Nail Of The Day: Ciaté Mini

Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope your week so far has been much better then mine. 

About two weeks ago I bought a magazine and with it came Ciaté mini nail  polish in Pillow Fight and caviar pearls to match in Sweet Dreams. I haven't used the caviar pearls yet! For some reason I think all the pearls will fall off and it will just a waist of my time. 

I need to look up on YouTube on how these pearls last and so on. I did try the Pillow Fight polish and to be honest with you I wasn't too impressed. There is a great colour pay off but I needed to use a thick layer of polish. To be honest with you I don't think I would buy a full size as its very expensive polish. 

  

I know there is people out there that love Ciaté but I wasn't too happy with it. Maybe it's because a mini version and there wasn't put as much effort in to them. One thing I forgot to say is there is a fab shine. I didn't use any top coat as I was rushing out when I applied it. That did impress me too. 

Do you have Ciaté polishes? What do you think of them.

Daily Life: Life Update

Hi everyone. I know I haven't blogged in two weeks or longer at this stage but life has been so busy right now. On top of that I haven't been myself really. 

I have some family things going on which I won't go into at the moment. I might write a post about it some day for people  who may be having similar problems. I am currently getting some help so I should be getting only feet. 

Rhys' birthday is only around the corner and we are planning to go to London for a week but I still haven't got my passport Rhys doesn't either. Tickets have to be booked soon if we would like to get a good deal. I haven't been out of the country in about 8 yrs. I moused out oh my boyfriends 21 a few years ago I had to work and I had paid for the tickets. 

For some reason I am not getting enough rest during the night and when I wake up I want to go back to bed its like I have been drinking for the past three days. I am taken vitamins but they don't seem to be working. 

The other day I found out that I live very close to a friend that passed away nearly 6 years go cousin. Anyway I went down to have a chat and all we did was talk about her cousin who I went to school with. We were very close friends and I miss him very much. Anyway since the day I was with his cousin I have been very upset as it opened up old wounds for me. I had found out information that I didn't know. Other stuff that I didn't take in properly at the time. I have been walking around the house like a zombie. 

I don't want to putting a damper on your day. So ill leave it here and my next post will be a happy one. 

Thank you all for reading my post it means a lit to me.

Monthly Favourites

Hello my lovely beauties! Today I come to you with a monthly favourite! Something that I haven't done in very long time. These are the products that I have been using all months. 

Starting with the sun screen. As we having been getting lovely heat wave it's very important to wear some block. This one from Nivea 50+. As you can see this one is for babies but if you are very fair and you have sensitive skin this is a great one to use. I use it on Rhys all the time. I use it on myself too. I burned my hand when I was a child and now I have to take extra care of it in the sun, and it does a great job. 

With the nice sun I have got a fine colour on my face and went I was out I didn't want to be wearing heavy foundation so a BB cream I would reach the most. This BB cream I got for €1.50 it's light and it does the job. I am not a huge fan of BB creams so this one is just fine for me.

For he lips I use this Nivea lip butter. I would always have a tin like this of Vaseline but this little guy has changed my mind and I will never go back again. I absolutely love how this lip butter makes my lips feel. I hate having chappy lips. It's awful. What I like to do is to put this on before I go to bed and in the morning I have smooth lips a baby's bottom would compare. LOL!! 

On to the eyes. I don't have much time to get ready so I like to just put on something very quick and leaved or town. This quad is always my best friend. The shades are fantastic and you won't be looking over the top. This quad is called 945 Midtown Mauve. It's created for brown eyes I don't have brown eyes but I was looking at the one for green eyes and there is only one shade that is different to what I have. I live NYC quads they are great quality and very affordable too. 

Staying with the eyes. Very much new Rimmel scandaleyes gel liner in Emerald from the Kate Moss collection is my favourite so far. I love the Emerald colour and its a nice change from the black. 

Into the face. This blush from Collection is called Bashfull and its a light pink shade very pigmented and a fab blush for other skin tones. Cheap but great product. 

Staying with the face. As I was using the BB cream I felt that I was very oily and yet I have very dry skin so to reduce that oily shine I used my Avon pressed powder in light medium. This powder is from the ideal flawless collection. I really don't know if Avon sell them any more. As Avon has left Ireland. As I said I have dry skin and I really don't use this or any powder but when I have to use it, it does the job. 

And last but not least a nail polish that I have used so many times during the month. It's from NYC and its called Disco Inferno. I love how this just brings up any colour of polish. All you need it one coat. 

I hope you enjoyed my monthly favourites. What is your favourites?

Electric Purple and Pizzaz Purple

Hello my beautiful reader! 

