Hope everyone is having a lovely monday....er Ok well enjoying it as much as you possibly can enjoy a monday ha!.... :)

This O.O.T.D is a little more dressy than usual, As much as I'd love to say I wore this for the day, I'd be lying haha.

My Week So Far In Pictures

 Hey Guys,

I've seen so many people posting pictures about their week on their blogs and thought it was a really cool idea and it also gives viewers a little insight into our lives so said I'd give it a go...

I had 10 days off work and I must say I picked the most amazing week, Temperatures hitting 30 degrees most days.I didn't get up to anything too exciting, It's been so hot all I want to do is relax. Us irish really aren't use to this weather, we hate to moan as it may be raining next week but alot of us are finding it really hard especially trying to sleep at night.

I've been spending most of the week taking it easy, soaking up as much sun as a can and trying to save money for my holidays in september eeek!!!!

So here's my week so far.... it's going to be so hard going back to work on tuesday :( 

                                                      Saturday:
Saturday started out to be a relaxing day in the sun reading but then I ended up going to the beach with some friends. It's was so nice to soak up some sun, catch up and take a walk on the beach.

 Sunday:

I went to the beach with my love, He was jealous I went without him on Saturday haha.

We spent the day at Inchydony beach in West Cork and then went to the hotel for some dinner and drinks (just 1 drink for the driver :P)  before we headed home and spent the evening chilling with some wine and goodies.

Monday: 

I spent the day Filming and running some errands

and ended the evening with a long long walk :)

Tuesday:

On Tuesday I got to meet the gorgeous Heath aka Dan Ewing from Home and Away and his beautiful Wife

I've watched home and away since I was a kid, It was so exciting to meet a Actor from the show and may I add he was extremely beautiful, Pictures dont do him justice at all.. His skin.. eyes...body hes just yummy hehe,

To bad the picture came out blurry :(

I then headed to a late lunch with my Auntie and my beautiful cousin

before heading home to sunbathe and spend the night watching movies with my man <3

Wednesday

Was Another filming day, Spend the day filming and editing, visiting a friend and sunbathing of course :P

Thursday:

Another relaxing day sunbathing, editing, planning videos and also gave my house a major clean and caught up on some washing and ironing.

Friday:

My parents arrived home from their holidays so went home for the day to catch up with the family I was also so excited to find some goodies arrived for me along with some gifts my parents brought home for me :)

Sinead and I also finally organised our meet and greet for Monday so If your in the cork area come say hi, we would love to meet you :) details here: https://www.facebook.com/events/298058230338210/

BH Cosmetics 120 Palette 4th Edition Review

Hey guys, 

So today I'm reviewing this BH cosmetics 120 palette and this is the 4th edition.

Palette is available Here!! for a whooping $16.95 reduced from $34.95

Before I begin I would just like to point out that I SUCK at reviews and swatches but I do try my best. I have so many highly requested reviews and I would hate to leave you guys down :(

This 120 palette was sent to me by BH Cosmetics about a year ago as a thank you after a set up a bloggers meet up, I never did do a review as I wasnt totally blown away by the palette.

I have purchased two 88 palettes from costal scents and I loved how pigmented they were compared to the BH palette so I never really gave it a chance. 

I always prefer to use Drugstore brands in my tutorials as my videos are about TEACHING not PROMOTING plus they are less expensive and the results are always just as good.

Over the last few weeks, I've been using this palette more in my videos as this palette has a huge range of colours and it's the perfect palette for beginners, why buy 20 palettes when you can buy one??! and better yet... It's a bargin!!!! 

Now that I've given the palette a chance, I do feel that it's a bargin for the price however I still feel some of the colours are not as pigmented as I would like or compared to other cheaper brands like MUA, and Coastal Scents.

As you can see from this swatch although the colours are nice and bright you can still see my skin underneath, On the eye these coloured don't look as pigmented but like I said earlier this doesn't apply to all the eyeshadows just a few.This problem can be fixed by using a primer or base underneth the eyeshadow especially if it's a similar colour, this will instantly make the shadows look more intense.

I would give this palette 7 out of 10 mostly for the cheap price tag and the huge selection of colours that never let me down.

Would I purchase again? No but I do find it handy. I find myself reaching for it when I can't find a colour I'm looking for.

Here's one of my tutorials:

Hope you guys like this review.

Love Always
