Books Lippy And More My June Haul

So I spent a little too much this week on cosmetics way more then I should have lol.
But when I found out All Care Pharmacy in Camden Street stocked Nyx Cosmetics
I was more than a little so off I marched to check out this drool worthy range.
I have heard amazing things about Nyx cosmetics but especially the lipsticks and glosses
I picked up some super gorgeous colours mainly matte lipsticks as I don’t have any lol.

So I majorly stocked up and I couldn’t leave without buying 2 of the gorgeous Butter Glosses too and from the pics I saw on Instagram of the butter glosses I was so excited to try them out.
When I did oh my word I was happy so glossy and not sticky they feel like they melt on to your lips.

I can't remember the prices exactly put they were all under €8.00 and I got them in All Care Pharmacy Camden street.

But as I was on my way to Dundrum town centre the other day and walking up the main street I saw Haven pharmacy stocks Nyx too.


Here is some swatches and pics of what I got,























But my haul didn’t stop there I picked up two
W7 eyeshadow palettes in my local All Care Pharmacy in Walkinstown.

    I was so delighted to find out that they stocked W7 I got In The Nude and Up In Smoke
    both €9.95 each but totally worth it.

    Delighted to find out they also stock Sleek make up I looooooovvvvvvvvve Sleek so I’ll be in there      soon robbing myself some more and stocking up on some gorgeous lip and eye palettes.
     These eyeshadows are gorgeous and so pigmented there is a mix of matte and shimmery shadows
     Up In Smoke, All White, Bunny, NYC, Jive, Cement, Thunder, Meteor, Carbon, Diesel, Arty
     and X Factor all have a shimmer and Coal is the only matte in this palette.

     In The Nude, Angel, Venice, Copper Pot, Sun Kissed, Bad Manners,Coffee Cup, Mud Slide,           Tokyo and Fashionista all have a shimmer finish too and Latte, Marylin and Alice are matte shades.


















I also picked up the cutest little nail art kits in Penney’s at Dundrum Town Centre
I got the daisy and flamingo kits both €3.50 each.
I haven't used them yet but I will do a step by step when I do for you all.

















Books book and more books I’m a total book worm 
so I picked up a few in Eason in Dundrum Town Centre whilst I was there.

I got Paper Towns by John Green
( Which I’m currently reading and I’m loving it I’m so excited for the movie release in August can’t wait to watch Cara Delevingne playing Margo )

Grey By EL James ( I ordered this on Eason.com reading this next)

The Girl On The Train By Paula Hawkins 
( I heard a lot of good things about this one so I had to have it)

Moone Boy by Chris O’Dowd and Nick Vincent Murphy The Blunder Years 
( Love love love the tv show can’t wait to get stuck into this one)























And for more Jamie Dornan perving I also got watched it again on Saturday night love it




















That’s it for my haul I’m already looking forward to my next one 
I hope you enjoyed the snoop lol

The Irish Beauty Blog Awards 2015 In Association With Tan Organic

The Irish Beauty Blog Awards happened a couple of weeks ago
and were held in one of my favourite spots Lillies Bordello in Grafton Street
My Mam and myself got glammed up and attended the prestigious event and we had an absolutely brilliant time.
Plus all the proceeds from the night went to Breast Cancer Ireland such a fantastic cause
I wore a black jumpsuit that I got in New Look along with white sandals and a black and white clutch bag that as fast become my new baby I love it so much my whole outfit was from New Look and my jacket in the first pic is from Dunnes Stores.

Everyone though was decked out and superglam for the occasion everyone truely brought there A game.
We were treated to some delicious canapés and some lovely cupcakes with the Tan Organic logo on them and we had some lovely champagne and strawberries to sip on for the night.

Not to mention the super generous goodie bag we received spoilt is a serious understatement. I will put a post up of everything that was inside #amazeballs is all I'll say.

Now down to the very important business and what it was all about
the awards which were,

Best Vlogger
Best Content
Best Design
Best Fashion Blog
Best Beauty Blog

Pippa very deservedly made a clean sweep of the awards by a hat trick win for her blog Pippa.ie

The Beauty Chest was nominated for two awards Best Content and Best Vlogger but unfortunately didn't make it to the shortlist but it was such an honor to be even nominated I was delighted.

I have added some photos of the night hope you enjoy getting a sneaky peek of the night.
