BODY SHAMING

Hey guys and gals

Hope ye are having a good week. This week beauty/lifestyle blogger Rosie Connelly has come under attack from a body shamer telling her she was disgusting and too thin and she shouldn't be promoting size 4 jeans I forget what else was said to her now but how does this person feel they have the right to tell Rosie what to do or has the right to even comment on her body.. she is naturally thin and she is healthy and happy isn't that all that matters? I'm a size 12- 14 at the moment and nobody has ever commented on my weight except for myself I was a size 8 all my life until I was about 22 then I started putting on weight and I hated my body for ages but iv learned to love all my curves stretch marks scars and imperfections.. they make me who I am today.. scars from operations and stretch marks from 2 kids 8 lbs 4 1/2 ounces and 9 lbs 9 ounces my beautiful body has been through hell and back and it's still working it's mine and it never gives up on me which is pretty amazing. Size 4 or size 24 who cares embrace it.. if your unhappy with your body then do something about it but only do it for you and nobody else especially not someone who's sitting behind a computer putting you down.. that says more about that person's life and unhappiness than it does about you. That's just my two cents on body shaming you do you and screw anyone else.. we are all beautiful.. have a great week everyone.

Then 

And now 

Happy in both! 

That's all for now

DUPE ALERT

Hey guys and gals

Hope ye are enjoying the fine weather in Ireland at the moment.. I am so excited to tell ye about this dupe because 1 of them is  €13.95 and the other is €33 so you will be saving yourself a few euros... and I don't know about ye but I'm all about a bargain. Soooooo without further ado.....

The note cosmetics extreme mattifying foundation and the inglot HD foundation are the exact same (in my opinion) they are both REALLY high coverage and matte which is what I look for in a Foundation because I'm oily and have large pores. The note 1 I wear is the shade 4 and has spf 15 I got it in kennellys pharmacy killarney but you can get it Here for €13.95 and the inglot 1 I wear is 76 and you can get it Here for  €33 I love both but they work the exact same on my skin so I will be buying the note 1 from now on. I love and use loads of inglot products so I will still continue to shop there but I'm so happy I found a dupe for 1 of my a favourite foundations... I hope ye enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed testing the products and writing this post..

Loves:

1. My new alluxe by rosie sunnies.. the beautiful rosie connelly brought out a sunglasses range and ch chemist tralee stock them so I picked up a pair last week and I love them. I went for the Fiji cat eye pair. They are so soft and the perfect size they have 400 uv protection I'll pop a link Here they are currently sold out but have a look at the rest I'm definitely buying more of them they were only  €15 as well..

Amazing x 

2. The isadora cover up Foundation & concealer in 1. It's an amazing full coverage foundation that lasts hours iv worn it on nights out and it hasn't budged I'll pop a link Here It's great for when I have breakouts too. It's roughly €20 and definitely worth it i was given mine by the fab girls is the park Road pharmacy killarney.

It's the one on the left. X

3. The penneys blend and cleanse make up sponge cleaner (I use it for my brushes too) it's AMAZING and it's only  €2.50 you can't go wrong for that.

Unreal x

Lusts 

1. The glam and co pressed glitter pallette... it looks UNREAL I already have 2 of the single glitter pots and I adore them so I need that pallette.. imagine all the looks I could create with it covered in glitter.

2. The suva beauty neutral necessity pallette... it looks amazing.. the colours just scream at me.. it's on trndbeauty.ie.

3. Jeffree star liquid lipsticks... I have been wanting these for ages so I'm going to pick 1 or 2 up soon.. they are on beauty bay...unicorn blood is my favourite so gonna try that first..

Tanning Thursday

Hey ladies & gents

Hope ye are all well. It's been ages since I have done a blog post I just lost my groove for awhile but I'm back.. and talking about a new tan I tried lately on recommendation from Lisa jordan (just jordan) her tan always looks amazing so she knows what she's talking about and I wasn't disappointed I bought the dark mousse and applied 2 layers got dressed and went to my friends baby's christening the tan was fab I loved it BUT it was even nicer the next day so I would definitely recommend putting it on the night before an event also the dark is very dark which I love but if your not into very dark go with the medium or Just don't apply 2 layers of the dark. It smelled funny to me when I was applying it but it didn't last which is great I hate smelly tans. I do find it VERY hard to take off but it fades nicely and not patchy which is ok. I got mine in Bradley's pharmacy for €25.

My verdict is get it it's amazing but very dark so go for the medium if you don't like it too dark and it stays on for ages but I LOVE it.

That's all for now

Current loves and lusts

Hey guys Hope ye are all well.. just a quick post of all my current loves & lusts... duh that's what the title says Lorraine haha.. so let's get right into it.

Loves

1. The inglot make up remover.. holy Mary it's the only thing that removes their 77 gel liner. I bought the liner set at Christmas and it came with the liner brush and a mini remover which is gone iv been literally sparing it.. because there is no inglot Store in kerry... I know I can buy it online but I prefer going into the actual shop and buying these things.

2. Lush bath products I only used 2 in the last few weeks I purchased them in Dublin and it was my 1st time ever in lush I know that's ridiculous but again they aren't in kerry.. come to kerry lush... I got the intergerlactic one and the unicorn horn bubbles 1 omg they were amazing I need more in my life a trip to Cork is defo needed for a browse in lush and inglot. 

3. Doing people's make up.. so I have started freelance make up from home or i can go to your home. But from the 25th of March I will be taking bookings in killarney pharmacy every Saturday for the summer. I am not a professional I am self thought but I love doing it so feel free to book in with me. 

Lusts

1. Lusting a nice body... if you have been following me for awhile you will know I'm getting married the end of this year and I obviously want to look unreal on the day. I haven't been happy with my body for a long time so now is the time to do something about it. I started personal training a week ago and eating healthy and I am down 4 lbs.. off to a great start and hopefully I keep going this way. 

2. So sue (suzanne jackson) is bringing out an eyeshadow pallette... take my money now like lol.. I love all her products so far I use them on myself and my clients and they love them as much as I do. I can't wait to see them.

3. L.A Girl HD foundation.. I have it ordered on pre order from trndbeauty.ie so I will definitely do a review on it once I get it. I have heard great things about it so far..

That's all for now
