Hi everyone, <br />
I haven't posted in a very long time, I've missed my blog so much but like every hobby, life gets in the way. so all sob stories aside I'm really looking forward to getting this blog up and running again. I want to start introducing my <strike>LOVE</strike>...Obsession with handbags. Before I ever hand over money for a luxury or more expensive item, I always do my research online for blogs, reviews, anything that can give me more information on the product and everybody will have different pro's and con's of each item. This is the kind of information I want to hear, but often enough you just cant seem to find a lot of info on certain handbags. so just like the products I have been reviewing, hopefully there will be some bags being featured as well. I'm really looking forward to starting this new little chapter on the blog!!</div>

Recently in the media, and also personal social media's there are people who think they can say what they want and spread their unwanted nasty opinions of other people freely, and this is NOT OK! Body shaming/bashing is something I have come to witness a lot lately and to be quite honest is gets me so wound up every day. (While this post is mainly discussing body image in relation to women, I am fully aware this happens with males too, but because I really don't know much about how it effects males, I think I will leave that up to the male bloggers to share their opinion on the matter.)<br />
<br />
As a plus size girl I know how hard it is for girls like myself to be confident and to be body proud as we see everyday in magazines and TV these <span></span><span>idealized picture perfect</span> women who we are "supposed" to conform into. until recently I would have said to be bigger person in this society is one of the worst positions to be in, but I have also witnessed body bashing onto naturally skinny women, the slogan I hear all the time is "Real" woman have curves. This sentence rattles my bones because every woman is a real woman, we should all be in unity against the image we are supposed to have but rather than woman helping other woman when media bashes our size and looks, woman turn on women and because of this we have people with low self esteem and extreme body issues.<br />
<br />
I brought this topic to a number of my friends of different sizes & looks and they all had something they didn't like about themselves while all I could see was they were all flawless. this proves that none of us know the next persons story or feelings towards their own image.<br />
<br />
This is were #bodyUNashamed comes in, the gorgeous Penny from<span class="u-linkComplex-target"> <a href="https://twitter.com/lilliesandlove" target="_blank">@lilliesandlove </a></span><br />
<span class="u-linkComplex-target">started this project about people coming together and sharing positive body image and about women being positive about one another. The media will never change there will always be a certain type they will put in to the public's eye but if this project can get everyday women to spread good words about each other and for women to look at themselves in a positive way, I think this in itself is a huge success. </span><br />

<span class="u-linkComplex-target"> ( Image source - <a href="http://isaiahstephens.deviantart.com/art/Beautiful-Body-Types-386328971" target="_blank">Beautiful-body-types</a> )</span><br />
<span class="u-linkComplex-target"><br /></span>
<span class="u-linkComplex-target">As part of this post we were giving another blogger to write about, we were asked to write three things about this person we think are great, the blogger I was giving was <a href="https://twitter.com/NickiKinickie" target="_blank">@NickiKinickie</a> :)</span><br />
<span class="u-linkComplex-target"><br /></span>
<span class="u-linkComplex-target">Now I could write a whole post on how this girl is amazing and great but I will list three, I went through her blog and social media sites and really found a true gem. Nicki is an amazing lifestyle blogger who writes really interesting post about everything she feels she has an opinion on, She is a mum and wife and has two adorable bunnies (I want one now after seeing them!) As I was going through some of her posts I could really relate to the situations she was writing about, I loved her post on friendship, how they can come in and out of your life, it's a brilliant read I would definitely recommend it! So as I was learning more about Nicki, I was sad I hadn't found her sooner. </span><br />
<span class="u-linkComplex-target"><br /></span>
<span class="u-linkComplex-target">The three things that I think are great about Nicki are:</span><br />
<span class="u-linkComplex-target"><br /></span>
<span class="u-linkComplex-target">1 - Nicki has gorgeous eyes, its the first thing I see when I look at people. And on a side note I wish I had her eyeliner skills!!</span><br />
<span class="u-linkComplex-target"><br /></span>
<span class="u-linkComplex-target">2- I love her passion when she introduces her blog in her YouTube introduction video, you can tell she writes about stuff she genuinely has an interest in and I think when you can give your honest opinion, it's a big thing in the blogging world. </span><br />
<span class="u-linkComplex-target"><br /></span>
<span class="u-linkComplex-target">3 - I am in love with Nicki's hair, I think it suits her face so much and the cut & length is just fab! </span><br />
<span class="u-linkComplex-target"><br /></span>
<span class="u-linkComplex-target"><br /></span>
<span class="u-linkComplex-target"><br /></span>
<span class="u-linkComplex-target">The second part of this post was to wrote three things about ourselves we thought were amazing which like most women I find hard to do but here's what I came up with:</span><br />
<span class="u-linkComplex-target"><br /></span>
<span class="u-linkComplex-target">1 - I like my smile, I have straight enough teeth and I like to smile, I think it can turn a bad day into a good one. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="u-linkComplex-target">2 - I love my pale skin, I embrace the pale! </span><br />
<span class="u-linkComplex-target"><br /></span>
<span class="u-linkComplex-target">3- And finally I like my eye colour, it can change depending on what light I'm in. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="u-linkComplex-target">I'm still on a long road to loving myself and accepting my body image, but changing your hate towards your body image is the first step you have to take and I encourage all of you to think of three things you think are great about yourself :) </span><br />
<span class="u-linkComplex-target"><br /></span>
<span class="u-linkComplex-target">Well that was my #bodyUNashamed post, and I really hope you took something from this. I hope now when your on social media and see a nasty comment or someone body bashing you will write a comment and use the hashtag #bodyUnashamed because we need to work together and spread POSITIVE body image!</span><br />

