Hi guys,

Hope your all doing well and everyone is as beautiful as ever.
I'm so so sorry I've not posted anything in absolute yonks but as you all should know by now I have opened Looksgood.ie Ireland's latest online clothing boutique for women and I have being nurturing my little baby since it opened last August.

I have always took on the project of conducting my family tree again, although I have hit another brick wall so it's parked again for the moment although I'm definitely addicted to it if I'm honest lol.

But this Month and next is going to be just as busy with Looksgood.ie taking part in two fantastically exciting events that I'm so so excited to be taking part in.

The odd turkey, duck, and pigeon has also been rehabilitated at various stages of its existence! They rescue ex-battery and commercial egg-laying hens and rehabilitate and re-home them.
I was delighted to be asked by Brenda Clarke who is organizing the event herself to have Looksgood.ie take part in this fantastic and for such a worthy and important cause for our little furry buddies.
Some of our bestsellers will be getting shown off on the catwalk on the night all worn by the gorgeous girls from Size Gorgeous Management.

Krazy For Kylie Kylie Jenner Lip Kits Review.

Hey all hope everyone is doing well since the last post.
Since the last post you might of read that I had ordered some of the Kylie Jenner lip kits
they have since arrived it took about 3 weeks from ordering them from the US for them to arrive to Ireland which wasn't that bad I thought it would be longer
anyway down to the important part and what I thought.
Well I'm well and truly hooked and totally obsessed with them so much so I'm planning on treating myself to a couple more.
I have heard a few negative things about them but in my opinion I honestly think they are fantastic
and well worth every cent and they are well lived up the hype they are receiving from other beauty bloggers.
Firstly the pigments are just amazing but
my absolute favourite thing about them and the one I'm most surprised about is there lasting power I was seriously impressed the first full day I used it I applied it at about 8am in the morning I had a crazy day planned with 4 meetings ahead of me and I didn't need to top it up until 6pm that evening when I went to meet a friend and at that I only needed a slight top up in the center where it began to fade I've never had a lip stick last that long through eating and drinking and for that length of time.
The lip liners match lovely with the shades in each kit I bought and they also lasted the entire distance of the day.
Then when it was time to retire for the evening at about 12am and it was time to take my face off I needed to remove it with my Garnier Miceller water, a tissue wasn't going to touch it it took a few wipes to remove the colour and liner completely.
My favourite shade is Koko K that's the one that will run out the quickest I wear it everyday now
followed by Posie K.
I also got Dolce K which I haven't worn as much as it is a little to dark for me and my colouring but I will try again with it.
I also got Literally in the gloss and that is my fave for these gorgeous sunnier days we've being having lately it is such a gorgeous nude shade.

I need to order Exposed, 22, Mary Jo and the rest of the glosses now I'm well and truly caught up in the craze now lol.

Check the swatch of all the colours I ordered and some pics of me wearing them lol
Let me know in the comments on twitter or facebook if your loving the lipkits and glosses
and what colours you have and what's your fave

Until next time
Clare xo

Here is a picture of me wearing my absolute favourite Koko K

and here is a close up of what they look like on

Dolce K I do love the colour and I'll have to be brave and wear it more

Posie K my 2nd fave such a gorgeous

This my new fave gloss this is what Literally looks like on

A Glutening, An Award Show and Kylie Jenner Lip Kits

Hi everyone,
I hope you are all well I'm so sorry I've not posted in ages I've had a really rough couple of weeks.
Get yourself comfy and a cuppa and let me fill you in on what's being happening.
As you all probably know from reading my previous posts I was diagnosed in January with Coeliac disease and very recently I was glutened when I attended an event a couple of weeks ago.
I won't say where as I don't want to get sued lol but if you want to know and you're concerned and if your a coeliac yourself dm me on Twitter and I'll let you know.

I'm in no way blaming the hotel I was at as they were extremely overworked on the night from what I heard as the event was beyond full to capacity so it was all hands on deck for them
they have since apologised which I accepted.

I brought along my eating out coeliac card and everything showed it to the waiting staff  and mentioned my condition and requirements
but I guess these things happen it was just a shame as it did spoil an otherwise fantastic night as the aftermath was horrific beyond anything I've ever experienced in my life
it was only the 2nd time I was out since being diagnosed too so very disappointing.

I always cook all my own food and since my diagnoses I've never being glutened with my own cooking so again an awful shame
I will be even more wary of eating out now as I was beyond bad I've never in all my life felt as bad as I did I was in severe pain and I was physically crying out in pain I could actually feel and see my stomach was swollen I really did think a few times I was going to die so very frightening I won't go into anymore detail as it was really dreadful and very personal.

But my poor Mother was an absolute rock to me she helped me through it so much I would be seriously lost without her she really took great care of me and made me laugh and held my hand and listened to me and all my worries and I know I worried her terribly which I'm still so so upset about I hated doing that to her and it was all so needless and so well avoided if people took this disease as the very serious one it really is.
.
But I'm slowly getting on the mend but not yet really 100% I'm still very tired and I don't really have to much energy and I can't go very far or do very much which is so frustrating as I have something absolutely huge I'm working on and I've not really got time to take time off at the moment
But my stomach is still not tip top but I'm definitely healing which is the good news.

It was also my 27th birthday last week but I couldn't really celebrate as I was still not feeling great but I still had a lovely day with my beautiful mother and rock and my loving family who got me a beautiful birthday cake from Antoinettes bakery in Kevin Street Dublin 8 it was so gorgeous I'm really craving it now I have to say the nicest cake I've had since my diagnoses I'll definitely be back for the odd treat.
I highly recommend Antoinettes bakery to anyone as she also caters for people with allergies too and other dietary requirements and it's a gluten free zone so no need to worry about cross contamination.

