How To Style The Pyjama Top

Hi My Loves,

So I have been obsessing over the pyjama top trend, some may have other opinions on it but me I loooooove it.

Now It took me awhile to actually fall in love with it, at first it was a strong catwalk trend but it didn't have me convinced. It was only when  I seen the celeb's stepping out in the street style look. I was in love.

The Shirt , Its a classy look which you can wear to work paired with a skirt, trousers etc or you can add that street style to your look by pairing it with some casual pieces which I have done and is my favorite way to wear this piece.

So I went for a nude colored shirt with black trimming, and its very structured and flattering piece. The sleeves are three quarter length which I like and it is true to size, I'm wearing size 6 and it fits perfectly. Awwwh I Love it, its so pretty.

I knew once I seen the black trimming I wanted to pair it with black jeans. Yup as you can see below I bought my jeans without holes, just grab a pair of scissors and be scissor happy and to give it that bit more of an edge, rip those babies until you feel like you can see enough leg.

Jewelry, again to give it that street style look I just went for a black choker, another favorite trend of mine lately.

Footwear, one word, BOOTS, who doesn't love a good pair of boots, me Il wear them all year round once I pair them with the right outfit. Here I went for a black patent boots, again I feel like it gives that something extra to the outfit and just made it complete.

Don't get me wrong, the amount of times I was asked, Are you wearing your Pyjama's? or Did you fall because you have a few holes in your jeans??. Ignore them once you can pull off that look and feel confident girl you own it.

Everything I'm Wearing you can purchase HERE.

Girls its now acceptable to go out in your pj's whooowho, ha just not your fluffy ones or the bottoms. Haha

Until next time my loves,

SOSU Lashes

Hi My Loves,

Ok.. Ok.. I know I done a blog post a few weeks back on the Instant effects instant lash and how you wont need lashes again and I still stand by that. Its an amazing product and my lashes are amazing from using it everyday.

But... When I seen the SOSU Lashes and that packaging I knew I had to have them, yes I am that girl who is a sucker for cute packaging even if the product is crap I will still buy it. The SOSU lashes that are inside the pretty box are without doubt the best lashes I have ever put near my eyes. I knew that if the lashes are as amazing as the contour kit I would love them.

I bought the SOSU lash in Sara on Thursday and I wore it for three days, three days guys, a €5.95 lash and I know for a fact I will get another three days out of it.

Just look at how pretty and natural they are...

The lashes themselves are Human Hair Lashes which consist of x8 styles to choose from for just €5.95, they are the ones in the black pretty boxes, I love them that much I went and bought 6 styles for New York.

Then you have the White boxes which are even prettier again they are the luxury 3D silk lashes which can be used up to 20 times, 20 times that's crazy and are priced at €19.95. They will def be my next purchase, I have to have them in my life.

The application is so easy, I cant even believe it, the lash has an invisible band which is amazing, you don't even need to wear liner, which for those of you who struggle with liner will love. They are so light weight and a perfect fit for your eyes, well they were for mine, there was no need to even trim the lash it fit on so neatly and looked beautiful. There is no glue with the lashes, so I use the Duo Adhesive which I think is the best, I let the glue sit on the lash for maybe 30 seconds until its tacky and then apply it to my own lashes, make sure when applying any lashes that you let the glue get tacky before applying, it makes the lash go on more easily.

Guys, if you are a lover of lashes please go and try the SOSU lashes, they are the best lashes I have ever tried and are so natural,beautiful and very reasonably price considering how many times you can reuse them.

Head over to www.sosueme.ie to check out all the other styles.

If your from Dundalk guys, head to Kieran Avenue Pharmacy they have a good selection of the Natural hair lashes and if you want the 3D Silk Lashes you can purchas them in Castletown Pharmacy.

If you do go out and grab yourself a pair, make sure you take a selfie and tag me in the picture.

Happy lashes my loves,

Say goodbye Goodbye to Fake Lashes and Hello to Instant Effects Instant Lash

Hi My Loves,

Guys if you are like me and suffer with the worst eyelashes going, have a boyfriend who has the eyelashes every woman would die for and you cant put eyelashes on to save your life. Then you may want to check this product out, its called Instant effects instant lash volumiser.

So "Instant Effects Instant Lash Volumiser instantly increases lash volume by up to 20%, and regular use will see lashes grow stronger, longer and fuller."

