As you know I’m in Chicago at the moment. Thought I would post a little update on my trip so far…that being the shopping really :)   Outlet shopping Firstly, I am quite proud of myself. I went to Aurora yesterday to visit the outlet. Yes, I hear you. Amy in an outlet? Surely that...

I couldn’t tell you how many times I have been asked to record a room tour. It is definitely my most requested video. Well, I finally caved and recorded one! It’s nothing exciting, just a little look at the room where I store my make-up, shoes and handbags since you wanted to see. Thanks...

This is a little off topic but these headphones are more of an accessory than a piece of electrical equipment so technically they belong. They would also make a cute gift for Christmas. I buy new earphones every few months. Not out of choice, but rather out of necessity. I throw them in the end of...

I’m popping into Thérapie next week to have an Eve Lom facial. I brought home a brochure from my skin consultation the other day and perused the other treatments.There are two more extreme treatments that really appeal to me. But first, the treatment I have booked. After my consultation the...

I have been using Wigwham Mascara by Isa Dora for the past month now.  I thought it was high time for a little review and some pictures. My experience started off a little dodgy but did a little turn around after that. I’m glad I held on! Here are some images of what the mascara looks like...

I have mentioned on numerous occasions how fickle I am when it comes to nail polish. It’s not surprising then that I have found a new favourite. OPI Chick Flick Cherry… It’s a creamy cherry red, nothing unusual. Yet it makes me so happy to see it on my nails. It’s so easy...

I am up bright and early with a spring in my step this Saturday morning. Why am I a crazy woman up at 7am on the weekend? I’m off for some much needed beautifying this morning. It was booked as a surprise present for me. I am heading off for a massage, facial and manicure. It may surprise...

You may or may not know, I’m heading to Chicago next month. Now, shopping will be minimal but I am planning some treats from Sephora. Whilst in Sephora in The Water Tower last Christmas I was overwhelmed by the sampler and gift sets available. I settled on a fragrance sampler but stayed away...

Boo Hoo! My Bobbi Brown Gel Liners have completely dried up. I bought them in a set on an Aerlingus flight. As much as I loved them they were a mistake. Look at the state of them… They have completely dried up – time for the bin! I paid €28 for the box of two, which was a much better...

First, let me apologise for the delay in posting the winners. It has been nearly 4 weeks since the competition closed. I have no excuse other than a crazy work load, running a blog, a YouTube channel and entering entrants data into the most irritating randomiser ever! After you all went into the randomiser...

If you’re a regular reader of my blog you have probably picked up on the fact that I am very excited about Winter. It’s my favourite season – dark cosy evenings by the fire, Christmas parties, warm clothes and layering. I’m also flying to Chicago in December which means I need...
