This Weeks Likes and Dislikes August 15, 2010

Hey everyone,

I hope (as always) that ye are enjoying the weekend! I have been so bad to post this week. I would love to say that it was because I was on holidays (unfortunately not) but I have been such a busy bee this week that I  simply didn’t get the time. I hope to make up for this today though

Here are my week’s likes and dislikes:

Likes

• Random Acts of Kindness

Random acts of kindness are such a lovely thing. For instance, this week I went for a bit of a road trip (and fitted in a little bit of shopping, of course) but by the time I reached the car park it was jammers. I was just about to turn out of the car park when  lovely woman ran up to my car and told me to wait as she was going to be leaving the car park. Not only did she give me her car parking space but she also gave me her parking ticket, which had an hour of parking left. It was such a lovely gesture and really perked me up for the day. If you happen to be this woman and are reading this-thank you so much! I really appreciated it.

Sometimes I lose my faith in mankind, when people are unnecessarily rude to me when I am out and about, but this restored my faith. It made my realize that I don’t do half as many random acts of kindness as I should. However,  am going to rectify this when the opportunity arises.

• Bright Make-Up

Now, I don’t mean neon, in-you-face, luminous make-up when I say this. I simply mean a nice bright coloured pink lipstick or blusher. I was feeling a little blue the other day, and after putting on my GOSH velvet touch lipstick in timeless (107) and some of my lovely sheer, barbie-pink Smaskbox blusher and I felt so much better. Never under-estimate the power of bit of bright make-up to perk you up!

• Great new blogs to read

I love finding really great fashion and make-up blogs (particularly Irish ones) to read. I end up reading them start to finish-better than any glossy magazine

Dislikes

• Step-Up 3D

I had such high hopes for this film, given that I am such a huge fan of Step-Up 1 and 2, however I was really disappointed with this one!

In The Nude…. July 21, 2010

Bare Lips

I’m loving the whole nude lip trend seen in magazines and on celebrities at the moment. However, while I like the nude lip look, it’s a tricky one to pull off. I had tried it out a few times before, but I thought like I liked corpse and quickly wiped it off before showing my face in public.

Anyway, I thought that I would give it another go, after discovering a love of lipstick. I consulted Amy, Make-Up and Beauty blogger, for advice on a good nude lipstick, and ended up purchasing a GOSH lipstick (Shade-Darling). This lipstick has a lovely and creamy consistency but ladies be warned with this one-do not apply it to anything less than smooth and recently buffed lips, as most of the lipstick pigment tends to stick to the flaky bits on your lips. From experience, I can assure you it isn’t a good look!!

I think the key thing when trying this look it gloss.
