<br />I have been building up to try more out there pinks. While I was in MAC innocently picking up a new foundation to replace one that had finished (see I do use things up!) I somehow ended up by the lipsticks.<br />
<br />
Girl About Town has been on my wishlist for some time now. I decided to bite the bullet and just buy it. It is now my favourite lipstick and it gets alot of queries on nights out because it's so fabulous!<br />

<a name='more'></a>From the <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/168/310/Lipstick/index.tmpl" target="_blank">MAC website</a>, they describe Girl About Town as a bright blue fuchsia. It has an amplified creme finish. This means they are creamy (moisturising) and well pigmented.<br /><br />
<br />
Before I apply Girl About Town, I first use a lip pencil to fill in my lips. This helps the lipstick last longer and prevents it from bleeding down your face. Not a good look!<br />

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get a photo of this lipstick on my lips because of the new lighting situation that faces us in A/W!!<br />
<br />
The best I could is a swatch on my hand. I meant to a get a shot of it on my lips the day I was taking all these photos but shur! Distractions.<br />

<br />
Just looking at my swatch above, I can actually see what MAC mean by bright blue fuchsia. I can see the blue undertones.<br />
<br />
I absolutely love this colour. It is my favourite lipstick. My number one. My go to on nights out. I'm not brave enough to wear this during the day. I stick to corals or lip balms. I need to man up!<br />
<br />
This is my second MAC lipstick and I have already added a third one :) What are your favourite MAC lipsticks or any other brand for that matter? I also love Rimmel lipsticks.<br />

I let myself make 2 trips to MAC last month. I was well behaved the first day, however my second trip went slightly out of hand! My nearest MAC counter is located in Brown Thomas. I adore the shopping bags from BTs.<br />

What I picked up the second day. All because I wanted to buy something from MAC. I was on my holidays after all! I think I'm a salespersons dream. 'Hmm, I don't need it but I might need it in the future.' Total impulse shopper!<br />

I don't want a smelly, orange tan that takes about 12 hours to develop. Who has that kinda time to prep so far in advance!?<br />
<br />
I am the skin tone translucent. I am so pale I am see through!<br />

<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.cocoabrown.ie/" target="_blank">Cocoa Brown</a> is the brain child of Irish beautician Marissa Carter. I can't thank her enough for bringing this fantabulous tan into life.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The main reason I bought this tan being honest about it is it's an Irish brand. I really want to try more Irish brands and support our own. So that's what first attracted me to this tan. I also couldn't believe it would develop in 1 hour and didn't have that rotten distinctive fake tan smell, pong actually would be the word. What kind of magic hocus pocus was this!?<br />
<br />
A tan that develops in 1 hour means two things; no more ruined bed sheets or being caught tanless on those last minute planned nights out.<br />
<br />
This gives a gorgeous golden brown colour, the definition of sun kissed in a bottle. A cute pink bottle at that.<br />
<br />
1 hour = light tan<br />
2 hours = medium tan<br />
3 hours = dark tan<br />
It can also be left on over night, I haven't tried this myself. I have gone so far as leaving it for an hour and a half. This is the perfect level of tan for me :) It shows up evenly all over the skin. A lot of tans show up way lighter on my legs and chest than the rest of me. But Cocoa Brown doesn't have this problem.<br />
<br />
The tan formula is a mousse which has floral/perfumey smell. No gross curry like smell here. Winning!<br />
<br />
I'm in love with this tan and I can't say anymore about it's greatness. Apart from it's amazing and you need to go get it! <br />
<br />
Cocoa Brown is €7.99. It's available in chemists nationwide and the ever reliable Penney's.<br />
<br />

I had been eyeing it up for a while and I feel this is well worth the investment. I haven't used any other foundation brush since.<br />

(You can visit <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/pixiwoo" target="_blank">Pixiwoo</a> for tutorials or the <a href="http://realtechniques.com/" target="_blank">Real Techniques </a>website.) The RT collection of brushes come in a coloured coded system, so you can create a flawless finish with the gold handle brushes, enhance your eyes with the purple handle brushes and achieve the perfect base with the pink handle brushes.The brush names are also on the handle which is handy! The brushes are made with taklon synthetic bristles which mean they are cruelty free.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>I use the stippling brush to apply liquid foundation/BB creams and it gives a flawless finish. The stippling brush can also be used to apply bronzer, blusher, highlighter etc. I just prefer mine for foundations and BB creams.<br />

