Green

I dont usually tend to where colours on my eyes. I go for the brown shades or a grey smoky eye sometimes when I'm going out. But today while my daughter was napping I decided against doing the sensible thing which would be to clean my house and instead started playing with makeup! As you do.

I started playing with green colours and even went for some lashes to finish the look off which is another never for me. I recently bought the DUO eyelash glue in the dark shade and was curious to see if there was much of a difference and I loved it.

Portlaoise Minibreak

Last week my other half and I took our daughters down the country to Portlaoise for a few nights for a much needed mini break. Excited at the prospect of having some new scenery to take outfit posts I packed wayyy too much clothes. But it turns out trying to keep an eye on two very active little girls in a town you don't know leaves very little time for taking pictures of clothes. The girls had an amazing time we on the other hand probably could of done with another break afterwards ha.

I was so happy to finally get using my Cath Kitson luggage Marc got me for Christmas.. its only been 7 months after all :)

Kevyn Aucoin Skin Enhancer

As I mentioned on my Facebook page I'm loving the Kevyn Aucoin sensual skin enhancer at the minute. I've had this for a while as I first heard about it when I attended Tara Makeups master class. I've used it on clients but only recently tried it on myself. It's actually a concealer but can be mixed with a primer and used as a foundation. You only need to smallest amount to cover your entire face so at €45 the pot will last you a really long time. It has a buildable full coverage and suits all skin types. I used shade SX10 which is quite dark and would need to be worn with tan. It is available in Mise Dundalk.

Bobspiration

So lately I've been crushing on bobs like crazy!!! I was growing my hair but I just get so bored of it! I find when its long I just throw it up in a ponytail all the time so it's pointless!! So after stalking all my favourite bobs I sent my lovely hairdresser (hi dee!) some pics of the gorgeous Mylenne klass and told her to go nuts.  

I'm so happy I did!! I love it it's so much easier to manage which is what I need with the girls. 

Here's some of the lovely ladies I've been stalking while I decided what to do. 

Work night

Saturday night myself and all the girls from the shop went for a gorgeous meal to wish our even more gorgeous Kristina Bon voyage as she's heading off to America for the next three months. 

Hope you have an amazing time my dear!!

Culottes

I'm absolutely loving culottes at the minute. I picked these ones up in primark and they are so comfortable. I think they look so feminine and love the way they can be be dressed up or down. They were perfect for date night.

Make Up for Green Eyes

As I Said in my last review I've started to use BB cream instead of foundation during the day. I decided to do a makeup look that uses the BB cream and one that also compliments green eyes.
