Mini Haul

Hello there (If anyone is out there!)

I'm going to do a quick haul post.
Last week I was lucky enough to get some lovely gifts from a friend of mine!
Oki doki so let's get crackin'

The first item I have wanted for a while now. A Topshop Striped shirt. It was €58 which is a bit pricey to be honest! I absolutely love it. When I wore it out first, for some reason I felt like a coal miner. Weird huh? My friend described the fit as very pyjama-esque! SO I decided to match it with black, dramatic, smokey eyes and I teamed that with a bright pink lip to add a bit of a feminine touch to it!

The second item I received is the MAC Creme Blusher. This beautiful product was €21.50 and is in the shade So Sweet, So Easy. This is a bright candy pink that is absolutely stunning on. I'll do a review if you would like another time!

The final item is Topshop necklace. It cost €18.50 which again is far too steep for a necklace! I probably would have waited til it went on sale myself. Needless to say, it is a beautiful piece which I have been wearing constantly! It's light and playful so it can be added to a lot of outfits!

What do you guys think of the items?

Would you like me to do a review on MAC's So Sweet, So Easy?



Lemme know!

Rag top, Chrome Pipes

Hello there!

This post will be about a product that has let me down a little to be honest. :(
I was in the Make Up Forever store in Dublin there a couple of weeks ago oogling...well everything!

The prices can be fairly steep in there so unfortunately I never jump to but anything immediately. I tend to hover around the shop with an angel and devil on both shoulders advising me what to do.
On this particular day the devil was getting the better of me so I headed in to fawn over the HD Blush collection.

Very kindly, the shop assistant offered me a sample of the HD Blush in the shade H13 Light Pink. She's probably seen me around the shop so much she just wanted to get rid of me!

As you can see this is a liquid blush in a VERY light pink shade. The lady was so generous with the amount she gave that I still have some weeks later.

Things I loved...

So I applied the blush sparely on my cheekbone up to my temple and blended it with my Sigma Duo-Fibre brush. The texture was beautifully creamy and easy to gently smooth out with the brush.
There was an instant pop of this candy, dolly pink on my cheek and I loved it!

So there i was delighted with myself until a couple of hours later I notice the blush had faded significantly.
I was so annoyed! The bottle of HD Blush goes for €26 a bottle. To be honest I wouldn't pay that for it if you're gonna have to reapply throughout the day.

I'm left wondering if perhaps if it was a different shade, maybe a darker shade would it last longer?
Until then i'm left with a product I was so excited about that let me down.

Have you guys tried a darker shade? Let me know what you think?

Nail Of The Day

This is my first NOTD post as I must admit I don't really take the time out to do my nails everyday.
I will admit I'm lazy when it comes to nail art.

It was sunny for once in this dreary country today, well at least in the morning, so i decided I would need a lovely Spring nail polish to add to the day!
I decided to go with a Kiko nail polish No. 387 Turquoise. I absolutely feel in love with this colour when I saw it on the shelves on the Kiko store in Malaga.

Its a powerful, pastel colour that screams fresh and Spring to me! It was so purse friendly as well at only €3 I think in the shop however they can also be purchased online for £3.90.

(I have the hands of a 90 year old)


Ok so although I have such a love for this colour and this brand there are a few quams I have to pick with this nail polish.

1. It needs two coats. Not impressive with one coat as it looks almost translucent.

2. Unfortunately, It chips easily. As you can see my thumb in the picture is already chipped. So it does not last for the longest amount of time. As I mentioned before I am lazy with my nails so I am the girl who leaves chipped polish on for yonks!!


As I am not a huge nail buff, this product suits me fine as it is very affordable and offers a beautiful burst of colour.
And they ship to Ireland which is always a plus!

Why not make up your own mind. Take a look at all the Kiko products on their website http://www.kikocosmetics.com/eshop/guest


What do you think? Have you tried Kiko nail polishes before? How did you find them?

Lack of Internet Connection makes Silver a Sad Puppy!

Hello my pretties!

It has been far too long since I have written a post up here which is partly due to having no internet connection at my house and also college assignments and upcoming exams. I was meant to pop this post up sooner but unfortunately life got in the way!

As you all know I was sickly jealous of my best friend's Inglot palette, mentioned in the post http://feedmesilver.blogspot.com/2012/02/inglot-palette.html

So I received my tasty payslip at the end of March and decided feck it!
I splurged on my very own Inglot pallette!
I have been dying to get one and at €55 for ten shadows you can't really go wrong. I decided to go for a lot of matte, colourful shades as I seem to lack specific colours when trying out new looks.

I also decided to go with a shimmery brown as this is one of those in between shades I seem to lack also. While it is shimmery that does not take over the whole shadow and I find it is also handy when lining your eye brows.

It is hard to say but my favourite colour is possibly the green, although I fancy the turquoise a bit too. I have to say they all tickle my heart a little!

I find the standard of the Inglot eye shadows to be higher than many other make up brands out there. The only bone i have to pick with my particular choices is, I find that the lavender purple shade is not as pigmented as I would have hoped it to be. I find I have to keep piling it on whereas the others simply glide from my brush to the eye.

Other than that I am delighted with my purchase.

Have you thought about investing in some Inglot eye shadows? What colours?
