NUXE launch party at House.

Whenever I see a product described as a cult favorite, I’m instantly skeptical.The exception for me is Huile Prodigieuse Dry Oil from Nuxe, and it fully lives up to its “cult favorite” label. The oil leaves skin soft and shimmering, not at all greasy, and applying the golden liquid feels like a luxury spa treatment. (So my mum tells me)

The company turned to the same perfumer who created the beloved Nuxe oil scent, Serge Majoullier, and asked him to blend Prodigieux, Le Parfum*.


The moment I spray on Le Parfum, I notice that the main difference between the oil and the perfume is the fresh layer. The fragrance opens up with citrus orange, bergamot, mandarin, and also green orange blossom.The topical sent from the Le Parfum, it’s joined by lemony magnolia and green rose.




The perfume plays with freshness for only a short while, and within 30 minutes, the flowers fade to a creamy blur, and your skin is steeped in vanilla, coconut and brown sugar. It’s sweet, although not overly sweet like a number of perfumes. The milky sweetness persists until the perfume vanishes. Ten hours later I still enjoy the smell upon myself, Wow.




As I was invited to the launch party by another blogger http://blog.makeupfordolls.com/, I was excited that this would be on in 'House', a bar/nightclub/restaurant on Lesson Street, we both walked into a room of bloggers, celebs and guests. We were nicely greet by NUXE. I greedily gulped down the lovely free drinks as I was taken back with the beautiful surroundings. With the neutral backdrop of oranges, bergamot and green leaves the Prodigieux La Parfum stood out on each table, among this was some of the cult products. We were all treated to hand treatment by the lovely NUXE specialists.


How do I feel about Prodigieux le parfum. It’s a fun, well-crafted tropical floral, t’s a great, affordable option. I have also taken to spraying in on my bedspread in the morning, I have not one bad thing to say about this product. Addict to NUXE...... Hell yes!

Beardizer?

According to blogger Garance Doré, the beard is a trend that simply won't die in NYC.  Hey, we don't blame the New Yorkers: It's always nice when a beauty trend allows us to actually do less — when you think about it blow dries aren't as popular, most pale people (like me) don't wear tan anymore and BIG brows? Hell yes please. High fives all around!

Men aren't the only ones benefiting from the rise in popularity of male facial hair. Women like myself seem to be eating it up like never before.My friends will back me up on how crazy I am about guys with beards and tattoos, but girls,OK not all guys with beards and tattoos are good. Chalk it up to the classic bad-boy attraction, but a guy who looks like a lumberjack with a motorcycle always seems to send my heart atwitter.

So, readers, what do you think of the seemingly never-ending beard trend? Are you a beardizer? Or, do you refuse to judge a book man by his facial hair?

Sleepy rollers review.

I invested in the Sleep-in-rollers, In glitter gold. They were on special for 12 Euro for a packet of 3 sets, hair pins and the sleep-in-bag. In my opinion..... Bargain! My sister Amy's hair always looks great and she uses the pink ones!

So yesterday I popped them in, leaving them for about 40 mins, my hair has extensions so was unsure how they would take. The hair extensions I have are in fact real hair. I didn't use any product.

I don't feel this picture does it justice as the curls were amazing, they did drop however. But today they are still sitting well. Would I recommend them? YES!!!

Most stores have them, I got the Gold Glitter gift pack in Salon Services, this is located in the Red Cow, the usual cost is 17.99 for the gift pack. You can get knock-off versions on Henry's Street, at just 5 euro for a pack of 2 roller sets and a bag, I don't know if these are as good, but if money is tight? Well 5 euro wont kill you!! Has many people used these??

AMAs 2013 Best and worst dressed?

I usually don't have much time for Kathy Perry but my god I love, love this dress. She pulled out all the stops and totally rocked her floral and polka dot Oscar de la Renta frock. Check out also her quirky Olympia Le-Tan dictionary clutch.

Taylor Swift... amazing hair and make-up. The shoes are on style, I adore the belt and the shape of the dress, however I hate this dress. It makes her look like she has a tummy in it, everyone knows Taylor Swift has an shape to die for, this dress is a NO from me.

Newly announced as the face of Versace, Lady Gaga wore the flowing lilac dress from her ad to the AMAs. And accessorised with a horse (not a real one). As you do. *insert something about Gaga on a horse shape-thing*

I am saying noting. My mother told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say then say noting'.

Christina, I love her hair, always have, always will. The shade and shape of the dress is lovely. The only bad thing is I dislike the circle at the side. Thoughts people?

These girls know style when they see it. Hair and make-up is incredible, shoes prefect. I have noting more to say then yes and yes.

These are just a few of the AMAs dressed, did anyone else have anything to say about the best and worst dressed??
