Beauty & Fashion - May Bank Holiday Weekend Look of the Night

I went out on the Saturday night of the May bank holiday weekend, so wanted to do a  blogpost about my look I was wearing that night. Why I've only got round to writing it up now, I don't know!

The play suit I'm wearing is from a boutique from my local town called Guna Nua (new dress in Irish, for my overseas followers!). Unfortunately, I got this play suit as a present a few months back so it's not available anymore (boo!). But I would highly recommend you ladies to check their Facebook page out here. I would love to buy all that is in their shop, put simply! The delivery is free to anywhere around Ireland and the UK too, and shipping worldwide isn't too expensive either (€8-10).

These metallic heels I have already mentioned in my previous fashion blogpost (flowers and metallics). I love them! This was the first night I had worn them, and they while my feet hurt at the end of the night, they're not overly uncomfortable to walk in. I got them in Penneys, reduced to €7 from €12.

The tan I was wearing was Cocoa Brown Day to Night tan. I've been meaning to finish off the blogpost reviewing this tan, and also the Cocoa Brown scrub, so hopefully that will be up on the blog very soon.

The make-up look is very natural, so it's very similar to other make-up routines I've used before. The only difference is I used Max Factor Skin Luminiser foundation (€15.99). This is my night-time foundation, because it is full-coverage, it just doesn't budge, and gives my skin a really flawless effect. My shade is in 40 Light Ivory. The smokey eye was created using Catrice Absolute Nude Eyeshadow palette (€5.49, Penneys), the liquid eyeliner used was Essence Liquid Ink Eyeliner (€2.49, Penneys) and the lipgloss is Catrice.

My hair is completely natural as well. This is my natural curly hair. No mousse, no gel, no nothing. This is the first time in ageeees it's been like this for nights out!

Hope you enjoyed this look! x

Fashion & Beauty - Flowers & Metallics OOTD

This quilted flowery dress is from Penneys a few years ago. It was actually in the reduced sales items rack, I forget the cost of it off the top of my head but I think it was only €5. It is originally a shift dress and is a size 12. As it looked baggy on me when I first tried it on, I put a belt around my waist, you can get a belt just like it in Penneys for as little as €2.

The tights are basic ones from Penneys, they're €3.

But onto the shoes. Oh my God! I would have never thought myself to be a shoe-girl but I'm absolutely IN LOVE with these shoes. I got them in Penneys (obviously!), for only €7! They were reduced from €16. I love them as they have a strap on them. I really struggle to walk in heels without a strap on them, so these are perfect, and while they are high, I don't feel they are that high. I mean, I am still heads and shoulders above most people while wearing them, but not crazy tall wearing them!

The black hat is from aliexpress.com, and I've worn it in many other blogposts, I love it. It was €6.

I actually did my make-up before sorting an outfit, and was randomly trying out some new products. I was trying out Boots Seventeen Skin WOW! 3 way Highlighter on my skin (review is to come on that product!), and then ended up trying out a look by a talented YouTuber called Shaaanxo, in which she wore gold eyes (I used Catrice Absolute Nude Eyeshadow palette, €5.49), and this purple lipstick. I know a lot of people wouldn't be keen on wearing this lip colour, but I actually really like it and felt like it went with this look so much. Both the purple lipliner and lipstick are both Primark (Penneys in Ireland) brand actually. The lipliner was only €1.50 and the lipstick was €2. They are both all kinds of amazing.

The other bits of make-up I used was Primark Beauty liquid foundation (€3) - another unbelievably good quality product for the price (see my review HERE); Boots Seventeen Define and Conquer Contour Kit (I've also reviewed this product - see HERE!), W7 Absolute Lashes mascara (supposed to be a dupe for Benefit They're Real! Lashes, blogpost on this is to come!), Essence Liquid Ink Eyeliner, and Primark Beauty browkit (review HERE).

My hair, if anyone noticed, was just freshly dyed the day night before I done this blogpost. It's really light blonde now, and I love it. There's often special offers on this ombré dye so definitely check it out! I've done a review on my personal hair care routine and how I got the ombré look HERE.
