My Soap & Glory Collection and Reviews ♡♡


Hi I hope your Monday is not too bad 

I always include Soap & Glory products in my blog posts to do with skincare and shower routines so I thought why not share with you my collection & my thoughts on each item.

So here we go.....

Peaches & Clean 3 in 1 wash off deep purifying cleanser


I love this cleanser!! It leaves my skin feeling super soft without feeling tight. It cleans your face thoroughly. I used to use this after a long day of wearing make-up, but then I re-organised my storage & forgot about it, but not to worry I have re-kindled my love for this product ♡  It melts away make-up even tough eye make-up. It is full of anti-oxidants & vitamins due to been packed with Peach & Goji berry extract. You can imagine how delicious this smells. I highly recommend this product!!

Hand Food (Hand cream)


Absolutely adore this hand cream. Use it everyday. It contains shea butter, macadamia oil & marshmallow. It is non greasy & extremely hydrating. It gives results instantly. If you are looking for a hand cream that does what it's suppose to, then hand food is for you!!

Heel Genuis (Foot cream)



I recommend this for everyone who has dry skin on their feet (euwhh)!! It contains macadamia oil,menthol,bilberry, orange & lemon. I apply a genrous amount to make feet, massage it in & then put on some socks to let the cream do it magic. It is better than any pedicure at a fraction of the price!

The Righteous Butter



This is an okay moisturiser. I found it quite greasy and for my dry skin, it didn't make much of a difference. Although, this would be great to apply before fake tan or just as a light moisturiser. It has the original pink scent that some of the Soap & Glory products have. Wouldn't recommend if you are in need of an intensive moisturiser.

Smooch Operator Lip Balm



Love this lip balm, it is so nourishing and slightly enhances your natural lip colour. It smells amazing, like coconut!!  It tastes good (lmao)! I suffer from dry, chapped lips & this works wonders! It contains wild mango butter which is protective & repairing, Argan oil which helps soften, strengthen, moisturise & protect, Vitamin C oil for long lasting moisture & anti-inflammatory properties, and sweet almond, Rose hip & shea butter.

'Mist you madly' Body fragrance



This smells amazing!!! Beautiful!! Feminine!! Subtle!! Not much else I can say to be honest, GO BUY IT!!!

'Glam-a-lot' Body Fragance

This is actually discontinued and I honestly do not know why, it has beautiful rich floral & musky scent. Please bring it back Soap & Glory!!

The rest of my collection has actually been reviewed on my blog before so I am going to just list them below and leave a link to blog post they are mentioned in :)

'You wont believe your eyes' eye cream
'Feel good factor' moisturiser
Face soap Clarity 3 in 1 daily detox face wash


'Clean on me' Shower cream
'Sugar crush' scrub
'Smoothie star' moisturising milk
'Girligo' Moisturising mist


Soap & Glory have actually changed their packaging since I have purchased these but all names are the same :)

My Shower Routine ♡ (Product Reviews) ♡


Good afternoon Girls (& maybe some boys) 

While I was having my lovely morning shower, I thought you guys may like to be let in on my in shower products & after shower products! & also a little review on some of the items used. I don't really ever have a bath so I like to use some yummy products in my shower to make it a little more luxurious.

So firstly I wash my hair & I use Herbal Essence Hello Hydration Shampoo & Conditioner. This duo is amazing and my go to hair products, it smells amazingly coconutty. Coconut is one of the most moisturising fruits out there & is known for its tropical, dreamy scent. Who wouldn't want this in there hair?! My hair was noticably softer after one wash & it adds beautiful shine to your hair. It is very gentle so NO build up which leaves you hair feeling weighed down. Would highly recommend this Shampoo & Conditioner for anyone who has dry or chemically treated hair or for anyone who loves a gorgeous smelly shampoo!!



Secondly I scrub my whole body with Soap & Glory Sugar crush Body scrub. This is my holy grail body scrub & I will never use another scrub again. It leaves my skin super soft & it's sweet lime smell leaves your skin feeling squeaky clean & fresh. I suffer with dry skin & this scrub is my saviour, it is gritty but not too harsh (it has just the right amount of scrub!!). Although this is quite expensive compared to other drugstore body scrubs but you get bang for your buck in the 300ml tub. I used up the last of mine this morning & will be re-purchasing. The packaging has the same theme as other Soap & Glory products, girly, retro, vintage & cute. This is a must have ladies!!



