Mini Fashion Haul + Some Very BIG News!

Hey guys! So, I've been a little quiet the last 2 weeks on here and I am sorry about that.
I DO however have very good reasons which I will explain to you all now :) If you follow me on Instagram you will already know parts of this story ! (You can follow me  @shaunaashikarii )
Basically, I've been applying for jobs since I finished up in college in May. I really wanted a job in makeup, but I did apply to places like LUSH and other normal retail jobs, because while my dream job is makeup I had to be realistic and apply for other jobs. 

I did go for an interview for LUSH 2 weeks ago (I did not get that job btw), BUT oddly enough that night when I came home from that particular interview I then got another phone call asking me to come in for another interview....FOR INGLOT! So as you can imagine, I started freaking out !
So, I had my interview for Inglot on Tuesday just gone, I was EXTREMELY NERVOUS to the point where I was shaking and hyperventilating hahah 
I honestly came home preparing myself for bad news. 
The next day I got a call from the lovely lady who conducted my interview and I can tell you.......
I GOT THE JOB! :D So, I am gonna be working in Inglot's NEW STORE just off Grafton Street in the coming weeks!! I am very excited, so completely overwhelmed and shocked that I got this opportunity and I am so very grateful for it ! 

Anyway! So, I took alittle shopping trip to congratulate myself! & Also to stock up on black clothing (Inglot staff and most MUAs are required to wear all black ! )

Maxi Dress: Forever21
Size: Small
Price: 17.75euro 

Crop Tee: New Look Kids
Size: 14-15years
Price: 4.99euro

Flower Headband: Primark
Price: 3euro
(LOVE THIS, it's a much more understated flower piece than my 2 floral crowns!)

Hair Donut: New Look
Price: 3.99euro
(This is one of the smallest sizes they had as I got about 4-5inches cut off my hair so the bigger my hair can't cover the larger donut anymore!)

Tanning Mitt: Primark

Price: 3euro
(..Every girl's gotta have one haha)

So, thats all guys! When I said Mini Haul I ment MINI MINI!!! XD
I just wanted to show you guys the little bits I got and tell you my excited news!!
I will talk to you guys soon!

Glossybox: August Edition!

Heyy guys!
So my August Glossybox arrived this morning and I decided to show you guys what I got in this box and what I think of it!

For those of you who aren't familiar with Glossybox, its a subscription based monthly box with 5 products inside delivered to your door! They have a range of different payment options including 1 month subscription to 6 months! I've been getting it for the last couple of months and I have to stay its a really nice treat to get in the mail every month!  

 I haven't tried any of the products yet as I only got it today, but I'm just gonna let you know my first impressions of them :)

Eucerin Aquaphor Soothing Skin Balm: This is a multi-purpose balm for very dry and cracked skin. Eucerin is a trusted brand for people with very dry or irritated skin. I myself have suffered with Hyperkeratosis since I was a baby and Eucerin is one of the few brands I can use on my skin that doesn't cause a bad reaction!
I'm really looking forward to trying out this product!


                                     

Emite Make Up Eyelash Curler: (Sorry for the bad picture!) Emite is a brand I have never heard of before, but according to Glossybox their a  Swedish company who make tools for professional makeup artists. This is supposedly an eyelash curler that will work for all eye shapes. I don't normally use eyelash curlers, but I might give this one a go and it seems to come highly recommended. 

TRESemme Platinum Strength 60 Second Treatment Shot: I have used this brand a good few times! From their Shampoos, conditioners and their treatments! I always found them to be pretty good and extremely affordable! This treatment claims to help the most damaged parts of your hair in 60seconds. I said this about the Aussie 3 Minute Miracle and I'll say it about this, NO TREATMENT can work effectively that fast! Its just impossible! I think if I'm gonna try this, I'd leave it in for ATLEAST 5minutes if not more.


