Hospital Visit

Hey Guys! Yesterday morning I had to get surgery to get all four of my wisdom teeth out because they were growing in the wrong direction and pushing against my other teeth. I had to wear a paper gown that tied at the back for the surgery and get an I.V. in my arm to be put to sleep. I was a bit nervous going in to get the operation and going under anesthesia but everything went okay. When I woke up my mouth was numb and full of gauze and my face was very swollen. Whenever I tried to talk I sounded like Frankenstein's monster haha. Two hours after the waking up (and after drinking some water and having some jelly and ice cream ) I was able to go home. I've had to survive on a cold soft diet for two days so I've had a lot of ice cream and yogurts but i get to start having hot liquids tomorrow like soup. I can't eat anything solid for about five days and I can't have any taytos for a week in case it opens up my stitches (I'm dying for a bag of chili heatwave doritos :( ). It's so annoying because everyone on TV is having Barbecues (or in TOWIE's case a Carb-ecue) and all I want is a burger or some chicken...mmhh. I'm already planning a humongous feast for when I can eat properly again :) I'm still pretty swollen and sore but I'm taking a lot of pain killers and get to watch a lot of TV, eating a lot of ice cream so it's not so bad :)

Friday Favourite #5: Essence Eyeliner Pen (Extra LongLasting)

Hey Guys! This weeks Friday Favourite is the Essence Eyeliner Pen (Extra LongLasting). It comes in black and its great if your doing a dramatic makeup look. Although it's only €2.99, it comes out jet black, doesn't smudge and lasts the whole day. It is a good as eyeliners three or four times the price. Another thing I like about this eyeliner is that it comes off easily with a makeup wipe so you don't have to tug on your eye like you might with some other eyeliners that seem like you've got cement on your eyes when it comes to taking them off. Its really easy to put on because its in a pen form but it does create quite a thick line (this is why it's better for dramatic looks).For a finer line however, Essence also do a Super Fine Eyeliner Pen which I haven't tried yet but for the price (and if it's anything as good as the Extra LongLasting) it's worth a try. Whichever type of line you want, Essence liners are well worth the money and I'd recommend trying them :)

Duty Free and Paris Haul!


Hey guys! When I was in Paris last week I bought a couple of things in the duty free for a lot cheaper than I would have at home.The first things I got were on the way over in The Loop in Cork airport. I got Benefit's The Porefessional and a new They're Real Mascara because I have run out. I also got my first O.P.I. nail varnish because I've wanted to try O.P.I. for ages. The colour I got was Not So Bora Bora-ing Pink. It's a gorgeous colour that can be worn everyday and as soon as I saw the name, I knew I had to get it. I got it for €11.70 which was very good because I know that they are usually around €14 or something if not more. I saved a lot of money on the Benefit products, saving €20 between the two products as I got the Porefessional for €24 (whereas it's €35 at home in Boots) and I got the mascara for only €18 (Whereas it's €27 at home). I was very happy with this because I was going to get the mascara and Porefessional anyway so I saved a lot of money.

My favourite thing I got for a lot cheaper than usual was on an Aer Lingus flight home. They were selling the Real Techniques Core Collection for just €20 ( That's just €5 per brush). As ye know I already have the blush brush, stippling brush and the starter set, but I still wanted the core collection because I've heard that the buffing brush that is in it is the best of all the Real Techniques brushes. I had seen the core collection in Boots but it was for €28.99 so I was so happy that I got it for just €20 :)

Another thing that I bought on the trip is the coolest hoody ever... a Buzz Lightyear one. I got it in one of the Disneystores in Discovery Land in the Disneyland Park for €45.99. I know that's quite expensive but it's a really unique hoody and a great souvenir from the trip (also it's really warm and we hadn't packed for the cold, wet weather that was there when we went :P

Disneyland Paris Trip!

Hey Guys! As ye know I recently took a trip to Disneyland Paris. My Nana took me and my little sister there for two days. We stayed in one of the Disneyland Hotels called Cheyenne. It was set in a cowboy village and everything was cowboy themed. We had a great time over the two days and here are some pictures of our trip:

We went for Disneyland Paris' twentieth anniversary! 

It wasn't the weather we were expecting for Paris at the end of May :P
It lashed later that day for around three hours and we got soaked!
I had another picture where I got the sword out of the stone but i accidentally deleted it :P
