Wet'n'Wild Launch Night

 I don't think I was as excited about Christmas as I was tonight heading off to the launch night of Wet'n'Wild in House, Oh my goodness can you say quality and affordable make up? I certainly can! I headed into the event with the lovely Samantha (All The Buzz) she seems to put up with me a lot, poor lady! We were met by the lovely ladies who organized this event and the fun started!

As you can see there were cup cakes and cake pops. Oh mammy these were so nice, the people over at Monaco Cupcakes made them. Colours that you can eat? Well it would be plain rude not to! But now onto what everyone wants to read about, the make up!


Below are all the W'n'W products. I genuinely now have a list the length of my arm to buy, I can't wait! They are available in Dunnes, Pennys and selected pharmacies nationwide. One of the really friendly make up artists touched up the remains of my make up for me and I have to say, the foundation and concealer will be first on my list, it felt amazing and covered all my skin sins! Also can you just look at the eye shadow palettes? Oh be still my beating heart. I can't even comment on the sparkly nail varnish, I 'll be here all day. I was also lucky enough to be given a gift bag and I have to admit, when I sat in McDonalds (as you do) and had a peak in the bag I got well overexcited about all my goodies! I will be doing lots of reviews!




Above is a close up of my make up that the make up artist did for me. My lips and skin are all her wonderful work! My eyes are my new TopShop palette and essence liquid eye liner. My OOTD was my Asos dress and my died and gone to heaven Jeffrey Campbells that I got from my besties for Christmas. (I know, right!?) Also a little sssnap of the room!

  
Lastly we have the gorgeous Chloe (Nurse Fancy Pants) modelling W'n'W magazine. Oh *dies* how amazing are her eyes? I give up. Then the entire W'n'W make up stand full to the brim with magic things. I didn't stand beside it for long because drooling isn't attractive so I've been told. I couldn't not snap Robyn (Robyn Rants And Raves) having a go of the fab lipsticks, doesn't she look like a model? 

I had a really amazing night, I was so so lucky to be able to natter with so many lovely bloggers, I am really so lucky! To name a few; GirlFriday  who still loves me even though I'm a bit mad and I also got to meet the really lovely and down to earth Sinead (The Beautiful Truth). I was delighted to finally meet her as I read every blog post she writes and picture she posts on Instagram with (far too much) enthusiasm! I managed to make a show of myself fangirling (and crying - yeah, I know) when I met Karen form Lovely Girly Bits.  She is so super nice and I think I might have freaked her out a bit, I couldn't even tell her my blog name to start with! You can't bring me anywhere, I know. 

Make sure and keep an eye out for my reviews of Wet'n'Wild and also for the products in the shops - que the excitement of it all!!

Sales Buys Part 4: Asos And Soap&Glory


So this is the final installment of my crazy Christmas buys for the year, I promise you all! If any of you have been here a while or know me from rabbiting on Twitter, you will know my favourite clothes site is Asos by miles. I just can't get enough of their gorgeous stocks that are ever changing (I just heard my purse cry as I typed that..) And not only are they true to their sizing  but they can be found with sales of up to 70% off at times if you keep checking back. What more could you ask for? Free shipping maybe? Well, they have that too and its worldwide. Can you see why I love it now!

So I was minding my own business the other day when I noticed they had indeed a 70% sale on selected items and an extra 10% off that they tweeted about. Could I really say no to that, now be honest? As always they have amazing shipping times and I got these bits 4 days after ordering them, bang on estimated times!

Sorry for the dreadful lighting, I was racing against the day light and even went outside to try and get the best light. I will retake these while wearing the dresses once I have le boyfriend about again next week.


First this gorgeous warm purple dress with black detailing that I got for around €22. Purple is my favourite colour and I am really in love with this dress. As you can see below, the black lace top is sheer and a tad see through, but it doesn't show anything off, so no need to avert your eyes! Its wonderfully stretchy at the waist so it slips on easily and its got a slightly winged look at the sleeves. There is also a little button at the back which is a cute detail as it leaves a space for a cheeky bit of skin. Ohherrr! Also, when you spin (because everyone spins, don't lie) it goes really wide. Funness! 

I can't find it any longer on the site, but heres a dress thats the same colours just a different style, or theres one here if you feel that ones not your kind of thing but still want the same kind of purple.



Next I got this lovely cream dress that has a similar lace style at the top as the one above. It has a beautiful black ribbon around the waist that really sets off the cream colour. It has a hidden zip at the back thats easy to get on and off along with a lovely v-neck that looks amazing in the lace. I got this back in August in a navy for full price, but never wore it for the event I had got it for so I returned it. I really wanted it in this cream but this colour wasn't suited for the occasion. So I was over the moon delighted that it was now only €25.28 and in my size in the colour I wanted. Score! You can still buy some sizes over here and get a much better description and look at the dress! 




I couldn't pass up these boots for only €26.96 down from nearly €54. I have been scouting out for some good sale boots as my lovely ones from Pennys that I've lived in since I bought them back at the start of autumn are wearing a little thin! These are so comfy and they have a lined inside so your toes are extra toastie. I love the buckle detailing and the little bit of a heel. You can see them over here.