                                   

Jelly Pong Pong 2 in 1 Eyeliner & Shadow: A few Glossyboxes ago, I got a Jelly Pong Pong mascara which I quite enjoyed, so I was quite excited to see another one of their products in this month's box! While I like the idea of this product, there's a couple of things I don't like. Multipurpose products are always handy to have around for quick fixes, but I don't know if I'd ever wear the same coloured eyeliner and shadow along (would be a little bit plain don't you think? xD). Also the product didn't seem to blend very well, which makes me think it wouldn't be any easier on the lid. The colour isn't something I'd wear really either. I think if this product was in a brighter colour or even a black I would like it a lot more, but the colour I got would be much more suited to a lip colour.

  

Oceane Make Up Remover Pen: Once again, Oceane is a brand I'd never heard of and according to Glossybox it's a company from Brazil! This product really fascinated me from the get go! It says its a mess and fuss free makeup touch-up OR removal solution and it comes with 3 refills, which is awesome and these kid of pen like products tend to waste VERY quickly! This would be great for fixing lipsticks that have bled or eyeliner that's dragged on the lower lashline! I definitely think I'd use this and I really hope it works!


So everyone, that's the products from my August Glossybox!! I'm quite impressed with it and I'll definitely give all of the products a go!! If you want to go check out Glossybox for yourself, check out there website here http://www.glossybox.co.uk/ 

That's all from me today, but I'll talk to you guys soon!

My Lime Crime Lipstick Collection!

Heyy guys! So, this is a product that I have used for quite awhile now and I'm constantly raving about them on my youtube channel and have used them in videos. This product is of course the LIME CRIME LIPSTICKS! 

For those of you who want a little back story, Lime Crime was set up in 2008 by Doe Deere (she is the cutest woman ever, google image her!). Their products are CRUELTY-FREE and most of them are Vegan friendly too! How awesome is that?! As for their pricing, they are seriously affordable compared to other brands, specially when it comes to their lip products! A lime crime lipstick in euro is 12euro, whereas a MAC lipstick is 17.50euro! Which one would you choose? xD

So, I'm gonna show you the 7 lipsticks I have and the 1 Velvetine! I'm also gonna tell you the Pros AND Cons of these lipsticks :)

Left to Right: D'Lilac & Chinchilla 

D'Lilac is by far the BEST LILAC LIPSTICK I've ever tried! I always wanted a Lilac/Lavender lipstick cause its my favourite colour and I love cute pastels! This was the second one I tried and  it is gorgeous!

It does require a lot of top ups though, because its such a light colour. It's still beautiful though!

Chinchilla is a grey colour with purple undertones. This is one of the only colours I haven't really had a chance to wear yet, but it is lovely so I don't want to take away from that! It's a lovely colour and I definitely think it'll be slightly longer lasting than some of the other colours as its darker and has a matte finish.

  Left to Right: Airborne Unicorn & Poisonberry

Airborne Unicorn is one of the newest to my collection! It is a gorgeous purple colour with the most gorgeous pink hue! It is SUCH a unique colour, I literally have NEVER seen another colour like it ! If your looking for a great purple lipstick, this really is one you must check out!

Poisonberry was a lipstick I lusted after for MONTHS ever since I saw Rose Shock wear it in a photo on her fb page (Rose Shock is a massive makeup inspiration of mine!). It is the darkest purple Lime Crime offer. It is a dark purple colour with a slight magenta like hue from it. This colour has a constant shine so transfers quite badly (as in if you plan to kiss, DON'T wear this xD), but it really is beautiful. It reminds me of a lipstick I'd see a hot villain wearing ;)

                                                Left to Right: My Beautiful Rocket & Babette

My Beautiful Rocket is this MEGA BRIGHT ORANGE! This was the second orange lipstick I tried and it is fab! Absolutely love it! Orange can be quite a scary colour to wear, but honestly it really does look great! It makes a nice change from red, which I wear a lot!

Babette is one of the newest releases from Lime Crime. It was released on July 15th and I got it at the start of this month :) I wanted it, because I wanted a nude lipstick with some sort of colour in it, as most nude lipsticks make me look like I'm dead since I am very pale xD I will admit, it looked slightly odd to me when I first put it on, because I'm not used to wearing that kind of pale colour, BUT within afew minutes I really liked it. I did put a gloss over it to make it look a little more me and I wore it in my latest video the Rainbow Tag http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XU1tDXHWWBw

 Left to Right: Glamour 101 & Velvetine; Red Velvet

Glamour 101 is a deep, blue toned red lipstick! This could be compared to MAC's Russian Red, but a bit darker still. It really reminds me of a Dita Von Tease kind of colour! It's beautiful! This lipstick isn't quite a matte finish, but its not super shiny ! This is another colour that transfers pretty badly, but it's still absolutely stunning! Perfect for those girls who love their dark red lips!

