<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">It has been a while since I last blogged, I hope 2017 treats you all very well.</span></span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">2016 was a horrible year for so many, but it will hold a special place in my families heart forever…</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Just before Christmas 2016, David and I welcomed our beautiful daughter into the world</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">(A little sooner than we expected, if it wasn't a dramatic arrival we would have been shocked!)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">We chose not to really share our news until November when I was rather heavily pregnant. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I masterfully hid my baby bump by spending the last 3 months of my pregnancy taking photo tips from Mike and the Mechanics (Looking back, over my shoulder) so this news may surprise some readers who do not follow me on other social media platforms.</span></span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">My pregnancy was a little difficult, I was plagued with sickness but powered through. </span></span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I had the most beautiful birth plan ready to go but things took a turn for the worrisome and labour was induced.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I knew I would be okay, David was by my side every step of the way but I had a longing for my parents to be close by.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Giving birth was when I expected it would be, a tough days work.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I had the tunes of Annie <span style="text-align: center;">Lennox</span> (walking on broken glass, TUNE ) to help me through contractions. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I am a strong woman, I am big and my pain threshold is up there with the best of them, but at times I honestly didn't know how I was going to do it. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Moments after baby was safely delivered (by a group of absolutely amazing women) my parents walked in to the delivery room, despite every policy in the hospital the head of the labour ward allowed them in, I will forever be in her debt as it gave my parents the chance to meet their granddaughter mere moments after her birth. Pretty special.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; text-align: left;">People always say </span>there is <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; text-align: left;">no love like the love you feel towards your children, I suppose it is true but I have felt a love like this before, for my whole life really… </span></span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">This all consuming love is a version of the love I feel for her father. </span></span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">When I look at our baby, my heart feels like it could burst. When I see David, I get a similar feeling. </span></span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">When my parents unexpectedly walked through the doors of the labour ward, I had that same heart swelling feeling. I am extremely lucky. </span></span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">They are my favourite people. I hope my daughter and future children feel the same when they see me. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">When mum and dad walked in I wanted to cry my eyes out with joy, but I’ve recently discovered that when life changing events happen, I find it a little hard to truly express my feelings. </span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"></span></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Something so amazing as giving birth with the love of your life by your side, after almost losing him a year previously and then the two most amazing people you know walking through the doors….</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">It is too overwhelming.</span></div>
</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Words have always been my thing. If I cant verbalise it, I write it. </span></div>
</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">But even now, I don't have the appropriate words. Indescribable joy, pride and love. For my family. My entire and amazing family.</span></div>

</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">She is the ‘moving on’ people talk about. We will never forget what happened but she is our focus, our reason to get out of bed and see the light again. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Anyone who reads my blog knows I rarely, if ever post negative reviews. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I prefer to use my blog to spread positivity, Its just how I like to do things.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> However, I actually can not get over how disappointed I am with a few of my recent Lime Crime purchases.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg09LVVX9Eq-Q9ezIkpvLt8YaekUwJZLZhZw7NQMo5REL-4mtMvkHHEv4x2XQbyoBspBLVUS2z2C3BzW-9wcZswxwugw9OfdgwQZRr3XC_iFYqNbHtmdYPdpIXON44DOh08zJZjXASZwQ/s1600/IMG_0392.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg09LVVX9Eq-Q9ezIkpvLt8YaekUwJZLZhZw7NQMo5REL-4mtMvkHHEv4x2XQbyoBspBLVUS2z2C3BzW-9wcZswxwugw9OfdgwQZRr3XC_iFYqNbHtmdYPdpIXON44DOh08zJZjXASZwQ/s640/IMG_0392.jpg" width="480" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I hear you, I hear you!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">YES, I KNOW! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I know that Lime Crime has been dogged by drama and controversy in recent years, but I ignored all that and a few years ago, I decided to give Lime Crime a whirl. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I never had a problem and I loved the products that I tried, One in particular- </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The absolutely delicious Red Velvet from Lime Crimes much loved Velvetines collection.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;">A few weeks ago, I decided to repurchase Red Velvet as my original had just ran out.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;">When I was on the website a few others caught my eye and I decided to buy in bulk.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;">Being 100% honest, I am really, really disappointed.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Lime Crime Velvetines cost €18.13 a pop so you would be hoping to get your €'s worth.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU9LwhbF9-nwvWuvfRXFNp8acPikc29xupb1pflgW7iTR8ycQGA9bJIrLOguGOlGUxR3LFjywUxuirJOWxktDYueXx6JzWVHVYej9Op0Oq58mHo53w4oMtER5b5ZtQu9rOG1LbRubyDA/s1600/IMG_0394.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU9LwhbF9-nwvWuvfRXFNp8acPikc29xupb1pflgW7iTR8ycQGA9bJIrLOguGOlGUxR3LFjywUxuirJOWxktDYueXx6JzWVHVYej9Op0Oq58mHo53w4oMtER5b5ZtQu9rOG1LbRubyDA/s640/IMG_0394.jpg" width="448" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;">The Red Velvet I repurchased looks entirely different to the original. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;">I wish I hadn't thrown my first out as I could show you exactly what I mean, This shade is nowhere as rich and velvety as the original.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;">In my opinion this is a fairly watered down red in comparison. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;">Don't get me wrong, It wears well and still looks nice, but its just NOT the same. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;">I guess they may have reformulated it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;">Heartbroken!.