A lot of bloggers & YouTube'rs have been featuring these and I got so intrigued I had to go into Space NK and I had a goo at them.<br />

The By Terry counter in space nk is so amazing, I took a few moments swooning over everything but I was on a mission. I spotted the beautiful selection of colours available in the ombre blackstar. My hand was totally swatched with numerous fab colours but I decided on the colour "bronze Moon" unfortunately they had sold out so I had to look again but Bronze moon is on my list! My second choice was "Misty Rock" and its absolutely stunning! my descriptive talent wouldn't be as good as the picture below so I will let the picture tell you how lovely it is.<br />

Apart from the amazing shade range the ombre blackstar is so easy to use. I'm not the best at eye makeup so when I find something that pretty much does the work for you I'm sold! it comes in a stunning fancy tube which is an easy pen form, you just swipe onto the eyelids, its very build able so you can get the intensity you want. To finish the look off just take a blending brush and blend out any harsh lines in the crease, its SO simple.<br />
<br />
<br />
Although these are on the pricy side I have to say you get what you pay for, a little goes as long way as they are very pigmented. I also have to say once the product has set on your eyelids there's no budging it. When I swatched it on my hands I could wipe it off, I had to take a eye makeup remover to get it off. This would be great if you need an eye look to stay all day and still look flawless at the end of the night. All in all I love the ombre blackstars and if I could I would get all the colours! <br />

I've been swooning over this particular powder for a very long time, everyone went crazy for the Hourglass palette that came out before christmas but I just didnt like it that much so I decided I would buy the one I liked and that suited my skin type. The Hourglss websites states that each powder captures, diffuses and softens surrounding light with groundbreaking photo luminescent technology. It also is a universal finishing powder that creates the lighting effect you desire. All the powders are paraben free, talc free, fragrance free, nano-particle free and gluten free.<br />

I made my way out to Dundrum, and popped into Space nk in Harvey Nichols. I spent quite a while trying to pick between the different powders because they are all really amazing but I finally decided on the one I could wear everyday if I wanted to and that would suit my oily/combo skin type. So I went with "Ethereal Light".<br />
<br />
Ethereal light is an opalescent sheer, cool white powder that eliminates shine and mimics a moonlit glow even in broad daylight! And trust me this little beauty really works. I always knew it would be a holy grail product but what really proves itself to me when other people/friends comment on how well you look when your wearing it. Ultimate day made!!<br />

<br />
<br />
If this doesn't sound like your cup of tea don't worry my friend because there are 5 other powders to choose from ~ <br />
<br />
<b>Diffused Light:</b> A soft, warm, pale yellow that reduces redness, eliminates shine, and gives skin clarity. <br />
<br />
<b>
Dim Light:</b> A neutral soft beige that provides a perfect balance of warm and cool tones to blur imperfections. <br />
<br />
<b>
Mood Light:</b> A soft, sheer lavender pink that mimics the softest, most forgiving light and brightens the complexion. <br />
<br />
<b>
Luminous Light:</b> A champagne pearl that creates a soft, incandescent candlelit glow—day or night. <br />
<br />
<b>
Radiant Light:</b> A sun-kissed golden beige that enhances the overall complexion with believable, subtle warmth.<br />
<br />
<br />
These powders really are stunning but at €41 euros they don't come cheap. But if you have the money and you would like to treat yourself these powders are gorgeous & I know everyone will find one that suits them and that they will fall in love with!

<br />
<br />
So it's finally happened, Simply Beautify Me has now become a YouTuber as well as a blogger. I have been wanting to start my own channel for absolutely ages and I finally plucked up the courage to do it. I filmed and put up my first video about What I Got For Christmas this year. I picked this to start off with because it was a nice & simple thing to film!<br />
<br />
This could be a total fail and I'm prepared for that. The way I see it is I tried it and gave it a go and if I continue with it and enjoy it then that's a bonus. If I completly hate it well at least I tried & I can never say the dreaded "What if?". <br />
<br />
So I hope you all enjoy the video and would love if you could go have a watch and tell me what you think?<br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEzNS16yZwzWAx_FIEvdjlvsg4Ysbh_Z4I3idAie7s12UXZhq_7NPmnXsXICK4RFzFhC0e1WeVHfJ5HnpI7cN3sqbw4FmdUwFSZhRnVliHzeg0C11Kl5_RvU8g4JpcM-ep8Yshym3GEFYe/s1600/DSC_0452.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEzNS16yZwzWAx_FIEvdjlvsg4Ysbh_Z4I3idAie7s12UXZhq_7NPmnXsXICK4RFzFhC0e1WeVHfJ5HnpI7cN3sqbw4FmdUwFSZhRnVliHzeg0C11Kl5_RvU8g4JpcM-ep8Yshym3GEFYe/s400/DSC_0452.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Well girls, yes everyone and their mother right now is talking about this palette and yes I really think its worth all the hype, talk and love! When I first heard this was coming out I was a little sceptical about his because I have the first Naked and love it but I didn't see the point in buying Naked 2 even though it is very pretty. So when I saw the shades in the naked 3 I fell in love instantly. The rose toned shades in this are Divine and I thought they would look lovely with my skin tone. <br />
<br />
I love the packaging on this one, the naked 1 has a cardboard Velvet packaging that has a magnetic closure which I do like but like the naked 2, the naked 3 has the tin packaging which has a click and secure closure. The naked 3 has a rose gold tin with ruched detailing. In this palette you get a doubled ended eye brush that has a side to pack on colour on the lid and another fluffy side to blend colours in the crease. Also in the box you get a sampler of Urban Decay's eye shadow primers. You get four little pots that say you have a weeks worth of primer. The samplers you get: Original, Eden, sin and anti-ageing. <br />
<br />
So the same as the other two, this palette has 12 shades which range between two fully matte shades, satin mattes and then shimmery shades. <br />
<br />
The shades are as follows:<br />
<br />
Strange<br />
Dust<br />
Burnout<br />
Limit<br />
Buzz<br />
Trick<br />
Nooner<br />
Liar<br />
Factory<br />
Mugshot<br />
Darkside<br />
Blackheart<br />
<br />
<br />