Velvetine; Red Velvet is a true, matte red lip product! This was one of the FIRST Lime Crime product's I ever bought and it is STILL my favourite! It is my favourite red lip product of the current time and I have tried many!! I even did an entire video on How To Do Perfect Red Lips tutorial using this product http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNMGw-HqDlQ
And also, this product drys completely matte and LOCK TIGHT! It does not move!! What more could you ask for?!


To finish this post, I am gonna post up the list of Pros & Cons for these products, as I want this to be a completely honest review!

PROS:                                                                                        CONS:
Colour pigment is so strong                                                        Longevity is not that great, they do require
So many colours to chose from                                                  top ups (excluding: Velvetine)
Price range is quite affordable                                                    They transfer quite badly as they don't dry

Packaging is super cute                                                              completely matte (excluding: Velvetine)

The amount of lipstick you get is quite a lot.

HOW MUCH WOULD I LUST AFTER THIS PRODUCT?
4/5

So everyone, that is my Lime Crime lipsticks collection ! I hope this post was fun and maybe even useful for you if you were thinking of buying some of the Lime Crime lipsticks.

Bargain Buster Small Haul: New Look!

Heyy guys! 

So, as most of you who have watched my youtube channel would know, 
I LOVE NEW LOOK! My sister worked there for quite a long time so I used to be in there all the time
and even now, I ALWAYS go in when I'm clothes shopping! The store has such a wide selection and its really affordable (not to mention their kids section is fab and fits me :P).

Basically there's a New Look near where I live in a place called Northside shopping centre and the WHOLE STORE has been on sale the last while! Literally everything is either 50% or more off! Crazy bargains!
So, I couldn't resist popping in and seeing if I could grab a few things. Unfortunately, there wasn't a lot of clothes left in my size (which is size 8 for anyone whose curious haha), but there was a lot of nice little jewelry and jewelry is something I wear EVERY DAY! So, I'll show you guys what I got, what the original retail price was and what I ended up paying! :)

This headband  is the first thing I picked up! Lately, I've been OBSESSED with Floral headbands & floral crowns! I just LOVE THEM and how dramatic they look! This is just a nice simple one for everyday :)
Original Retail Price: 4.99euro
Sale Price: 2euro!

I've been getting into wearing rings A LOT  more lately, ever since I started being able to find rings that ACTUALLY stay on me (I have VERY small hands xD). So finding this little sets of rings was a great stroke of luck! My favourite one is definitely the swallow ring, as I'm completely in love with swallows!
Original Retail Price: 7.99euro
Sale Price: 4euro!

Another ring I bought! What drew me to this one was the eye in the centre! I also love the shape on it, I just think it looks so interested! I haven't wore it yet, so I've yet to see how comfortable it is xD
Original Retail Price: 4.99euro
Sale Price: 2euro!

I have only ever seen one person actually wear one of these and it was my friend from college! I always remembered it, cause I just thought it looked so unique. So, when I saw this one I thought I might as well grab it while I have the chance. I have worn it once and I will say its a little big for my small hand, but it does look cool!
Original Retail Price: 5.99euro
Sale Price: 3euro!

Just for the record, IT WAS SO HARD TO GET A GOOD PICTURE OF THIS! >.<

This is a floral patterned hair clasp (large hair clip). I have been loving this the last few days just to throw my hair up on lazy days (of which I've been having many :P ).
Original Retail Price: 3.99euro
Sale Price: 2euro!

 I decided to grab this snood style khaki green and black scarf. I know its summer, but it won't be soon!! xD
Original Retail Price: 5.99euro
Sale Price: 3euro!

