September favorites '14

I haven't been using too many different things this month as I have been trying to build a routine with some staple items. Here are some of my favorites.

Things to do with the kids... Handy Art!

One of the great things about my kids is that they love to be creative and rather than letting them loose with the art supplies (paint on the walls & furniture isn't the look I want to go for), I prefer to channel they're creativity. I got the idea for this art piece when my eldest daughter and I were thinking of how we could brighten up the bathroom.

Purple eye look ♥

Just a quick share of my subtle daytime look.

I love the colour purple and it is a close second to my favourite colour, which is red. I find it so

Beautifying Lip Smoother

This is the first time that I've tried a lip smoother and I must say that I'm quite impressed. I tried the lip perfector from Clarins in the shop and really liked it, especially as the applicator is soft and spongy. It's not too badly priced at around €15 but I didn't pick it up at the time. 

Wishlist - Sept/Oct '14

Here are a few things that I'd like to buy over the coming month.

Cargo 'Suited To A Tea' eye shadow palette

This palette features absolutely gorgeous eye shadows and I can't wait to get it. It's top of my list!

Especially looking forward to playing around with the colours on the bottom row like 'Macaron' and 'Ritz'. 

Things to do with the kids... go to the beach

e.l.f. nail polish in Blush

This is the first nail polish from e.l.f. that I have tried and it certainly won't be the last. I am really impressed with the quality and especially as it only costs €2,50!

Nature is beautiful ♥

I have always had a fascination with nature. All of the different creatures, plants and trees combine to make this world a place of true beauty.

I love having a garden where I can relax and enjoy nice sunny days, and the wonderful changes that

Nails - Quick dry drops ☺

I am certainly not an expert when it comes to painting my nails. I think it stems from not having much of interest in it during my teens. So any helpful tools or tips are greatly appreciated.

MUA nail polish first impression

I have been very excited to try out this nail polish from MUA (Make Up Academy). It is in the colour 'Pistachia Ice Cream', which I think is an absolutely beautiful mint green colour.

L'Oréal Casting Crème Gloss hair colour review

I have been colouring my hair myself for years. In my late teens, I was a big fan of being blonde which most people I meet now can't believe until I provide photographic proof. Since I've been older though, I prefer to go for the darker look and of course, I have those pesky grey hairs now which tend