                                                    Here is a pic of my beautiful cake

I really got spoiled though my Mam treated me to some of Kylie Jenner's Kylie Cosmetics Lip Kits
I definitely went a bit mad on the Monday night they went on sale I got Koko K, Dolce K, Posie K and I also got one of the glosses in Literally.

They've not arrived yet but I'm really hoping they will soon as I have the Beauty Blog Awards this Thursday at my ultimate favourite venue Lillies Bordello and I really want to wear one to that I'm really excited to be attending again this year I had a ball last year surrounded by so much talent in one room was really awe inspiring.
I have my outfit sorted I can't tell you just yet who its from but if you stay tuned to The Beauty Chest and the social media pages all will be revealed fingers crossed next month but I'm very excited about it and that's all I'll say for now watch this space.
I just have to sort out my accessories now and I'm sorted so a shopping trip is on the cards hopefully I will feel a lot better by next week.


Although I was not blogging I was eagle eyed at the style at the Met Gala Ball and of course Cannes
I will have a post on all my faves from both events on Monday evening so stay tuned for that there was some stunners and some stinkers to behold lol.

Here is some pictures from The Bloggers Choice Awards apart from nearly dying after it was a great night and everyone really was gorgeous on the night.

What I wore on the night my shoes are Penneys so comfy too and my clutch is New Look
I can't tell you about where I got my dress yet but stay tuned to The Beauty Chest
and the social media pages for updates.
My tan is my favourite and the only one I ever use St Tropez 1 Hour Tan Mousse this is
my baby lol.

My fur in this picture is faux fur and it's from House Of Fraser and I doubly love it
as I got it on sale for €30 down from €90 #bargainalert
My lipgloss is Nyx Butter Gloss In Peaches And Cream.
My foundation is MAC Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof Foundation in NC30
with the Pro Longwear powder on top my favourite and the only one I'll wear on a night out as it doesn't budge.
I'm using sleek face form in fair for my contour and for my blush along with Nyx Contour stick which is another one of my faves.
For my eyes and brows I used Nyx eyeshadow primer in white, followed by I Divine All Night Long eyeshadow palette and the Ultra Mattes V1 Palette, I used a brown shadow from the All Night Long palette for my brows I can't remember the exact shadows on my eyes or brows sorry lol.
I'm wearing Max Factor False Effect Lash Mascara with Kiss Lashes in Sultry which are my ultimate fave lashes.
I'm also using Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Liner
on my lash and waterline




My beautiful Mam and myself just as we arrived


Our table for the evening check out my little Coeliac eating out card lol

Myself and the lovely Fiona the brains behind the Irish Blogger Association and coolevents.ie
and the organiser of the brilliant conference and awards event.



And here is some pictures of the food that nearly killed me the supposed GF options lol
This was all my meal (something was a lurking)
       







This was my Mam's starter and desert the main was the same




Some lovely wine for us






Hope you enjoyed the little sneaky peak into the Bloggers Choice Awards with my pics
and I hope you enjoyed reading all about my latest adventures and mishaps lol.
As I mentioned stay tuned for a massive announcement coming to The Beauty Chest
next month I'm so excited to share it with you all.
I'll have a post and pics on The Beauty Blog Awards next week and My Faves at the Met Gala and Cannes coming on Monday.

Until next time

My April Lust Haves

Hi all I hope you are all well
isn’t it a gorgeous Monday evening you can definitely feel spring in the air.
I realised I haven't done a lust have in ages and there is so much

I have my eye on lately I had to share my April lust haves with you all

And my birthday is coming up next month so I may get lucky lol.

Here is want I have my eye on this month

Kylie Jenner Lip Kits

Like nearly every lady on the planet right now I really want

one of these and now Kylie Jenner has brought out 3 different finishes I need

them all and every single time I try there sold out mind you that's probably a good thing

as I can foresee a serious spending spree on these gorgeous lipkits.

In the mattes I need and adore Koko K, Candy K and 22

and in the glosses Like and So Cute

and in the new metals I need them all King K, Heir and Reign.

I haven't got problems at all lol

Urban Decay Naked Vault

I really really want this all the Naked palettes all in this gorgeous case

no other words needed on this I have to have this love it.

Included in this beauty you get Naked, Naked2, Naked3, Naked Basics, Naked2 Basics and Naked Smoky.

Please buy this for me someone lol

Urban Decay Alice Through the Looking Glass collection

This is just absolutely gorgeous and I want them all absolutely beautifully presented

I'll have this when it drops May 5th this is just I can't even lol

and would you look at the lipsticks these are my faves from the collection

Sensationail Polish To Gel

Well this was on my list but I've just picked up my kit and it's so not a

disappointment this absolute legend will turn any of your favourite nail polishes into a

gel that will last 2 weeks.

I did mine on Friday morning and there still going strong

it is easy peasy to use and it will save you a fortune.

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation

I have an obsession with foundations and after everything I have heard about this

latest one from Charlotte Tilbury anyone that can promise all this,

“hyper-intelligent” formula that gives full-coverage yet feels completely weightless, with all the anti-ageing and protective benefits of a luxury skin cream. It conceals imperfections, glides on like a dream, and literally feels like a second skin.

Is definitely on my lust list.

Cailyn O! Wow Brush

I really really need to try this brush it looks so cool to use

and it seems to make contouring an absolute snap to do and it makes

foundation application look so airbrushed.

 

Please let me know any of your lust haves you might have are they any of these

or something else that escaped my eye let me know in the comments or on Twitter or Facebook.

Until next time,

Clare xo