(A dodgy photo of swatches but at least you see the shades!) <br />
<br />
I love all of the shades in this palette obviously I have my favourites which are burnout, limit, buzz, nooner and darkside. but I can honesty say I don't dislike any of them. The one I have a slight problem with is Dust because it is a strong glitter shimmery shadow you get a lot of fallout but I can live with that. These shades like all of urban decays eye shadows have incredible pigmented and they blend super well.<br />
<br />
All in all this is by far my favourite of the three nakeds from Urban Decay. I just think the rosey toned shades suit me more and its more my style. I think this palette is nice to have and for me I'm going to get a LOT of use out of it. If you are someone who has the other two naked palettes I can honestly say this is nothing like them and I do think it is a nice contrast from the other two naked palettes. <br />
<br />
I really don't know how I happened to get this palette early because I was told by a Urban decay shop assistant that this palette would not be out in Ireland until the 16th but one day after college I went to have a look at the naked 3 in another Urban Decay shop and the lady told me there they would be selling it on the 12th. So I obviously went in on the 12th and got it. There was only a few left when I got mine. But as far as I know this is available in all Urban Decay stores on the 16th of this month and be warned this will sell out fast!! The sales assistant even told me in build up for this palette to be released they had sold out of the Naked 1 & 2! So if this is on your daughters, girlfriends, mother or anyone belonging to you Christmas list I would be up early on the 16th to grab it before it goes!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
You are probably all thinking you are so late on the bandwagon with this one and I know I truly am. But I always walked past this foundation in boots and never gave it much thought until recently. I was at the Revlon stand at the lipsticks when I decided to have a look at their foundations. This is where my dizzy head comes into play though, I had my boyfriend with me who was getting slightly tried of walking around boots so I decided to hurry up in picking the last few bits up. I picked this foundation in the colour "Ivory" and headed for the tills. <br />
<br />
The next day I was dying to try this so I applied it and LOVED it would be an understatement! It look so amazing on my face and the finish is beautiful. I took a second look at the bottle and I had actually picked up the one for normal to dry skin one and immediately could have face palmed myself! I have really oily skin lately so I thought this would be a disaster, but I had no time to take it off and re-apply something. So I finished my makeup and headed out.<br />
<br />
When I got in after quite a busy day running around doing various things I was pleasantly surprised at how well this foundation had lasted on my face. I wasn't a grease ball and my face actually looked the very near same to what I had looked like that morning. This baffles me still? I'm tempted to pick up the formula for oily skin to see what the difference is? If anyone has tried both please leave a comment because I'd love to know what other people think.<br />
<br />
The texture of this foundation is really nice, its feels very soft and velvet. I apply this with my fingers as I just find it quick and easy but I think this foundation would work really well with a brush also! <br />
<br />
All in all, I really love this foundation despite my worries it has really impressed me. I would really recommend this if your looking for a new base, I wear this now as my everyday foundation. They have a good shade selection and a formula for every skin type!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So its that time of season to do the Autumn Tag! I was tagged by the lovely Kammi, make sure to get check her Autumn tag out and also her blog is really nice and a really good read with a cuppa ~ <a href="http://beautybookblog.com/" target="_blank">blog</a><br />
<br />
<br />
So lets get on with the questions...<br />
<br />
<br />
<i><b>Favourite thing about Autumn?</b></i><br />
<br />
My favourite thing about Autumn is the feeling of getting cosy, wrapping up in cosy jumpers and cardigans. There's nothing better than getting cosy on the couch watching tv or reading a good book.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Favourite drink?</b></i><br />
<br />
Its pretty common but my favourite drink (while it is out) is Starbucks Pumpkin Spiced Latte, I love this stuff and try to get as many as I can because Starbucks only has them on sale for a short time. But when i cant get this my next option which is equally as delicious is a nice hot Chai Latte, all the flavour's in these drinks just get me in the mood for Christmas haha!<br />
<i><b> </b></i><br />
<i><b> </b></i><br />
<br />
<i><b>Favourite scented candle?</b></i><br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>
I love any cinnamon scented candles, as you can probably tell by now I like the taste and smell of different spices so anything spicy I love but I especially love a good cinnamon candle!<br />
<br />
<br />
<i><b>Favourite Lippy?</b></i><br />
<br />
When Autumn comes around I'm so ready for the transition in my everyday makeup! I swap my nudes and peaches for plums & berry's. My favourite everyday plum lipstick is Plumful by Mac!<br />
<i><b> </b></i><br />
<i><b> </b></i><br />
<br />
<i><b>Go to moisturiser?</b></i><br />
<br />
Well lately I have been getting really oily around my nose and chin, so seen though its getting colder my skin is not getting any dryer so I still use my Favourite moisturiser, Clinque's Dramatically different moisturising gel!<br />
<i><b> </b></i><br />
<br />
<i><b>Go to colour for eyes?</b></i><br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>
My favourite colours this time of year like my lipsticks is berry/purple's but I tend not to year them both at the same time so if i have a berry toned eye, ill go for a nude lip. My favourite shade on the eye is Cranberry by Mac, its one of those shades that suits everyone!<br />
<br />
<i><b>Favourite music to listen to?</b></i><br />
<br />
My music doesn't really change in autumn but at the moment I'm loving Ben Howard & Bon Iver. Their music chills me out so much :)<br />
<i><b> </b></i><br />
<i><b> </b></i><br />
<br />
<i><b>Favourite outfit to wear?</b></i><br />
<br />
I don't really have a favourite outfit but I wear my tartan scarf and black boots to death so they would have to be my favourite!<br />
<i><b> </b></i><br />
<i><b> </b></i><br />
<br />
<i><b>Autumn Treat?</b></i><br />
<br />
For my it's buying lots of cosy jumpers and some really nice coffee!<br />
<br />
<i><b> </b></i><br />
<i><b> </b></i><br />
<i><b>Favourite place to be?</b></i><br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>
This answer will probably sound like my favourite thing about autumn, but I really love feeling cosy on the couch reading, or knitting which is a random hobby I have recently got into haha granny material in the making!<br />
<br />
<br />
Well that's all the questions answered, I hope you liked them! Thanks again to Kammi for tagging me!<br />
<br />
I'm tagging everyone & anyone who wants to do this, even just answer the questions in a comment because I'd love to hear your Autumn tag answers!<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">I have been nominated for the Liebster Award :<span style="font-family: inherit;">) I'm so thrilled to have been nominated by the lovely Hope Aslinger, go check out her amazing blog <a href="http://beautyandbliss67.blogspot.ie/" target="_blank">Here.</a></span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">So to be honest when I was told by hope that she had nominated me, I really had no clue what this award was about but I did some research and read the information on Hope's blog and now I think I have a fair idea on what it is. So this award is for bloggers who have been nominated to give it to other bloggers. These bloggers have to have less then 200 followers. ( I have used the follower count on bloglovin because it was easier that way) I think this is a brilliant idea, it really helps people get to know you and to keep finding more interesting blogs. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>1. What is your favourite thing about being a blogger?</b></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I think their are lost of things about being a blogger that I love but I especially because I get to meet and talk to people who are into the same things as I am. I have talked to some lovely people since starting my blog who have been super nice and really welcoming. I didn't feel like an outsider which may be sappy but it really is an amazing place to make some new friends who have common interests with you. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>2. Do you prefer lipstick or some sort of lip balm on a daily basis?</b></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Hands down It has to be a lip balm. Don't get me wrong I love my lipsticks but I'm addicted to lip balms, Their easy to apply throughout the day & keeping your lips in good condition at the same time. My favourite lip balm at the minute is My Burt's bees lip balm. </span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This is a really good question, and this really made me think on what was the most expensive product so I had a thing and finally came up with... My Laura Mercier oil free tinted moisturiser. It cost me a grand total of €48 in Harvey Nichols. Crazy I know, but totally Worth every penny. I use this every day and I will definitely be re-purchasing when it runs out. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Its going to be no surprise but I love shopping at Penny's (Primark). They have some really good stuff for affordable prices. I think you can find basics to some really nice on trend pieces. </span></span></span></div>