This is a look that I came up with from the MUA Poptastic palette. 

 

In this look I used the two puplrs I the palette. From this picture is doesn't looks like the two shades but it looks much better in real life. This is the steps that took to achieve this look! 

For the base: as my face has got a natural tan and I didn't want from that I used a very sheer BB cream. 

With some powder to take way any shine. No I didn't use any bronzer as I didn't really need it. I believe that if you have it naturally why put loads of products. 

This picture looks like more of a blue shade but its the Electric Purple. I patted this shade all over my lid with a flat brush. It's a fabulous shade. 

 

For the outter corner of my eye I used Pizzaz Purple. This is a lighted shade and its also fab! Pizzaz Purple is a sheer shade of purple. 

I think this look is just fab and I live how it turned out. For my lips I used a pink lip liner I do t k ow the name of it because I got it in a palette ages ago. 

I hope you understood what I was explaining. Still new to all of this! 

Hope you all liked the look!

Daily Life: Hat of the day!

Hi all. I hope you all had a nice weekend! I don't know what to start with. It was a quite weekend. Sunday I went to a show bands thing I don't even know what was the name of it. There was music from the show bands era and a huge dance floor.  

I really didn't think it was going to be much but I really enjoyed it. The music is really not my style. Rhys enjoyed it too. He was dancing away to all the music. 

There was a good crowed at it and it seemed like they all enjoyed it. Apart from all the music there was sweet stand, ice cream stalls and vintage clothes. The clothes didnt apple to me as I am a modern fashion kinda girl. 

It was a fab day the sun was so hot and u think that really added to the day. I had forgotten Rhys hat and this is the ht that we got him. 

 

Rhys my friend Christina and I went to supermacs for some to eat. This is where this picture was taken. I love this hat on Rhys and he is mad about it too. He didnt take it off since I bought it for him. 

By the way this is Christina she is my best friend in the world. I love her. <3 she is like my twin that I never had! I think that Rhys hat really suits her too. I had to try it out too. 

What do you think of it on me? I don't like it.  Well I hope you enjoyed this post I know it might be a but odd but that's just me.

MUA Poptastic Palette First Impression and Comparison

Hey all I had tuck a small break. Summer had arrived in Ireland and when the sun comes out you have to take it all in as the rain my come the following day. 

The other day I was in Supergrug and I picked up a MUA Poptastic palette. What drew me to this palette are the fab colours. As you know Rhys distroyed my other colour palette. 

The other palette that I have by MUA is the Glitter Ball and I wasn't to pushed about it. I only used two shades and even at that I didn't use it as offen as I thought I would. 

Both palette have the same packaging and is nothing exciting about it. Glitter Ball palette doesn't have names on the shadows but the Poptastic palette have named all the shadows and I really like that aspect. 

These shades are from the Glitter Ball palette . Most of them are creamy and very soft shadows the only shade that I do like is he black one. But I have other black shadows that great. 

 

These are from the Poptastic palette. First impressions are that I am in live with this palette. The shadows that I have tried they are all soft and easy to use. The test will be when I start using them in  a look. Which will be coming soon. Keep a look out for that. 

I hope that was helpful to you all. 

Do you have this palette? 

Thanks all for visiting!

Colourful Summer Look

Happy Monday everyone. Today ill show you what summer look I came up with during the weekend. I normally don't wear this kind of makeup but it was so nice outside and the sun makes me so crazy thinhgs 

 

Base: Nivea cream. I love this cream I have very dry skin and this heavy cream does a great job. I also like it how it works with my foundation too. I have used so many different moisturising creams under my foundation and they all have not worked. In other words what I mean to say is that all my flaky patches would come through and it would look terrible and as girls know that is not a good look for anyone. 

As you can see I have already hit pan on this concealer and I will be getting a new one and I am thinking of doing a review too. 

I took pictures of the colors that I used but the palette is in a total state as Rhys got his little finger and distroyed a lot of the shades. From his picture you can see I uses a pink a purple and a turquoise on the bottom. 

I just picked colors that I thought would look nice. I think I didn't do too bad of a job. I really like it anyway. The palette that I used the 88 Matte color palette from Blank Canvas Cosmetics. This is the only palette that I have from them and I love it.  I will need to replace it though as it look awful at the moment. 

The lipstick that I uses is an Avon called Naughty and Nice. I apply it very lightly as its a bit on the dark side to be a nice nude. 

 

This is what it looks like when applies on the heavy side. It has a orenge under tone. The smell of the lipstick is amazing. It smells like coconuts. 

I hope you like this look. I will be coming up with some more for the summer!