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;">Next up on the not so wonderful list:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;"> 'Rustic'</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;">When I was purchasing it online, I just had to have it- It looked absolutely GORGEOUS and I read a few positive reviews saying the same.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiupvsoATo412prSpf0ujjAhfeLe2Et5-b86WNzKMhe_BQVie4C5DdBK-x9kuZxe0M5tS9k6txiCdqIGAjNoq-BgO_e69WB-8YDRBKNbuPV1Zs2pbF7eDOtFgXmUjHRckrzGHL8JrVERg/s1600/IMG_0395.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiupvsoATo412prSpf0ujjAhfeLe2Et5-b86WNzKMhe_BQVie4C5DdBK-x9kuZxe0M5tS9k6txiCdqIGAjNoq-BgO_e69WB-8YDRBKNbuPV1Zs2pbF7eDOtFgXmUjHRckrzGHL8JrVERg/s640/IMG_0395.jpg" width="404" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;">However on me, it looks a bit bland and not as striking. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;">Even after first time application it looks like it has been on the whole day, no vibrancy.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;">I've layered it up for these pictures and it still looks rather lacklustre.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;">On the Lime Crime website it is described as an 'earthy red hue' but I don't know how to describe it- other than 'just not what I wanted'. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;">Full disclosure, I know the picture quality on my blog isn't wonderful ATM as I am using my rather old iPhone, still searching through boxes for my camera and blogging bits.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;">Now on to the products I have tried and I love: </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;">'True Love'.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;">With a name like that how could I not like it?.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;">Like all of Lime Crime Velvetines, you can layer this colour up a little for a more intense pink.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;">For a day time look, I decided less is more so this is the result of only one application.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;">True Love is described as having a beautiful Pinky Red hue, and it lives up to it. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;">It really colours your lips like a pretty rose bud.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="text-align: left;">I really like it, Its more subtle than most of my usual </span>lipstick shades, Its a lovely change.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Something Wicked this way comes!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">No, not Macbeth, I am talking about</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">'Wicked'</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">When I added this to my basket, I wasn't sure I would actually like it, at all.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB7kaivbfiZncFmA8kvrl4MhGph13oTudVO9Bu11XM6vkvkGlqsI92nZALwhfQf07PVES5Byp3lv37l8FbcYtwnybs25O5dCPky-iycpAwWqXrX7zkv1lpU7euomT2IDd1qq4SELvgJw/s1600/IMG_0366.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB7kaivbfiZncFmA8kvrl4MhGph13oTudVO9Bu11XM6vkvkGlqsI92nZALwhfQf07PVES5Byp3lv37l8FbcYtwnybs25O5dCPky-iycpAwWqXrX7zkv1lpU7euomT2IDd1qq4SELvgJw/s640/IMG_0366.jpg" width="512" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Mainly because I didn't think I would be able to pull it off.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> It is a Deep blood red hue, And it is absolutely gorgeous. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I would usually never touch this shade with a bargepole but I am glad I tried it, it is beautiful.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">At the minute I am very lazy when it comes to make-up, I cant recall the last time I actually applied eyeshadow! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I wear my usual black liner and rely heavily on lipstick to pull the look together.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Wicked is my absolute favourite of all the Velvetines, still does not replace my original Red Velvet, I am sure I will get over it, at some point.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Finally I tried out the pretty 90's inspired</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">'Blondie'</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;">Blondie is absolutely deadly, pictures do not do this lipstick any justice.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;">It is so unlike me, which is why I love it!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;">When I first put this on, all I could think about was my childhood love for Jem and the Holograms.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;">I now have a serious want for Pale Pink hair and a sudden need for gigantic pink star earrings.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: left;">Truly Outrageous!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">A few months ago I was reading about all the Jeffree Star drama, Make-up sweetheart Kat Von D called JS out on Instagram, she then released a youtube video giving her reasons why she was disassociating herself from JS.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I've never liked Jeffree Star, I was a little stunned to hear he had a make up range and it was doing so well, I remembered him from his Myspace days- While Jeffree looks deadly I always found everything about JS and the ever-growing brand to be abrasive and extremely rude and a little creepy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">One of my favourite bloggers, Sera from the Style Guide Blog posted a brilliant review about the drama (which you can read <a href="http://www.thestyleguideblog.com/2016/07/whyillneverbuyintoJeffreeStar.html" target="_blank">HERE </a>)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Sera also shared her personal views on Lime Crime and why she will never buy from them. Sera includes a pretty hefty link filled with all the shady Lime Crime facts. Not so sweet!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">While I didn't listen at the time, after chatting to a few people about Lime Crime and my disappointment with my purchases, I have to say, I don't think I will be rushing out to buy from Lime Crime any time soon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Have you had a good or bad Lime Crime experience? Let me know!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">If it wasn't for my dear friend Lily, I would not be writing this blog post so HUGE thanks to Lily for making this possible.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Lily kindly sent me over a Bloodwine kit after I missed out when the Pat McGrath website went into meltdown on the day of release.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I first saw the beautiful images of Bella Hadid & company walking down the catwalk of the Atelier Versace run way in Paris on Twitter, my glamour loving eyes lit up.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">After a little research I heard the glitter lips were the creation of the amazing Pat McGrath, I had to get my paws on Lust Kit 004 and I am so glad I did. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">DIVINE.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Pat McGrath has been named THE most influential make up artist in the world and its not hard to see why- her make up looks are mind blowing.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">This Lust 004 kit in Bloodwine kit contains two lipsticks, one vinyl lip gloss, one pot of blood glitter and one pot of gold pigment.