<br />
It's a sturdy brush with a non-slip handle. My previous foundation brush had a shiny handle which made it slippy. I love the soft brush hair. I have had no problems with any fallout or shredding of bristles when using or washing the stippling brush.<br />
<br />
If you don't have this brush, I urge you pick it up. It's easily one of my holy grail products and I will with no doubt be adding to my Real Technique brush collection.<br />

It has a quick drying time. Less than 10 minutes I'd say which is perfect for me and my impatience! Also only one coat is needed as well as no top coat. Happy days!</div>

It started to chip on day 2 for me but I don't mind as I tend to change up my nail polish fairly quickly. Or just take it off as it doesn't last 2 mins at work :(</div>

I have a 2 more of these Gelly polishes to review. I must say I wasn't impressed when I first used it but I gave it time and I now love the Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine collection of nail polishes. I was tempted to pick up Lychee however my head told me not to after reading a few disappointing reviews on it's drying time and consistency. If this has changed do please let me know as I would love to try it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I well definitely be picking up some more of these nail polishes in the future. Any recommendations?</div>

I am obsessed with the handbags and purses River Island have to offer. Currently I possess 3 handbags and 2 purses of theirs, I have probably drooled (not literally of course!) over hundreds of them! I buy them for my friends on their birthdays or Christmas (did I just say that word!) and they are always loved. They have bags of all shapes, sizes and colours. You will find what you desire in this shop.</div>

<a name='more'></a>I remember getting my first purse from River Island as a Secret Santa present back in 2008. I nearly killed my friend from all the hugging! I had lost my purse a few months before that and I was devastated by it but I managed to sort everything out. Luckily I didn't have much or any money in it - joy of being a student! I still use the purse on a daily basis but boy has it taken a battering as you can see!<br />
<br />
I got a second purse from River Island for my 21st, the leather one. It had the real leather smell and all. That's long gone now though :( However I have managed to take much better care of it.<br />

I also received that black handbag for my 21st from other friends. I had originally dreamed of a different one that 2 of them had already gotten for themselves but when they went to get it it was sold out. To be honest I think I love this one way more than I would have loved that one!<br />
<br />
A few months later, I was getting my wisdom teeth out and because it was an operation in which I had to have a general anesthetic my mother felt sorry for me and treated me to the leopard print bag. We had been oohing and aahing over it for a few weeks in River Island and then she bought it for me to cheer me up over the operation. Why we have to go through such pain I'll never understand. Giving us teeth we don't have room for. Aaah! Oh I just remembered, my friend who gave me the purse for my 21st, actually couldn't make my party because she had just gotten her wisdom teeth out. That's a bit weird somehow isn't it!!! Ok just me that thinks then.<br />

And finally last week, I treated myself to this beaut. I haven't bought a handbag since my graduation last October. I'm not counting the clutch I got for the wedding because I don't know when I'll be using that again! This bag is great for everyday use. It's a satchel which seem to be all the rage these days apparently! I just buy whatever I fancy. No good with knowing what the trends are.<br />
<br />
This is available from the River Island website <a href="http://eu.riverisland.com/women/bags--purses/satchels/Beige-colour-block-tassel-satchel--635489" target="_blank">here</a> and stores nationwide. It retails for <span class="st">€45.00 and comes </span>in beige, brown and black & white. I have the beige one above.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the bags I yearn for from the wondrous River Island at the moment. They're all so gorgeous, when, that's WHEN I win the lotto I'll definitely be buying lots and lots of handbags. I just love them!! I especially love the green one below. Mmmh! Someone fancy buying me a present!? :P</div>

This Wednesday I introduce to you all a song from this band The Wanted you might have heard me mention once or twice... The song is 2 years old but it will still gets a smile out of me :) It was the official Comic Relief single in 2011. And it is easily one of my favourites from them.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Band member Max George explained the meaning of the song: "This song is
about a day in your life that you never forget. It's an upbeat,
feel-good track" <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_Forever" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">from Wikipedia</span></a></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The video is a good laugh as well. They don't take themselves too seriously! As you can all judge for yourselves here. </div>

I also had to give in and post their new video for Walks Like Rihanna. They are taking the piss yet again! Can't wait to see them this summer. Gonna be a well deserved laugh and a pick me up because this 'summer' so far is bringing us all down! Yikes!</div>

I decided to put some polka dots over my <a href="http://www.sorandomtoday.blogspot.ie/2013/04/my-first-essie-polish.html" target="_blank">Essie Watermelon</a> polish. I recently spoke of my interest in <a href="http://www.sorandomtoday.blogspot.ie/2013/03/nail-polish-collection-march-2013.html" target="_blank">nail art</a> so I thought I should start off easy!<br />

