Busy weekendzz!

Hellllllooo guys!
I have had the most JAM-PACKED weekend of my life in a long time! It's now Sunday and I'm in come down mode and feel so zonked out! (Apologies if zonked isn't even a real word!)

On Friday my best friend and I went to Tennents Vital, a 3 day festival that takes place in Belfast at Boucher Road playing fields! The line up was Tommy Trash, Naughty Boy, Rudimental, Tinie Tempah and the headliner was Avicii!

It was a great night and all the acts were AMAZING! But Tinie Tempah was definitely my highlight, the man is beautiful! 

I didn't get a full photo of my outfit, but I wore a baseball top from h&m, high waisted shorts from Primark, suspender tights by Henry Holland (which laddered before I left the house TYPICAL!) and black and purple nike hightops.. Which are now brown from the mud.. Lovely ;-)

Here's a few snaps from Friday!  


On Saturday my mum and I were at a wedding of one of her colleagues! The wedding took place in St Macarten's Cathedral in Monaghan, and it was a beautiful setting for the wedding! The sun was shining and the bride looked GORGEOUS! 

I did my makeup myself, and I'm wearing MAC's Magenta Liner on my lips and Eylure's 400 lashes! I love over the top lashes! I have tiny eyelids so it's the only thing that adds definition to myself! I got my hair done by my hairdresser, she used GHD's and lots of hairspray to get the waves into my hair! And if anyone's noticed, I'm going blonde! I got loads of blonde in on Friday morning, and will be continuing to go this direction.. blondes DO have more fun! ;-)


My mums dress was from Debut in Debenhams and I think she looks gorgeous! She's my best friend and I love to see her looking gorgeous.. She even wore false eyelashes for the first time! Proud!!

My dress is from the Billie and Blossom range in Dorothy Perkins! I love the bright orange colour! The belt is from Dorothy Perkins, the shoes from Topshop, handbag from New Look and my necklace is from a discount jewellery store in Belfast called Muse! 

It was a lovely day and it was so good to be part of the wedding! The bride and groom looked so happy and in love!! Weddings always make me emotional, I cried at the bride walking up the aisle! 

I've had a busy weekend and have never been so glad to spend a whole day in bed today! It's my friends 21st birthday on Monday so more partying is to come!! 

Hope you enjoyed this more personal post!! 
Talk soon darlings!

High Street Beauty Purchases!

Hello everyone! It's been 2 months and I seriously apologise for that.. I've had SO much going on and my life has been chockablock with changes, from work to other more serious things! But I'm back and hopefully here to stay :-)

I've got myself a job and been treating myself to a few little splurges with my new wages... Haven't been going all out because saving for Manchester is my number one priority.. I need money for PARTYING! 

Real Techniques Blush Brush & Powder Brush






I've been looking for these babies for a while, but everytime I go to Superdrug they've sold out! I found them in a local chemist and they were £1 than in Boots or Superdrug! Not much but every little makes a difference!













I also picked up a new MUA bronzer in Shade 1! This is my everyday bronzer and it's so cheap! Can't say no to something thats £1!!
Also grabbed a MUA Cream Blush in the shade 'Lush'.. It's a gorgeous barbie pink! Swatches further below!






L-R - Cream Blush in 'Sneakpeek' & Lipstick in 'Bombshell'
On a little trip with my bestie to Belfast I picked up some Topshop Lipstick and another Cream Blush in the sale! I know these babies were a limited edition collection at the beginning of their lives! The Lipstick was £9 originally and the Blush was £10 but I got these both for £3 each! The Lipstick is super barbie pink and I love it! The blush is a corally shade of pink and lovely as well! They also had the blush in an orange shade and a orange lipgloss! Worth looking out for if your in Topshop, bargains are hiding in the sale section somewhere! Swatches below!




 I noticed the Kate Moss Lasting Finish Range for Rimmel was on offer at £3.99 on a recent trip to Superdrug so decided to pick up my first lipstick! This has been the hardest colour to photograph! Its a vivid orangey red but comes out pink on camera! It's Shade 22!
Theres a poor attempt at a swatch below!

It's been a busy few months but I'm in the mood again to get my blogging hat on!

Talk soon lovelies!