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I am going to blog about the metallic gold pigment and the clear vinyl gloss tomorrow because it is just AMAZING and deserves a post of its own.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I absolutely get that a glitter lip is not everyones cup of tea, I would wear one every day if i could get away with it!</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">So if you hate the idea of glitter lips, I can assure you the lipsticks on their own are absolutely gorgeous and superior to most in their quality and wearability.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">In the above picture I am wearing Blood 1 Lipstick.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Blood microfine glitter is a pleasure to use.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have created my own version of a glitter lips in the past, using Barry M glitter (which is pretty good but rather coarse) and also with M.A.C glitter, which is a step up from Barry M but nothing can top Pat McGrath's Blood microfine glitter.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I pressed the glitter over Blood 1 but I didn't add the gloss for a matte look.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now I am no runway model but putting on a glitter lip and blogging about it made me feel absolutely deadly. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">There is something about playing with glitter that fills you with a childlike glee- </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">money can't buy that kind of lovely feeling.</span></div>

<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is the Blood glitter worn over Blood 2 which is my absolute favourite.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I am usually not too much of a dark lip fan. The glitter gives it a whole new life of its own.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;">CHANEL, another of my great loves.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 14px;">I would say almost every household in Ireland has a bottle of Chanel N°5 </span><span style="font-size: 14px;">hidden away by</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 14px;"> someones Granny, Mammy or sister to be kept for good. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;">Chanel N°5 is an iconic scent, almost everyone I know has a story about either loving or loathing the scent.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;">I personally LOVE Chanel N°5 but it is strong scent and I know it gets mixed reactions.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;">Last week I was rather unwell, I ended up in hospital for a few days. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;">As a ‘get well soon’ gift my lovely finance bought me a few CHANEL treats. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;">What a man.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="text-align: left;">I first smelled the newest fragrance in the Chanel N°5 family, </span><span style="text-align: left;">L’Eau a few weeks ago (when I decided to spray myself quite liberally in Brown Thomas)</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;">From the second I smelled it, I absolutely adored everything about it. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;">L’eau has all the hallmarks of the slightly more mature Chanel N°5 but with a lighter, fresher more youthful scent. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;">As I was buying a face cream on the day of my liberal spraying, the lady on the counter gave me a little sample.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;">CAN WE PLEASE JUST. LOOK.AT.THE.CUTENESS!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;">Anyway back to the perfume!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;">As I was saying, L’Eau is the latest fragrance in the legendary Chanel N°5 line.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;">I know it is available to buy online but if like me, you like to try before you buy, you can head into Brown Thomas or Debenhams now to give it a whirl.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 14px;">I am not sure if Boots have L'eau in store </span><span style="font-size: 14px;">yet</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 14px;"> but Boots are usually fairly great at stocking up on Chanel so expect to see it inshore soon!</span></span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="text-align: left;">I have worn it every day since David bought it and I have no got tired of the </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">smell, its quickly turning into a favourite, a little early to make such a claim but there we go!</span></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">L'eau has a very elegant scent, as if you would expect anything less from a brand like Chanel.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;">Chanel N°5 L’Eau has top notes of lemon, mandarin, orange, neroli, and aldehydes. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;">The heart of the scent is made up of rose, ylang-ylang and jasmine with a base of cedar and white musk.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you have read my blog before, you will know I am hopelessly in love with all things Agent Provocateur.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">From a rather young age, any spare cent I had would go towards saving for things that I could tick off my ‘Glamour’ list:</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> MAC Ruby Woo lipstick, MAC Cork and Shroom eye shadows, Hold ups from Agent Provocateur (always wanting more) and ridiculously high heels.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I can not tell you the absolute delight I felt the first day I walked into Brown Thomas’ long gone Agent Provocateur boutique and bought my very AP bra...</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I mean it took me five years to purchase the matching briefs but that is not the point! </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">To this day I still look at that set of lingerie and it brings me so much joy. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am giving you this little AP back story because if it isn't obvious by now, for as long as I can recall, I have been absolutely in love with all things Glamorous. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Its what makes me, me.</span></span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When I heard AP were bringing out a line of lipsticks, I just knew I had to try. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; letter-spacing: 0px;">A few weeks ago, I was invited along to the launch party of Organic Surge. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; letter-spacing: 0px;">I was given a gift bag filled with goodies to try out and see what I think. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I have been loving the products so I thought I would share my thoughts with you and give you all the good news about Organic Surge.</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4uXD3KbZPhcTKdM-xElgw4WZ-IGt2R36MAiwvw7OeTJbQjbls0fyBPQjRMLywAOxaT9Q4ovP4TDo7igYPv57eVVMBUQF6uFQVruX_7ocSOV9Xx34mjrksVFzxeDaIvgT0N7e6S25I-g/s1600/FullSizeRender+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="540" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4uXD3KbZPhcTKdM-xElgw4WZ-IGt2R36MAiwvw7OeTJbQjbls0fyBPQjRMLywAOxaT9Q4ovP4TDo7igYPv57eVVMBUQF6uFQVruX_7ocSOV9Xx34mjrksVFzxeDaIvgT0N7e6S25I-g/s640/FullSizeRender+6.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div>

