boots
Hey everyone,
I was recently invited to the reveal of the new A/W'13 collection by Schuh at Kelly's Hotel in Dublin. I missed the breakfast in the morning because of school [boo!] which was in I think most bloggers attended. Oh well- I still had a fabulous time! The team from Schuh PR flew over from the UK with the shoes. I must admit, I was in love with what I saw! A Fall favorite of mine was prominent- chunky, buckle boots galore! As you can clearly see from my A/W'13 shoe wishlist, I adore these kind of shoes! Thick heels, open cut and big buckles- my favorite. There was a collection of flats, ranging from hounds-tooth loafers to glittery brogues. Lastly, they had a 'party shoes' table, with the likes of the heels above! My favorite were these huge holographic platforms, and also the purple velvet heels. If you're looking for a pair of standout, party shoes this Christmas, Schuh is definitely the place to go!
All in all, the new collection is very varied, with something to suit everyone, whether you prefer boots, heels or flats. I can't wait to see the collection in stores. The Schuh PR team were so lovely to me, as arrived late myself and my mam were the only ones there! There was cupcakes, retro sweets and I even got a cute goodie bag.

Hey everyone!
It feels like quite some time since I've written a review. I've been a tad busy with school lately, and I find hat reviews can be a bit tedious to write when I'm tired! Current state of mind= listening to old Lily Allen songs, and eating vanilla ice-cream on bed. Sure what else do us teenagers do?
Right, back to the review! I received* this serum at the official launch in Dublin weeks ago, which you can read about here, but I wanted to give it a proper try before writing this review. First things first- I have never actually owned anything by Vichy before this! Well, I've had the few samples, but not full size products. I've also actually never used a serum. Before attending the launch, I always presumed that that serums were typically for older skin. But I was wrong!
The Vichy Idealia Life Serum is a "skin idealizer", that claims an "even and illuminated complexion, refined looking pores and rested facial features". It's suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, and better yet- ITS PARABEN FREE! For those of you who don't know what parabens are- they're specific nasty things are in most skincare products, and most of the time cause no harm. MOST of the time. The serum smells absolutely heavenly. I realise that scent means nothing but I can't help it! Roses and jasmine are the first things I think of. Its pearly white in colour, with tiny bits of shimmer inside, and its very easy to apply to the face. Iadore the packaging too- pink holographic, what more could a girl want?
The serum itself has most definitely changed my skin over the past few weeks. It states to help skin within 8 days, which I think is a tad far fetched! I applied it one in the morning, once in the night. My skin looks brighter, less tired and definitely alot smoother. Although I can't say if it helps with ageing ~ I am only 15..~ my mum also tried it out, and she loved it too!
You can read more about the serum here. Will you be trying it?

Hey everyone!
I've been meaning to post these nails for quite some time now, but keep forgetting as my nails are constantly changing like the weather [and my feelings, and my choice of favorite lipstick..]. I was out shopping with my Mam for some new nail polish, and we came across a great offer by Bourjois in Boots. Although a drugstore type brand , I've always considered it to be luxurious, as when I was younger I bought a nail polish from them and thought it was fab! It was 2 polishes for €11 AND including a free nail art kit! Of course, we jumped at the bargain, and I couldn't wait to try it out. We bought the shades 02 Prepp'hibiscus [coral] and 03 Amande défilé [mint]. I'm quite critical when it comes to nail art kits, and I've always been dubious of nail 'stickers'. The kit contains stickers, stencils and a metallic striping tape.
I found the polishes themselves to be beautiful. They lasted right up through exams-over a week! Minimal chipping and a high gloss finish. Definitely worth the money. The stencils were easy to use and ensured a straight edge, but once used, you can;t use them again unfortunately [note: you get alot in the pack so that's ok!]. The stickers [surprisingly] stayed on for approximately 5 days. This is a considerably long time for stickers to last! The metallic striping tape looks so professional and glamorous when applied, but it is a bit fiddly and tricky to use. It peeled off within a day or two, so that was bit disappointing.
Below is how I styled the polished and the kit;
