Hello lovelies,

Wow where do I even start with Saturday night? Hmm well it all started months ago when I was nominated for the Best Beauty Blogger award as part of the Waverley Academy Annual Awards 2017. I was then contacted and told I was now a finalist which of course I was thrilled about. I was up against two other bloggers and I was so delighted to have made it through as a finalist. I had studied my ITEC Makeup qualification in Waverley part-time during 2014 and I loved it. I knew exactly what the course entailed as I had researched loads of different courses I knew this was the one I wanted to do to make a move into makeup.

So anyway back to the night...as it was a black tie event to be held in the Louis Fitzgerald Hotel, I decided to arrange all my usual beauty appointments to co-inside with the big night. Firstly it meant a trip to Zinc Hair & beauty in Kilmainham. I have been a client of Lisa's for at least two years now. I only go to Lisa an she has taken my hair from bad to brilliant using only the best products such as Olaplex & Moroccan Oil. I had red in my hair at Christmas time and now that the spring is here I decided it was time to rid myself of the red and only have browns in my hair from now on. Here's a fab before and after pic of my hair.



Next up was nails. As always I went back to Elaine's Beauty in Cornellscourt where I have also been attending for at least two years now. I wanted something neutral but still me with extra oomph so we found an idea off Pinterest and Elaine put her own spin on it as always. I love them and actually love them so much more now that I have tan on it's much easier to wear a nude nail with a little tan on your skin, although lets face it I'd say that about anything, I just love tan.



Speaking of tan, I decided to use bellamianta tan for the awards. I applied one layer Friday night and that was all I needed. My skin was a beautiful colour. I topped up some of tan with the bellamianta shimmer oil and it gave me a stunning sparkle. My hair I did myself and I'll be totally honest, the three small braid took me all of 10 mins and I used a babyliss wand curler the thick pink one just to give my hair a bit of volume. Easy peasy because I wouldn't be the best at my hair at all.

For an event such a this, it was the perfect time to use one of my Inglot vouchers I had gotten for my 30th birthday so I booked in with my fave Inglot lady Amy Mc Mahon in the Tallaght store. I requested Amy so I was thrilled to see her waiting for me when I arrived on Saturday at 2pm. I told Amy I wanted something really glam as I had changed my outfit and decided to  wear a black jumpsuit.


Oh the jumpsuit.. the amount of questions I had about my outfit I was floored. I'm not a fashion blogger, in fact I'd actually say I have quite shite style but this jumpsuit was bought last summer in Penneys for €16. The belt was a present last week from Justin's mum who was in Italy. My shoes, my beautiful shows were from Office. My little sisters got them for me in Jan so they could deffo still be in now. I'm hoping Penneys will bring out the jumpsuit again because I would 100% buy it in every colour it's so comfy.