I am not a woman for jargon- </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">so when I heard Organic Surge steer clear of all parabens, artificial perfumes and colorants it was enough to sell me on their products. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I really dislike finding a product I love only for perfume to destroy it all and make my eyes water.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">All Organic Surge products are Ecocert certified and contain a minimum of 96% naturally derived ingredients. Whats not to like?.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;">We all want glowing skin but we don't want to break the bank to achieve it- this is where Organic Surge excels, the products are so affordable for what they are. The serum may seem pricey but you need so little, I foresee it lasting a very long time.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;">In my opinion, organic surge will soon be knocking stripes off their competitors </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">To remove my make up, I have been using the Organic Surge refreshing face wash RRP €7.99</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; letter-spacing: 0px;">The face wash has 100% organic lather which is just divine, have you ever picked a daffodil and felt that sappy, slimy texture that exudes from the stem? The face wash's texture reminds me of…now that I see that in writing it absolutely sounds repugnant but I can tell you without any hesitation it feels AMAZING on your skin.</span></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Organic Surge Brightening Hot cloth cleanser RRP€18.99<br />
without a shadow of a doubt this is my favourite product.<br />
I apply a small amount onto my skin.<br />
I take my time and massage it into my skin as the massaging action stimulates blood flow helping to achieve that sought after glow.<br />
The cleanser is enriched with damask rose oil to which also stimulates and hydrate skin cells. Once you have rinsed your skin with a warm water and a cloth, your skin is left feeling moisturised thanks to the shea butter and rejuvenated thanks to the orange peel- this stuff is seriously sumptuous.</span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">It is with great sadness I write this blog post.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">On the 13th of November in Paris life changed irrevocably.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I am healthy and alive, unlike 89 other beautiful people who enjoyed what was a fun night at the Bataclan.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Terror stole their futures. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">130 lives lost in total.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">David's love and bravery saved my life. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">He shielded and protected me from certain death.</span></div>
</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I didn't understand the meaning of heartbreak until I witnessed such brutality. </span></div>
</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">With every shot, I lost something inside me. </span></div>
</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">The world looks very different to me now, but I am lucky enough to have my life, the ability and determination to rebuild myself. </span></div>
</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">We feel what must be only a fraction of the heartbreak the families who lost their loved ones that night feel.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">That feeling can sometimes feel unbearable. </span></div>
</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Our thoughts remain with them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">We will never forget.</span></div>
</span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">My sincere thanks to everyone who made the effort to contact us (by any means).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">We have been shown light during the darkest time of our lives. </span></div>
</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Calls, texts, flowers, letters, gifts, prayers, poems… The generosity of strangers, the love of our families and the kindness show to us, I can not find the words to express my thanks.</span></div>
</span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Our heartfelt thanks, love and appreciation to our friends in Paris, without whom, I'm not so sure we would be here today. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">My beautiful girls- I love you so much. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Our sweet and caring boys and our dear Doctor, you and your wife began to rebuild our hope the second we met you.</span></div>
</span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">David grows a little stronger every day. He is an incredible man and I am honoured to know him.</span></div>
</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">It will be a long road to recovery for him, but I do not doubt his determination for one second.</span></div>
</span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Please, if you have not already, watch this BBC News Night Documentary David and I took part in.</span></div>
</span><br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I find it hard to explain what it was like, people ask and I sometimes draw a blank.<br />
</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">We have so many people to thank, I will find a way to do so. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">In time, a luxury I have been afforded.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><br />Last year, I took part in an RTE documentary, Maia Dunphy’s what women want.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I had a very </span>negative<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> view of myself and no matter how hard I tried, I </span>couldn't<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> find anything nice about myself.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 11px;">If you fancy having a look, you can do so </span></span><a href="http://www.rte.ie/player/ie/show/maia-dunphys-what-women-want-30002438/10470621/" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;" target="_blank">HERE</a><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px;">In my segment, we talked about my self perception and my extremely negative body image.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px;">Sitting beside Maia, I felt I </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;">shouldn't</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px;"> really be there talking about this- I have a BEAUTY BLOG! People assume I am confident in the skin I am in- Does feeling like this make me a fraud? I had a million thoughts racing around in my </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 11px;">head.</span></span><br />

<br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px;">After our chat, I was led into a big room where I was asked to describe myself to Court illustrator Mike O Donnell. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px;">We were separated by a screen and I had to do my best to describe my face as honestly as I could.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 11px;"><br /></span></span>
<br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px;">
I was then taken away and given an intense session with Natasha Fennell, a confidence coach with Stillwater.ie</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px;">
