Green With Envy
A colour trend which has recently caught my eye and is set to be huge in S/S13 is Green. From Stella McCartney to Gucci's S/S13 collections, green is the must have colour of the season. Think Katy Perry at the 2013 Grammys but with a little less..ahem cleavage! Working this trend into an outfit is simple, whether it is a laid back and casual look you are going for or want to glam it up a little..There is plenty of choice out there. Work this trend with a statement green dress and neutral accessories or keep it subtle with a green clutch or accessories. Remember less is more and there is a huge difference between rocking this trend and ending up looking like a glorified leprechaun!
Katy Perry : 2013 Grammys
And here are a few pieces I found to get you on your way to working this trend.
Geek Jumper: Miss Guided
Skinny Jeans: Miss Guided
Playsuit: Motel Rocks
I most definitley will be working this colour into my outfits and I am already on the look out for an emerald green pencil skirt to throw on with a neutral t shirt and chunky neck piece for a dressy yet casual look. Let the hours of scrolling through online stores commence! If any of you guys have any other suggestions on how you will be working this trend please do let me know. Hope you all enjoy this post. Speak very soon.
Much Love,

It's all about Mememe
Self obsessed title much? Well this post isn't about me, it is in fact about Mememe Cosmetics. I have being meaning to do this post since the day I discovered this little gem. I had never heard of this brand until I saw it stocked in my local Pharmacy and I suddenly realised my prayers had been answered. Mememe Cosmetics are a UK based brand which was relaunched in 2009. These products are ridiculously similar to the Benefit Cosmetic Range but for a third of the price. Yes that is right..a THIRD of the price!
The first product I picked up was the Blush Me! Blush Box in Pink. As you can see below even the packaging is similar to the Benefit Bow O' Powder range. At first glance the pink shade does look quite severe but I bought it in hope that it would be similar to the Urban Decay Afterglow Glide On Cheek Tint in Crush. Which looks quite strong but not as full on when applied to the cheeks and thankfully I was right. The Blush Me! Blush Box gives a light yet noticeable tint to the cheek which you can build on if preferred. I personally prefer this blush to my Benefit blush. So much so I plan to pop back to my Pharmacy and pick up the other shades available.
Blush Me! Blush Box:Pink €10.95
The second item from the range I bought was the Correct&Perfect Concealer Kit. This is a two step concealer providing a cream concealer and a setting powder. Again..I love this! I bought it in nude and it blends so well. The coverage is really good and covers up my blemishes around my nose and chin so well. I also use the cream concealer as a base for my eyeshadow and it works perfectly. In the past I have gone through so many different concealers and I found some cream concealers had a tendency to crease and make my blemishes even more apparent. However teaming this concealer with the setting powder gives me a smooth and flawless finish and I will definitely be repurchasing.
So that's my Mememe Cosmetics Collection..So far! What do you think? Had you heard of the brand before? If so what is your favourite product from the range? Because there is so much to choose from and you can see them all here. And let's be honest a flawless make up look all the while not breaking the piggy bank..what's not to love?
Hope you enjoy this post and all feedback is welcome. Speak Soon.

Correct&Perfect Concealer Kit: Nude €8:60
The final product I picked up was a nail polish from the Nail Collection Long Lasting Gloss Range and I chose the Innocent-Nude Ivory shade. I am very impressed by this. You do require two coats to get the full effect of the nail polish but I do like the shade. It is very fresh and I find it is a brilliant base to build on with some of the Topshop Nail Art Pens. I would repurchase this product but I hope to try out some of the different shades as there are tons to choose from.
Nail Collection Long Lasting Gloss: Innocent-Nude Ivory €6.70So that's my Mememe Cosmetics Collection..So far! What do you think? Had you heard of the brand before?

She lives.
Hiya guys!
Yes I am alive! Major apologies for my lack of posts over the erm..past few weeks! I guess you could say I had a case of cold feet. I mean who would want to read my little old blog? Was I wasting my time? Who would want to hear my opinion on all things Fashion or Beauty? I am a very humble person and I always have a tendency to question everything I do. But after a few weeks of thinking and chatting with some of the people closest to me I have decided that screw it! I started this and I will continue. Even if I don't get one follower I will still have a place to channel all my thoughts regarding Fashion,Beauty and well..life.
So I am now more determined than ever to make a go of this blog. Yes I have said it before but this time I will make a vow to post as regularly as possible. It may not be top class..it sometimes might not even make a whole lot of sense but there is one thing you can guarantee..This blog will always be honest.(That doesn't half sound cheese!).
Anyway that is enough out of me. I will speak to you all very soon.
