Girly night with Buff Make-Up!

Last Wednesday I had a lovely little girly night involving wine, make-up and lots of giggles. I went to the Buff Make-Up event which was held in the Westbury Hotel in Dublin (Fancy, I know;)). 

Buff is the new make-up brand on the scene with two shops in Dublin, one in Clontarf and one in Drumcondra. The head make-up artists from each shop showed how to create two completely different looks embracing their own unique style of applying make-up using Buff products. It was great to see how they created such different looks from start to finish.

My favourite product they used was their 'Sheer Glo- ' illumination lotion. It can be used as a highlighter after you've applied your make-up or before to give your skin that beautiful glowing look. 

  

'Sheer Glo- Movie Star' - €32 

Buff reminds me alot of M.A.C from the packaging to the price tag but some cool things that make buff stand out are:

• Every compact comes with a little mirror and application brush or sponge. 
• Their HD foundation is AMAZING! It is so silky and a small amount goes along way meaning that it will last and you won't need to run out to buy more any time soon ;)
• They have a brow pallet which is €25 and comes with a shade to match your eye brow colour, wax, a mini-tweezers and an application brush. Pretty cool right?!

'Bronzer'- €30 

'Brow Pallet'- €25

SJP Oscar De La Renta dress inspired nail design!

 

 

The theme for this years Met Gala was dedicated to America's first couturier, Chares James, which meant it was an extremely glamorous night!

When I seen pictures of Sarah Jessica Parkers Oscar De La Renta dress I thought it was very Carrie Bradshaw of her! It was black and ivory with a windowpane design at the back of the skirt. I am a massive fan of 'Sex in the City' and  it reminded me of the time her (Carrie Bradshaw not SJP) Russian Lover (lol) gave her a gift of a pink cocktail Oscar De La Renta dress!

Anyone remember this episode....
As they ate 'French fries' in black tie attire, how romantic...

 

 

 

 

I seen a cool nail design inspired by this fabulous dress and decided to give it ago. It turned out a little something like this...

WetNWild Brunch!

Well hello lovely people, hope you are having a fun week so far! 

I am really enjoying writing and creating designs for my blog and it's getting exciting. I went to my first ever bloggers event last Saturday held in the Morgan Hotel on Fleet Street. It was to discuss and try out the products 'WetNWid' have to offer their new fabulous Irish customers. 
They're an American Cosmetic brand which just launched in Ireland this year starting off in Dunnes Stores and working their way into Pennys ( started from the bottom now we here! lol). I had such a great time meeting fellow bloggers and chatting about all the wonderful products in front of us. 

Obviously as a proud nail varnish addict my eyes went straight to the ginormous bottles of nail varnishes! Seriously guys they look the exact same as 'Sally Hansen' nail varnishes but wayyyyyy less expensive. All of their nail varnishes are under the €3 mark so you definitely get your moneys worth:) 

The colours I've tried out so far include 'I Red A Good Book' and 'Wet Cement'. They're part of the 'WetNWild megalast' nail varnishes.

I really like 'Wet Cement' as it's simple and looks great with a bit of tan. 

'I Red A Good Book'- Such a witty name lol. There is just something about having red nails that makes you feel so powerful and ready to take on the world! 

The best things I thought about them are:

1. The brush is big enough to fit your entire nail so one swoop is enough to cover it all in whatever your favourite colour may be;)This makes that sticky mess when you are going over and over one nail to cover it all a thing of the past.
2. It drys in literally 10 seconds. So no more waiting around to apply another coat!
3. Its long lasting which means it wont start to chip for a few days .
4. Also the finish on them is so shiny which means a clear top coat isn't necessary to get that shine! (I didn't use one on mine)
5. The size of the bottle! I think I will have these for a pretty long time. 'This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship'-Casablanca LOL

I am definitely going to buy some new colours from this range, because as a student you're always trying to save them dollaaa billzzz;) 

Have a great weekend everyone, its almost here!! #wooo

 Xoxo

This nail design pop up on my instagram and I thought it was so quirky and cool! It's probably one of my favorite yet most simple designs I've tried out recently. 

I put together a little film strip so you could all see how to do it:)