First thing I love about this lipstick is the packaging. The tidy, black glossy look makes its so sleek and sexy. It snaps shut with a clicky sound so you know for sure it's closed. My mother always loses the lids for lipsticks. I don't think she listens for the clicky sound!</div>
<br />
I have branched out to pink lipsticks. Adventurous! I'm getting there with my lipstick collection :)<br />

On opening the lipstick I noticed a slight, and I mean slight! sweet scent. This isn't noticeable when it's applied to the lips. I love that Catrice is engraved into the lipstick itself. I was fascinated by this. Really!</div>

It applies easily and smoothly to the lips although it could do with some build up. It's still fantastically pigmented for the price: €4.49.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I found the formulation didn't dry out my lips which I believe to be a very important aspect of a lipstick. You're not going to wear something that leaves you with dry lips are you!?</div>

I myself found I had to reapply this regularly but this is something to do with me. I have noticed that I either reapply when it's not necessary or else I must be just licking my lips constantly! Hmmm, or it could be due to the fact that I am constantly eating and drinking throughout the day! I automatically go to reapply my lipstick throughout the day and night so I never notice or feel it to be a hindrance. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I really like this lipstick and I will be picking up some more from Catrice. They are affordable and have a great range of colours available. Are there any you recommend?</div>

Catrice can be found in most chemists/pharmacies and of course Penneys. </div>

How are you all on this morning that belongs to Thursday!?<br />
<br />
First things first, this is from the last 3 months. This is not all from the one shopping trip! Imagine my bank balance if I did this damage all in one go. Minus, Minus, Minus! Thank god for 3 for 2's, sales and advantage cards is all I can say! I think I forgot to include a few things but how as ever. Here's the madness!<br />

<br />
From Clinque to Catrice and everything in between seems to be here! I have started reviewing some of the stuff. I am very bad with reviewing, great at buying though! <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
I have used the Cocoa Brown Tan and that's a definite LOVE! Along with the Essie polish which I have already reviewed <a href="http://www.sorandomtoday.blogspot.ie/2013/04/my-first-essie-polish.html" target="_blank">here</a>. The Inglot eye shadows are also a big hit with me. As are the lipsticks and S & G body buttercream.<br />
<br />
I got the Ciate nail polish and Jergens body moisturiser from Marie Claire magazine. The one with Keira Knightely on the cover.<br />
<br />
Ooopsie! I bought the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer and of course I forgot to include it in the photo. Silly me! I also got some eyeliners from Collection.<br />
<br />
Ponds Cold Cream is something I hear a lot about and even today I was only being told by my friend how her grandmother swore by Ponds Cold Cream and moisturiser and she always had amazing skin. I haven't gotten around to using it yet but soon!<br />
<br />
I have a few bits and pieces from Catrice because my local chemist starting stocking them and they regularly sell things off cheaply so I swoop in and pick up what I can! I buy things at full whack too. And full whack thankfully doesn't cause a dint in the bank balance :)<br />
<br />
Nail polishes. My weakness. Plenty more to add to my ridiculous <a href="http://sorandomtoday.blogspot.ie/2013/03/nail-polish-collection-march-2013.html?" target="_blank">collection</a>!<br />
<br />
Clinque moisturiser, Benefit Brow-zings, Porefessional and Triple Performing moisturiser. Jeez is moisturiser my new weakness or what!? <br />
<br />
I got Nivea's primer, a Rimmel lip liner + Apocalips and Revlon's Nearly Naked as well which I won from their Facebook page a few weeks ago. Oh and No. 7's Brush Cleaner! Aaand! Carmex lip balm. Aaargh so much stuff! Better get cracking!<br />
<br />

You know when you read so much about something and you think to yourself 'this will never live up to the hype'. This is how I felt about the <a href="http://www.tangleteezer.com/" target="_blank">Tangle Teezer</a>. I am glad to say I was mistaken :)</div>