These products are the extra steps I take when I feel my skin needs them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask ~<br />
<br />
This mask is perfect if you have deep pores like I do which sometimes can get congested and plain right disgusting! For a charcoal mask the smell is not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I like using this at night time and I usually use it at least once a week, because as I said I need to keep clearing my pores. If your pores are not that bad you wouldn't have to use as often. I love this mask because unlike other face masks I've tried, when you take it off, your skin is firm and so smooth but not that horrible tight feeling you experience with a lot of face masks. I usually focus this product on my nose, cheeks and chin. I really love this mask and after two weeks of using this I noticed much clearer pores and with continual use I have seen a huge improvement. <br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Sudocrem ~<br />
<br />
Now this is going to seem odd for a few of you reading this but let me tell you this Little gem is a life saver. In Ireland this is known to heal pretty much anything & and you can be sure every household has this in their cupboard. Its an anti-septic cream which makes its powerful. If I have a spot coming I will dab some of this on and in the morning the redness and bump will be near to nothing. Also As strange as this sounds an occasional evening I use the what we like to call sudocream face mask ha ha, I only use this extreme measure when my skin is just a complete mess. I will apply the cream to my face and massage it in. I wait about 2 hours, usually have a cuppa and see whats on the Tv. After having a relax most of the cream has sinked into my skin but if not you can either wash off or keep massaging until all the cream has sinked into your skin. Trust me this may seem strange but it really works.<br />

