GLAM GLOW

Hey ladies Hope ye are having a good week. Wednesday is nearly over so the weekend is getting closer thank god! My new post is about the amazing glam glow super mud clearing treatment( The white one) I got a cousin of mine to pick it up in duty free for €37.50 normally between €50-€56. I have only used it 3 times and I LOVE IT. It's amazing and worth the money for sure. You apply it on clean skin with a make up brush I use a concealer brush. It goes on black and wet and drys grey. You can literally see it clean out your pores. You leave it on for 20 minutes and wash off then. My skin feels amazing when I use it and I have seen instant results from it. I will definitely be re purchasing this over and over again.

Disgusting but had to show ye it in action.. those are my pores being cleaned right before my eyes.. its unreal seriously.

That's all for now

Thanks for reading

Teeth whitening

Hey ladies

This post is about the iwhite teeth whitening pack. I got mine in the swag bag from marissa carter's masterclass in killarney. In the box you get ten pre filled gum trays 5 for the top teeth and 5 for the bottom teeth. It says to use for 5 consecutive days for the best results or every now and again to give your teeth a whitening if you are going out or going somewhere special. I was going to do it for 5 consecutive days but my daughter charley got sick on day 3 so I skipped a few days. I still seen instant results but I will definitely buy it again to do it for the 5 days in a row. What I liked about it was the trays were pre filled so there is no messing around with syringes and having to heat the trays to mould the shape of your teeth ect... I found my teeth to be a tiny bit sensitive after the first use but it didn't bother me and it went away quickly. I have very sensitive teeth so i was suprised they weren't more sensitive to be honest. Now as I said i didn't buy it but as far as I know it's about €30 and I feel it is well worth that price. I'll pop before and after pics below and ye can see the difference and when I get them again i will do it for the 5 consecutive days and show ye again. Keep in mind my teeth need a bit of work done to them but with my upcoming wedding next year i will be getting them done and I will definitely be using these in the run up to our big day..

These are the before and after pictures. I also want to try the toothpaste the next time.

This is what the box looks like marissa carter swears by them so if they are good enough for her they are good enough for me haha.

That's all for now

June loves and lusts

Hello ladies Hope ye are all well.. hope ye all had a great weekend. I went on a date night with my fiance last night it was lovely to go out just the 2 of us we hadn't done it in forever.!

This was me last night.

So sad about Ireland being beaten by France.. It was an unreal game and they couldn't have done any better. Im so proud of them and even prouder to be irish. Well as ye can guess by the title this post is about what I'm loving and lusting.

Loving:

1. My pippa pallette by blank canvas. I just love the way everything is in 1 pallette and everything is so pigmented and blendable.

A look I created using the pallette. Eyes contour blush and highlight are all from the one pallette.

2. This loreal shampoo and conditioner my hair is in bits from all the blonde but after using this for the past few weeks I can really notice a difference it's not as dry and knotted as it was and it feels so soft. I'd highly recommend them if your hair is in bits.

Unreal!!

3. This colour conditioner is amazing because the grey toner my haid dresser puts in my hair doesn't last very long I went on the search for something to use in between salon visits and it's amazing. I pop it on after shampooing and conditioning my hair for 10 mins with a shower cap over it and I shower away then and wash it off at the end of my shower it's a nice silver/grey tone I'm after going through 2 bottles already it's less than €10 for that size as far as I remember and I got it in flair in tralee.

Lusts:

1. Joanne larby's book (the make up fairy) fairy tales . I know I can buy it online but I love going into a shop picking up the book flicking through it quickly the smell of a new book gives me pleasure.. I'm cracked I know lol its not in easons killarney at the moment but ill be buying it once it is in.

2. The rose gold goddess body oil by marissa carter (coco brown) i have the original golden goddess body oil and I love it. The rose gold one is not available to buy yet but when it's in shops I will be on it like a car bonnet lol.

3. Another product by marissa carter  (coco brown) the shampoo, conditioner and shower gel range she brought out i can't wait to try them but I have yet to see them anywhere so when I do I will also buy them and I will let ye know what I think.. as I do with everything.

