Brand Focus: Forever 21 Beauty

I'd been noticing how cute the beauty accessories in Forever 21 are for a while now - from makeup cases to brushes, all in super-adorable prints and colours.

And then I noticed that in America, it gets better. Sadly, we're missing out. The US site shows that you can get makeup, skincare, shower gels and body mists. They also happen to be super-affordable and I've spotted some products that are dead ringers for other, more expensive ones. The Sheer Lip Color looks just like Tony Moly's gloss bars and the mascara looks like Tony Moly's Cats Wink. The Mega Shine Lip Gloss reminds me of Hourglass' lip glosses for a fraction of the price...and I have to wonder if the formula is the same too?

Bring the full line to Europe!

PLZ.

What about you guys? Wish these were sold in Europe too?

September Obsessions.

Ahead of one of the biggest months in fashion (which coincides with my birthday - a coincidence? I think not!) and a new season, here are some of the things I'm most excited by/craving/stalking.

Clockwise from top (l-r) - 1. Neckerchiefs 2. Bomber Jackets 3. Cateye Sunglasses 4. Gloves.

Back home.

Back from visiting my roomie in Cavan today. It's always weird saying goodbye over the summer because we see each other every day during the college year, so it was great to spend time with her. Now she's off to get her Lara Croft on for a bit! I'm physically sore from how much we all laughed but a great time was had by all. This is the reason the outfit posts have been so...well, non-existent but I've taken pictures so they'll be up!

The following outfit is comfy for journeying home and then trekking around shops in Dublin with Sarah D for hours with luggage. It doesn't really conform to any style or look...There's some hippy in there with the headband, there's the Aztec prints I'm so fond of, there's polka-dot tights, a preppy denim dress and gothy runners. I'm such a mess of a human being!

Messing with hue settings

Benefit's new mascara. Allowed a woman to do my whole face and then didn't buy any of the make-up because I don't really care about it...