"The Lash Volumiser instantly gives you fuller looking, volumised lashes in just 2 minutes. It uses Oxygen transfer technology to instantly plump up lashes without damaging the lash in any way. Use it every day, and in just two weeks lash thickness grows by up to 40% and lash length improves by up to 20% giving you gorgeous natural lashes."
Now when I hear of products that claim to do all these magical things, I'm like eh yeah good one, I have fallen for this way too many times.

But when I received this product, I thought I may as well give it a try and maybe I will have beaut eyelashes like your man.

So I took on the two week challenge, I applied it everyday for two weeks before I applied my mascara and before I went to bed to try and get the most of the product.

The consistency of the product is a clear  formula, you apply it from the root of the eyelash to the end, making sure each one is coated. I done this for two week straight and maybe a little longer.(oops)

By the end of the two weeks, my eyelashes have gotten so much stronger, longer and fuller. When I put my mascara on I cant believe the difference, you will see in the picture below, my lashes have transformed. Its ridiculous and by using a good mascara, which you will need to go along with this product, it will make them even more amazing, which I have done to show you the true difference.

Top is after

 Bottom is before

The bottom picture is my before picture, my lashes are terrible and I have only used a Revlon mascara, in my after picture I have used the Instant Lash for two weeks and just before the picture and used Charlotte Tilbury Mascara, which also adds length and volume..

This product gets a 9/10 for me, the only thing that kicks off a point is, after you apply the product and put your mascara on, your lashes be that little bit more wet and take that wee bit longer to dry. But other then that, I am a lover of Instant Effects.

Definitely want to try the Instant Effects Lip plumper next, if its anything like the lash product, I will have juicy full lips. That makes me excited.

If you want eyelashes that will make men or woman swoon then give the  Instant effect Instant Lash a go, you will definitely see a difference and wont be disappointed.

If you are interested in giving the product a go, you can purchase it HERE its €29.99.

Oh and if you want an amazing mascara that will add that extra bit more, then get the Charlotte Tilbury Legendary lash and use it with the Instant effects and you will be kissing fake lashes goodbye.

Guys if you have tried this product or any of the other Instant Effect Products let me know what you think and how you got on.

Talk soon,

Claire xxxxx

Lazy Weekend's

Hey My Beautiful Ladies,

I hope you all had an amazing weekend, me well, I had a lazy weekend, sometimes its all you want after a long week at work.

Saturday I went for a stroll with the boy, to me that's my perfect Saturday. (Soppy I know)

Sunday we were even more lazy and lay in bed watching Stranger Things on Netflix, Guys have you watched it yet?? if not do, its sooooo good.

But even though your not doing anything you still want to make an effort and look good. I still get up and put my face on and get all dressed up. Just call me a weirdo but it makes me feel gooood :).

I have been really loving the dress and boot combo and I really wanted to give it a try, been a short ass I be scared to try these kind of trends. But you never know until you try.

So I went  out and got myself a few bits to put together to see if I could pull it off and to be honest I kinda like it.

So I decided to go with a Midi Denim Dungaree type Dress which I purchased in Penney's/ Primark, super cute. I paired it with a long sleeve khaki low cut top which I purchased in H & M HERE and brown ankle boots again I bought them in Penney's/ Primark. Finally I added the cutest lil black choker which I got in River island HERE. I felt like it added a lil something.

I loved this lil outfit definitly can see me wearing this throughout the winter months also. LOVE IT.

Like my lazy weekend, I'm having a lazy night before another long day tomorrow. Chat soon my loves.

"The Cleanse off Mitt"

Hi My Loves,

Its been awhile, (sad face) but I have been super busy trying out new products for you, one of which i'm going to tell you about now.

Every woman hates when it comes to that time of evening and you have the chore of taking off your face paint, some people like a quick wash and use the hated baby wipes (please dont, they are super bad for skin), if your one of those I have the perfect thing for you. "The Cleanse off mitt".

I'm sure you have all heard about it by now, but if you haven't The "Cleanse off Mitt" is a microfiber mitt designed to remove makeup without the need to use a cleanser all you have to do is simply add warm water and wipe clean.

Is it as simple as it sounds, yea it is. You simply place your hand inside the mitt, place it under the warm water and start taking that daily grime off yo face.
For those of you who like a quick clean and use wipes, this is perfect for you.

Me, well I'm the one who wont go to bed unless my skin is squeaky clean.So I use my Liz Earle Hot cloth Cleanser as always at night and I use " The Cleanse Off Mitt" as my muslin cloth and to be honest its amazing to use this way, after using the cleanser I always go in with the Nip Fab Exfoliating pads to get rid of anything I missed. Using the Cleanse Off Mitt with The Liz Earle Cleanser I dont need to use them, my skin is so fresh and clean, it feels amazing and soft.

