Current Loves and Lusts

Hey guys hope ye all had a great weekend. I haven't done a loves and lusts post in months so it's long over due. So lets jump right into it.

LOVES

1. The Bbold contour & highlight pallette. It has 3 shades. Contour, Bronzer & highlighter. I love the bronzer the most and the contour also. I only use the highlight shade the odd time because i like my highlight to be seen from the moon and this shade is more of a natural highlight. This comes with a free brush and i love this too. Its the perfect shape and size for bronzing and sculpting those cheek bones. its €22.95 which is great considering you get the brush too. Most chemists have this. I picked mine up in the parkroad pharmacy killarney.

2. The Catwalk HQ tan remover. Trust me when I tell ye this product is a god send. You put it on over old stubborn tan and leave it for 10 minutes then exfoliate it with an exfoliating glove/mitt and rinse it off and it all just washes down the drain.. no better feeling I think personally. It smells lovely and leaves me feeling so soft and squeaky clean. I got mine in sewells pharmacy Killarney for €12.

3. The Luna by Lisa Jordan liquid eyeshadows are a dream. they come in 2 shades in the 1 box for €25. The 2 shades are Rose Quartz and Midnight Onyx. They are really easy to apply and they really glam up any eyeshadow look. I got these in sheehans pharmacy.

This is the rose quartz on x

This is the midnight onyx x

This is what they look like. They are fab x

4. The Sosubysj Vogue lashes are my new favourite lashes they are the ones in the marble boxes and they are re - useable I just love how much volume they give to my lashes and they completely transform my make up once I put them on. They are €12.95. I got mine in Bradley's pharmacykillarney.

This is them on i LOVE them x

5. I know i have talked about this already but the vera mona cake and bake sponge is LIFE if you don't have one you need it.. ill leave a link Here its sold out at the moment but will come back soon.

6. I LOVE this sample beauty pallette its the fiesta pallette they have different ones but i liked this one the most i have a few looks on my instagram using it ill leave a link Here and a link to buy the pallette Here its only £15

LUSTS

1. The plouise palette and base. I NEED these in my life but every time I go to buy them they are out of stock. They are meant to be insane £40 fot the pallette and £10 for the base i NEEEEED them like.

2. The new contour/highlight sticks from sosubysj look divine. I have her complete contour pallette already and i love shade 1 & 3 in that so i think i'd love the light & cool sticks.. €15.95 each and hitting shops the end of this month so cant wait to get my hands on them x also her tan is on the way. I was very kindly sent some to try for our wedding and i loved it so i need that again.

3. The new make up revolution concealers are meant to be AMAZING so i can't wait to try these too and they are so affordable at only €4.99. Take my money....

Thankfully my lusts list is alot shorter than my likes list this time. I have also started a youtube channel i have done 3 proper videos but the lighting in 1 of them is very bad but its all a learning curve so i can only get better i hope. Ill leave a link to it Here and ye can have a look if ye like.

Thats all for now

Luna By Lisa Jordan

Hey guys and girls. Its been awhile since my last blog post sorry for my absence i have started a youtube channel Here ( its still a work in progress) so it took up a bit of my time trying to figure it all out but im back with an exciting post. I have been using the Luna by Lisa Jordan miracle hair treatment for the passed 12 weeks now and it is AMAZING my hair was blonde for so long and in such bad condition even when i went back dark it was still in bits, that was until i picked up this amazing hair treatment. It claims to have 12 amazing benefits for the hair which you can find Here but the 2 that i have really seen for myself have been that it definitely repairs dry/damaged hair &  its an excellent detangler. My brush literally glides through my hair when i use it and iv two daughters who love it also for that reason. I get so many compliments on my hair lately about how good the condition is and its literally down to the Luna hair treatment and don't even get me started on the smell off it. It smells of coconuts it instantly makes me excited for summer when i spray it and its only €16 which is totally worth it in my opinion. Its one of those products i will be using in years to come. So go out and get it and thank me later.

I was nominated for an award for the connect kerry hair and beauty awards a few weeks back for the blogger of the year award and i won. I was in shock when they said my name i really didn't expect to win. Im at this 2 years now so its nice to be recognised for it. It was an amazing event i had such a great time. Thanks to all of ye who voted and who constantly support me.

That's all for now

Upcycling

Hey Guys how are ye??

I Hope ye enjoyed my last two blog posts. I really enjoyed writing them.

