ESSENCE NEW SKINCARE RANGE

Happy Thursday everyone :)

Anyone come across Essence new skincare range. If not I was lucky enough to be given a couple of items from the new pure skin essence range. It's aimed at a younger market for boys and girls, its also a budget friendly range. Available in Penneys and other pharmacies.

This is Essence first skincare range as it's more known on the market for their beauty products.  Pure skin care is looking at cleansing, care and coverage- to give you a pampered and radiant looking complexion, specially developed for problematic skin. The products are eye-catching done in a blue with a different colour strip. You have a strong orange, red or green highlighting what each item is across the box or bottle. The items I was lucky enough to get my hands on : 

Nose strips: You get 3 individual packs purifying nose strips. They are to remove blackheads fast and efficiently, refines pores and improves skin texture. 

(Don't I look mean)

Spot killer: The SOS spot killer anti- pickel tupfer visibly reduces spots over night.  Highly effective emergency aid against spots, innovative 2-phase formula. 

Face wash: The 4 in 1 anti-spot cream wash helps fight against impurities, deeply cleansing, mattifying and pore re-fining. Smells really nice and what's also great is you can use it as a mask as well.

BB cream: Anti-spot BB cream comes in a tube in a light brown box. It has a sun protection factor of 10. Gives you flawless and improved complexion.  Mattifying and moisturising. Fights spots and protects your skin.

TOPSHOP AT LONDON FASHION WEEK

If its not New York, its London. I'm sure you all know by now that this week is fashion week, yeah! This is a major week for all the designers out there to finally show off their major piece's they have been working tooth and nail on. Fashion Week for a blogger is heaven. Aw man I'm so jealous imagine sitting front row viewing all the glamorous looks for next season. Celebrities faces are also spotted at these major shows. Just over the weekend I got to watch a video of Topshop Unique SS15, how exciting! Model of the moment Cara Delevingne opened and closed the clothes event. Her last look she wore a gorgeous nude dress with gold sequins.

Smudged red lips and chunky heels were also what I noticed the models wearing while strutting down the catwalk. There were still looks of floral, bright and bold colours. As you can see for the pictures I stuck up from the event. What do you think?

NIGHT OUT ON THE TILES

Saturday night a few of the work colleagues got together an headed into Hard Rock Cafe in Temple Bar. The meal was because another member of our staff is leaving the shop after two years with us.

I decided to just dress causal. Popped on a mint pleated top with a pair of jeans that were rolled up at the end. Plus I was in work an didn't have much time when i got home to choose a outfit to wear. As we had to be back in to Temple Bar for 8 o clock. I enjoy the meal nachos for starter everyone got stuck in. Beef fajita I chose for my main meal and the cocktails were good. Grace it was lovely known you best wishes for the future :))

THE BIG GRILL FESTIVAL

What else would you be doing on a Sunday afternoon?I purchased two tickets for a event which was having its first year in Herbert Park,Ballsbridge. That festival in question was called The Big Grill I came across these vouchers on pigsback.com for €10 each. The Big Grill displayed many food stalls with most of them doing food on barbecues hench the name Big Grill. Irish craft beer was the choice of drink.

(Prawn Gambia €9)

While at the event money wasn't accepted. You had to go get what were called Smokin token books which was the official currency at this event. Booklets were vouchers made up of €20, €50 etc. They were picked up from booths throughout the grounds. You could see the organisers we're trying to be different with this one from other events but I definitely think some issues are needed to be rethought for next year.

(The big bench)

Me personally I think they need to rethink the charge of €30 for a ticket to enter into this festival. I'm lucky to have gotten the tickets for €10 as I don't think I would of headed to this event for the full price of €30. I did enjoy the event don't get me wrong. It was nice to do something a bit different on a Sunday afternoon. Did anyone head into this event?