So, this is the last thing I bought! This is a super cosy, peachy knitted jumper! I LOVE anything slouchy and this is the definition of slouchy! :D I bought this 3 sizes too big for me, too make sure it was super big and cosy (I bought a size 14 btw ). I also wore this jumper in my latest youtube video which was the Rainbow Tag if you wanna check it out here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XU1tDXHWWBw

Okayy guys, so that's my bargain busting haul for you!
I hope you like the little pieces I picked up and look forward too my next post which will be a post on my Lime Crime lipstick collection ! 

I'll talk to you guys soon!

Byee guys!

Day in the Life of ShaunaaShikarri :)

Heyy guys!
So I haven't posted up all this week and I am sorry for that!
I've been pretty busy as my mam has gone away for 2 weeks to Scandinavia and I've been looking after my house and my little doggy Luddy (his full name is Ludwig, but we all call him Luddy!)

Here's a picture of my little baby! He is my lil' prince :D

To keep me company while my mam is gone, my boyfriend Stephen has moved in, which was actually my mam's idea ha 

My mam absolutely adores my boyfriend and wanted him to keep me company while she was gone!
Me & Stephen are planning on filming the boyfriend tag video this week btw so if anyone enjoy watching those videos (I do cause I think their so adorable ^__^ ) then look forward to seeing that on my youtube channel!

This is a picture of myself and Stephen from London in June !

I did however pop into town for an hour to get some food bits in Tescos and on my way I stopped off at LUSH ! I absolutely adore LUSH products from their facemasks, to the bathbombs ! 

I decided to treat myself to 2 new bathbombs Twilight & Big Blue. 

Twilight bathbomb is a gorgeous purple bathbomb that is scented with Lavender (one of my FAVOURITE smells!).
Its supposed to be super relaxing and its also supposed to change colour from bright to dark to resemble a sunset, ohhh lovely!

The Big Blue bathbomb is a blue/green bathbomb that has pieces of real seaweed dispersed throughout it!

One of my favourite facemasks from LUSH is BB Seaweed and I adore anything that reminds me of the beach! So I just had to grab this one! Its supposed to turn your bath water a lovely blue foamy colour, just like the sea :D 

So, the rest of my week has been taken up by cleaning, dog watching and the normal household stuff :)
I am waiting on quite a lot of makeup orders, INCLUDING a Limecrime package which includes the new Babette! Once it arrives, I will be doing a blogpost on ALL my Lime Crime lipsticks including pros & cons
+ SWATCHES!! :D
Thats all from me for now, but I will talk to you guys soon!

Byee guys!

Inglot Launch Event in Blanchardstown + Mini Inglot Haul!

Heyy guys!
So, I received an email at the start of the week from Inglot about a launch event they were having for their new Nightlife Nail Collection in their Blanchardstown store.
This was the second time I got an email about one of these events, unfortunately I couldn't go to the first one so I was determined to get to this one.
I had to make the awfully long trek to Blanchardstown ( over an hour to get there and the same to get home, nightmarish! ), but I'm thoroughly glad I went after buying some little goodies with my nice discount xD

So, I have an Inglot pro card which ment I had a discount already, but on top of that I got an extra discount because it was a launch event so YAY!! :D
And I also got some free little goodies with my purchase which was an extra little treat!
I'm gonna show you guys the products I bought and then the products I received with my purchase.


First up, I bought a new 5 pan Freedom System Palette!

Colours from left to right:
151, 397, 504, 366, 335

Second thing I bought was a product I've wanted to get for a while now! Its their Sparkling Dust!
Makes an absolutely FAB cheekbone highlight!

The last product I bought myself was a really nice shiny lipgloss!


Sleeks Lipgloss No.48

The free products I received from Inglot was a Blusher, a nail polish and a voucher for a free lash application!

       
Face Blush No.37

 
(IGNORE THE BLUE NAIL VARNISH XD)
Nail Enamel (I could NOT find a number on the bottle, sorryyy >.< )

So, all in all my little trek to Inglot was a success! Got some very nice products that I love and I saved a bit of money thanks to the lovely discount!
The staff at Inglot are always a pleasure to talk to aswell.
Hope you all enjoyed this post!
And I'll talk to you guys soon!

Byee guys!
