LADY GAGA FOR SHISEIDO'S JAPAN CAMPAIGN

Your heart is filled with vanity,mine insanity

Ra Ra ra ra ra...........Lady Gaga already has her first booking in the bag for 2015. The singer is the new face for Japan Shiseido ad campaign. No better person i say! If your like me and follow Gaga you'll understand why she got this beauty job. 

Gaga once said "Sit in front of the mirror with all of the paints and colours and wigs that you have at your disposal,and just have a real talk with yourself". 

The campaign is for Gaga to take 50 selfie shots which also makes her the photographer (hence selfie). The first bulk of the selfies are going to be used in different Japanese newspapers were they will be published on January 1,then the rest on January 5. Unfortunately little monsters this side of the world won't get to see any of this advertising as there are no plans to release it here (boo). I'm sure she won't want to disappoint her fans and I'm sure she'll find a way to give us a sneak glimpse of snaps from this shoot ;)

CHRISTMAS TIME

Hey hey my Bubble heads,

How's everyone Monday?

Hope everyone had a wonderful and magical day last Thursday!! From me to you I'm wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a very bubbly New Year. Here's what i got up to over the Christmas period :). I was in work this Christmas Eve as for the past few years i haven't. Can't complain as i was off a few days before the madness ha ha. It wasn't too painful for me as i noticed everyone was in a really good mood. After work myself and four other girls went up to The Eden pub to have a few Christmas Eve drinks. The pub is only up the road from us,very handy! When we walked into the place it was packed and there was a great atmosphere. 

Christmas morning was here with great excitement. Just had to wait for the rest of the family to wake up and open our presents all together. It wasn't too long ;). I'm so happy and very grateful with what i received. Really love my beauty organiser,now i can finally put all my make-up products together and keep it all in one place. As you can see from the picture below i got some Essence and W7 make-up products. A new mi moneda coin for my chain,socks,selection box,a DVD and a bracelet. After all that it was time to get some breakfast into us. Let's hear it for the good old hearty fry-up. This is also a time were we aren't watching the calories. Then its onto planning of what movies we are going to be watching for the day on the box.

Me I'm very proud to say that this was the year i put together my first traditional Christmas Day feast. I love cooking and i really wanted to do it this year. I started with the Ham boiling in a pot,then i put the Turkey in the oven. The vegetables i went with were Brussels sprouts along with crispy bacon bits. Carrots and parsnips covered in honey. Roasted potatoes with cumin seeds,salt and pepper and homemade stuffing. Oh i could eat it all again. None of it was wasted either on this day as my mam and sister and myself really enjoyed it. Christmas is a time to be with family and friends but not everyone out there is in a safe and protected environment. I do what i can through-out the year with charities and just before Christmas i did a few more good deeds. I brought up old towels to the DSPCA for all the four legged canine,some blankets and a couple of sleeping bags to a homeless shelter in town. Always feel really good when i do something like this. Hope everyone has a great New Year :)

RIHANNA FIRST EVERY DIAMOND BALL

Shine bright like a diamond.......Doesn't Rihanna just look simply beautiful. The singer pulled off her first every Diamond Ball all in aid of charity. Her event was held in Beverly Hills at The Vineyard all in aid of Clara Lionel foundation,an organisation that works to improve the quality of life for communities globally in the areas of health,education,arts and culture. Rihanna stood in front of the paparazzi in this gorgeous rose Zac Posen gown and this magnificent pear shaped ruby Chopard necklace. 

Of course the singer had a lot of famous faces at her special night. Brad Pitt,Salma Hayek,Tyrese,Ne-yo and the singer family. Wouldn't you love to be there? Rihanna foundation is inspired after her grandparents Clara and Lionel Braithwaite and founded in 2012."One of the greatest benefits of my job was being able to start the Clara Lionel foundation in honor of my grandparents"said Rihanna."There is truly nothing I'm more proud of and we've just gotten started. I'm excited to continue my work and thrilled to be able to host the Diamond ball-a night that promises to be elegant and inspirational." It sure looked like it Rihanna :)

Happy Saturday Bubble heads xx

SATURDAY NIGHT

I had my Christmas meal on Saturday night with the work crew. I was in work till 6 that day and the meal was at 8. I had to prepare the night before. The usual things for us girls to do for a night out. Tan,pick out an outfit,nails etc etc. I picked out a comfy attire for this night as we we're all heading to a restaurant an then on to the local pub beside it. I firstly meet up with Julia as she just lives up the road from me. We planned to head to the restaurant together. While there i was told that we we're getting a lift,happy days! It was great as we didn't have to organise a taxi ;). The night was light,easy and enjoyed. The restaurant was Little Caesars which was only down the road in Rathfarnham. We chose from their Christmas set menu which was a three course meal at 22.95. 

I went for their Polpette which was meatballs in a tomato sauce as a starter. My main was chicken breast with spinach and mushroom done in a creamy sauce. Profiteroles i went for as a dessert. Thank god i wore the comfy attire ha ha. Outfit of the night was my black leather trousers from Penneys. My new cute little cream top with crochet sleeves. Tan was Cocoa Brown 1 hour a light glow will start to develop within the hour. Then on wards it will start getting darker for you. It is so easy to apply as its available in a mousse,quick drying and you don't get that sticky feeling. This was my spray tan of the summer. Haven't a bad word to say about this brand :).  

Make-up look:

Face: Estee Lauder double wear foundation blended in with a bit of my seventeen skin wow highlighter

Eyes: Bourjois nude eyeshadow palette 

Catrice cosmetics lash extension black volume mascara

Maybelline big eyes liner white

Lips: NYX pinky lip liner and strawberry parfait butter gloss

Cheeks: No.7 instant bronzing highlighter and NYX pinky/rose blush 

Hope you enjoy the piece :)
