Week 4 *Weigh In*

Helllo guys! Hope everyone is having a good week?

I got weighed on Saturday again. I didn't go mad on the exercise last week, I only did two days.
I've been lucky on this diet so far, although I did go to a retirement party on Friday night, it was difficult to not give into temptation, however the weigh in proved that not giving in , in fact , paid off.

So this week i  lost 3.73 pounds. Which means the total weight loss for this month was 1 stone and 6 pounds ( 1 1/2 stones) or as most countries know it as 20 pounds. I'm really happy with the results. I know the first month is meant to be the highest number of weight loss but i'm not complaining. If anyone is on a weight loss journey, i'd like to hear how you find it? any advice to give !

Week 3 *Weigh In*

Heya again!!


So i got weighed yesterday , yet again!
I was a bit disappointed with this weigh in. I know a person is not meant to lose a substantial amount each week, but, since I am eating the shakes and doing a lot of exercise , i thought the number lost would be higher. However, I am happy that i did lose something, I think that's the main thing really, aslong as i didn't put anything on.

This week, I did the zumba class (which got a lot harder), I went swimming and I  also took part in aqua aerobics again.

So here is the results for this week.

I lost 2.43 pounds.

I know most people want to know what weight i must have started on and i will inform you further into the programme.

Is anyone else on a diet? Did it work for you? How was keeping the weight of?

I'd love to know!!

Talk soon

Week 2 *Weigh In*

Hi Guys! I am going to keep this short and sweet as I am very busy with college lately.

This week I started doing exercise three days of the week. I went swimming, did aqua aerobics and also started Zumba. 

I was shocked with the results as people lose more weight the first week than the second but as I said before , I seem to be backwards. 

I lost 7.7 pounds this week. So in total I have lost about 1 stone.

This week I am going to try do exercise 3 days this week again and not up it to 4 because I will most likely burn out. I am also going to take the stairs instead of the lift , walk to the shop instead of driving etc. 

Hopefully I will have good news next week too!
My goal is to be skinny by July.

Have a lovely week

Week 1 *Weigh In*

Hey Guys! 

Just filling you in on my first weigh in for those who were asking !!
 Well i was nervous for the first week being quite honest. I was told not to expect high numbers each week as the first week was mainly water retention.

Most people on this diet are tired and hungry the first couple of days , but I, turned out to be awkward and I was perfectly fine the first couple of days and the opposite towards the end of the week. However, today resulted in good news and I am happy with it because it was a struggle and it should be easier from here on out. 

Today I lost 6.2 pounds.

Have a good week lovelies!!

EOTD- 27.01.12- Berry Smokey Eye

Hii guys! 

Well this is just a post to show you my EOTD.

If you would like a pictorial on how to do this look please let me know.
This is how the look turned out.




I created this look by playing around with colors from my Manly palette. The palette is extremely pigmented and the colors aren't necessarily unique so it would be likely that you have similar colors to create this look yourself.



I feel this is a classic smokey and sultry look. I hope to hear what you think. 
Please let me know :)

M.A.C Haul/Review

Hello guys!!

So this year Santa got me a voucher for the Brown Thomas store which sells M.A.C makeup products in Ireland, amongst other things.  So i am just going to share with you what I got.



I absolutely love M.A.C products and it was great to get a voucher because I ran out of my essentials. I decided to get the M.A.C Duo Fibre Brush because I wanted a more even and clean finish.


M.A.C Duo Fibre Brush
I got number 187 of the M.A.C Duo Fibre Brush and I use it for stippling on my foundation and also for blending face powder. Furthermore, it states that it is made from goat and synthetic fibres. The brush itself feels so soft on the  skin and the makeup appears blended , clean and even.



M.A.C Mineralize Skinfinish- Soft and Gentle


The next product i acquired was the M.A.C Mineralize Skinfinish in the shade Soft and Gentle. The packaging it really professional which I love and the product itself is luxurious. It is incredibly soft and has a slight shimmer finish.



It applies smooth and lustrous, it polishes the face and leaves a satin finish. I use it as a highlight, on top of the cheek bones, the bridge of the nose and also on the brow bone . This product will get a lot of use.





M.A.C Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation- NC20


This product is my favorite out of the lot, and possibly my favorite in general. This is the M.A.C Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation in the shade NC20 as I am very pale. This is a powdered foundation that leaves a matte and full coverage finish. I never liked powder foundations prior to using this product because it always appeared as though i wasn't wearing any foundation at all. I also love that it has a matte finish because my skin is ultra oily and I did NOT want a glossy looking face. I did not need to apply powder after applying this product. The skin appeared smooth ,blemish free and absolute almost completely flawless.






It claims to stay on for 8 hours which I would be inclined to agree with.


































The last product I want to discuss , is the satin lipstick i got. 




M.A.C Satin Lipstick- Snob





This is the M.A.C Satin lipstick in the shade of Snob.  This lipstick has actually got a soft scent to it. It is not sticky which i notice with a lot of lipsticks and it has a real creamy texture to it which i LOVE!!!  I will definitely be getting more lipsticks from  M.A.C once i have the money of course. 



That's everything I got. If you have these products let me know, or if you have any questions!! :)