Lastly I might have sent Stephen on a mission when he was passing Boots a while ago. I had seen this Soap&Glory face time gift set in the sales and now that it was half price, down from €32 I couldn't resist getting him to see if they still had some in stock. Oh me oh my, how I love this set! I can't wait to use everything and give you all some rambles and reviews on it.

The Valentines Look

If your going to be out and about this Valentines day or have a lovely date night all planned with your favourite person, you'll want something to wow them. So here are three outfits I think would go down a treat for such a day. I had so much fun making these and drooling over them too!


Now despite this Asos label being called Little Mistress (ahem) I think this is such a beautiful shift dress to have in your wardrobe. Its a fab colour and cut, not to mention the design and bead detailing around the neck line which means you don't need loads of jewellery to set this dress off. The cuffs also add the less is more feel with three buttons down each side, so theres no need to worry about a bracelet and only a thought for a ring. Its something you can throw on and walk out the door in 10 minutes flat. Sounds good to me. With it being such a bold colour, I thought I would pair it with a cute kissing birds bag in black thats also from Asos, along with black heels and spike chandelier earrings that are both  from Forever21.


Next is another dress that I want to run out and buy the second I post this - but will try to resist. Its a very 'valentines dress' being red and  pretty. Topshops Lace Sweetheart Dress is part of their concession collection, so just bare that in mind if your thinking of ordering it. It has a sweetheart neckline with lace mid-length sleeves and lace to the waist, giving way to a chiffon skirt. It also comes with a thin brown belt to draw eyes to your waist. But if I was to have my way I would ditch the brown belt and go for a silver instead to add an edge to the oh-so-sweet look. A killer pair of these amazing Platform Pumps from Forever21, a black metallic clutch  from New Look and bam, off you go sexy!


Lastly, a more casual laid back feel if your not going for the whole dress up look. River Islands lip print tank top is just enough bling to set the tone. Its really fab covered in diamante embellishment with a longline shape, perfect loose or tucked into jeans or pants. Speaking of which, Topshops navy blue disco treggings are to die for. No really, take a moment to enjoy how gorgeous they are! Paired with some well loved converse and that amazing black heart shaped bag from A|wear thats covered in studs and you are ready to face the world.  

Have you decided what your going to wear February 14th?
 Keep an eye out, I'll have another post up later for all you lovely folks!

ASOS Dress


Image: http://www.asos.com

This is a dress that I got from the ASOS Collection in the January sales. It has the most lovely floral print with a dark green background, a crew neckline with a collar and mesh inserts. Some cropped puff sleeves, a  fitted waist and flared skirt along with a hidden zip at the back. It is really the perfect cut for the more curvy girlies like myself. They also do a 'curve +size range' from a uk size 18 and up.

It was originally €60.68 but I managed a steal of just €26.97. ASOS has a 25% off student discount right now for Irish and UK students up until 9am Friday, so get crackin' on and find something lovely for this Spring. To make matters better they do a standard free delivery service worldwide. Now isn't that a little extra happiness in your life? I hate paying for shipping!! Visit them here.

Happy shopping!

Friday Favourites #2


Its Friday again and I am glad the week is finally over. It was jam packed with loads of stuff, so now is the time to put the feet up and relax a bit me thinks. This week I've been really enjoying this lovely list of bits;

Site: One Click At A Time
This is a site thats well worth checking out. There are many like it, but I found this one to have a variety of things to choose. You simply go and 'click', thats all. By doing so you are donating to a cause, but you are not paying yourself. Have a look and maybe visit if you are bored.

Food: Muller Rice
Need I say more? I got a pack of 6 on offer in Tesco for €3.00 that has 3 plain and 3 strawberry. I have been munching my way through them all week and can safely say I love opening the fridge to have a root and find something yummy!

Blog: Sprinkle Of Glitter
I love to follow all types of blogs and this one is a must-read for me. Louise is a beauty guru who also is part of the YouTube family. I would go check her out here if you love fashion and beauty. She also blogs and makes videos with her little girl, 'Baby Glitter' - and we all know I'm a sucker for anything cute!

Game: Shark Dash
This game is for iPhones and Android phones. As far as I know its only free for Android users and under a euro otherwise. I was introduced to it the other day by a friend and its just so addictive! The aim of the game is to get the shark to eat ducks by jumping through hoops and up in the air past platforms. Its fun and easy to use - at first! I think it attracts me as well by the animations of how cartoon-like the animals are and how funny they look. 

Thing: The Winter Sales
I bagged myself some great bargins in the sales, both in the shops and online. I had a brilliant time in Boots with my Advantage Card points and a gift voucher, picking up a few bits for myself and some presents for my January birthday people! A little poke around Asos and I came away with a beautiful dress that was better then half price. Once the post man comes I will have a show and tell!

Product: Herbal Essences Seductively Straight Hair Mask
I picked this up a few weeks ago as I was looking for an intensive hair treatment and it was on special offer. This gem has been my go-to hair treat that keeps it soft and shiny. You can read all about it over here.

Thats all from me for now, I hope you all have a fab weekend and go try something new!
