argan oil and coconut oil. My hair smelt like coconut after and was for the first time in a while was smooth and not frizzy!! Also the shine off my hair is brilliant, definitely worth a purchase and won’t break the bank. I got gifted this at the Cocoa Brown event.

I got a sample of this Ren moisturiser from Cloud 10 Beauty with a purchase and I love it! The sample lasted me about a week and by the end of the week I could already notice a difference in the lines on my forehead! Ren do a variety of different creams for different skin types. They also do sample sets, so you can buy a set for about €18 and it has 3 different products. The full size is definitely my next purchase.

I got the Ciate eyebrow gel in Brown Thomas and love how natural my eyebrows look using it. I normally use the collection eyebrow set and love it but wanted to try something new. Or even use the collection powder for a bit of a fill in and the Ciate gel over it. The Ciate gel comes in three different colours and it is €16.

Has anybody tried any new products they want to share?

Wednesday night was the launch of Dublin Fashion Festival which is taking place in Dublin on the 7th – 13th September and I can’t wait! I got the opportunity to volunteer at the launch night which was in City Hall in Dublin, this is an amazing building.

The event was so busy, I got to spend a majority of my night going around with the Instagram frame and getting everybody’s pictures. I had so much fun doing this and have to say I was pretty proud of how comfortable I felt approaching people for their photo. Here is a few of the pictures:

There was some pretty big bloggers there including Pippa O’Connor who was announced on Wednesday as the face of Dublin Fashion Festival. Her outfit was stunning and got a quick picture of this.

Suzanne Jackson, also known as SoSueMe was there. She looked stunning as usual and I fell in love with her boots!

Ciara O’Doherty was also there and another outfit that I loved and really wanted her handbag, it is gorgeous.

And Roz Purcell, love this outfit!

The night consisted of food from San Lorenzo’s, cocktails from The Meeting House (who also held the after party). Naked Juice also had a stand giving out their new coconut water and there was also a bottle in the amazing goodie bags! Canon Ireland also had a stand, you could get your picture taken and they then printed your photo for you.

The fashion show took place about 8pm and the clothes were amazing, I unfortunately did not get any pictures of the fashion show as I was preparing the goodie bags for the end of the show.

The goodie bags looked amazing and there was so many sponsors for the event including:

Cityjet
Toni and Guy
Penneys
Evoke.ie
Bestseller
Pieces
Water Wipes
Arnotts
and many more the list is so long!!

I am really looking forward to Dublin Fashion Festival in September and will do as much blogging as possible that week! Thanks to Dublin Town for giving me the opportunity to be involved in the event.

Hi!

Wednesday night Mac launched their new range Mac is Beauty in their Brown Thomas store and is available to buy in store from yesterday the 28th of May. The new range has some lovely colours with a mix of pinks, peaches and even some green 🙂

The lipstick colours were amazing and I couldn’t help my self and got ‘Catty’. I really wanted a nice pink lipstick that I could wear everyday.

It was a great event and we even got a makeup demonstration of some of the new products. I need everything, especially the new prolongwear foundation, it is full coverage and waterproof. It also has no spf in it so perfect for night time to stop that horrible white face look appearing in photos. I only found out recently that it is the flashback of the spf in your foundation! I will still wear an spf in my foundation during the day or a good spf moisturiser under my foundation.
