Sleek Blushers- A Lazy Person's MakeUp Staple!!


Hey Everybody!!
Happy Monday and i hope you all had a great weekend! 

So today i am going to be talking about a product which i have just recently fell in love with, I know there are probably many reviews on all the products i will ever speak about, but to be honest what i look for in make up is for it to be effortless, quick, does what it says on the tin and is not to pricey!
Dont get me wrong there is nothing wrong with spending s little extra on a top quality product, but for me i just find that its really not worth it, and i am sure alot of students or people like me that have moved away from there home country would agree!
Also i think i am only 21, i don't fully know what suits my face or what type of makeup look i really want to go with so buying expensive products for the short time i may use it really is not worth it for be, and also there are some amazing drug store alternatives out there and i plan on finding the best! 

So on my newest quest, i had been searching for a new blusher, i couldn't really find one that suited me, i still have baby fat cheeks and dimples so its hard to find something that looks OK when i am not smiling and just going about my business! 
And i also wanted to branch out from the usual pink that i would use, so i went into boots in westfield just before Christmas and though hey i look for one in here, i walked over to the sleek counter as i had heard my friend talk about how much she loves sleek eye-shadows, so i had a look at there blushes while she picked through the pallets!
And what i found was the most beautiful color i have ever seen in my life!
But,can we first all join together and appreciate sleek's packaging, i think its so well sleek ha!
It looks great inside my make up bag and considering the price it really does look like a high end product.
The sleek brand has some amazing formulas, and there blushers are so pigmented and they have some beautiful colors, but my favorite was the "Pomegranate" color!


It was an amazing color for winter and you literally only need a tiny amount on your brush and it comes out so beautiful on the cheek, 
The thing i liked most about this blusher was that it really did make it look like you had just been out in the show and you were all flushed, granted this color i think would look better on paler skin as i think it could look a bit weird to ware with dark makeup.
The best way i can describe it, is that it gives you a kind of Elsa form frozen glow! 
And i don't think i will be hitting pan on this blusher for a while, as the tiniest amount is just perfect!


I am definitely going to go back and add a few more to my collection in the not so distant future!


Lots of love

90's babys can you relate?

Hi Everybody! (Hi Doctor Nick! Ha! I reckon i am hilarious!)




If your not a 90's baby or older, i would click away from this blog post now because your most likely going to think i am mental and have no idea what i am talking about, or stay and listen to me ramble on like a crazy lady who really doesn't understand the world we live in today, and hey maby you guys can educate me?
*Deep Breath* Okaaay let me start from the beginning, i know this is going to sound bizarre because well if your reading this, your reading it on my blog, but i genuinely do not understand what social media has become! I grew up in the days were unless it was bucking down ( and i mean really bucking down because i grew up in Ireland and it was always at least raining a little)



I am only 21 and have only been on this strange planet for a short time but as i have grown up  and i look at the young girls and boys a few years younger then me, i feel like shaking them(gently and nonviolently of course) and tell to take there noses out of there smart phones, Facebook,twitter and what ever else is considered cool these days! There is so much in this world if you just look up from your phone! Isn't there? When i was a little girl the world looked so big and i had so many plans and ambitions and things i wanted to do when i got older, i spent most of my summers exploring fields and making dens with my childhood best friend Orla and generally being a kid! We have so many memories that are just ares and that i cherish because it was back in a more innocent time! Today i see kids as young as 7 walking round with smart phones and taking selfies and worrying about how there hair looks and its honestly frightening to me YOUR SEVEN!! you should be playing in the dirt and staying away from boys because there gross and you don't want to play football with them, am i the only one that this scares!!




If there are any young girls reading this, please listen to this advice, dont wish to grow up to quickly its a trap! Enjoy being young its a blessing i mean it, i often wished i would grow up quick and now i am 21 i wish i could be a kid again! 
Please Just Be You !