Thirdly I use my Gilette venus razor along with Gilette satin care gel for sensitive skin to shave. Not much to say about these products, I pick the Gilette razor as it glides over the skin and doesn't tug or cut the skin.



Finally in the shower I use, Soap & Glory Clean on me shower cream. I love Soap & Glory and I am a dedicated fan. This shower cream again has cute packaging and conviently has a pump so no more struggling with flicking the lids of shower gels. I must say this product takes a few pumps for it to lather up but once you have it on your skin, its worth the extra few pumps! This shower cream is very luxurious & creamy, and it contains a built in moisturiser which leaves my skin soft & dewy.



So I am all dried off and ready for my moisturiser, I use two different moisturisers for my body, one been Soap & Glory Smoothie star deep moisture body milk. I use this on my legs, my legs are super dry so needs a deep moisturising cream. This comes with a handy pump also and leaves my legs feeling fully moisturised & instantly nourished. It smells amazing, truely feels like I am covering myself in a milky smoothie. It contains softening shea butter, cocoa butter & coconut oil, and has an oats, yogurt & honey formula! How delicious?! But no you can't consume!!



Afterwards I use Soap & Glory Girligo moisturising mist on my upper body. This is super handy as comes in a body spray like packet so all you do is spritz this all over your arms & chest and rub in & your ready to go. It doesnt leave you skin feeling oily or greasy. It smells fresh & leaves a beautiful lingering smell throughout the day. Some of the scents I can get from it are musk, strawberry, peach & jasmine. Perfect!!


So thats my in & out shower routine & I hope you guys will go try some of these products. Bit of a routine formed in mine, Soap & glory appeared a lot, but that just shows how good their products are. If you would maybe like to see my Soap & Glory collection please just comment below. Thanks for reading....& make sure to follow my blog & check out my other social links

My first YouTube video!!!!



So YES!! I have took the leap from blogging to vlogging!

I remember in my first post I spoke of how daunting writing my first blog post was but now that I have got a bit more comfortable writing on my blog I thought I would challenge myself and take a step into the unknown.

I uploaded my first video on YouTube a few minutes ago and I swear I rustled this video together in a half hour haha, I was weirdly awkward and used my webcam to film on! Terrible....but none the less I uploaded and had a bit of fun claiming monkeys could achieve the hairstyles I show in the video. I really got to invest in a good camera and tri-pod. I am not really comfortable infront of the camera but to really do tutorials justice I had to start vlogging :) I will still be posting on this just as much too though!!

Has any of you had a bad YouTube experience? Have you guys any advice for me starting out on YouTube? Suggestions on cameras or video editing?

I would love to hear what you guys think :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IMbuk-ae38&feature=youtu.be

Make sure to follow my blog, check out my other social networks and of course subscribe to my channel for some hopefully improved videos...watch me progress!!

Would you rather? Beauty edition TAG

Hello my beauty lovers :)

Today I am bringing you all a little beauty, would you rather? TAG! Most sundays I upload a TAG post :)

SO lets begin!!!

1. Would you rather lose all your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks & lipglosses OR lose all you eyeshadow palettes?  I would rather lose my palettes, because you can have a makeup look with mascara and eyeliner and your  lip products and look ok, but would look quite odd with just eyeshadows i think!!

2. Would you rather chop all of your hair off OR never be fit to cut your hair ever again? I would go with never been fit to cut my hair ever again, I love long hair :)

3. Would  you rather have a coral cheek OR a pink cheek? a coral cheek :)  I just prefer corals and oranges than pink blushes.

4. If you had £1000 to spend, would you buy clothes OR make-up? At the moment I would pick clothes as I am in need of a new wardrobe for spring/summer so make-up can wait :)

5. Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner OR eyeliner as lipstick? I would apply eyeliner as lipsticks because it would be a lot easier applied.