Now on to Moisturisers (Clinque Dramatically Different Moisturising Gel, La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo & Hydraluron) <br />
<br />
I'm
really difficult when it comes to moisturisers, I've never found one that I liked enough to repurchase...until now!! I have two because I reach
for a certain one in a certain situation, for example when I have active
breakouts or my skin is just going through a hormonal mess (Ladies you
know what I'm talking about) I grab this magical item, This is the La
Roche Posay Effaclar Duo, this moisturiser is aimed at clogged pores and
active breakouts and after using this, it really does reduce redness
on spots and helps with my HUGE pores from getting clogged..Yuck! The texture of this cream is not like a typical moisturiser, its more like a serum that sinks into your skin quickly. The great thing about this product is you can also use it as a spot treatment and only apply on the areas you need it!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
My
Clinque moisturiser is my everyday moisturiser that I reach for
when my skin is just at its normal state, this stuff is amazing and by
first reading the title, I did think it was promising too much but it
really does have a dramatically different affect on your skin! My skin
felt more hydrated, plump and healthy! The best think about this product
is its aimed for oily/combo skin, but as most products that are aimed
for that skin type they really leave they skin very dry and not as
healthy looking in order to get most out of the anti oil properties in
the moisturiser but with the Clinque one, it does both, it help oil stay
at bay, and keeps your skin looking fab! WIN WIN. And also if you don't
have oily skin and are more Dry/combo they have the same product but its
called Dramatically different moisturising Lotion! I have totally fallen in love with this product & I really recommend it!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Now although this next product is
not a moisturiser, you use in under one so I decided to slot it in here!
This product is called hydraluron, and its quite interesting how this
works. You apply a small about all over you face, let it dry then use
your moisturiser. It states that it can hold up to 1,000 times it weight
in water which is pretty impressive. So basically when you put this on, It
keeps your skin very hydrated through out the whole day, and from
using it myself I can see the difference. My skin looks so fresh and
again plump. When I take my makeup off, This is the time when I can see the true outcome of the product, usually without using this product that day my skin looks so dead and just plain bad. But with is my skin just looks hydrated, which makes my colouration look really good. <br />

Toners</div>
<br />
<br />
Lately in the beauty world, toners are a bit of a hot topic, I myself changed my entire skincare routine when I was introduced to the amazing Caroline Hirons, On PixiWoo's Body Talk Youtube Channel. She featured in one of their videos talking all about skincare, This woman is a genius and I have to admit I'm addicted to her blog. What I really like about Caroline is she knows her stuff, and you can be guaranteed if she recommends it, its going to be amazing. You can check out her blog <a href="http://www.carolinehirons.com/" target="_blank">here</a>. Anyways in this video she was talking about toners and how the "toner" stage has become not needed. However The next product in my skincare she says to be the new way to tone AND Exfoliate...<br />
<br />
Clarins Gentle Exfoliator Brightening Toner ~<br />
<br />
Now I know when I first saw this I was a tad confused because I have oily skin & I always used to exfoliate with a thick cream with beads in it, but I was shocked when Caroline mentions that this tye of exfoliation is just spreading the bacteria around your face. I Immediately was grossed out and had to pick up one of the suggestions she mentioned in the video, I choose the Clarins exfoliator which is an acidic exfoliator. In contains loads of good stuff for your skin for example Glycolic Acid, tartaric acid etc all really good acids made to really exfoliate and tone your skin.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5SFaq7EnhWDgjF7e-zM_XQ8r_9Z3ZegC5oJ6v7Kk1oDZyy-JHnVPMEEvIkF8f3b49omnNKpsEWwyb6acJNz87zyK-29GceOMlLR76_y-WePACX_wyrhbUmJl8rMPdfbtrPR7MhLlCz0X1/s1600/blog+photos6.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5SFaq7EnhWDgjF7e-zM_XQ8r_9Z3ZegC5oJ6v7Kk1oDZyy-JHnVPMEEvIkF8f3b49omnNKpsEWwyb6acJNz87zyK-29GceOMlLR76_y-WePACX_wyrhbUmJl8rMPdfbtrPR7MhLlCz0X1/s400/blog+photos6.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
La Roche Posay Serozinc ~<br />
<br />
Now this product is something you put on after you do the above step, this is cleans all the bacteria off your face and for me really keeps nasty spots & breakouts from appearing on my skin. This product is also if your skin is feeling dehydrated during the day, you just spray in on and it can be applied over makeup. Caroline said a product like this is better for your skin than the facial sprays you see like Evian because these actually skin on the skin and end up making the skin even more dry.<br />

<br />
In this post unfortunately you are not going to find really cheap
skincare as I'm a firm believer that you get one skin, and in order to
have healthy skin and a lovely canvas to apply your makeup, you have to
invest in some quality skincare products!<br />
<strike><br /></strike>
So
some background of my skin, I have combo/Oily skin which can get VERY
oily. From using products for oily skin parts of my face have become dry
but this only happens sometimes for the most part I have oily skin.
Just a disclaimer these products work for me and might have a different
outcome with another person's skin.<br />
<br />
<br />
Cleansers ( Bioderma & Emma Hardie's Amazing Face Moringa Cleansing Balm.)<br />
<br />
To
take off my makeup or the first layer of it anyways I use my bioderma
on oval cotton pads. This is truly an amazing product and I really
enjoy using it, I have already done a blog post on this so f you want to
find out more you can do so here <a href="http://www.simplybeautify.me/2013/07/bioderma-crealine-h2o-solution.html">Bioderma Review</a>.<br />

<br />
<br />
This
next product is a true gem to have in your skincare! Emma Hardie's
Amazing face Balm just works wonders! I was very hesitant to buy this
as I have oily skin and I thought it would break my skin out as its a
balm. There is also a LOT of hype about this product online so I'm not
one to jump straight on the bandwagon, I did wait a while and researched
this product like crazy, so when everyone was loving it I decided I
would give it a go! My skin looks and feels fantastic from using this,
Its actually crazy how much of a difference my skin showed. My skin looks healthier and this stuff keeps nasty break outs at bay!<br />
<br />
You
get a pea sized about in your palm, add a few drops of water then
massage onto the face, it's a really nice feeling on your skin and doesn't
leave a horrible greasy residue!<br />

