A little bit of a different post this weekend.

I always love to see what peoples favourite TV show, book, App or websites are.  Particularly as I always like to try new things out so here goes. Maybe tag yourself along and do it on your blog too.

Top 5 - week 1 July 21st

TV show/online

Revenge - oh wow I found a beauty in this show, I have watched the full first season of this, and cannot wait for Season 2. All about a girl called Amanda Clarke who's father was killed unlawfully and she sets out for revenge on the people who were involved in his death. There is also some romance, it's set in The Hampton's, and some good looking actors. What more could you want.

Book

50 shades Series - Yup I said it, sorry if a lot of you are thinking seriously Holly are you for real!? I've read all 3 books, and as much as I thought they weren't written as well as they could have been, they were page turning, unable to put down and feel good books. With an added raunchy side.

iPhone App

Stumbleupon - I have known about this website for a few years, but never thought about looking it up on my phone. Great if you're stuck in a queque for something, on a train or a bus.

Tumblr


Imperfection equals beauty. - Adore this tumblr link is here .http://recklessinvogue.tumblr.com/

Snack


Low fat probiotic vanilla yoghurt + frozen red grapes! nom nom can't get enough of this. 


Would love to know your favourites, leave a link below if you have done any on your blog, always up for new things.

This was a little bit of an airport impulse buy, On my way home from London I decided to spend my last few pounds that were left in my purse.  Which shop was in my direct line after security? Mac ughhh so bold!

This is the Mineralize Skinfinish in Light Year from their collection Heavenly Creatures.  I have been reading quite a few reviews about this product, mostly very positive ones, but with people saying it's too bronze, it's too pink.  I personally bought it so I could blend all these colours together.

It is a gorgeous bronze/pink when blended into the skin (sorry photo not justifying how pretty it is).  The wear on the skin is excellent lasting 6 - 7 hours, but I would possibly be topping it up every now and then to keep a gorgeous glow on my skin.

I particularly bought this product for nights out, when I have a olive based tan on (st. moriz or st. tropez) it is lovely to give this a sweep across your collarbones and up the front of your leg, to give a longer leg effect.

At £21.50 it was an expensive/impluse buy, but it is my first of this make - up mineralize skinfinish from MAC and I think it'll will last a long time!

Going to be very interested if the bronze is all the way through the product or just marbled on top.

Bought this around 6 weeks ago when I went to the Nails Inc Bar to get a manicure. The lady who did my nails went on and on about nails being in a 'terrible' condition. Now I have quite strong nails, and in my own opinion I don't have the worst set of nails out there.  Yet I was sick of her teling me this, I asked for a solution to my problem. Even though in the back of my head I knew it: Stop wearing nail varnish 24/7 365 days/year.

So I was shown this package. It was on special for €35 (Estimate) and included:

Base Coat - Hyde Park 10ml
Top Coat - Albert Bridge 10ml
Cuticle Oil Slick Pen 1.6ml
Nail Buffer
Nail Polish remover wipe

All in all, It was a great bargain as if you were to buy all those separately it would add up to over €50.

So I started to use this kit particularly the Base Coat and cuticle pen (which I've fallen in love with).

Verdict: I now have stronger nails, easy movable cuticles, and are more durable to be putting nail varnish on over long periods.

I am trying to help my nails by letting them breathe for 3-4 days at a time if I can, but I feel naked without nail polish.

Has anyone else tried this product, would be interested to know what you thought?

A few pictures from my time over in London.

I visited friends over there for a long weekend, was lovely to take time off work and chill out. I also went to Barn on the Farm, which I shall be talking about on my next Music Mondays which I haven't done in a while, so I am looking forward to talking all about that.

We visited Borough Market and saw some incredible food displays, came across a massive puffer fish! Couldn't believe my eyes, and all I could think of was that episode in The Simpsons.

Visited my favourite bakery of all time: The Hummingbird Bakery in South Kensington and bought the love of my life The Red Velvet - Yummm.

Bought a few nice bits and pieces over there, a lot less than I thought I would, so will show you over the next week what I got.

So now it's back to Uni and work, anyone have anything exciting booked for the next month or so?

New Topshop Lippy! Think I've been living under a rock lately, I haven't seen this around, so whether it is because my Topshop hasn't stocked it up until now or I just by-passed it every time. Needless to say I fell in love with this lipstick when I swatched it.

I wouldn't be a huge statement lipstick person, so you can imagine my delight when I bought this.
It is of course a velvet matte finish, a cross between brown/red.

Very easy to wear with a nude make-up face, or even dramatic eyes so it doesn't take away from them!

Anyone else tried this? or totally missed it like I did?

Adore this collar, wore it religiously around London over the weekend, I found you can dress it up or down such a great bargain too.







Wore these over the weekend, and fell in love with them. They are not too full, give a great length to your lashes without giving you a real 'falsie' look.



Bought these gorgeous earrings off this ETSY seller, They are tiny small sliver hearts. Would highly recommend buying these to wear as an everyday earring. They cost €11.







My favourite shower gel brand is Molton Brown, so when I received a gift voucher I was straight into their shop in Dundrum Shopping Centre, Dublin.

I bought their set of 10 Bath & Shower 50ml for €30 which was reduced, Going to find my favourite then buy a large one. Although my all time favourites are the two above Heavenly Gingerlily and Vitalising Vitamin A,B + C.