6. Would you rather only shop at MAC OR Sephora? Well since we haven't got a Sephora store in Ireland, I would have to pick MAC, but if it was online shopping I would pick Sephora :)

7. Would you rather only using one eye colour for the rest of your life OR one lip colour? Without a doubt I would choose to use the same lip colour for rest of my life because I love experimenting with different eye looks.

8. Would you rather wear summer clothes in winter OR winter clothes in summer? Prob pick to wear winter clothes in summer as Ireland rarely has a full summer of heat lol.

9. Would you rather never to be able to paint your nails again OR never be able to wear lipgloss? Never be able to wear lipgloss, hate lipgloss, all sticky and greasy looking!

10. Would you rather always having your nails dark colour OR always having them a bright colour? I would have them dark all the time, dark nail polishs are rich and elegant looking.

Hope you enjoyed this sunday TAG :) Leave your answers below to these questions, and FOLLOW MY BLOG!!! (if you want lol)

Have a good Sunday

Super-Drug/Sleek Haul


Hello :)

Today I popped into Super-Drug and fed my addiction of make-up, I couldn't help myself. I have been wanting some of the stuff I got for a while now so today was the day!

I picked up a 'Real Techniques' Beauty blender sponge for applying liquid foundation. I have been wanting to try this for ages and have seen all my fave beauty guru's use these. Well MY GOD!!! Does my foundation go on flawlessly!!! Real Techniques must not be able to go wrong. I dampened the blender slightly first, which is optional, and just dapped some foundation on (MAC Studio fix mixed with some BB cream) and just dapped it firmly all over my skin. The shape of this blender is handy as it has a flat slanted end which is good for the bigger areas of the face, and a pointed end which  found great for applying concealer to my under eye. Love love love this product!!!

I then went to the 'Sleek' stand and was spoilt with choice!! I picked up two eyeshadow palettes, a blush palette and a simple eyebrow pencil. The palettes I bought was one named 'Storm' which is full of beautiful metallic shades which some of which reminded me of the 'Naked 3' palette by Urban Decay, and I also got the palette named 'Ultra Mattes v2 in Dark', these are beautiful, strong, pigmented shades. These are a bargain at £7.99 and the work just as good as some high end shadows. Below I have included some swatches of the eyeshadows.




'Storm'

'Ultra matte v2 Dark'

As you can see these colours are very pigmented which is brilliant. Next I got a blush palette of 3 blushes. These are beautiful shades of coral and peach tones. This palette is called '', it has a matte orange shade, a shimmery peach which has gorgeous fleck of gold which really highlights your cheeks, and a matte coral/pink. These blushes are £9.99!!



Then the last thing is just a 'Sleek' eyebrow pencil in light :) I would highly recommend Sleek products, the are amazing quality at amazing value, I got three palettes, a beauty blender and an eyebrow pencil for £38. I thought this was great value.

Hope you enjoyed this post and let me know what you think of Sleek :)

Best & Worst dressed (Oscars 2014)


This years Oscars I found to be disappointing in the fashion end of things, I was so underwhelmed by the standard of dresses because after all it is THE OSCARS!!

But despite that, I managed to pick my best & worst dresses from the event.

My Best dressed was, Kate Hudson who is pictured below in the beautiful gown designed by Versace. This beaded dress had a stunning, sexy deep v-neck and the cape shoulders on this really added something different to a sexy, sleek number. 


I picked Kirsten Bell as the worst dressed at the Oscars, her dress was like a wedding dress and a horrible wedding dress at that. The Cavalli dress did not suit her and was really underwhelming, the pale lilac tone of this dress washed Kirsten out and the cut is like something you would see at the debs or prom.


This was a quick post on my thoughts on the best and worst dressed at the Oscars. These are my own opinions. Hope you enjoyed it, and leave a comment and let me know on your thoughts on the Oscars fashion this year :)

My 'Go to' perfumes


Today I am doing a post about my go to perfumes, the perfumes I constantly reach for and re-purchase. So I am going to just jump in and begin :) Enjoy!


This is my favourite perfume of all time!! This is 'Katy Perry-Killer Queen'. The smell of this is to die for, sweet, rich, and fresh. A little goes a long way with this fragrance. When I run out I will most defiantly be buying this again.