           

The Cleanse off Mitt is a 10/10 for me when using the cleanser with it. Its far better than using the muslin cloths I feel like its more sensitive to the skin.

Guys stop using those horrible wipes and go buy "The Cleanse off Mitt" your skin will thank you for not using those bad boys anymore.

If your in Dundalk and want to purchase one get you lil butt into Joanne Woods Beauty Specialist pricing at €5.

Until next time,

Claire xxxxxxx

Budget Buy: Flormar Double Radiance Primer

Hi My Loves,


Just popping on to share with you my new found love that I picked up on Saturday.

Ok so as you know I have oily skin, but it doesn't stop me from wanting that glow under my foundation to give my skin some life, a full matte face can make your skin look dull and who wants that?? Not me anyway.

I love my M.A.C strobe cream and my Charlotte Tilbury Wonder glow but I have found a product that isn't only waaaaay cheaper but so much more beautiful than the two expensive lads I just mentioned. I hate paying way over the odds for something when you can get just as good or in this case better for cheaper.

My must have budget buy for you guys is the Flormar Double Radiance Primer which retails at €12.50.

This beauty can be used as a primer all over the skin or as a highlighter.

The one thing that will draw you to this product is the colouring,  its a beautiful Champagne colour that is to die for when applied to the skin, its makes your skin look radiant and sexy as hell.

The packaging is nothing outstanding but who cares when the product inside is amazing. It comes in 30ml and with a pump.

The formula is very liquidy and one pump goes a long way and it glides on the skin for a long wearing look, can be worn under foundation, on the highest points of the face as a highlighter or alone.

The double radiance primer had an amazing bright effect when I applied it to my skin which highlights your complexion and makes you glow in every light.

Just look at that glow, I feel like crying its that pretty.

 Lets take a moment to appreciate that highlight.

Another bonus is that the product contains an SPF 10, if any of you lucky ducks are heading to the sun, this is gorgeous over tanned skin.

I have been using it everyday since Saturday, I know its not a long time but it is very similar to the Charlotte Tilbury Wonder Glow which I love and have been using for months. But its now going to the back of the drawer because this baby is taking its place.

I applied one pump all over my face using the M.A.C 188 stippling brush and my skin was glowing, as soon as I started to apply it, I love it. It glided on to the skin and the brightening effect it gave was heart stopping and I think a tear formed in my eye.

I also applied some of the primer/ highlighter on my décolleté, shoulders and down the center of my legs cause I like my Body to gloooow babay.

I rate this product 10/10, wasn't happy about the packaging, I'm a sucker for nice packaging ha, but the the product inside takes away from that. Its beautiful guys I'm obsessed and in shock at how amazing this product actually is.

This product can be bought here www.carapharmacy.ie or if your from Dundalk pop into Kieran Avenue Pharmacy on the Avenue Road that's where I purchased mine and the girls are lovely. 

This product is 100% worth the €12.50.

If your heading out over the weekend definitely pick it up.

Until next time,

Claire xxxx

Flawless Wonder Brush The Truth

My Loves,

So if you follow me on Snap, Facebook or Insta you will know that I purchased the Flawless Wonder brush a few weeks  back.  I heard mixed reviews on it but I wanted to try it out for myself.

Now I'm not going to jump into this review and say oh I love this brush,because to be honest, when I first used it I absolutely hated the brush. I used it with the Inglot HD foundation which is a liquid formula and this brush made my makeup look streaky and not flawless. I was so disappointed. I know the brush wasn't that expensive but I wanted to love it.

Heading out one night, I decided to use shade 4 from the SoSu Contour palette as my foundation. If you know this palette, you will know that this is a thick creamed foundation and is full coverage. Thinking what brush will I will use, because I have that many I could open up my own brush shop. I decided to give the Flawless Wonder brush one last chance just to be sure.

Oh sweet baby Jesus....

Let me just say, the brush lived up to its name, my makeup was "Flawless" I couldn't believe it, I was going to get rid of the brush haha. Super happy that night I was. There was no streaks, my foundation stayed full coverage and it was applied in seconds. I was so confused because it was awful the first time I used it. So note to self dont use liquid foundation with this brush.

So the brush is described as an "Oval shaped brush, with a very light handle. Through its velvet like bristles and densely packed ultra-fine fibers, this amazing brush is made to ensure an airbrushed effect, with an immaculate streak-free touch."

