Lush

Lush is a mecca for cosmetics lovers.  Their window displays, friendly atmosphere and beautiful scents are incredibly alluring and can’t be ignored.  I love the brand because the cosmetics are all fresh and hand-made but most importantly they are cruelty free.  Lush is fighting the good fight against animal testing. On Wednesday evening I met […]

Dublin Comic Con 2015

For the first time, this year I attended the Dublin Comic Con.  I have wanted to go before but for one reason or another it had never worked out.  I had a number of costumes for consideration but as we were sitting watching Bojack Horseman one evening we decided it would be funny to go […]

Tiger Blanchardstown

This week for my Do Something Sunday post I’m recommending a trip to the cinema to see Disney Pixar’s new  film Inside Out.  As today is so wet and miserable it is a great way to spend the afternoon. On Thursday I was treated to a showing by the lovely Rory of Eat Drink Run […]

The Pippa Palette from Blank Canvas Cosmetics

It is no secret that I love Blank Canvas Cosmetics.  In fact I’d go as far to say I’m addicted to their products.  I have never tried anything that I haven’t loved and the Pippa palette is no different. Although my adoration for the brand is unwavering, I have to be honest and say I […]

Penneys Haul

Last week when I rushed into Penneys to buy some bits for my Bloomsday costume (read about it here), I also purchased a few other goodies.  Here’s a quick haul of my purchases. My favourite colour for clothing is black.  In fact until recently I didn’t wear any other colour of clothing.  Even though I […]

Soap and Glory’s Kick Ass Concealer

I have the worst dark circles under my eyes which aren’t helped by my deep set eyes and I’m completely paranoid about them.  I am constantly on the search for the best concealer to camouflage them.  Over the last year I have tried so many but last week I purchased Soap and Glory’s Kick Ass […]
