Dublin Meet-Up!
Hey everyone!
This post is a week late, but better late than never! Last Saturday I was at my second ever blogger meet up, organised by the lovely Sam of All The Buzz. It was a great day, enjoyed by all.
The first 20 bloggers to arrive where presented with not one, not two but THREE goody bags full of amazing products. Paul from The Cosmetic Outlet kindly donated 20 bags, which contained 5 full sized products. The brands in each bag varied, and I got some lovely products from GOSH.
The second bag was one from Healthpoint Ltd and was filled with some lovely skincare products, lip balm and mascara, all from Derma V10. The body butter I got in this bag is one of the most incredible things I have ever smelled and it left my skin feeling incredibly soft!
The third bag was filled with a lot of different things given by a few different companies. Inside there was a Keratase product, donated by Peter Mark, a make up bag of skincare products from Nimue Skincare, a full sized bottle of self tan from Baby B Browne, samples from Neals Yard Remedies, two full sized beauty bars from Dove, a face mask from Anatomicals, Oriflame Oxygen Boost Day Shield and Matrarrana samples from Wapo.
There were also cupcakes from Monaco Cupcakes and I have to say, they were absolutely amazing. I had one of the chocolate ones and it was one of the best cupcakes I have ever had. Definitely need to go find the shop and get some more of them!
After about an hour or so of mingling with the other bloggers, we were treated to a make-up demonstration from Niamh Martin of Nima Brush, who was also gave a demonstration at the last blogger meet up I was at. After she finished with her demo, she gave us all a kabuki brush from one of her collections, the Elite collection and she also sent me one of her Nima Mitts, which was what she had given everyone at the last meet-up. I had missed out on the mitt since I had left early that day and upon mentioning this to Niamh, she kindly offered to send one out to me, which arrived on Tuesday morning! Thank you Niamh!
After Niamh's demonstration, Michelle McMahon from her.ie came to chat with us for a while. She told us about how she landed the position of editor of her.ie, and she gave us loads of tips on how to make our blogs more successful and how to utilise social media. She was also happy to answer any questions we had about these topics.
Last of all came the raffle, which was in aid of Reach Out Ireland. There were some amazing prizes up for grabs, including an amazing Urban Decay hamper donated by The Cosmetic Outlet (I think it's safe to say we all had our eyes on this one!), a €100 Dundrum voucher, a Neals Yard Remedies hamper and a few others. I wasn't lucky enough to win anything, but congrats to all the ladies that did win!
I had a really great time at the meet-up, it was lovely to meet some more bloggers and to chat with some that I had met at the last meet-up. I can't wait for the next one! (Yes, I am going to say this after every single one :P)
Thanks again to Samantha for organising the whole thing! Check out her blog if you want to know even more about the event, including the list of all the other bloggers who attended!
Well, that's it for now. I hope you all enjoy the long weekend!

Professional Beauty + SBBC Wrap-Up Party
Hey guys!
As some of you may know, the Professional Beauty show was in Dublin on Sunday/Monday. Myself and two of my friends headed down on Sunday, hoping to snap up a good deal or two. I was determined to grab some cheap American brand nail polishes!
There were so many different stands, crammed with make-up, make-up brushes, nail polishes, nail art tools etc. One particular stand that caught my eye was one that was selling China Glaze polishes for €4.75, and also sets of 3 CG polishes for €9.50. Unfortunately, they didn't have any of the colours I wanted (I'd made a list and was sticking to it!) and I also found the brushes to be way too thin. I have two CGs at home and they have much thicker brushes than these ones did.
The next stand we stopped at was the O.P.I. stand. They were selling for €6 a bottle and had such a huge range! There was also such a rush at the stand because of this, but I managed to squeeze in and get a good look at the different colours. God only knows how long I was there for, but I eventually picked two polishes and dragged myself away. I got 'Alpine Snow', which is basic white polish, and 'Do You Lilac It?', which is, as the name suggests, lilac.
After browsing the other stands for another hour or so, we headed into town for a quick lunch and then I headed off to the blogger meet-up that Aisling of Total Make Up Addict had organised. It was so nice to go and meet some other Irish beauty bloggers, and the party itself was so much fun and so well organised. We all got goodie bags, filled with products such as Ziaja creams, Surya Brasil products, Oriflame lipgloss and loads more. We were also given some information on the Surya Brasil products and Niamh Martin gave us a make-up demonstration using her brush line, Nima Brush. There was also a charity raffle with some amazing prizes, which I unfortunately missed as I had to leave early. I'm sure everyone really enjoyed it though!
All in all, it was a great day and I'm so looking forward to future beauty shows and blogger meet ups!

Rose Nail Art!
Hey guys!
I know I say this all the time, I'm sorry for not posting much. I've been really busy lately with college stuff and haven't really had the time to post.
I had yesterday off and I really wanted to make a new video. I was going to make a Halloween inspired mani but I didn't have some of the stuff I needed for it. Hopefully I'll get what I need when I go to Dundrum either today or tomorrow!
I decided to make a tutorial for rose nail art instead. This design is actually pretty easy to create and it's so pretty too! I seriously can't stop staring at my nails!
I hope you enjoy! Please like, comment and subscribe!
