New Job!

Its Summer, this means no school and excessive shopping. when you are a teenager and you love make-up and clothes money can be quite a problem. I will be 16 in August which means that right now I am able to work. So obviously I have decided to get a summer job (my mother wants me out of the house) for a few hours a week. Now that I know that I will have my own income without having to spread out any money that I may get at my Birthday and Christmas, I can splurge (reasonably) on some beauty and fashion items which I get very excited about.
"What is your actual job?" you may ask, basically I work in a local hairdressers where I wash hair, sweep the floor, take appointments and make a substantial amount of tea and coffee. It probably sounds quite boring to many people but the thing is when you are doing them few jobs you don't stop from 9 to 5 (cue Dolly Parton song) and there fore the time flies by. I am very appreciative of my job and I cant wait to go on some shopping sprees and share some reviews and hauls with you!

Wet n' Wild has landed!

Finally from over the seas Wet n' Wild has landed here in Ireland and soon coming to the Uk. I have noticed the counter in Penneys (Irish Primark) and in local pharmacies. I don't think the counters will be in shops like Boots or Superdrug as I think it will only be in little pharmacies like the European brands Essence and Catrice Cosmetics, but you never know. When I saw the stand I knew I had to buy something so I bought the eyeshadow trio in "Walking on Eggshells" and the cover all concealer Palette. Both of these purchases were great and I was very happy with them. I definitely want to try some of their lipsticks as I have heard great reviews on them but that will have to be at a later stage.



See You Soon,

Town with the Girls!

This time last week I was shopping in my local town with my friends, I knew I would be doing a blog post about this so I decided to take pictures. My friend cara vlogged the day however she has not yet uploaded it to youtube yet but here is her youtube: link.


We got the bus into town so of course we had to take a selfie! In this picture I am on the left, my friend Maeve blog is in the centre and my other friend Cara (mentioned above) is on the right. This is the only picture of actual people that I took and unfortunately one other of my friends Julie Ann blog lives in town and so I didn't get a picture with her.


After doing some shopping and dragging cara around boots like she was a little child whom was tired (however she was on her best behaviour... that does include her standing there with her hands up to her face like she was imitating sleeping and having a look in her eye like she is lost) we finally met up with the other girls and went for lunch at Cafe Mauds (I tried to put the accent in above the "e" but it just wasn't working). Here I tried to do the lifestyle blogger type of photo but I failed at it to be honest.


Along with my red slushie I ordered a pizza as many of my friends know I get hungry very easily and when my tummy gets hungry, it gets hungry! I ordered the make your own pizza with toppings of chicken and bacon. I must say it was truly scrumptious! (que Chitty Chitty Bang Bang sing along) After this we just went to the local play park for a little while as soon after we had to catch our bus home.

Purchases;


In sports direct I bought what is called the Nike downshifter 5- basically the lightest and brightest running shoe they had to motivate me to run.


Boots was having a 3 for 2 offer on all makeup and I had a gain 300 extra points on seventeen voucher from my card to use so I done a little shopping. The first thing I bought was the Barry M Gelly hi-shine lip pencil in the third colour as you know me I am attracted to bright colours.
I also bought the Seventeen phwoarr paint in the shade fair for my undereye bags. The packaging of this reminds me an awful lot of the Bobbi Brown corrector.
Finally I bought the Seventeen mirror shine lipstick in Beehive as after Lilly and Anna talking about it for soo long I just had to buy it.

Sorry that the second picture is a bit dodgy I will try to take a better one next time!
My other friend natalia was not able to come with us but I thought I should link her as well as it wouldn't be fair if I left her out as she has a really good blog as well here.
See You Soon,
<3