What Natasha discovered was that I really take peoples perception of me to heart, I want to please people and cant stand the idea of people not liking me. I never want to let people down and I am an extremely self conscious person. </span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px;">
During my session with Natasha I learned to look at myself with kinder eyes. </span></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px;">I pushed past my negativity and I overcame my self doubt. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px;">I had been blocking myself from going forward for a very long time and learned to LIKE myself and see the good in myself.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 11px;"><br /></span></span>
<br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px;">
I was taken back into the room and had to describe myself again to Mike.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px;">
The change was instant, as he was asking me about my features it became clear I stopped looking at myself in such a judgemental light. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px;">I was able to look at myself with kinder eyes.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px;">
The before and after pictures were very different. It was strange to see the images side by side as an hour earlier I would never have been able to see the positives. </span></span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px;">
What Women Want was a wonderful experience and I am so thankful to Maia for making such brilliant documentaries. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px;">My life has been changed for the better, Anytime I notice self doubt creep in, I breathe in and remember the techniques Natasha taught me.</span></span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px;">
I'm quite a nice girl and I am happy with my lot in life.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Yesterday I attended the County Louth Agricultural Show 2015.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: left;">Last year my mother and I had such a ball that there was no way I would miss it this year.</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: left;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: left;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On Saturday afternoon my boyfriend and I drove from our new home in Cork to County Louth to be sure of attending the show the next day.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: left;">While standing looking at a particularly pretty heifer and waiting on my boyfriend returning with a massive ice cream cone, I was approached by a lovely lady to ask me if I would enter the best dressed lady event. </span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am usually a fan of dolling up but yesterday it was so warm I went with a relaxed look.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I wore an all white look with a blush lace coat to keep the sun off my skin.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My Glam Mamma pushed me to accept so I (and the event organiser) insisted she join me in the line up.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mums a glamorous little lady and looked beautiful so it was only fair she enrol.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">To cut a long story short- I won! </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I received a beautiful bunch of flowers and a half day at the Carrickdale Serenity Spa!</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I must admit I am absolutely thrilled. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I never win things and I would never in a million years enter a ‘best dressed’ event. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It took a little push but it was a real confidence boost and well worth the red face!.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; letter-spacing: 0px;">A few years ago, my blog reached a wider audience thanks to the beautiful Dita Von Teese tweeting about 'What Katie Healy Did'. </span></div>
<div style="color: black;">
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">One morning I received a charming email form a wonderful lady called Sarah Gardner wishing me every success. </span></div>
<span style="color: #404040; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I </span>remember<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> how that email made me feel so positive, It filled me with confidence and happiness.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; letter-spacing: 0px;">From that small act of kindness, I knew Sarah was a lady I wanted to keep in contact with.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; letter-spacing: 0px;">Through Instagram I soon realised Sarah was a lady of true glamour, beautiful inside and out.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; letter-spacing: 0px;">Not only is she a great person, she just so happens to be a creator of some of the prettiest jewellery I have ever seen. </span></div>
<div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; letter-spacing: 0px;">This is where Garland Row excels. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; letter-spacing: 0px;">I first fell in love with Garland Row’s beautiful diamond star stacking rings.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; letter-spacing: 0px;">I decided to order myself one to mark a poignant moment in my life.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; letter-spacing: 0px;">I chose this 9 ct White Gold Diamond star</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Garland Row's beautiful little creations come from a luxurious boutique in Sydney's, Paddington. Each jewel is made by hand from the open workshop on site.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="text-align: left;">A few weeks ago Newbridge silverware surprised me with </span><span style="text-align: left;">a gift from their new eShe collection.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;">Newbridge eShe range is a fusion of tribal and ethnic tradition with modern flare. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;">The collection is bright, bold and indeed beautiful.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;">I was sent this stunning gold tone cuff with a beautiful faux leather coral backing.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I usually stay away from gold coloured accessories, its just a habit at this stage, I tend to lean towards silver and platinum, occasionally rose gold.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It is not something I would have picked it up for myself, but I am glad they sent me it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Everywhere I go, I receive compliments about my unusual statement cuff. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;">The really great thing about this cuff is that you can dress it up or down. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;">I like to wear mine casual with my trusted leopard print dress to spice my look up a little.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Realising I need more space in my luggage for all the shoes I pack yet never wear, made me whittle down my make up bag essentials.</span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">At first I was not blown away with this cream, </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I didn't see what all the fuss was about and at €90 I found the results were just okay. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">However, after repeated use I have noticed a marked improvement in my skin. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">My skin looks a little plumper and not as dull as it was a few weeks ago.