There were so many amazing dressing and a few I wasn't so keen on but here are some of my favourites from the night. 

Zendaya, wearing Marchesa 

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, wearing Atelier Versace

Joanne Froggatt, wearing Reem Acra

Time for a Lifestyle change!

Hey everyone, 

I know basically EVERYONE says this in the new year and I'm not saying "New Year New Me" because I'm still the same person but I've decided I really need to change my lifestyle and be healthier. Although I've never been someone who's happy with my body or the way I look and I've tried to change it so many times (with fail!) this isn't the main reason behind wanting to make a change. Before moving to London I had improved my diet a lot but since being away from home it has gone back downhill and fast! I was looking at the food I was eating and realised I am not treating my body right at all. I constantly feel sluggish and have a lack of energy and I think my bad diet is partially to blame for that! I suffer with tension headaches as a result of my anxiety and a great reliever of stress that I don't do enough at all is exercise. My headaches have sparked up a lot recently so I'm hoping by doing more exercise they will settle and become less frequent. As I said getting the body I've always wanted isn't my main goal but of course its still a goal I have. I would absolutely love to be able to say I am comfortable in my own skin for once. Starting from today I am going to eat healthier and exercise more. I feel like by writing it on my blog I will be more likely to stick to it this time! 

If you are one of the many people also making healthier choices in the new year I am with you 100% and we can all do this together!

REVIEW: What I Got for Christmas

Hey everyone, 

I got some new makeup products for Christmas and after using them a few times to get a good feel for them I've decided to review them for you! The products I'm going to be reviewing are 'Benefit Gimme Brow', 'Benefit Roller Lash Mascara', 'Kat Von D Shade and Light palette' and MAC Lipstick in 'Cockney'. 

There was a lot of hype around the Roller Lash mascara last year but I had fallen in love with Perversion mascara from Urban Decay so I didn't try it in the beginning. I know I'm late to the party but I now completely understand the hype around it! Roller Lash is one of the best mascaras I've tried in a while. The thin applicator is perfect for lengthening and separating the lashes and it also holds a curl perfectly. I love love love it! 

I've been wanting to buy the Kat Von D Shade and Light palette since it was released but I couldn't find a stockist in Ireland or somewhere with reasonable priced postage online so I decided to wait a bit to get it. My mum travelled to Spain last month where they have Sephora so she picked it up for me for Christmas and I just wish I had gotten it sooner! This palette has the perfect highlight and contour shades. My two personal favourites and the ones I have been heading towards most are 'Lyric' for highlight and 'Subconscious' for contour. 

I have been using Benefit's Gimme Brow as a substitute for my Urban Decay Tinted brown Gel and I have been really loving it. The applicator on it is a lot smaller than the one from Urban Decay which works better to get all the small eyebrow hairs you may miss with the bigger applicator. With benefit's you can be a lot more precise which I like. It keeps all the hairs in place perfectly and has just the right amount of tint for days you may want to do a more natural 'no makeup - makeup look' with a less dramatic/strong brow.  

Last but not least I have been loving the MAC lipstick 'Cockney'. This shade is a medium red with a slight shimmer and glossy finish. As I have blonde hair red shades with bluey undertones work best with my light hair and pale skin. Used together with 'Essence' lipliner in the shade '14 - Femme Fatale' it makes the perfect red lip and stays for hours. The pay off is excellent. 

If you would like a review on some other makeup products I got for Christmas let me know!

Taking control

Hey everyone, 

After my last post Reflecting on 2015 I've been thinking a lot. I received a message shortly after publishing the post and it really hit me. Last year as much as I was working on my happiness and it did get a lot better some of the 'bad days' I discussed were times I let my happiness and strength be controlled by someone else. I came to a decision on New Years eve to not let them do this anymore. No one should be letting anyone else control them, their lives, their happiness or their strength. I did this for so long and it affected me really badly. You need to take control of your own life. You need to show your strength and you need to not let others break down those walls. This is what I am learning and I think its so important. If you have someone in your life who is having a negative effect on you, leave them in 2015. Surround yourself with people who will let you become the person you want to be.
