Christmas wouldn't be the same without a good knitted jumper or dress to keep you warm and cosy during the most exciting time of the year.
They give you that warm festive feeling and they are fun to get you into the Christmas spirit! If you find the right Christmas jumper for you, it can even be great to wear on Christmas day.
A Christmas jumper is perfect to wear on a planned day out shopping with the fam, bringing your little ones to see Santa, going to your local Christmas lights switch on or even to wear on a night out with the gals.
It is a handy and festive little number to have in your wardrobe and here are some great ways to wear the festive Christmas jumper stylishly.
A jumper dress with a cute print like this is a casual way to tone it down and play the Christmas jumper look cool this year. This would be super cosy and easy to dress up or down! Throw on tights and a leather jacket and you are good to go! Shop here.
Hey dolls,
Happy Friday & I hope your all having a lovely start to this bank holiday weekend. I wanted to share one of my favourite tans with you. Looking out the window now it looks like our summer is over so what better time to share my top tanning tips & a review on the Moroccan Tan I've been loving for so long.
I love the colour this tan develops too, It's a dark shade but looks very natural & wears off really well. You're not left it patchy tan like with other tans. The exotic mousse is infused with Argan and Rosehip oils and enriched with a blend of vitamins to achieve intense skin nourishment and a longer lasting tan.
My top 3 tanning tips
Happy Friday & I hope your all having a lovely start to this bank holiday weekend. I wanted to share one of my favourite tans with you. Looking out the window now it looks like our summer is over so what better time to share my top tanning tips & a review on the Moroccan Tan I've been loving for so long.
I started using Moroccan tan about 2 years ago, I first received it from the lovely gals at the Publicity Loft and loved it so much I picked up a few bottles at the beauty show. I remember what caught my attention initially was the airbrush spray tan. It wasn't your average airbrush tan bottle, it was very luxurious and the product was much bigger than most Airbrush tans.
The first time I tried it I fell in love with the scent, it reminded me of being on holidays. When applying the airbrush tan I spray it directly onto my skin and used a mitt to blend it in evenly. When using the Instant Exotic mousse I apply it onto a mitt then blend it evenly over my body.
A word of warning when using the airbrush spray, don't use your mothers best white towels, it tends to have a little over spray so applying it in the backroom on a surface that cleans easily is best :) I love tanning in the shower so I can just rinse the tan away afterward.
Here is a before & after using the Exotic Mousse
My top 3 tanning tips
- Keep your skin exfoliated, fake tan sticks to any dry patches on the skin. I always like to use a body scrub or exfoliating gloves prior to tanning and also in between to help the fake tan wear off evenly.
- Keep your skin moisturised the days after you initially tan. I use a body oil or body butter to keep my skin hydrated and it helps the fake tan to last longer.
- Make sure you scrub all the old tan off before reapplying. I know its an obvious tip but most people apply tan over old tan and the layers build up and your tan can look mucky or dirty.
I hope you enjoyed this little review and if you haven't heard of Moroccan Tan check out their website here
Moroccan Tan is exclusive to salons & they also offer spray tans.
Happy Tanning,

Hey Dolls,
I wanted to share with you all the amazing time I had at the #UDGetaway. A small group of bloggers where invited to have an over night stay for the launch of Urban Decay's summer collection. It was so much fun and in the cutest little estate in Tankardstown house. I had a little cottage all to myself and it was so gorgeous. I could have stayed there for a week.
When I arrived I chilled out in my cottage until Lauren got there, then we headed to the house to chill, drink tea and talk blog stuff. At 7pm we all met up together to take a look at the new collection, it was stunning. I always love what Urban Decay release, they have some of my favourite products.
We then headed to the Brabazon restaurant for an amazing 7 course meal. I was stuffed and headed to head at midnight while some of the others stayed up later to enjoy some drinks, if only I could haha.

Hey dolls,
It been awhile since I shared a makeup review with you all. Today I want to talk about a makeup brand that is being talked about a lot in the press right now and I also seen a demo if it in Xposé last week.
I started using the brand Cailyn last summer and what drew me to the brand was the uniqueness of the products. The O!wow brush is a brush that I have seen everywhere lately, it has the softest hairs and applies foundation flawlessly.
The BB compact foundation is an amazing product, I love the finish of it and it wears really well. Ive been wearing this foundation on days when I don't want to wear a lot of makeup but still want to look fresh faced. It has a lovely coverage and feels so light weight on the skin. It is super hydrating and give a gorgeous luminous finish.

In the picture above I am just using the BB foundation, I don't need to set it with any powder, it feels so soft on and lovely and dewy. It applies so easily and quickly with the O!wow brush. This product is perfect for anyone that likes to do there makeup in a few minutes and it is great for on the go because of the handy compact.
I am also wearing the Idefine eyeliner. it is so easy to apply and perfect for beginners getting into eyeliner. it is not too liquidy so glides on nicely and the thin felt tip makes applying the wing so easy.
If you want to pick up any of these products you can click here and if you use the code Grace you get an amazing 20% off
Happy shopping and let me know if you have tried this brand before.

