High Street Haul

Hi guys! Today I'm going to be showing you some new clothing I picked up in the high street in Cork city recently. I wanted to update my wardrobe and find some nice pieces that I can wear now and coming into summer because we are in such a transitional period with the weather right now.
So the first item I picked up was the denim embroidered skirt from Penney's. It has a really nice floral pattern embroidered here on the sides of it and has a zip detail down the middle of it. I thought this skirt would be perfect to wear now with tights and boots or in summer paired with sandals. I sometimes find it difficult to find a skirt that fits me correctly but this one fits me well and the material is really nice too. I picked it up in a size 8 and it retails for €17.

Next in Penney's I picked up this pants which I will pair with the next top too. These are black and white polka dot print trousers and they are a stretchy material. I'm a bit obsessed with these pants. I don't own any other print trousers cause they're a bit outside of my comfort zone but I love that these ones are black and have a simple print. I picked them up in size 12 and it turns out I should have gotten a size 10 so I'll either return them and get the right size or just wear them with a belt. These retail for around €12.

The item I got next was to pair with the pants but you can wear this top with almost anything. I think this top with the pants and a pair of heels will make a great outfit. This top was also form Penney's. It has a ruffle top with cold shoulder detail. I picked up a size 8 and it retails for €11 and was also available in other colours. The only issue I have with this top is that the straps are too long on it so I'm going to have to get that altered a bit.


The next item I purchased was this print sweatshirt from H&M. I love wearing these style jumpers on a daily basis. They are super comfortable and look nice with any type of bottoms. I picked up the size Small and this jumper retails for €8.

The final item I picked up is my absolute favourite thing from this haul. This denim button up pinafore from H&M is going to be new go to outfit. This is super versatile and very flattering on.

SOSU Contour Stick

Hi guys! Today I’m going to be reviewing the SoSu contour stick. I’m aware this product has been around for a while now but I have always avoided cream contour products for two reasons. The first being that I don’t want the product to slide around my face and also powder products are easier to use. Secondly, any cream contour products I have come across for reasonable money have been too dark for my skin tone. I purchased the contour stick in the shade ‘Cool’ from my local pharmacy that stocks SoSu products. On application I swiped the contour stick directly onto my face where I would normally apply contour powder and then I used a beauty sponge to blend it out. The stick is very pigmented and it only takes one swipe to apply. It’s very smooth on the skin and the product is easy to build up if you want a more prominent contour. The component feels good quality and the product is cruelty-free, paraben-free and vegan. Overall I think this is a great product. The stick is ea

Testing make up brushes from Lidl?!

Hi guys! Today I'm going to be reviewing the Miomare professional cosmetic brush set from Lidl. I was in Lidl last week and saw these. They were only €5 and I thought they would make an interesting blog post. This is an eight piece set that includes a powder brush, a blush brush, an eye shadow brush, a mascara wand, a lip brush, an eyeliner brush, an eye shadow applicator and  a brush roll . All the brushes are 100% synthetic. There were a few different colours of the brush rolls but I just got the black faux leather one. I was testing these brushes out over the weekend and I have some mixed feeling about them. My favourite brushes in this set are the powder and the blush blushes. I also really like the mascara wand. However I didn't enjoy the rest of the brushes. The eyeshadow brush did not apply product on my eyelid very well. The eyeshadow applicator, eyeliner and lip brushes weren't very useful for me. I don't usually use these tools when applying my make up anyway

What's in Penney's right now!