My hair has become so much more manageable. I haven't half the knots I used to have. Brushing my hair after a shower or in the morning was such a chore and hassle for me but not any more!<br />
<br />
Another massive plus for me with this product is how much less hair I am shedding or having pulled out of my head. The difference when I look at the brush/comb/teeth (???) is astonishing. Using my ordinary brush I used to have to try and de-shed the thing every couple of days. I have serious shedding problems ok! Since using the Tangle Teezer though I don't notice half the hair being pulled from head, it's so gentle! Yet does the job!<br />
<br />I love that it doesn't have a handle because I believe this attributes to the marvelous de-tangling of my mop of hair! I was actually beginning to use my ordinary hair brush like but the teeth are too narrow that it was inevitable I was going to be spending the pennies on a Tangle Teezer. <br />
<br />
I know the Tangle Teezer is a bit pricey, I kinda cringe to myself when I think of how much I spent on it but then again it is something I use everyday. Anything that you use everyday is well worth the price, unless it is actually extortionate!!<br />
<br />
My overall verdict? Go out and get yourself one of these bad boys if you have not already done so. They is da business yo!<br />
<br />
If you have any of the Tangle Teezers, what are your opinions?</div>

I finally achieved my goal of owning an Essie nail polish! I was strolling (I love to stroll) through <a href="http://www.shaws.ie/" target="_blank">Shaws</a> yesterday and out of the corner of my eye I spied the <a href="http://www.shaws.ie/Beauty/Essie.aspx" target="_blank">Essie stand</a>. I turned a very abruptly 90 degrees towards the stand. So abruptly that even another shopper turned to see what had got me so excited. She too spent ages and ages picking out polishes. Sooo many colours and they are all arranged by shade. Heaven!</div>

<a href="http://style.mtv.com//wp-content/uploads/style/2012/08/lady-gaga-fame-perfume-smell.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="244" src="http://style.mtv.com//wp-content/uploads/style/2012/08/lady-gaga-fame-perfume-smell.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I finally went and did it. I got me some Lady Gaga Fame after months and months of <a href="http://www.sorandomtoday.blogspot.ie/2012/11/wishlist-november-2012.html" target="_blank">wishing</a> and hoping and and thinking and praying. I was roaming around Boots with no intention of buying anything, as one does (LIES!) ahem! I strolled over to the perfume section wondering if they had any beauts on sale.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had been in Sam McCauley's a few months prior and noticed that the 100ml of Fame had been on sale. I had to resist temptation that day due to the fact I went completely bananas in <a href="http://sorandomtoday.blogspot.ie/2013/02/another-beauty-haul.html" target="_blank">Boots and Debenhams</a> already that day, I had to rein in it somehow! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And so to my delight I spotted Lady Gaga hiding down in the corner of display. I thought I would check out to see if my luck was in and Fame 100ml was on sale again. Indeed it was! Reduced from <span class="st">€74.95 to the affordable </span><span class="st">€49.96, a saving of </span><span class="st">€24.99. I snapped up the last bottle and gave myself a boost that only shopping knows how to give. I had to leave before I ended up at any of the make up counters; Benefit, Clinique, Lancome, so dangerous! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="st">My perfume collection is slowly returning to a collection now. I <a href="http://www.sorandomtoday.blogspot.ie/2013/01/perfume-collection-and-short-guide.html" target="_blank">finished</a> so many of them around the one time, it's strange not having so many to choose from. I have 3 fantastic scents at the moment. I have already reviewed <a href="http://www.sorandomtoday.blogspot.ie/2013/02/review-marc-jacobs-dot.html" target="_blank">Marc Jacobs DOT</a> if you fancy checking it out. I should get to review another during the week. It was a present from my brother, a wonderful surprise from him, all I wanted was Toblerone haha</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="st"><br /></span></div>

Do I speak for everyone when I say we all crave this dress? I love teal, it's the colour I chose to wear to my brother's wedding. In the back of my mind I am wondering was I inspired by the Duchess and her choice of dress here.</div>

I was won over straight away when I first laid my eyes on this beauty. First it was the colour and the shape that I loved, flattering. Until I spotted the details, oh the details! The chiffon, the lace, the capped sleeves. It also shimmered. And most importantly, the back of the dress. Magnificent! The buttons down the back also. Oh la la Catherine!</div>

I dream about this dress. It's a wonderful creation. Jenny Packham is a genius. I adore and yearn for many of her designs. In my head I'm going to win the lotto and with that I shall be the proud owner of a Jenny Packham design ;) It might always be a dream but a girl's gotta have her dreams! Xx</div>

It's been nearly 2 weeks since Ant & Dec graced us with the reappearance of PJ & Duncan on Saturday Night Takeaway. I can honestly say every time I watch this I get a huge grin on my face. And I was absolutely delighted to hear it went to number 1 on iTunes in the UK. Tune! I love 90s music.</div>
