As an advocate of high end foundations I have always believed that spending the extra money on them pays off.  However, I am always on the look out for cheaper alternatives as using a high end foundation everyday can become quite an expensive habit.   Loreal True Match is an affordable drug store foundation with many high end qualities. This product was designed to match your skintone with the idea of it giving a natural finish. The coverage can be light if desired however it can certainly be built up to flawless.  The liquidy formula means It applies beautifully onto the skin and blends like a dream.  Unlike some others this foundation can also be built up throughout the day without leaving streaks or tide marks. Another pro is the way it feels on the skin, it's light creamy formula is weightless leaving your skin feeling free and looking radiant. If you are looking for something affordable that will last the long working day and g...

On Sunday I had the pleasure of attending the Cocoa Brown #passionpersistencepink event in The Shelbourne Hotel. Like all Bloggers I love being invited to events and launches and when it is for a product I am already passionate about it makes it extra special. I could spend hours talking about how fantastic the day was but I will try my best to keep it short and sweet... On arrival at the hotel we were greeted by Marissa herself and X factor make up designer Julia Carta. There was an opportunity to get a photograph with both Marissa and Julia which in my opinion was fantastic considering the amount of people who attended the Event! Photo credit:  Brian McEvoy The room setting was beautiful and the round tables made it easy to have a chat with fellow Coacoa Brown advocates.  The event kicked off with an introduction from Marissa and if you didn't know how passionate she was about her brand Cocoa Brown already you certainly knew after this!

Yesterday I attended the Cocoa Brown #passionpersistencepink event and I will have all the fabulous details up on my blog very soon but for now here are my outfit details from the day: I picked up this gorgeous dress in Primark while I was in London last week for £10. It's so comfy but the chiffon fabric makes it look a little bit dressy! I'm a big fan of layering as I feel it adds to any outfit so I added a washed out black denim shirt. I also picked this up in Primark last week and I'm sure it is available in Penneys too. This will go with so many items in your existing wardrobe so it is well worth picking up. If you can't find a shirt like this a boyfriend style denim jacket will have the same effect. This one from ASOS is fab:    Shop it here:  Asos.com As for accessories I picked out a black leather bag I have had in my collection for years.  The fringing detail is so on trend  and the silver stu...
