What better excuse is there to dress up to the nines than a friends wedding? When it comes to looking for that perfect wedding guest outfit my first stop is always ASOS. Whether your style is understated or extravagant ASOS has something for everyone and with so many brands available the only thing you have to worry about is whether you have the time to scroll through the many pages of options. Fashion at weddings can be a feast for the eyes with full length gowns, cocktail dresses, trouser suits, co-ords and many many more types of outfits on display. My personal favourite is a floor length gown as this particular style exudes glamour and is in keeping with such a big occasion. My latest ensemble of choice was this beautiful Jarlo gown which I purchased from ASOS.

It goes without saying that us girls love to be constantly bronzed and beautiful, but unfortunately the cold Irish weather can turn tanning into a bit of a chore. Typically I am a fan of build up tans, with my favourite being 'Cocoa Brown 1 hour Tan Moose Dark'. My usual routine would be to apply the first layer of tan on Thursday evening and the second layer the following day, with the result being a beautiful deep yet natural looking tan. Sometimes however tanning twice a week just does not fit into my routine, especially during the winter months when all I want to do is hop straight into my pj's as soon as I get out of the shower. This is where Marissa Carter's latest offering comes into play. 'Cocoa Brown Instant Tan Bronzing Gel' is a dream come true for lazy tanners. Here are some of the many benefits of using this must have tanning product: There is no waiting time for the tan to develop. The colour you see is the colour you...

Foundation Another year goes by and I am yet to find a more reliable foundation than my beloved Estée Lauder Double Wear.  The coverage, the longevity and the overall performance of this product outdoes every other foundation I have tried this year. Drop into the lovely girls in Debenhams Henry Street to get colour matched. False lashes Gone are the days when I would spend €8 on one pair of Eyelures. Not only are Primark Sultry lashes great quality, at €1.50 a pair they won't break the bank.  The perfect replacement for your expensive high end favourites.   Tan 2015 was without a doubt the year of Cocoa Brown.  Not only did Marissa Carter dominate the self tan market with her 1 hour mouse, she then went on to release a life saver for last minute nights out with 2 instant bronzing gels and finally topped off the year with the release of beautiful Golden Goddess body oil. I can't recommend cocoa brown products enough...

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...