Onto the next one though and as ye can tell by the title its about upcycling. The zip yard Tralee contacted me about a collaboration and I jumped at the chance. They basically take your pre loved pieces and change them up to make them into a different piece and I have loads of stuff in my wardrobe I wont wear again but don't want to throw out and I'm sure its the same as most women so I was delighted to bring in a few pieces to chop and change. When I went over to the zip yard Stacey and all the team were so nice and more than helpful, They were telling me they also run a dry cleaning service so if anyone from the Tralee area is reading this pop in to the girls and they will take care of ye. So I brought in a few pieces that I love but was sick of and we decided on this sequin vintage jacket I picked up in mon amie Killarney a few years ago. Its since closed down but they had amazing pieces and a fabulous vintage section. I loved it before but OH MY GOD  I'm in obsessed with it now.

So we decided on taking off the sleeves and adding faux leather capped sleeves instead and I'm so happy with how it turned out it has transformed it so much. I can't wait to wear it now again. Let me know in the comments section below what ye think.

I don't have a price list but something like this would cost roughly €40 and I have a different jacket. OBBSESSED with it now and I look forward to working with the zip yard again in the future.

That's all on this post guys but I have also been nominated for an award for the connect Kerry hair and beauty awards I would love if ye could kindly vote for me please it only takes two minutes and I would really appreciate it ill leave the link Here

That's all for now

Thanks for reading

Our Wedding Part 2

Hey everyone I hope ye enjoyed my previous wedding post. I am going to go through a few more details on this post about our entertainment, cake, band and so much more so lets jump straight in.


Firstly our band were the 2 Mikes and family ties and I must say I hadn't heard of them before but Tim had and suggested them. We went to Causeway to see them 1 night because I wanted to know what they were like and I wasn't disappointed they had the whole room on their feet which is what you want for your wedding day. We went to a wedding fair the next day in the INEC Killarney and booked them straight away. The night of the wedding the floor was full from start to finish. There were 4 of them playing and they are gentlemen I couldn't recommend them enough.here is a link to their page


Next up is our cake. Oh my god I loved it and we really enjoyed the cake tasting that was the fun part haha. We went with chocolate fudge, raspberry and coconut, strawberry sponge and fruit cake in that order from bottom tier up I ordered it off Mandy Trant I order every occasion cake off her and have been going to her for years she is unbelievable at what she does no job is too big or too small for her.

                                                        here is her facebook page


I ordered a post box for the cards so people had somewhere to put them and  I knew they would be safe there also. While I was ordering it something else caught my eye and I had to have it

This is the post box and I thought it was a great idea. They are handmade so a lot of work goes into them and everyone thought it was a nice touch

Then this is the other item I was talking about. When I seen it I had to have it because we both have family members who have passed and we would have loved them to be there on the day so I thought this was  a great idea and again everyone loved it. I also ordered a Christmas eve box off them for my 2 girls and they loved it all 3 pieces were amazing quality.

ill leave their facebook page here

Next up are our beautiful flowers I went around to a few flower shops in Killarney and priced around. I went with white heather florists and Rima the lady that was dealing with me was so nice and helpful and she did an amazing job on our flowers. We got our bouquets for myself and the bridesmaids, the button holes for my husband and his groomsmen a throw away bouquet, our centre piece for the alter and 2 bouquets of flowers for our mothers they were all amazing. I got the church decorated by a different woman then she decorates it with hanging lanterns fake flowers an arch and a red carpet it was beautiful.  Rima white heather

This is just 1 picture of my amazing bouquet up close but they are in a few of the previous pictures and the bridesmaids ones too.

This was our amazing centre piece and I ordered the candles online from here they were amazing and the company were so helpful with other aspects of our wedding.

I then ordered these 2 pieces, a ring box & a sign for the miniature groomsman to hold as he walked up the aisle. I ordered them here I have ordered pieces from Sarah previously and they are always amazing.

My maid of honour ordered these glasses for the morning of the wedding here and they were a lovely touch I thought. I have also ordered from Amy before and she is amazing at her job.

so that sums up our wedding. Any questions don't hesitate to ask.

That's all for now.

Thanks for reading.

All my Love

Our Wedding

Hey guys.

Happy New year... i am well aware we are half way through January already but this is my first post of 2018. I took a bit of a break but im back.. and my very first post has to obviously be about our wedding. Im going to tell ye all about the day and share where we got everything incase ye have a wedding coming up. So firstly we had the most amazing day and i would love to do it all again.