</span></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I use a teeny tiny amount of this cream, I was recommended to use a pea size but even less will do, otherwise this cream can ‘ball’ on your skin and mess up your foundation.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; letter-spacing: 0px;">I love black clothes, I always have and always will… it has been a very long, dark love affair for me but I have slowly started to branch out a little and take a few more risks. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">If you too are a fan of all things black it can seem very daunting to try something so different. </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">You will automatically think ‘this doesn't suit me’ but trust me, once you get used to it you will love it. </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Black is chic and trustworthy but once in a while, its nice to mix things up a little.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; letter-spacing: 0px;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Recently I have been channeling my inner snow queen, White dresses, shirts and trousers galore, I love to team them with nude lips & shoes accented with gold accessories and dashes of pink or beige. </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I want everything I wear to look crisp and clean. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; letter-spacing: 0px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; letter-spacing: 0px;">Today I bought a really cool outfit in River Island and thought I would share it with you in a quick outfit post.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; letter-spacing: 0px;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrKkOPKlbsVO_OhDIWoZjVqPBsti7-NfWdVQrwaQXRlT8VoAB2UfDzeCVAwF9GuV-jEK5_V6IVW2g7Ml8pD58kui7dfjBk9CwELCsE4hfeHhVdd68jDmgvSL_EtOnFqm7v8nJpi1U08w/s1600/IMG_20150506_150258.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrKkOPKlbsVO_OhDIWoZjVqPBsti7-NfWdVQrwaQXRlT8VoAB2UfDzeCVAwF9GuV-jEK5_V6IVW2g7Ml8pD58kui7dfjBk9CwELCsE4hfeHhVdd68jDmgvSL_EtOnFqm7v8nJpi1U08w/s1600/IMG_20150506_150258.jpg" /></a></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">
I find the light pink top really compliments the white faux leather skirt, it warms up my outfit beautifully.<br />

You can but this look in stores currently or pop on line! <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you follow me on Instagram you may have noticed I have taken a step back from my everyday red lip and winged liner, instead replacing red with nude lips. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Don't worry, I have not turned my back on all this Glam! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I find nude lips can look so chic and pretty (also it makes my boyfriends life so much easier when I don't wear red 24/7!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;">Thanks to likes of Kylie Jenner nude lips have made such a come back its a trend that almost all of us bloggers have tried! It can be hard to find a good nude for pale skin but with this NYX beauty, I have found my shade.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I wear NYX NUDE (MLSO1) Matte Lipstick.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is a mid tone peach and it suits me down to the ground. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;">You can dab it lightly on for a soft look as seen in the top picture</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;">OR</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;">you can apply generously for a popping peach lip (see below)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I love the texture of this lipstick, unlike most matte lipsticks this does not dry your lips out.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">However I would recommend exfoliating and moisturising your lips well before applying this lipstick to avoid dry, chalky looking lips.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;">At €7.49 this lipstick will not break the bank and it will last you a long time. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I bought my NYX lipstick in my local pharmacy but you can buy online <a href="http://www.sammccauley.com/category/nyx-cosmetics/2224.17.15">HERE</a></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
As you know by now, I do not need an excuse to buy myself a dress... But as it happens, over the weekend I turned 27. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used my 'Birthday Money' to treat myself to a pretty dress.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On Friday I saw this beautiful Black Lace Overlay Bandeau Pencil Dress, I picked it up to try on... and never wanted to take it off ever again!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I adore this dress.</div>

Its comfortable, stylish, sexy and slinky - everything a good dress should be!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wore the dress out to my Birthday dinner with my Boyfriend and Family, It was just perfect for the occasion. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This dress was eighty euro, I know for certain I will get the value out of it as I already have another event to were it to!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Halloween is coming...and when I brush my teeth the sink turns black!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A few weeks ago I was asked if I would like to try out a cool new black toothpaste.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The little goth inside me was DELIGHTED and tickled at the idea of washing my teeth with something in my favourite shade so I said yes!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For the last three weeks I have been brushing my teeth with a black toothpaste- Beverly Hills Formula 'Perfect White Black'</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">They also sent me a cute little travel toothbrush kit which was lovely.</span></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigSwac1IT1NlPitjSFsvM3eMizDpYC_9nzcYMj9aAGE4wDt3mv17-Reeq4Z4VrnbSPGZNqEmoQAnk3E_Ze0aKCAGwt1MWlXJW9uZ0ubTLrxZ_7mNdomByEpiMnqpApRpMjraNPjI0QCA/s1600/P1260154.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigSwac1IT1NlPitjSFsvM3eMizDpYC_9nzcYMj9aAGE4wDt3mv17-Reeq4Z4VrnbSPGZNqEmoQAnk3E_Ze0aKCAGwt1MWlXJW9uZ0ubTLrxZ_7mNdomByEpiMnqpApRpMjraNPjI0QCA/s1600/P1260154.JPG" height="232" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;">Perfect White Black uses activated charcoal (carbon) which not only helps brighten your teeth, it also fights plaque and eliminates bacteria that causes bad breath and gum disease.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyVtla1bOhDKsV81aVAnn2NOe3AuwsS66E6f9dObMM6Splnqt7qlW3X6w4-o6pSAV4pH4Mil45h-yMV-q6dnqccLkWHquZEM-d6TJCjXKYrLuOrCdYyfWZ-BttQgh6SKYwntiOARfUEA/s1600/P1260190.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyVtla1bOhDKsV81aVAnn2NOe3AuwsS66E6f9dObMM6Splnqt7qlW3X6w4-o6pSAV4pH4Mil45h-yMV-q6dnqccLkWHquZEM-d6TJCjXKYrLuOrCdYyfWZ-BttQgh6SKYwntiOARfUEA/s1600/P1260190.jpg" height="380" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="text-align: left;">Perfect White Black helps whiten your teeth thanks to the the activated </span>charcoal which helps remove tannins from the surface of your teeth...eh wha?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Basically, tannins are the compounds found in all the yum food and drink we love such as tea, coffee, wine, berries and spices.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The activated charcoal in the toothpaste helps remove those pesky tannins from the surface of your teeth without harming the enamel. Grand so!