I wanted a pallete that I could put in my makeup bag and create a simple casual look , and also the size I choose is perfect for it to be used as a travel pallete.<br />
<br />
I got the Pro colour x4 compact (Quad) Ive been searching for what colours I wanted for ages and these were my favourite for the looks I go for!<br />

While on this this trip to Mac, I decided to get the brush that everyone talks about when the talk of eye makeup brushes, The 217 brush. I can completely confirm the hype is totally worth it, if your crap at blending colours in your crease then get this brush because it really does the work for you! It makes you look like you created an amazing skilled eye look when really you were just hoping for the best! <br />

<br />
The past Month has been a bit of a Blah, Meh, Ugh Month, so I went a little mad and splurged on some luxury makeup. I also bought some new skincare which I will also do a post on. I got these products from <a href="http://www.debenhams.ie/beauty">Debenhams</a> &<a href="http://www.feelunique.com/"> FeelUnique</a>. I do realise these products are on the pricey side, but when your have a crap week/month you deserve a pick me up and mine just so happens to be makeup!<br />
<br />
<br />
First up is An Estee Lauder Pure Colour Eyeshadow Duo in "Raisins".<br />
<br />
These Eyeshadow Duo's are so pretty, and the packaging is just simply amazing! The colours in the palette are really pigmented, The really are two shades made for each other. You can the colours together or each on their own and it would look stunning on the eye. I have blue eyes and it looks fab but I think these colours would really suit any eye colour. Since getting these and wearing them, I have gotten so many compliments, even from my boyfriend which is rare since he hasn't a clue about makeup.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Next two products are from Yves Saint Laurent, Two Lipsticks "Nude in Private & Coral Intuitive"<br />
<br />
First of all lets just take a moment to appreciate the fabulous packaging....ok moment over. I'm an absolute sucker when it comes to packaging and i think when your buying a luxury product, you feel so so much better when the product comes in pretty packaging! Anyways on too the lipsticks! Both of these Lipsticks are from The Rouge Volupte Shine Collection. This means that you get a gorgeous colour with a really moisturising texture. And depending how brave you are with the colour selection on offer, the colour pay off is great! I'm a lover of the nudes and these two lipsticks in particular are lovely on the lips!<br />
<br />
Nude In Private<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
And last but not least the Dior Skin Nude BB Creme in "002 Fair"<br />
<br />
This is really an impulse buy, I was watching the makeup Queen Lisa Eldridge in one of her youtube tutorials using this BB cream and I fell in love with it and everything Lisa had to say about it. So as you do I went straight online and bought it! This is such a lovely BB cream, and I really am delighted I got it. At first glance it looks like a squeeze tube but once you remove the lid there is a pump, so its super easy to get the exact amount of product that you want. There are three shades in the BB cream, Light, Fair and Medium.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
We all know that the French have their skin care perfected down to a tee. The skincare that you find in their pharmacies are better than our High end skincare. Bioderma is a Micellaire solution/water. This product has become very hyped over the last few years in the beauty blogger world, so here's my opinion on it!<br />
<br />
First of all with all skincare, some will love and some will hate. The most important thing about skincare is, it takes up to six weeks for you to notice a difference after introducing something new in your skincare routine. So don't expect any skincare product to work its magic straight away. Also with the process of it working its magic, some times the product can break you out because this is your skins way of getting used to something new, so its not always that the new product is bad & breaking you out.<br />
<br />
So on to Bioderma, I personally LOVE this stuff! It's quick and easy which is just my style. In the past my skincare has been rubbish. I just used makeup remover wipes to clean my face which is so so bad for your skin. Its only in recent years I have started to take care of my skin, YOU ONLY GET ONE SKIN! Bioderma is as quick as makeup remover wipes but its also really good for your skin. I use this before my cleanser to take the first layer of my makeup off, not that I layer on the makeup but a second cleanse with my cleanser will get rid of the rest. Bioderma is also amazing at taking off eye makeup, some people just use this as an eye makeup remover because it takes off waterproof makeup really well & fast. Its also gentle on the eye area.<br />
<br />
I use this on oval cotton pads and I just wipe my face all over, it takes off makeup effortlessly. If I come in late from a night out and I just want to jump straight to bed, I use this and I don't wake up with a pillow full of makeup and a head full of guilt & shame that I didn't clean my face before i went to bed! There is no real fragrance to this product, so its perfect for people who are sensitive to smells or fragranced products.<br />
<br />
I really cant fault this product at all, other than that its a bit difficult to get your hands on in Ireland. I order it off Ebay, but you can also get it on <a href="http://www.leguidesante.com/search.php?keywords=bioderma">Le Guide Sante</a>. You get 500ml of product in the bottle, which is quite a lot but it does go fast if you use it regularly which I do anyway! So go try this for yourself and you will see how amazing it is. Hope this review helped some of you that are thinking about getting Bioderma!<br />

