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!!!

Summer Trends- #SummerBloggerChallenge Week 2!

Hello Ladies. 

So it`s week two of Summer Blogger Challenge, set by @amygoldfish . 

This week is "Summer Trends", which I love.

Again, a great one if you are heading on your holl`ers and want to try something you would never try on your everyday life!

Unfortunately it`s hardly warm or sunny today in Ireland, Thunder/Lightening....NEED I SAY MORE! But to take my mind off whats going outside, I am to be Summery inside! 

My trend for this summer is "BLUE & ORANGE"
Seen on the catwalks this year both in makeup and materials, Blue and Orange are in this Summer 2014..

When using blue this Summer, you can use it on the lid (looks great on Brown Eyes)  and create that smokey eye! OR as a liner on the waterline, which really opens up your eyes, great for that POP! Especially if you are testing the waters. One that was big on the red carpet was BLUE Gel Liner. There are so many ways to incorporate it into your makeup.

As for Orange I love to use it on my cheeks as a blush or on the lips. You can get different shades, weather its a coral, which is subtle or a bright orange lippy or an orange red lipstick, there are so many tones to choose from. If you find it doesnt suit you, keep trying different shades as different undertones suit different skins. Orange is a great upbeat, happy colour. A nice alternative to red, especially during the summer, I tend to leave the reds for the winter. 
Weather you want a light balm, a stain, a gloss, a lipstick there are so many now  to choose from. 

AND HERE`S MY CREATION!!

*makeup on myself and my own work and photo taken by me*

I used a blue liner and shadow on the waterline and under the lashline, groomed brows, highlighted cheekbones, a bronze to the skin, weather you go for heavy or light coverage foundation is up to you, I went for a medium coverage and concealed. I kept my skin glowy and dewy. I went for a light frosted silver shade on the eye and defined with a darker grey. Added black to the lash line and smudged. Curled lashes and black mascara.

Lips was a moisturizing balm in a bright orange. I love orange and blue with my brown hair.

Review: Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balms

Hello Girls,

So I bought these two matte balms in early March and feel i have had the time to test and try these out and give my opinion. 

I was a bit skeptical when I was buying these balms, simply because I had tried many before and did not like them one bit. Deciding because I had heard many good reviews on these I would give it ago. 

The two colours I picked up where....

205 Insaissable - this is a "My Lips but Better" medium pink. 

245 Audacious -  Coral Orange

Great colour to dip your toe in the Orange trend...

These are such a easy lip product to wear. Carry it in your bag and apply and off you go, will give a great pop or added something to your makeup. Because they are MATTE, they are surprisingly and comfortably mositurising , which is very unusual. They have a menthol strong scent, so if smelling products or menthol isnt your thing , then steer clear. I really love these for everyday and they add that extra colour to your look that isnt over powering. Perfect for everyday. These come in a glossy lacquer formula aswell, which i havent tried. These have some great shade ranges and are about €17.