The next perfume I am loving is 'River Island-New York'. I like to wear this at night if I am heading away as it is not a 'Daytime scent', quite strong and extremely rich. It has a slight vanilla scent, I am rubbish at describing smells lol. None the less it is a beautiful scent and I really adore it.


Love this perfume, again this is from Katy Perry and its called 'Meow'. This is a super sweet scent with undertones of vanilla. This is a really girly smell and perfect scent for spring. Katy Perry's perfumes go a long way, one squirt and you are smelling fabulous for ages.


I got this perfume as a present at christmas and I never really has smelt it before, but I'm sorry I hadn't smelt it before now.  It is 'Intimately Beckham'. It is a strong yet fresh scent, very femine! Again this goes a long way and an extra squirt can be too much and overwelming. 

These are a few of my favourite perfumes and if you would like me to do a full product review on anyone them just comment below :)

Thank you for reading this post, if you could follow my blog would be highly appreciated and check out my other social networks :)

Mini Drugstore Haul :)


Been a while since I blogged so decided to let you guys see what I purchased in Boots today. They had 3 for 2 on nearly everything in store, so it would have been rude not to pick up a few things I am running low on :)


I decided to pick up the Garnier Micellar Cleansing water to try. I have heard a few people rave about this and wanted to see for myself how good it really is, so as soon as I got home I removed my makeup and WOW it truely cleans your face! My makeup came off so easily without rubbing! So far so good :)


I picked up the Garnier Express 2 in 1 eye makeup remover from the same range. This is like a cleansing water but has a purple oil that sits on top of the water and before use you shake it up! Again, I tried this when I got home and my mascara which is waterproof just slid off.


Since it was 3 for 2, I just picked up my favourite moisturiser, Garnier Moisture match for dry to very dry skin. I have done a small review in one of my previous posts :)


I just got some simple boots oval cotton pads, pretty basic!

Since a lot of cosmetics were in the 3 for 2 deal, I picked a few things up that I was running low on, which happened to be bronzer, eyeliner and concealer :) I went for the bourjous bronzer which I swear by! I got the loreal instant age rewind concealer, I use this for under my eyes as it hides dark circles flawlessly. For eyeliner, I decided to try seventeen high drama liquid eyeliner, the consitancy and packaging reminded me of the barry m liquid liner which I loved so Ill give it a go :)

All these products where bought in boots and go check out there deals in store, worth a look :)

This is not a typical haul, quite small but hopefully you enjoyed this post and if you want me to do an updated skincare routine or daily makeup look using the new products just ask below :)

Panic Attacks!


I decided to write about quite a personal topic today, I mainly thought I'd share it with you as some of you might be a panic attack sufferer yourself or maybe know someone who is. I hope this post helps you understand more about anxiety and panic attacks or maybe just makes you feel as though you know me better.

Anxiety is a natural feeling and lies in everyone but may never show its ugly head in all of us, for me anxiety is a big part of my week and can pop up and say hello several days a week leading to horrible panic attacks. Panic attacks creep up on you without you even knowing, and the next minute you feel worried, anxious, breathless, and like everything is wrong. Anxiety is a feeling that cannot be controlled.

I have been suffering with panic attacks and high levels of anxiety for nearly 5 years now and it took me a long time to discover what a panic attack is and even people around me like my boyfriend struggle to understand whats going on when it happens to me. Maybe you are a panic attack sufferer and are clueless to what is happening what you feel like this so hopefully I can help slightly.

When a panic attack starts, you feel like the room is slowly getting smaller, more and more people are looking at you, feel like you cant breathe and you just want to run away from it all before it all catches up on you. Panic attacks pump adrenalin through your body, preparing yourself for the worst. This is what happens in your brain in a life or death sort of situation. When the adrenalin is released, this speeds your heart rate and can cause quite a few physical and emotional changes in yourself, like, sweating, feeling sick, feeling claustrophobic, crying uncontrollably, and rapid breathing. These are the ones that effect me but there is some more.

Some peoples panic attacks stop them wanting to get themselves into positions where there is lots of people, small rooms or spaces etc but my panic attacks are triggered by depression. I realised I wasn't myself late last year and I went to a doctor and had a chat. I have some things I need to sort out before I can get myself back on track, but I find when something is annoying me and makes me sad it brings on a panic attack.

