I've been a little absentee from blogging due to a number of reasons, but I ain't going to be going into all of those right now!

Thought I'd blog about the things I've been up to in between working, sleeping + eating!









Last week I took a much needed day off from work to visit family on an island off West Cork, I had a great day away from reality, the sea air was very refreshing.

I couldn't have asked for a better day weather wise, although it got fairly chilly as the day went on.

I've also been to a few wine tasting evenings with work, which included one of these lemon meringue tarts it was so tiny, yet super tasty!

Finally I purchased these 3 make up products from MAC.

Two eyeshadows in Cranberry + Orb
Kohl Power Eye Pencil in Feline

The latter being something I have never tried before, it is particularly soft, excellent for a strong smokey eye! I should do a post on it and show the differences to say my other MAC eyepencil in Coffee, but I seem to have mislaid it! (AGH!!)
Has anyone else got this eyepencil?

Looking forward to writing up a few more posts this week!

PS all photos are from an iPhone, not my usual camera preference but I thought they turned out pretty well for photos on the go!

 First up is Maybelline's The Falsies Volume Express in Black Drama, I've had my eye on this for the last few months what with Tanya Burr raving on about it, so I was so happy when it appeared in my stocking! It has a curved wand, applies well, and holds a curl, The above photograph is after ONE application of mascara, and is totally buildable!
I still would pick my L'oreal Telescopic over this due to my lashes feeling a little harder with this mascara as apposed to the L'oreal one review here.

Over all I would give this mascara a 7/10 As it is a nice addition to my make up bag!




















Finally a product I never took a second look at, a mineral powder. I am normally a cream make up girl, especially when it comes to coverage on my face.
My mum surprised me with this product and I am starting to come around to it!
If I am going for a look during the day that isn't a  heavy make up one I start off the base of my make up with this powder and it gives me a lovely finish, not giving my face too much of a matte finish!

I am still learning with this powder so any recommendations I would be highly open to them!

Did you receive any new products for Christmas that you never used before?