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;">I do not bleach my teeth and I don't use whitening strips, I know many beauty bloggers do so its a little daunting to be showing you a close up of my Perfect White Black brightened teeth!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">If you follow me on twitter (</span><a href="http://www.twitter.com/whatkhdid" style="letter-spacing: 0px;">@whatkhdid</a><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">) or </span>Instagram<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> (</span><a href="http://instargram.com/whatkatiehealydid">WHATKATIEHEALYDID</a><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">) you may have noticed that over the winter I </span>bought myself <span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">quite a few dresses.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; letter-spacing: 0px;">I am so excited to start wearing them all!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Starting with this dreamy rose print, fishtail number by </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Lipsy V.I.P.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I love this dress, it flatters my figure rather well and it is not too low cut- Perfect for weddings!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Do not get me wrong, I love low cut dresses but they have a time and a place.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">It is sometimes hard to tell if the sky in Ireland is blue...sometimes the sky is so black it looks blue.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">There's a lesson to be learned from that: a</span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> coat is an absolute MUST HAVE for any summer event in Ireland.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I didn't want to hide my beautiful dress under something frumpy so I opted to wear my beautiful Lady Petrova ‘Wonderland’ coat <a href="http://whatkatiehealydid.blogspot.ie/2014/05/lady-petrova.html">(full review can be read here)</a>.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I think the coat compliments the dress and really brings out the pink of the rose print.</span></span></div>

<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">When wearing such a pretty </span>outfit<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">, I like to keep my make up simple, no liner no lipstick.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">To ‘jazz’ myself up a touch, I usually add a hair slide. </span></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="color: #606060; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">My whole life I have been inspired by Old Hollywood Glamour. Impossibly strong, elegant woman in control of who they are and what they look like.<br />I found it impossible to emulate my idols, why was it I found myself wrapped in a bulky fluffy gown and not a slinky little number whilst getting ready for a night out?.</span></div>
<div style="color: #606060; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I was unable to source 'lounge wear' that was of a high quality and in any way affordable. </span></div>
<div style="color: #606060; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I wanted to feel glamorous but I was failing, miserably.</span></div>
<div style="color: #606060; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">One night, browsing the Internet I stumbled across Betty Blue’s Loungerie- <a href="http://bettybluesloungerie.com/">Website HERE.</a><br />
I was giddy with excitement browsing through the beautiful robes, teddys, nightgowns and slips. The wonderful </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Betty Hobcraft designed Betty Blue’s Loungerie for people like me- </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">women who like to dress up even when they’re dressing down!.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #606060; font-family: Lucida Grande;"><span style="font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0px;">
I purchased the original Nell Robe and soon after that the rather gorgeous Bettie Robe, as you can see I just </span><span style="font-size: 14px;">casually</span><span style="font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0px;"> lounge around the house.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #606060; font-family: Lucida Grande;"><span style="font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0px;">Betty Blue’s is a brand I love and lust after.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #606060; font-family: Lucida Grande;"><span style="font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0px;">
The Nell range stops my heart, Mainly the teddy and dress slip, I wont stop till I own it!.</span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">S</span><span style="color: #606060; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0px;">o with that little back history, it excites me greatly to announce that Betty Hobcraft is extending into bridal lingerie with a sister brand, Betty Bridal!</span></div>
<div style="color: #606060; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 14px; min-height: 17px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Betty Bridal will premiere in September with their 2014 Autumn/Winter collection. Transforming the best of Betty Blue’s </span>Loungerie<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">, the bridal collection will include the most sought after designs in delicate white and ivory silks and satins perfect for the wedding and honeymoon. Betty Bridal will bring out the inner Hollywood starlet of any bride, though in my humble opinion you don't need to be jetting off on honeymoon to want to wear the stunning designs, I am a great lover of Ivory silk so it is inevitable Katie makes a purchase! Here's a little taster of things to come, I am showing you the Nell Bridal range and the Bettie Bridal Robe.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0px;">Last week I was lucky enough to be invited to the wonderful Closer2fabulous studio in Dublin where I met Philip Luque, International Makeup Artist for Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics. </span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0px;">T</span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0px;">he perks of being a beauty blogger, eh?.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0px;">It was brilliant, Philip gave me advice on trends and introduced me to new Youngblood products. </span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0px;">It was like any other Wednesday and then I suddenly (& unexpectedly) fell head over heels in love with a mineral cosmetics brand, to the degree of embarrassment really. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12.6px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0px;">
