Party Inspiration for Paperless Post

Hello There!

Was contacted by the lovely Katie from Paperless post to do an inspiration post for a party. Paperless post are a great online website to create the perfect invitations for either a Birthday, Weddings, Baby Showers and any other occasion that needs catering for. There are so many great online designs or you can customize your own invitation. You can also choose the type of paper like embossing, engraving etc. CLICK HERE to have a look at their website. You won`t be disappointed. :)

When I was asked to create an inspiration post for a party, I had so many ideas. So I choose to pick a party I would love myself. Creating that perfect Girls Night In essentially but with a party twist. Perfect if you want a BBQ or celebrating your Birthday or Hen during the summer months. 

"Morocco"

I really love the colours & decor of Moroccan themed items. So I thought it might be perfect. The colours are perfect for an early or late summer party. It really gives you that warm feeling even when the weather isnt great outside.

Colour Palette:

The colour palette I just love. The combination of light and bright pinks, peaches, yellows, oranges, purples and golds. Their is something really indulgent about the colours and the fact they all complement each other. Through patterns and block colouring you could fit all colours into one item.  

Decor.

Decor is so vast. Starting with textures and materials, silk and satin comes to mind along with sequin details. Whether you are drapping the fabrics over chair or tables the vibrant colours really bring in warmth. Combining pinks, golds and oranges in different patterns is a great way to break up block colours and also adding more demension. 

Lanterns are another part of the decor. I love them and i have a few scattered around my room as I love the look. You can just focus on the pattern itself or get some with coloured glass that fits your themed colours.  I think I will stop typing and just allow you to enjot the patterns and colours.:) I really think it brings it all together. 

If you cannot afford to get new lanterns, then DIY is great. Get a mason jar or jam jar, glass painting items, which you can get in any art shop. And design your own. It something worth while and something that you can get the look without splashing out. But still gives you the right look. 

I am so annoyed I have no event to plan so I can use this theme. But when looking into your invitation. Maybe look at the colours so pick 3. Maybe a background colour in Pink with a pattern in gold and writing in purple. The colour combo is endless. Take inspiration from either cushions or lanterns or fabrics to tie in your look. 

I think it would make a great girly night for Hens, Birthdays etc.. 

I would love to know if you try this or if you have, i would love to see some pictures.

I would recommend looking up Paperless Post. They will cater to your desired theme and needs. Price is also great value.  So CHECK THEM OUT!!!

Review: Catrice Eye shadow Palette & Highlighter

Hello Dolls, 

I decided on this lovely Sunday, I would do a  review on products that I have been trying lately, that I bought from Pennys/Primark in February.

I chose an Eye shadow palette and Highlighter from Catrice. I love alot of Catrice products from eyeliners, lip pencils and lipsticks, I do have an extensive collection. For the price, the quality of the products are amazing. 

So at the start of February I was looking for colours to go with a dress I wanted for a GAA Dinner Dance I was attending with my boyfriend. I fell in love with the colours and reminded me of some of the colours from the Naked 3 Palette and some MAC shadows.

Catrice Absolute Rose Palette: 010 Frankie Rose to Hollywood

The palette has 6 rose toned shades. From rose to rose gold, in 3 mattes and 3 pearl shades. Shades are from a light rose colour to deep plum with some rose gold flecks. The colours I have been using alot are the last 3 in the palette.  Shade 3 reminds me of MAC Satin Taupe, which is a pearl shade, the next is a matte taupe with a rose tone, which is great in the crease, kind of like MAC Quarry and finally the plum shade with rose flecks in it and gorgeous on.

I got this palette in Pennys/Primark for €4.99, which I found a great price and the quality is great. I already have the Nude version of this palette and for traveling or that last minute look for a night out, this is perfect for the handbag or traveling. You can go natural or smokey eyed. The only let down of the palette and this goes without saying for alot of palettes like these are the applicators, I did not like it at all and have not intention of using it either. I would give it 9/10. And recommend these palettes. 

Pure Shimmer Highlighter:

I have seen and heard so much about this highlighter online even before it was released. My thoughts where that it would be released in March and to my surprise the end of February I came across the Limited Collection " Nude Purism". So you can imagine I grabbed one in my local Pennys/Primark before they where going to sell out, and I can tell you once I announced I got one on Facebook, they had sold the next day. But I am glad to see they are back in the store. The highlighter itself has been described as a dupe for The Balm`s Mary Lou-Maniser. I myself have not tried Mary Lou yet so I cannot give my honest opinion on that. The highlighter itself is great value for the money and again a great makeup bag staple. At €4.59 where can you go wrong, The highlighter has a 3D structure and honeycomb effect. The texture is soft and silky and has fine graded nude and light reflects. I do find that because I am fair skined I really had to build this up alot to see any effect, also the honeycomb effect, even though lovely, does effect the amount I can on my brush. I think this would suit anyone with darker skin tones or tanned, the colour is a beautiful champagne and defiantly has a glow about it. I would give this 9/10 as I do feel like I need to build it up alot for myself. 

I do love  Catrice and I feel like the value again is great for the price. If you have any questions or have any other products you want me to try please let me know.

Where can you find me?