If your using a liquid foundation I wouldn't agree with the description. Id stay clear of this brush because its not going to do anything for you and I wouldn't use it for your contour either.

But the description is all true if your using a thick full coverage foundation like the shade 4 in the SuSu Contour kit or the Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer, this brush is amazing. Your skin will be flawless. I love it. 

If your a girl who loves and uses a heavy foundation go and buy this brush because you will love it.

So happy I gave it another chance.

Lots of love

The amazing Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish

Hey My Loves,

Do you absolutely hate makeup wipes as much as me, they make my skin break out, their harsh on the skin, pull at your skin, I hate every lil thing about them. So I hate to take my makeup off with them before I go in with a cleanser.

I needed a good night time cleanser, one that would get all that war paint off my face.  I wanted one that would melt the makeup off and give my skin a good seeing to and leave it squeaky clean.

I picked up Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser, I heard so many amazing things about it.

So Liz Earle hot cloth cleanser is rated one of the top cleansers by so many loved beauty gurus. It contains all natural active ingredients such as coca butter, rosemary, chamomile and eucalyptus. All the amazing natural ingredients that will enrich your skin and make it look beautiful, sorry even more beautiful. The enriched cream gets rid of the daily grime and even gets rid of the non moving mascara that you can never get off.

So there is two steps with this cleanser:

Step 1 - Cleanse - I use about one or two pumps of the cleanser and I massage it onto my dry skin, using circular movements. I work from the center of my face outwards and finish up on the eyes. No joke, that massacra that you can never get off even after using every product possible, this beaut will remove it.
When working it into your skin you can see the makeup breaking down and really melting away. I get so much satisfaction out of this haha I have no idea why, bit of a weirdo.

Step 2 - Polish - Rinse the pure muslin cloth or a face towel under hot water and wring it out before you gently polish the cream off the skin. I do this in sections, so I do the left side, when done I rinse the cloth again and do the right side, again I rinse the cloth and do my forehead, I rinse the cloth once again and I finish off with the eyes. Giving the cloth one more rinse I work it over my skin again. Once finished, I finish my cleansing process by splashing cold water on my face to help close the pores.

This is without hesitation the best god damn night cleanser I have ever used, it takes the day completely off and leaves your skin feeling and looking amazing .I'm in love with this cleanser, it gets rid of everything and your skin feels like new after using it.

My skin is oily and sensitive and when I use certain skincare products my skin breaks out so bad and they leave it extra oily. This cleanser I feel has helped my skin a lot. It didn't make me break out and my oiliness has calmed down and my makeup stays in place a lot longer. Maybe its due to this cleanser because since I started using it at night I have notice a massive difference in my skin.

(small side note excuse my hair in the above pic, I need it done badly. SARAH come to my rescue haha...)

I bought my Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish in Boots www.boots.ie, It came in a pack, in it was the cleanse & polish and two muslin cloths. It priced at €20.00.

In my opinion its worth way more then €20 because its amazing and kind to all skin types.

Guys if your on a hunt for an amazing night time cleanser give it a try, you wont regret it.

Happy Cleansing.

Love Claire xxxxx

My love for MAC Fix +

 Hi My Loves,

MAC Fix +....

Guys its annoys me when I hear people give out about this product, the reason they are doing so is because you are using it all wrong. A lot of you think this product is a setting spray and that it will hold your makeup in place and make it last.

WRONG.......

MAC Fix + is a lightweight water mist fixing spray, its is designed to take the powdered, cakey look off your makeup. You hold the Fix + away from the face and spritz the life of it all over that baby and your makeup will look more refreshed and less cakey.

Now I have to say this product is one of my all time favorites from MAC cosmetics, its a product that can be used for many different aspects off making your face look soooooo pretty.

How I use this baby:

Hydrating the face - I spray nearly the whole bottle (slight exaggeration) all over my face before I put my foundation on. I just feel like it helps hydrate the skin more after washing it and helps it blend the foundation out way better two, its creates an even surface.

Also a handy product when in the sun or on a plane to put some hydration back into the skin, as we all know they can dry your skin out pretty quick. A quick spray can make it come back to life.

Fixing Mo Face - After I have all my face products on, I like to again spray the bottle of it on my face ha.. It fixes the makeup and helps settle the powder on the skin, it takes the cakey/ powder look of the face and gives your skin a bit more life.

Highlighter - I cannot put highlighter on my face without this product. You want that highlighter to be on FLEEK girl, spray that face and then apply your highlighter on top, you will be the Queen of bling and no matter what way you turn, that highlighter will be bouncing off everybody.