Hey dolls,
Some of you might remember a couple of weeks back I popped into Aqua Beauty to have a facial. I opted for the SkinBreeze facial as it was something I had never tried and had heard so much about.
Aqua Beauty is the only salon in Ireland that does this treatment. I wanted to share my experience with you. I know some of you will want treat your skin to something luxurious this new year. This is the one for you.
The Skinbreeze facial is a 60 minute non invasive facial that helps to hydrate, plump out and rejuvenate the skin. I think I need to book in for a second one now after all the bad yummy food and late nights over Crimbo. My skin is looking a bit tired. This treatment is amazing for anyone with dry skin, ache prone skin. It is great for brightening and tightening and has brilliant anti ageing results.
The owner Michelle did my facial and it was one of the nicest, most relaxing facials I've ever had. It also included a head, shoulder and foot massage. I think at one point I actually fell asleep haha.

SO why is Skinbreeze different from a regular facial? Well I'll tell you.... Skinbreeze is an advanced hydrating treatment that fuses 5 technologies in one system that include; Orbital Microdermabrasion, LED Light Therapy, O2 Spray, O2 Infusion and O3 Ozone Therapy. Skinbreeze provides a unique crystal-free method of microdermabrasion that simultaneously delivers red and blue light therapy. The Skinbreeze orbital microdermabrasion method provides unparalleled control with 60 different levels of abrasion and uses a hygienic disposable treatment tip and is vacuum free which means that there is no dragging or pulling on the skin during treatment which is one thing I loved. it was so gentle on my skin. That is the technical terms but it felt like my skin was being pumped with light and brightness. After the facial my skin looked tighter and felt so super smooth. My makeup ever applied better :)
If you are looking to treat yourself or to get a fab gift for someone special I definitely recommend popping into Michelle in Aqua Beauty and having the Skinbreeze facial.

Let me know if you have tried it or if you do try it :)

Hey my dolls,
TGIF is right and today I want to share with you some AMAZING, high quality makeup at an affordable price. Sleek is by far one of my favourite drug store makeup brands. I have been using it for years, evenmwhen it was only available in the UK. Every time I visited London I was always straight to Superdrug to stock up on my much loved Sleek products.
On Tuesday, I was kindly invited by the Publicity Loft to the official launch of Sleek Makeup here in Ireland. Although it has been on the shelves of many Boots and pharmacies, we never really had a proper welcome party for the brand. I was delighted with the lovely invite and was very impressed with the event. It was so cutesy and welcoming and I knew so many bloggers and vloggers that attended. It was like a nice night out for us girls to mingle over cupcakes, Rosé and makeup. Three of my faves haha.
As the event came to an end and we all said our goodbyes, Emily from the Publicity Loft presented me with a gorgeous goodie bag. She also sent me home with a box of macaroons and an absolutely beautiful flower arrangement. If you follow me on Snapchat I am sure you have seen it by now.
Anyway, I wanted to share some of the fab products Sleek Makeup has to offer us lovely Irish bunch. Check out your nearest Boots or pharmacy to see if they stock Sleek or check their website.
The I-Divine Palette €9.99 Buy Here
I-Quad in Midnight Blues - €7.49 Buy Here

Hi Girls
As you all will know from the late night and early morning post from me, I don't get much sleep. And when I do sleep it usually doesn't last very long.
I attended Benefits event two weeks ago and they unveiled their new product "Puff Off" I had a eureka moment when I stopped and thought "Yes Grace, this could be the answer to those puffy, dark eyes of yours" and boy was I right. I have been testing out "Puff Off" for the past two weeks and I had to share this amazing product with you gals.
Many women ( and men, we can't forget you lot) suffer with puffy, swollen under eyes due to the stress and strains of day to day life. Late nights, long days and the occasion all nighter which can lead to unattractive eyes the morning after.
Personally I find my eyes get sore and tired if I have done any of the above, or all of the above haha and nothing feels nicer then applying a product that will cool, calm and refresh those tired eyes.
Benefit have produced this amazing new instant eye gel to help smooth out the look of puffies.
To be honest, at first, I didn't care if this product worked or not, the packaging had me at Hello :) I am a sucker for cute packaging and Benefit you have really out done yourselves this time. It's a miniature iron for god sake! What girl in their right mind would pass this baby without a second glance. Some would want it, if for nothing else than a cute Instagram picture haha.
But seriously, the product actually does work and here is where it is going to be a game changer in your skincare routine.
This hypo-allergic, nickel free mini iron applicator fits perfectly into the inner corner of your eye, is cool on contact and irons away any fine lines and wrinkles. Genius! The formula of this gel helps to reduce puffiness and has a cooling agent that is so refreshing on the eyes.
I use "Puff Off" daily if not twice daily when I am having a particularly hard day. It has light diffusing particles that illuminate any under eye black bags and leaves that areas beautifully highlighted. I definitely feel and see a massive difference in my under eyes since using this product. My eyes which are normally dehydrated and dark, are now smooth as silk and brighter than ever. It is now a staple in my beauty pamper routine and a makeup bag must have. I think it will be staying in mine for the long run.
I hope you girls go out and try it. "Puff Off" is launching in stores on January 31st and retails for€30.50