When we set the date we were so excited!!! Myself my mom and mother in - law went to a wedding fair in  the The Brehon  and we went through the packages they had to offer and we were shown around the hotel we fell in love with the place. It was the only place i had looked so i rang my husband to come out and have a look. He basically said once your happy with it i am so that was that we booked it there and then and i threw myself into the organising it i enjoyed it for the most part, bar 1 or 2 hiccups but i think they happen everyone. The first thing i found and wanted were my shoes... i know what ye are thinking shoes before the dress... but i really wanted them. I originally wanted a different pair these one's but when i went to brown thomas in dublin they weren't there i cant find a link for the pair i got but ill leave a pic below. Next up was the dress. I went to 1 dress shop and it was the 3rd one i tried on and i knew instantly it was the one. I went in with an open mind and i tried on 5 different styles all together but went back to dress number 3. I got it in Unique boutique bridal castleisland dee is so nice to deal with and great craic, ill leave a pic below and i also picked up my veil there. We had 6 bridesmaids,  6 groomsmen and 2 flower girls that needed to be dressed so i thought up of colours and had a look through pinterest (your best friend while planning a wedding) then i ran them by my husband and we decided on wine dresses and navy blue suits and i must say the colours worked so well together. I picked up 5 of the dresses in Kates Kloset in limerick and kate was fabulous to deal with. She has a huge range of dresses so id highly recommend her shop. I got my daughters dress on wish would ye believe because she was 1 of the bridesmaids but is only 9 so i thought the dresses i picked out for the other 5 girls were too grown up for her. I got the flower girl dresses in Debenhams  they are now on sale. We then picked up the suits in Suits Select tralee we got 3 piece suits shirts belts ties/ dickey bows and shoes in there for all the boys at €199 a man which was handy to do it all in the same place. We were thinking of renting but you would be minding them all night then so we bought them as a present to the lads. The girls got their own shoes and i got their jewellery in The Killkenny Shop  my own jewellery was from keanes and their pjs for the night before in Heatons Stores and checked us all into the hotel the night before as a little treat with my mom and my 2 kids. I got myself my mom and the kids robes from Robes4you i will leave pictures of everything below and i will do another blog post in a few days about our invites, band, cake , flowers and everything else.

The brehon hotel and our cars were from Horans wedding cars

I fell in love with these. I love the cut and the inside is blue.

 Tan was from sosubysj its not out yet but she very kindly sent me some to try for our big day. I loved it

They scrub up well 😂

My mom bought my jewellery for me

Hair by Tara Boughen 

Make up by Michelle O Connor & Shannon Quirke

Fur stoles were tk maxx for the adults and dunnes for the kids 

My mom's outfit was from The moderne

I got the pjs printed by Dave in  Smartcustomwear and the robes came printed.

My something old was my engagement ring 

My something new was the jewellery

My something borrowed was my bag 

My something blue was the shoes

That's all for now 

Thanks for reading

Miss Fits Skinny Tea

Hey everyone.

Hope ye are all well.. sorry its been so long since i did a blog post but i have been up the walls planning our wedding its less than 5 weeks away... I CANT BELIEVE IT. This year has just flown by. The reason for this post however is #missfitskinnytea i was very kindly sent a 2 week supply of the tea and a 2 month supply of the D its their vitamin d supplement (we defo need this in ireland) and i was sent a 2 month supply of crave it neutralizes blood sugars so you dont crave sugar basically. So the tea is AMAZING it really helped me with bloating and now that im out of it i can notice the bloating coming back so im going buying it tomorrow because i need it back in my life. My favourite thing about it is its non laxative so your not running to the toilet after it. The D has definitely changed my mood and energy levels and i have dropped the dose of my anxiety medication to the mildest dose for the first time in years. As for the crave i cant say i notice much difference unfortunately because i just love and will continue to love chocolate. I will keep taking it though until its gone. Im on week 4 i should be on 5 but i missed a day here and there. So far so good for the D and the tea though. I can see myself using these forever more. I will leave a link to all 3 products and i would highly recommend the tea and the D i have noticed some positive changes from using them.

Do What You Love

Hey all

Hope ye are all well. I was saying on my Snapchat (lorzyloops2) and my Instagram (Lorz's Loves and Lusts) that I was thinking of giving up blogging because you only get noticed by brands if you have a HUGE following or money or if you buy followers which I certainly would never do. I just felt how would little old me from a housing estate in Co Kerry get noticed because this Instagram filtered world made me think like that and then the more I thought of it i thought back to why I started blogging and it wasn't to get noticed or anything it was a place to go to occupy my mind when I was suffering from PTSD after having charley and then the good response I got made me want to do it more. Now I buy and review most of my products I love doing that and I get some free products from the local pharmacy to test out which is amazing too. I got my first "blogger mail" from bperfect cosmetics recently and I was over the moon.. long may all that continue. Im not even doing it 2 years yet and when I look back it (and ye) definitely helped me get through the bad days and now that I'm back to myself I lost sight of all that. When I said i was going to stop doing it I got alot of messages saying not to because ye loved listening to me on Snapchat and loved reading my blog posts so I'm not going anywhere. I was just having a bad patch so onwards and upwards. Thanks to all of ye who do read my blog posts like my Instagram pics and follow me on Snapchat I love ye all and definitely wouldn't be doing this without each of ye.

Here's to the future of Lorz's Loves and Lusts!

That's all for now
