Weekly Round Up #7

Here what's I got up to last week...

Monday I got these lovely goodies from Vivo Cosmetics. This brand has just launched in Tesco stores in the UK. I've seen great reviews on their products so far. I'm looking forward to trying them out for myself. I'll have a review up on these products when I get back from my holidays.

Tuesday As it's my boyfriend's 23rd birthday this month I knew I had to get him something special. As well as getting him some other bits I also got tickets for Batman Live in The 02. The ads for this show on Tv look amazing so I'm rather excited about going. It looks like Cirque De Soleil style show with Batman in it.

Wednesday I purchased one of the Rimmel 'Kate Moss Collection' Lippies in Boots. All the lipsticks looked great from vibrant to neutral shades there was so much choice. I ended up going for shade no3 which is a neutral shade (swatched below). It seemed to be one of the more popular ones as they were nearly all out of it in two stores.

Saturday My sister moved into her first apartment which is very exciting. I went to see the place and it looked amazing. I can see myself spending loads of time over there. My nephew seems to love it too as it's so big and he has plenty of room to run around in.

The rest of my week was taken up with running small errands that I needed to get done before my holiday. I'm going to Barcelona tomorrow, the last week has flew by and of course I can't wait to go now. I will definitely take plenty of pictures while I'm them so expect a post when I get back.

What did you get up to during last week?

Weekly Round Up #6

Here's what I got up to last week...

 Monday I finalised my plans for Barcelona. Hotels and Flights are booked...YAY!!  I'm heading over in mid-September so I'm hoping the weather is fantastic. I've heard such great things about this lovely city so of course I'm very exciting about going. I will be taking my camera with me so expect a post about my adventures when I'm back. One of my stops in Barcelona will be to Sephora, as it is makeup heaven. Shockingly I've never been to one so it's a necessity that I go. If there is anywhere in particular I should when I'm there??

Tuesday My room is finally complete. My new floors and shelves look great. I'm still in the process of putting all my belongings back in my room. All my stuff has been in my sister's old room for a while so needless to say my room still looks a mess. My last Shopaholic's Journey post before my holiday also went up today.

Wednesday I met up with my lovely sister and my nephew. I hadn't seen them for an age as I've just been so busy. It's always nice to see my nephew as he's getting so big. It's weird that he's going to be one in 2 weeks, I have no idea where the time has gone. It's really cute cause he's beginning to walk a little and say little words here and there.

Thursday My mom came home from work with these lovely goodies. Her lovely friend got them for me which I thought was so nice. As you can see there is a few different products from the brands Catrice and Essence. One of the products she gave me isn't pictured above and it's the Essence Lash Mania Volume Mascara. It's fab and I have been using it everyday since I got it.

 

Friday I went to see the new Planet of the Apes movie, Rise Of the Apes with my boyfriend, Paddy. I don't want to give to much of this movie away which I have a big habit of doing. What I can tell you is that this movie is really good. I wasn't too keen on going cause I didn't like the last one with Mark Wahlberg but this one is nothing like it. This movie features James Franco (swoon,pictured above) and the beautiful Frieda Pinto who both play their parts incredibly well. This is definitely a Summer must-see movie!!

Sadly I was working Saturday and Sunday so I have nothing to exciting to report about my weekend!!

What did you girls get up to??

Weekly Round Up #5

Here are some my highlights from last week........

Monday I met my boyfriend in town. We went shopping and I picked up some lovely goodies.
 I brought all my empties Back to MAC and picked up another lippie to add to my ever growing collection. A lustre lipstick, it's in the shade Patisserie.

   I don't hear it mentioned enough  which is strange as it's a gorgeous neutral pink shade. I'm loving it so far.

While at MAC, I purchased the Mineralize Charged Water Skin Hydrating Mist from the Semi Precious. I've never tried the Fix+ spray so I snapped up this to try it out. While in town I also picked up the OPI Texas Lil Shooters Collection (not pictured above) which you can see here. After shopping for what felt like a age, we finshed off our trip by heading to Yo Sushi! were we had a lovely dinner.. Yummy!!

Tuesday As I wasnt working I spent the day studying  for my theory test and checking out college courses. I'm hoping to do Event Management in September but I haven't found a course yet that suits my schedule. I work weekday mornings so I have to do a Part-time course at night. Even though I'd probably much prefer to do a Full-time one. Who knew it was so hard to find a Part-time Event Management course...I most certainly didn't. I'm really looking forward to my theory test cause afterwards I'll be able to drive officially. I was given driving lessons for my 21st birthday way back in February which I haven't used yet. I'm really looking forward to taking them though even if I am quite nervous.

Friday I went to Hollister as it finally opened. It was so busy all day so I went down in the evening and it was like empty so I had a look around and I picked up some bits which you can check out here!. I really liked the shop and I love the layout and interior. While I was in Dundrum I also went to McCabes and picked up some goodies that were so inexpensive. I couldn't possibly leave without them.

 Saturday Enroute to picking up my nephew I popped into Boots in Liffey Valley. A while ago I was told that Stila was opening a stand instore. Of course I went in to look at the stand and left with more products which I hadn't planned on doing.You can check out what I purchase here. If you haven't been to Boots in Liffey Valley it's huge and has to be the biggest one I've ever seen.

 Sunday I was working 12 to 6. As I work in town I  go shopping alot which results in me spending money on little things which certainly adds up without me knowing, I arrived in a bit early so I went into Brown Thomas.  I spotted a new stand at MAC for their Sized To Go Collection. I wasn't expecting to see this instore as I heard it was just going into airports as they are travel sizes. I really like this collection as I think it's a good way to try out products and it's also handbag size.

I got the Fix+ spray (€9) and the Cleanse-Off Oil (€9) I can't wait to try these products out. I've heard such good things about the Cleanse-Off Oil so I have high expectations.

After work my boyfriend picked me up and we went to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.
 I was so looking forward to seeing this movie and I wasn't left disappointed one bit. I really enjoyed it and most importantly it stayed true to the book. I don't want to say too much about the movie cause some of you may not have seen it yet. I was so sad to see it come to an end!! At least we have Twilight to look forward to.

I picked up this month's Marie Claire Magazine for the bus journey home. A Ciate lipgloss comes free with this issue and I love it so far. Inside the mag you also get a £10 voucher for the Ciate. That's not all on the lipgloss packaging there is also a promotional code for 15% off your total order when you shop online.If their lipgloss is anything to go by I will be picking up some more products!!

What did you girls get up to during your week??