With each new product Philip handed me to play with, I let out little sighs and squeaks… no really! </span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0px;">On THREE occasions I was shown products I have always wanted to own but they simply didn't </span><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;">exist. </span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0px;">A blusher I think I want to marry, the most perfect pearly pink, a </span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0px;">highlighter so pigmented I will finally live my dream, skin like a frikin’ pearl </span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0px;">& a</span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0px;"> lipstick the actual perfect shade of pink I have always wanted, never found. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 12.6px; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I enjoyed the day SO much. </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Philip was such a nice guy and he, like me, admitted when he initially heard the phrase ‘mineral make up' he was a little sceptical! But wow! Young blood is genuinely BRILLIANT. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 12.6px; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I have never been so happy I attended an event! </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I assumed I was attending a little talk & a ‘get to know’ of the products. </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">When the ever fabulous Elaine </span>Hession<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> handed me my gift bag I was overjoyed. </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I started wearing the products the minute I could. </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Q pictures of already used product, </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">sorry!</span></div>

YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS QUAD.<br />
Look I aint' a make up artist and I am not someone who uses (or owns) several brushes to create a bold eyeshadow look. As stated in several blog posts- I like easy to create looks.</span></div>

If you want a sultry, dramatic eye this is the quad for you!<br />I used one clean fluffy brush. I blended and highlight using the amazing colours with equally class names ‘Can Can’, ‘Revue’, ‘Cabarets’ and the show stopping ‘Red Light’. The result was pretty great (in my opinion)</div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Petrova Hammond, the lady behind the brand is my idol. Her designs are undoubtedly the most beautiful creations I have ever seen, other worldly and ladylike, a dream.</span></span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am not the kind of girl who worries too much about what to wear on dates, mainly because I am Irish and the chance of going on an actual date (not just drinks and bit of soakage) would be a fine thing! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">However, I do like to buy pretty clothes JUST </span>in case.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Luckily I have been on a few actual dates lately (HE BOUGHT ME FLOWERS AND FOOD! FLOWERS AND FOOD!!) so I have had use for my thousands of dresses and shoes.</span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In fairness, I tend to over dress anyway, Its an illness. Sitting in the foggy dolled up to the nines, sure why not?</span></span><br />

My date, usually my best friend Helen or occasionally an actual fella involves me almost always wearing a dress. </span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am lazy despite my delusions of glamour, dresses are pretty handy. Throw a dress on and you are good to go, all the works been done for you! </span></span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">-Lazy Katie Fact: </span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; letter-spacing: 0px;">I am a big advocate of play suits and jumpsuits..I know, the shame. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I actually own a sequin jumpsuit. Let that sink in for a second</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">- </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; letter-spacing: 0px;">A dress and a nice pair of shoes just looks complete, in my opinion.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Yesterday I decided to have a browse in River Island.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">The first thing I saw was a bandage dress, pretty </span>passé<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> you may say but it grabbed my attention. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">It comes in black and yellow, which sounds hideous but the yellow looks BEAUTIFUL on, I was just a little reserved about wearing it so I stuck to the black.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I am always a good five years late to the party anyway so this is </span>indeed<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> my first experience wearing a bandage dress. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">The minute I popped it on, I knew I would be leaving with it. I loved it! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I </span>didn't<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> expect I would, I thought I was just trying a dress on for a bit of fun but I ended up really enamoured with it.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">When you see a dress on your body and automatically know the heels you want to wear with it, as painful as it is to party with money, you know it is </span>inevitably<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> coming home with you.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This River Island Black Bandeau bandage midi dress will set you back </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;"><a href="http://eu.riverisland.com/women/dresses/bodycon-dresses/Black-bandeau-bandage-midi-dress-650271" style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: left;">€67.00</a><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I like how secure I felt in it, This dress is anything but flimsy. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: left;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">The sweetheart neckline flatters my figure (I hope) and it is not too low cut, which leads me to </span>believe<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> this is a perfect dress to wear on a date. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; letter-spacing: 0px;">Wearing this dress felt good, I </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">wasn't</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; letter-spacing: 0px;"> as down on my body as I </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">usually</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; letter-spacing: 0px;"> am. That's a really good feeling for anyone to have. Admittedly I'm still a big chunk of a girl but I felt confident enough in it.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; letter-spacing: 0px;">The shoes I wanted to team up with the dress, my Christian </span>Louboutin<span style="color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; letter-spacing: 0px;"> Follies Lace </span>Dentelle<span style="color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; letter-spacing: 0px;">. </span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="http://eu.christianlouboutin.com/ie_en/shop/women/follies-lace-dentelle.html">check them out here</a> .</span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It goes without saying CL shoes are very pricey. </span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; letter-spacing: 0px;">I personally feel I get my moneys worth out of my shoes so I am happy to scrimp and save to afford them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; letter-spacing: 0px;">Obviously any pair of black heels would look beautiful with this dress, but like I say, these are the ones I KNOW I will be popping on my feet!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am a little mad at myself, I forgot I sent my white overcoat into the dry cleaners- I am having a real monochrome love affair these days, I wish I took a picture of it before hand!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Incidentally my coat is also from River Island!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Would you wear this differently? Do you have a dress that makes you feel great? Let me know!</span><br />