<br />
I confess I am a hand cream collector, I have tonnes of hand creams some of which are good and bad. Unfortunately I also have extremely bad eczema on my hands, so I have to be very careful what I put on them. I have heard so many good reviews about the L'Occitane brand in general but in particular there hand creams, so I decided to have a nosey in the store and see what caught my eye!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixb4JZCAox1ahW3HuegY7Th6xWolPIEd-nYlSaQdQgRgme0Nxg23wo8xEv80UHJbTqfrSgHUEvxvV7vjuptmkiaT9Kj3qf7g5cEXak5QQOFXCCCNZEMwmGe6DHdZtwx95UqwDOuOKIK9vK/s1600/IMG_0271.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixb4JZCAox1ahW3HuegY7Th6xWolPIEd-nYlSaQdQgRgme0Nxg23wo8xEv80UHJbTqfrSgHUEvxvV7vjuptmkiaT9Kj3qf7g5cEXak5QQOFXCCCNZEMwmGe6DHdZtwx95UqwDOuOKIK9vK/s320/IMG_0271.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So surprise surprise, I bought 3 hand creams. When I went in they had an offer 3 for the price of 2, and they had them in cute packaging so I could not resist.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
First up the Hand Cream in "Rose Petals"<br />
<br />
The smell of this is just amazing, I could sniff my hands all day! This is a sweet smell but not a sickly sweet one. My other "Rose" scented things smell artificial, but this really does smell like real Rose Petals which is pretty darn good if you ask me. The hand cream itself is hands down just brilliant, It sinks in really fast which is a must for me as I am one of those people who hates waiting around for things to dry while you are sitting there very sticky. Its also not greasy on the hands which is an added bonus because some hand creams can have that awful greasy feeling ages after applying it. And the big factor to this hand cream is it doesn't irritate my ever so sensitive eczema!! Hooray A lovely hand cream that actually works and doesn't affect my hands in any way! I really cant say enough about this product, but with everything some will love it and some will hate it! And a big thing to remember about skin conditions especially eczema what works & doesn't irritate me might have the complete opposite affect with you!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The two other scents are "Mango Flower' and "Date Bouquet" which work the exact same as the Rose Petals one and have amazing scents also, it really does what it says on the tin where the scent is involved!<br />

<br />
Have you ever just went to a shopping centre for just one thing that you actually needed and then end up coming home with a couple of bags of stuff? Well that happened for me..Oops! So I thought I'd do a haul for you! I limited myself to two shops... Boots & The Body Shop. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is the newest mascara Maybelline has brought out, and of coarse me being an avid lover of there mascaras I decided to give it a go! The thing that has me excited about this product is the wand, it has the plastic bristles which I think gets right into my lashes without clumping them, some people don't like the plastic wands but I love them!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love the Revlon Lip butters so I decided to add this lovely fushia toned one to my lippy collection! These are so moisturising on the lips and the colour pay off is amazing! Cant wait to start wearing this one. </div>

I also bought another item from Revlon, The Super Lustrous Lipstick (Shade - Cherry Blossom 028)<br />
<br />
I really wanted some more bright colour lip products because I want to force myself to be a bit more brave when it comes to lipsticks as I tend to stick with my Nudes! Looking first glance at this lipstick you think its going to be a deep red but it swatches totally different, It comes out a bright pink! Its a lovely colour and I cant wait to start wearing this, such a good colour for Summer!<br />

Last up from Boots is a nail item, Models Own Nail Beads (Black)<br />
<br />
Nail art has become very big over the last few months! This product is designed to give your nails a 3D affect, you apply the beads onto wet nail polish and let it dry. On first glance I think this product is going to be a great dupe for the Ciate Caviar Limited Edition Manicure Set - Black Pearls which retails for €23.86 get it here on <a href="http://www.asos.com/Ciat/Ciat-Caviar-Limited-Edition-Manicure-Set---Black-Pearls/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2428023&cid=16070&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=Black+pearls">Asos</a> ! This models own version retails for €6.10 which I think is amazing if you don't have the money for the Ciate one! Models Own does different colours in the beads, on the top of my head I think there is green, pink, gold and yellow as well as the black, so you could match the beads to whatever nail polish you have around the house!<br />

Next on to the Body Shop buys-<br />
<br />
First up is two Lip Balms (Mango & Sweet Lemon Flavour)<br />
<br />
First up these smell FANTASTIC! You will have to stop yourself from eating them! I love lip balms and have never tried any from the body shop so I'm excited to see how these will turn out, the smell alone gets my vote already :)<br />

Next is the Coconut Hand Cleanse Gel<br />
<br />
I love keeping hand sanitizers in my bag at all times, I'm not a germaphobe but I just like to have it on me in case I feel the need to clean my hands and I cant get to a wash room! This stuff is amazing I opened it when I got home and when you apply it you cant smell anything, but when the sanitizer dries into your hands, this like most hand santizers dries very fast, It then smells like Coconuts! Its amazing, It leaves your hands so soft and smelling beautiful for ages. Very impressed with this product!<br />

Last up is my favourite thing to have on a treat night, Some bath bombs!<br />
<br />
Unfortunately these don't have names on them so I cant tell you which ones they are but they look pretty distinctive, So if you want to get your hands on some, just pop in to the store and I'm sure you will find them :) If you don't know what a bath bomb is, It's a round ball that when dropped into your bath filled with hot water it will "burst" open with cleansing agents, oils, colours and scents. These are super duper relaxing! Would really recommend for a chill night!<br />

<br />
In the last few months I have started to love something that I previously hated which is... drum roll please, LIPSTICKS! I have always been an avid lover all things got to do with lips, in my handbag at all times you will find at least 5 lip products at the bottom of it!<br />
<br />
I know I'm not the only girl who does this as I have seen many of my friends in the same position, I myself love reading posts about lip products so I decided I would do one, Hope you enjoy!<br />
<br />
So first up I'll show you my Lipsticks...<br />

