Wrap It Up

 

 

 

I'm the type of girl who loves changing nail colour everyday. I have never invested in nail wraps myself so was very excited when I recently received them from the lovely Ciara Cummins at Slatterys Communications. 

The first thing I noticed was the quality of the wraps. The colours used and the finish of the design gave them an expensive look unlike some of the other nail wraps I have seen. Having never used nail wraps before it took a while to get the hang of applying them. The step by step leaflet enclosed in the pack helped, but they took far longer to apply then the recommended 5 minutes! 

There are 20 wraps in the pack which allows you to do every nail twice! Alternatively, to make the pack last longer, you can select a few nails to wrap and paint the others with nail varnish! 

Unfortunately, the sizes of the wraps are far too big for my nails! I had to use the smallest size wrap on my pinky, ring and index fingers. The middle size overlapped the nail on my middle finger. The large size fit my thumb properly which meant I was left with a lot of spare middle sized wraps. However, I can always use theses again by painting my nails with nail varnish and apply the wraps to my middle finger as a statement nail. 

I found that the wraps didn't apply smoothly and left a lot of creases. These weren't too noticeable to the naked eye but being a perfectionist I hate knowing they are there! I was also disappointed to notice them chipping around the edges after only one day of wear. 

All in all I liked these nail wraps and received loads and loads of compliments about them. They would make a great present or Christmas stocking filler but are definitely a novelty item. 

Personally would I buy them again?... Probably not. 

Little Mix Nail Wraps €6.99 available at Boots, ASOS (€8.00) and selected pharmacies. 

Have a great weekend !

On Sunday my boyfriend and I visited Malahide castle and gardens in Malahide (North Dublin, Ireland). I absolutely love it there it's so beautiful and picturesque from the castle to the graveyard to the gardens! We had a deeelish brunch in Avoca café followed by takeaway coffees and a walk around the grounds. 

The details to my outfit are above, although, I definitely need to swap my leather jacket for my winter coat, it's freezing out! 

Any questions? Please comment or mail me at moustachemouth90@gmail.com

Lots of Love,

Welcome To The Family Michael x

I had been searching and searching every watch shop (virtually and physically) to find the perfect watch. I got the idea that I wanted to get something a bit different and as one of my favourite colours is navy and I'm constantly in navy jeans I decided I wanted to get a gold watch with a navy face. You can imagine how much more difficult my quest for the perfect watch became! 

Just as I thought it was impossible I found this beauty on the Michael Kors American website only to find out they don't deliver to Ireland! Heartbroken I took it in my stride to look for it in every shop I passed it was becoming a habit ... bordering on an obsession ... 

Until one wonderful day when I was shopping in Dundrum Town Centre. I had heard of the opening of the new Michael Kors shop (which is gorgeous by the way) and wanted to see it for myself. I went in to have a little look around and there was the watch, shining at me, in all it's glory.

I'm pretty sure it spoke to me... The following events that took place are a blur. Next thing I know I'm standing outside the shop with the watch on my arm, beaming from ear to ear. 

 

 

Michael Kors Watch €226

Hope you are all enjoying the weekend.

Beauty Buzz

 

Lately I've seen and heard so much buzz surrounding Garnier's newest beauty product, 5 second perfect blur, so I decided to pick it up and try it out for myself.

 

Primer is a beauty product I have sadly neglected over the years always buying different brands, using them for a week and then finding them in the back of my makeup drawer a year later! I know this primer won't suffer the same fate as those gone before it. I've been using it for two weeks now and can honestly say I'm hooked!

 

 

 

Firstly I was delighted by the competitive price point of the product at around €16-€17 as I find it hard to spend top dolla' on products I might not use. Applied after your daily moisturizer, the pink velvety cream inside glides effortlessly onto the face reducing the appearance of pores, blemishes (to an extent), shine and even wrinkles. Just when you thought it couldn't get any better it works as a fantastic base for foundation apply this in the morning and it will lock foundation in place from day to night with no formation of cracks or blotches in your makeup. I usually apply a sweep of powder over the primer/foundation to set it. 

I can see myself using every drop of this product and purchasing it again and again. I think it should be a staple in every girls makeup bag. 

Check out my mini review on it in the latest copy of U magazine out now.

 

 

If any of you guys are using this primer I would love to hear your reviews!

As always I hope you all have a great week!
