| My Christmas / New Years in Photos |

My Christmas outfit and make up
Outfit - Jumper (H&M in New York) $29.95
Wet Look Leggings (Strawberry in New York) $12.95
Boots (www.iclothing.ie) €36.00
 
Make Up - MAC Studio Fix Fluid foundation
Bourjois Bio-Detox Organic concealer
MAC Creme Cup
MAC Naked Lunch
Benefit BadGal Lash
Went for a pretty natural look with the make up
 
 
 
 
 
Casual oufit that I wore New Years Eve, Eve and my New Years nails
Outfit - I loved my jumper so much that I just had to wash it quick and wear it again and I just wore my Pennys/Primark jeggings (€9.00) and just a Pennys/Primark scarf (€4.00)
Such a plain and casual oufit but I was just having a lazy day!
 
Nails - No7 Damson Dream
 
 
My boyfriend had lit candles in his bedroom for when I arrived at his house (I think that was him being romantic), he knows I love candles.




My perfumes that I bought in Sepohora in New York. (Just thought I would add these in here)  I have never owned either of these perfumes before but they were both on my wishlist so I bought 'Ralph Lauren Pony Collection #2' in the 30ml bottle and then 'Vera Wang Lovestruck in the rollerball pen, handy for my handbag.          

 
Some of my Christmas presents
-Pilgrim jewellery (heart earrings with matching bracelet)
-OPI NYC Ballet mini nail varnish set
-No7 make up set (I was bought some nail varnish's as a gift and this came free). It contained a full size lipstick, eye shadow, eye liner and mini mascara.
-PIXY cosmetics gift set (2 bath bombs, soap and a honey balm)

 
Some more of my Christmas presents.
A gorgeous bag full of Soap and Glory products. I love the body scrub and cleanser and I have yet to try a few of the other products that I have never used before. Santy also put this gorgeous Essence Gingerbread Chai Latte hand balm in my stocking, very festive and smells yummy too!
 
So thats just a few pictures from my Christmas/New Years including a few of the presents I received. I love all of my presents and I am so grateful for them all! I know this post is a bit late up but better late then never I suppose.

New York, in brief.

I apologise for the lack of posts recently, if you read my blog you probably would of seen that I was going to New York and thats exactly where I was and it is also the reason for my lack of posts. Just wanted to clear that up for you guys :)

New York, where do I start? It was simply AMAZING. From shopping in 'Macy's', dining in 'Hard Rock Cafe' and visiting the '9/11 memorial' it was all such a great experience that I will NEVER forget!

This post is mainly just going to be several of my favourite photos from my trip but there will be several posts to follow soon showing you guys some of my favourite new purchases and I also would like to do a post entirely on the '9/11 memorial' as that is something I will never forget and for anyone visiting New York, in my opinion, it is a place you just have to visit, its just beautiful!

So enough of the talking for now and here are the photos..

So there is just a few of the pictures from my trip to 'The Big Apple' . Thats kind of just a brief summary of my trip in pictures but I have a few hundred pictures in total so no doubht I will be sharing more over the next few weeks. There will also be a few related blog posts very soon, including my thoughts on my new MAC foundation bought in the lovely MAC store in Times Square and I am also thinking of doing a few 'Outfit of the day' posts which will surely include some of my new purchases from NY.
 
 
Would you guys like to see some OOTD posts? Or I would love to hear any other suggestions for posts!

Birthday Blog Post

So it was my birthday not so long ago (bit late putting this up). And I got some gorgeous bits and pieces from family and friends, from LUSH to Yankee Candles to the famous fluffy socks. I love ALL of my gifts so much and I cant wait to use and review all my beauty/make up items and create some looks with my new clothes and jewellery! My present from my parents is AMAZING, I didnt expect it at all and I am so excited! You ready? Drum roll please...


I am going to NEW YORK CITY!!! Im so excited! Me and my mam are going this month just before christmas for 4 days of shopping and american food, yummmy! I cant thank my parents enough for such an amazing present! x

Im going to be posting about my new iclothing boots very soon! Then when I get back from new york I will blog my pictures from my trip etc.

As you can see new picture finally up, the original I wanted to put up wouldn't load so I have to stick to this one for now (bad quality, not my favourite) ;_; But will update it soon when my laptop finally lets me!