Top With Fix +
Bottom Without
Inglot Sparkling Dust in 03

Pigments/ Glitter/ Eyeshadow - Applying pigments, Glitter or want to make your eyeshadow stand out that lil bit more spray the fix + on your brush and dip it into that Pigment, glitter or eyeshadow and watch it come alive, WOW baby WOW.

Top With Fix +
Bottom Without
Urban Decay Alice through the looking glass palette (Colour Cake)

You can see that there is more pigmentation and the colour pay off is way better when you use the Fix +.

Seriously Fix + is hands down one of MAC's best products and its a must have in my makeup bag, I cannot do my face without it.

If you haven't tried it go on here www.brownthomas.com and buy it or just get the sample bottle, you wont regret it.

100ml bottle prices at €21.00
Travel sizes prices at €10.00

Hope you guys are out enjoying the sunshine and remember to protect your skin.
Talk soon.

Bellamianta Spray Tan really is luxury tanning

I have fallen in love....

Oh my god guys seriously ok... lets just take a moment and give thanks to those that created Bellamianta Tan... I bloody love you.

If you read my last blog post on "How to get the perfect spray tan", you will know that I got myself sprayed with the beautiful Joanne Woods in Joanne Woods Beauty Specialist last Wednesday.

I have seen everyone talk about the Bellamianta Mousse but I have never heard anyone talk about the spray tan. Well all I can say is OH MY GOD. Its amazing.

When I got sprayed and I seen it going on, it instantly looked beautiful, its not orange at all its a gorgeous golden tan. It gives your skin life and it doesn't smell like nasty tan usually does, oh and another great thing is it didn't even destroy my bed sheets.. Bonus brownie points.

Got  home after getting the tan done, sat down had a cup of tea, an owl chat with the mother and flick through the phone and two hours had past, I was like jaysus I must go look in the mirror and see what the tan is like, walked up stairs looked in the mirror and I thought I was after coming back from two months in the sun. I was like eeeehhhh what the hell, it was amazing but I was afraid to see what it would look like after been on all night.

Im going to insert some pictures, I tried to get the best natural pictures I could without using filters so you could see the real tan.

Before I got Spray tan done and 2 hours after getting it done

Morning came and I got out of bed, I had an early start as I had a wedding, again looked in the mirror (Im not vain I swear) I looked like I was after spending the year in the sun haha but it was soooo natural looking it was crazy. I was petrified getting into the shower in case it would all wash off. It always happens to me when I get a spray tan.

It didn't though, it was the most beautiful natural looking golden tan. I was looooooooving life. At that stage I was a bit vain because I couldn't stop looking in the mirror, the tan was ridiculous, loved it. I had so many people ask me that day about what tan I was wearing and if I was on holidays.

Day 1 shower 1 Even in extremely bad lighting in a car and a flash the tan looks so natural

  

Day 2 shower 2 beaming sunlight (in Ireland I know what the heck) amazing tan

Day 4 shower 4 still going strong

Day 5 shower 5  Amazing

Day 7 shower 7 what a tan

I have had this tan on now for the past seven days, I know its crazy, I never thought it would last three never mind seven. I have had six showers since getting it done and it seems it only washes off what needs to come off. 

Now when I'm in the shower I dont use shower gel or any kind of shower wash as that will disrupt the tan.
When I get out I gently tap myself dry, dont rub your skin with a towel ever.
 I also give my skin a good going over with a body moisturiser, this will keep your skin hydrated even though the Bellamianta Tan is injected with Hyaluronic acid, a super moistureiser which provides moisture to the skin, this is one of the main reasons it has a great lasting power. But I still love to use the Cocoa brown Chocolate whip as it helps extend the life of your tan and ensures and even fade and I have to say it does exactly what it says on the bottle.

Im not going to tell you that it will last seven days on everybody, you have to look after the tan and thats what I did and that is why it lasted so long. So try and do what I did above and it will maintain the tan as long as you do it daily.

Girls & Guys Im not joking when I say this is the best tan I have ever put on my body and I am a major tan lover. This tan is like no other and the best thing about it, is its Irish which makes it even better.

I advise you all to give it a try, especially the spray tan its incredible, I have bought the mousse so I'm super excited to try that out.

For any of my fellow Dundalk girls or boys, Joanne Woods, in Joanne Woods Beauty Specialist does the spray and thats were I got mine done, she is amazing and a beauty seriously give her a shout and get sprayed or even buy the mousse or the lotion. I promise you wont regret it.

Happy Tanning my loves.

Love Claire xxxx