Parenting post...1 year on

Hey everyone. Our baby is nearly 1 and im just lying here reflecting on the past year. It has been an amazing year but hard.. VERY HARD not because of our beautiful girl charley she is amazing and we love her to bits but my mental health just wasn't right. I suffer from anxiety as most of ye know and just before we decided to try for a baby my mental health was the best it had ever been and all trough the pregnancy I was perfect too bar vomiting for the 1st 16 weeks and hardly being able to walk towards the end due to pelvic pain but we were excited to meet our baby that we knew nothing about yet. So on Wed the 1st of July 10 days early charley came into the world weighing 9 lbs 9 ounces (thank god she was early) haha. I lost 1.2 litres of blood I was very weak but over the moon  (of course) they were close to giving me a blood transfusion but didn't in the end. By saturday we were being left home and they were doing routine tests on charley before we were to leave and they found a heart murmur so she was sent for a chest x-ray and an ecg all of which were perfect but at the time I was in bits thinking the worst because I knew nobody with a heart murmur so didn't know how little of a deal it actually was. It has since dissapeared thank god. We came home and I was extremely weak and tired thank god for my fiancés mom my mom and my friends for the first week or so between staying with us or cooking dinners we were blessed and it's something we will never forget. I then ended up in hospital with an infection in my womb. A pain which I will never forget. I was lying in the hospital without my baby my other girl kaysey who was almost 7 at the time and my fiancé and all I wanted was to be at home with them so I spent most the night crying missing them but I was left out the next day thankfully. At home I was still very weak and found it hard to cope but slowly we were getting there. Then when charley was 5 weeks old around 8 in the morning we brought her into bed to stare at her because we still couldn't believe she was here when all of a sudden she started choking I picked her up and put her over my knee face down rubbing and slapping (gently) her back but it wasn't helping she was turning blue and we were starting to panick so we rushed her to south doc who were brilliant she was foaming at the mouth at this stage so they rang her an ambulance and started suctioning all the foam out of her mouth and put an oxegyn mask on her we were rushed to hospital but by the time we got there she was almost back to herself but was kept for 2 nights for observations I spent all that time crying too it was the worst fright we ever got but thankfully it turned out to be something small again she has silent reflux she was given different milk that thickens when it hits her stomach so it's harder to bring back up and she has been more or less fine since thank god but after she came out of hospital I was so afraid to be alone with her all I would do was worry about it happening again and I would cry constantly. It was so annoying and frustrating because at a time in my life I was supposed to be at my happiest I couldn't enjoy it. I was afraid to be alone with her so I would ring friends or family to stay with me while tim worked I then started getting nervous that I would hurt her and I would cry over that and I was afraid to tell anyone incase she was taken off me I felt useless and got really down over it and then started getting suicidal thoughts which scared the life out of me because if anyone knows me my biggest fear is dying.. so I thought this cant be normal I must be suffering from post natal depression so I went to my doctor and explained everything to her. She told me I was suffering from post traumatic stress disorder from the horibble delivery and my hormones and everything that had happened since she was born and I was given medication I used to take for my anxiety which helped me so much and im still on them but like my doctor said to me I was very aware of my feelings and emotions which was a great thing but now to get up and get on with it and it was the best thing she ever said to me I just had to work on getting better for my children's and fiance sake and my own sake. And it's been a struggle but I'm so much better now and can't honestly believe it's almost a year. Charley has brought so much joy to all our lives she's walking since she was 10 months and has loads of words already she's very clever and amazes us everyday. She adores her big sister and my fiancé. My poor fiance had an awful time watching me go through all that but it has brought us so much closer and we are planning our wedding for next year I can't wait to marry him he's the most amazing person inside and out. Why I'm telling ye this is because mental health is so important and without my family and friends I would not have gotten through the year so if you or someone you know is going through something there is help out there and things will get better I know there are alot worse off people than us but our experience was so frightening all the same.. onwards and upwards now though. I can't wait to see what the future holds..

Bank holiday madness

Hey ladies Hope ye all had a fab bank holiday wknd. I spent most of mine at the bikefest/tattoo convention in the Gleneagle hotel killarney. I brought my two girls out there on the Saturday and they had a great time it was roasting..... and the Sunday we were kid free so we went out there and i got a new tattoo.

I got a t for tim ( my fiancé)

This is my 9th now (slightly obsessed) we went out there for the night too and had a few too many drinks.. I was so hungover Monday.  My 1st proper hangover since before getting pregnant with our 2nd child who is nearly 1... I died..lol never again. But great wknd all the same..
I was given the cocoa brown 1 hour tan at the marissa carter masterclass so I said I'd try it out and it's fab it is practically instant and smells lovely it's the nicest smelling tan I have used so far. It went on so well too no streaks or anything and comes off just as easy I will definitely be using it all summer with my cocoa brown golden goddess body oil I did a review on that already i love it.

This is me wearing the tan.

I'm going to the closet clearout in the clarion hotel in cork on Sunday I can't wait to sell all the clothes and shoes I don't wear anymore and maybe find a nice staple piece or vintage piece and most of all just make space in my wardrobe. It's €35 for a rail but it all goes to concern Ireland so it's for a great cause and anything you make is your own after that. Justjordan is going to be there too so I can't wait to meet her again and bump this time.. cuteness of her like.

That's all for now