These lipsticks in my opinion are amazing, I'm not the brave when it came to colours here I mainly stuck to nudes and nude pinks. Crème Cup and Angel show up similar in the picture but they do look slightly different on the lips. The only one that I didn't get on with is the last colour which is Myth, This is a famous nude lippy from Mac but just did not suit my complexion so I would recommend swatching and trying them out at your Mac counter. I should also add these lipsticks smell AMAZING! They have a light Vanilla scent but its not over powering! <br />

These lipsticks were raved about for ages online, so I picked up two from the collection. These are semi-matte and are very long lasting. The swatch different though as they actual colours don't look like what you originally think they will look like. These are slightly drying on the lips so if you suffer from very dry lips I wouldn't go for these! My favourite colour out of these two is 08 its so nice for a casual lip with a subtle bit of colour on the lips. These lippy's are also scented, them smell perfumey, but not in a bad way!<br />

These lipsticks are by far my favourite! I got these as a present from my parents when they came through duty free in the airport so I was delighted when I finally owned one of the most luxurious beauty products<i><b> </b></i>out there. The Rouge Coco Shine collection is so so nice. They are sheer and this picture does not do them justice, they look lovely on the lips and you can see a lovely colour on the lips once applied. The best thing about these lipsticks is, they are so moisturising! They feel super soft on the lips and have fairly good lasting power, but do need to be re-applied after eating & drinking which is to be expected since they are 'Shine' lipsticks! I would recommend these for a treat to yourself, they are on the pricey side but when you want to have a little treat day and own a very gorgeous product these are for you!<br />

<br />
First up is a Moisturizer<br />
<br />
Its the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Mat<br />
This helps with anti-shine and anti-enlarged pores. Its also Paraben Free.<br />
<br />
This moisturizer is amazing for people with oily to combo skin. It really does do what it says on the tin. I find that when it dries in your skin its so strange in a good way that it matafies your skin, but not so much that it dries your skin out. I found this looked amazing under my foundation and it kept shine down, no visable pores and its oil controlling power is amazing! Would highly recomend this to anyone who has oily skin and is looking for something to help with oil control and shine. <br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Next up is a blush by Benefit - Coralista<br />
<br />
This is my favourite blush all the time but I found myself picking this up all this month. As the name suggests is a coral shade, once applied to the cheeks its give a lovely coral shade with a hint of a shimmer. it also give a lovely highlight when in flash camera pictures! I think this would suit most skin tones. It also smells so tropical its divine!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Next is Balmi (Strawberry)<br />
<br />
When on one of my many stops in boots i was looking around my favourite aisle ~ The lip product aisle I spotted this little gem. Its a really good dupe for the EOS Balms but a quater of the price!<br />
I got the strawberry flavour and you could really eat it, it smells that amazing! Not only does it smell nice and look super cute, its an excellent lip balm, super duper moisturising and a long laster! LOVE THIS!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Next up is Garnier Eye Roll On<br />
<br />
I discovered this little beauty at the start of the month. I have never been in to eye care but i decided to give myself a kick and get into action. This is so soothing under the eyes! On the packaging its says that its for anti-bags and to stop the look of tiredness. It also helps with drainage because of the rolling motion. This is so simple to use, shake it and then just roll! the metal applicator at the top in the bit i personally love because its so cold, its soothes the eyes amazingly! From using this i have noticed a really big difference under the eyes, I'm really impressed with this product!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Sticking with the eye theme next is Estee Lauder Ideal Light Brush-On Illuminator<br />
<br />
This product is amazing for concealing under eyes! It hides bags and black circles while illuminating in the rights areas to make you look awake and heatlhy looking. I have got so many complimnets when wearing this! Will definitely be sticking with the product.<br />

<br />
<br />
Last but not least a haircare product, Aussie 3 Minute Miracle (Colour) Deep Treatment.<br />
<br />
This is a deep treatmnet conditioner for the hair. I love using this when my hair is in a good need of a boost! I leave this in for 3 minutes before washing out and my hair once dried is so soft and so healthy looking. As this is for coloured hair it also helps with the up keep of your coloured hair because coloured hair needs that extra bit of nourishmnet which is a great help! They also do one for non coloured hair! As if I need another reason to love this product but the bottle is super handy in the shower as the product comes out from the bottom once squeezed!<br />

This amazing palette has been my life saver, before buying this I wasn't into eyeshadows so instead of going and buying loads for my makeup collection, I went with this piece. Its perfect as it will create so many looks as you can mix and match all of them.<br />
<br />
As the title suggests it is a 'Naked' palette so it has a lot of neutral and brown colours with also a few blacks, this is great for creating the basic smokey eye to the more creative and intense going out clubbing eye look, its honestly so versatile! When going to college or going out with friends this is the one thing I grab to make my everyday/going out make up more exciting and fun. <br />
<br />
There are 12 shades in this palette these include:<br />
Virgin<br />
Sin<br />
Naked<br />
Sidecar<br />
Buck<br />
Half Baked<br />
Smog<br />
Darkhorse<br />
Toasted<br />
Hustle<br />
Creep<br />
Gunmetal<br />
<br />
They range from shimmer to matte eye shawdow. When purchasing mine, it came with the Urban Decay Shadow Brush and the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion. <br />
<br />
In the picture below you can see how many ways to mix and match these colours and still never have "boring' eye make up. I would highly recommend this eyeshadow pallete as its really pigmneted & really easy to work with. It also comes in such a handy case that you can put in your makeup bag!<br />