Since I am still trying to sort things out, I have no major advice on how to manage the panic attacks but all I can say is, talk to your family, go to doctor and when you feel like your in a position your not comfortable with just get up and get away from the position and get air and take deep breathes and just achknowledge that you may be having a panic attack and it helps.

Nothing is ever too bad that can't be fixed by talking or just let someone know that you have panic attacks or if something is annoying you, never hold anything in because that is what I have done for 5 years nearly and it has seriously built up on me and it harder to figure out what certain thing is triggering the anxiety, the panic attacks or the depression.

I hope this little post gave you some help or maybe has give you the push to tell someone what is up :)

My Skincare products & reviews


Good evening everyone, Hope you are enjoying the last of a great weekend :) I thought since I am having a squeaky clean, fresh faced sort of a day, I would share with you the products I use in my skincare routine and also do a review on each product. When it comes to skincare, I find it hard to find products that work for my skin. I have normal skin with dry areas and I am prone to break outs on my chin, but I feel these products are my savior when it comes to spots and blemishes! So lets begin :)


1. Primark Beauty - 4 in 1 gentle cleansing wipes. I use these wipes to remove my make-up before I wash my face. These are the only wipes I can use on my skin that don't break me out. If you have sensitive skin and can't seem to find a cleansing wipe for you defiantly try these. They are great value for money as you get a twin pack for only €1.50. 


2. Soap & Glory Clarity face wash - I use a pea sized amount of this face wash and apply it on dampened skin, I rub it in until a foam appears. I love the feeling this face wash gives your skin while using it, it gives a cooling, tingling sensation and how bright and fresh your skin looks after use is amazing. My skin feels a little tight after I use it but moisturiser sorts that right out. This is for oily/combination skin so works brilliant for any kind of skin. I have normal/dry skin and works great for me. It is packed with vitamin c and super-fruit plum which is natural extract which brightens tired, dull skin. This is only €6.33 in boots at the moment and is bargain as it lasts long.


3. Moisturiser - I have two favourite moisturisers and jump between the two of them and use a different one each night. Firstly is, Garnier moisture match goodbye dry, which is the pink packaged one, this moisturiser is my holy grail of all moisturisers. This product is sooo hydrating and nourishing on the face, it is a thick and creamy consistency and makes your skin super soft. Garnier have 5 of these moisturisers and they are all for different skin types, the one I have is for dry to very dry skin. It is enriched with shea butter,Camellia oil, omega 3& 6, which all have intense nourishing properties. This is a thick heavy product but quickly absorbs into the skin. My second fave moisturiser is Soap & Glory feel good factor with spf 25, I like to use this one in the morning underneath my make up or before I head out into the world, where as I would use the other at night. This moisturiser has a thinner consistency and may not be as nourishing as the other but is has a good spf. , I buy my Garnier from Primark for €3 and the soap and glory is in boots for a pricey €16.


4. Soap & Glory 'You wont believe your eyes' eye cream. I use this eye cream every morning to alleviate the appearance of tired, puffy eyes. It has illuminating pigments that give a wide eyed, more awake look and with the 360 degrees roller top it is easy to apply. This is the only eye cream I have used that you notice a difference straight away. I highly recommend it. This is €14 in most drugstores.


5. Lastly, sometimes if I have some nasty spots I use the Soap & Glory 'Dr.Spot' spot cream. This reduces the redness in spots straight away and have soothing effect on them too. It is a clear gel, so you can apply whenever or where-ever you please without a noticeable white blob on you spots making them stand out even more. This spot cream has witch hazel in it, which neutralizes the PH balance of your skin and also has vitamins A, C, E & B3 to stimulate circulation, brighten dark spots and exfoliates the skin. Good spot cream for them whoppers we all get now and again. It is just under €10.



So guys, that is my daily skincare products that I use. I think all these products are worth a try, I was not disappointed by any of these and will defiantly be buying them again when I run out.

I hope this post was OK and that you enjoyed reading it.

Please comment below with your thoughts or if you have any suggestions on any other skincare products you think I would like.

Thank you
