|The Dean Hotel Dublin

The Dean Hotel, Dublin is the coolest hotel i have ever stayed in! The hotel is full of quirky and cool items. It is located very close to St Stephens Green so pretty central.

I stayed in a Superoom which was amazing, it had so much space and light, In the room there is a Vinyl player and some vinyl's which i absolutely loved as i love vinyls and thought that was a great touch!
There is a restaurant/bar called Sophie's located at the top of the hotel which i had a meal at and it was so good! In the restaurant there as a few swings which again is unique and quirky!

The only downside is that the hotel is located next to a nightclub so can be noisy but i only heard a little bit of noise so it wouldn't deter me from staying again! I loved the whole vibe of the hotel so i highly recommend visiting!

|Top 5 Nude Lipsticks

Nude is probably my favourite lipsticks shade even though i do love colour! I picked my top 5 shades to share with you, i included a gloss as i do love a gloss! 


L-R 
Rimmel Kate '42'
Mac 'Velvet Teddy'
Mac 'Creme Cup'
Wet'n'Wild 'Bare it all'
Soap and Glory Gloss 'Rose and Shine'

You can never have enough nude lipsticks in your collection because they are all just a little bit different! I picked my most worn nude lipsticks which includes both drugstore and Mac!

Velvet Teddy is a little darker that i thought it was going to be on my skin tone and i wasn't sure at first but i have started wearing a pinky lipliner to make it less brown toned. Creme Cup is just the perfect pink nude i wear this will any make up look and is one that i reach a lot!
Rimmel 'Kate' No.42 is very similar to Creme Cup but for a much cheaper price! This has a creamier consistency and doesn't last as long as Creme Cup but it's great for the price!

'Bare It All' by Wet'N'Wild is my favourite drugstore lipstick ever! I have mentioned it multiple times so i won't go on about it but it is amazing!

Soap & Glory 'Rose & Shine' Lip gloss is a pale pink/nude shade that looks great on it's own or over a lipstick. The consistency is sticky but not overly so which make it more comfortable to wear!

Swatches are the same order as the picture above.

|Current Favourite Products

I'm back after a kind of unintentional blogging break, i've been so busy with life and  i just didn't have enough time to blog!


The products i have been using: 

|Pippa Palette
This palette was launched last year by Blank Canvas Cosmetics it consists of 6 eyeshadows, a highlight, bronzer and blush, it is a great travel product as it includes everything you need! There is a great range of colours so you can create a lot of different looks!

|Sephora Pro Airbrush Foundation Brush
I first saw Fleur De Force mention this brush last year and when i went to New York i picked it up and it is perfect for foundation as the name would suggest! It is the right size and density to blend your foundation beautifully! If you are going in Sephora i highly recommend this brush!

|Nivea Post Shave Balm
This has been all over Youtube and blogs recently and it does actually work! I like the tacky feel to this on my skin as i feel like it really hold my make up in place throughout the day.

|Mac Pro Longwear Concealer
I have been using this for a few months now and love it, I use it under my eyes and on blemishes. You only need a tiny amount as it is so full coverage and goes a long way!
|B.Cosmetics Under Eye Concealer
This concealer is amazing! I use a little bit of it on top of the Mac Pro Long wear and it brightens up my under eye area so much. The concealer is from Superdrug and costs around £5.

|YSL Effect Faux Cilles Mascara
I have mentioned this before but i have been using it constantly and will have to buy a full size soon as i have nearly used up the mini! It separates and lengthens your lashes
