REVIEW ON MY 24k GOLD COLLEGEN EYE MASK

Happy Monday Bubbleheads :)

24k Gold Collegen Eye Mask

Anti-Dryness, Anti-Wrinkle, Anti-Ageing
€3.49

How was everyone weekend? Isn't it great to see a bit of sunshine after the rainy weather we've been having! But anyways back to my review on a little beauty product I found at the end of my Irish Beauty Blog Awards goody bag. Last Tuesday I decided to have a golden moment as I went and put on my two very interesting looking gold coloured eye mask. It felt a bit weird at first but after placing them properly underneath my eyes I just sat back and let the eye masks get down to work. 

Ingredients:

24k gold mineral plant collegen, antibacterial factors, vitamin e, hyaluronic acid, rose essence and distilled water

It's to tighten the skin and facilitates the removal of toxins. The combination of active gold and plant collegen have repairing properties that help combat dryness, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and prevent ageing. The nutrients will add moisture and tighten the skin resulting in a more youthful look.

What Bubbles thought:

When you get these items and read up on them you think,yeah right! For better results though I left these on overnight. After finding them in my bed the next day I went to the nearest mirror to see if anything major happened. I noticed straight away my eyes were less puffy, tightening of the skin and some of the darkness from underneath my eyes was gone. Even my mam was saying she could see a freshness to my face. The eye masks were also a little dried out but keep them as it says on the package you can melt the remainder into your bath to receive additional benefits for a softer, smoother body. 

Where to find:

Skin Logic, Lurg Lane, Kinneagh, The Curran, Co. Kildare

FLAVOURED WATER RECIPE'S

Last Sunday i put together this very easy-peasy flavoured water in my new glass Kilner drink dispenser. As i grabbed a handful of some lovely fresh fruit from the fruit bowl and my 5 litre Irish still water an idea came to me. I poured all the water into the dispenser,then i chopped/sliced up my fruit and mixed it all together. Water is not great on it's own and is very uninteresting on the taste buds. I think these flavoured water would be great for the summer and not only that they are good for the health too. It also gave me another reason to go looking for more recipes,as i drink plenty of water throughout the day i just need something more to add some excitement to my H20.

CANNES 2015

Oh la la.......The 68th Cannes Film Festival rolled into the South of France this week and of course all the glitz and glam did not go unnoticed. The Festival De Cannes is a celebration of cinematographic art. To showcase the new writing,new genres and new visual innovations of our time. From 13th to the 24th of May there is 12 days of non stop coverage of glamour (only joking) but us ladies do like to keep an eye though on who's who is following the latest fashion trends and which designers they are rocking. While some get it very right unfortunately others get it very wrong. There was plenty of bright colours,soft greys,blues and pastel hues,plenty of the favourite traditional black or white gown to chose from. Here are my pick of the bunch from Cannes 2015:

Naomi Watts in a grey feathered Elie Saab Spring 2015 Couture gown

Emma Stone in a white Christian Dior Couture gown

Charlize Theron in a yellow Christian Dior Couture gown

Diana Kruger in Prada gown

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini in Ralph and Russo Couture gown

Kristina Kaif in a red lace Elie Saab gown

Michelle Rodriguez in simple black lace Elie Saab gown

(One thing though not a fan of the necklace)

Bar Refaeli in a white sleeveless colum gown 

Who was your best dressed at Cannes 2015? Hope you enjoy the piece :)

MY DAY IN KILDARE VILLAGE WITH MY SISTER

Shopping, shopping, shopping......Who doesn't love shopping? Even better when there is a little discount involved and hay presto you are in heaven. I discovered a voucher on Dealrush for two people to stay the night in Portlaoise but it was also giving you a discount to head to Kildare Village Outlet. Oh how my eyes gleamed at that bit! Boom voucher was bought :)

My sister and myself made the journey down and to my surprise the Kildare Village Outlet wasn't that far from us. Even though it was the weekend of Easter the place was buzzing. Also to my surprise I thought it was going to be much bigger with more outlets but then again they are working on that. We headed to the customer service outlet and handed in our voucher were they handed us back a sheet with our discount on it. But guys really the discounts were way better in the outlets. 

We walked around for a bit having a noisy into the likes of Juicy Couture, Kurt Geiger, Nike Outlet and Mulberry. If I had the money I'd be dangerous in those places ;). We did pick up a few piece's, so it was all good! Then our stomachs started to rumble we headed to the cafe to have a bite to eat. Hello to a slice of pizza and carrot cake. After that we made the decision to head to the hotel. Guys this trip was simply for pure relaxation. The both of us enjoyed the day and stay. Hope you enjoy the piece :)
