January Favourites😍

Hi everyone, welcome back,

I've decided to do a January favourites post today. I havnt done a monthly favourites since November, so I thought it would be nice to do one😊

Sleek "Au Natural" Palette
This is a great everyday palette for soft neutral looks. Very good quality and very cheap👍



Urban Decay "Naked 3"
I felt myself grabbing for this palette this month, it's gorgeous. I really love pink so this palette is right up my street. The quality is really good and colour payoff is amazing.



L'Oreal True Match Foundation
This foundation has been a favourite of mine for the past few months. It gives great coverage nd it's great for my oily skin.



Ps Love This Makeup Brush Cleaner
I did a post on this already but seriously great for spot cleaning, and for €2.



Real Techniques Buffing Brush
LOVE LOVE LOVE this brush. It just buffs the foundation perfectly into my skin.



Rimmel Stay Matte
Great powder for setting foundation, wouldn't step out without using it:)



SevenTeen Contour Palette
Found this the end of December. Heard great reviews on it and I love it. The bronzer shade is perfect for my skin tone. I usually find it really hard to get the right shade bronzer because I'm so pale and they tend to look orange on me, but this one is perfect.



Urban Decay Primer Potion
This is a great primer, eyeshadow never budges. Can't complain!!



Decleor Hydra Floral Moisturizer
This is quiet a heavy Moisturizer that I use  after a facial to treat my skin. It's really good, my skin does be so smooth when I use it.



Simple Eye Makeup Remover
Removes all my eye Makeup without being harsh on my skin.



Bursts Bees
Aaammmaaazzziiinnnggg!!!!! Probably the best lip balm I've used in a long time. Makes my lips super soft and smells and tastes really good!!:)


That's all my monthly favs:) 

Hope you enjoy!

Till next time :) x

Makeup Geek Eyeshadow Review!

Hey everyone, welcome back😊

Hope your all keeping well. I'm back today with a review on Makeup Geek eyeshadows that I got during the week! 

I've heard so much great reviews on these shadows from YouTube, Instagram, Twitter and beauty blogs! So I thought I'd invest in a few and see for myself. These shadows are so reasonably priced at $5.99, which when converted is roughly €5.40, and then shipping costs. 

I bought 3 eyeshadow pans in "Creme Brûlée", "Peach Smoothie" and "Simply Marlena", and the really popular pigment "Insomnia". I was super excited to get these and try them out. 


Creme Brûlée 
Peach Smoothie
Simply Marlena
Insomnia 



First Impression.
Packaging is really pretty, which was the first thing I noticed! The colours are much nicer in person and are really pigmented. I found it best to use small amounts on
the brush and gradually build it up to what you desire. There really blend able too which I love💜. 
Overall there just great eyeshadows. I will definitely be getting more in the next few weeks😋

Hope you enjoyed this little post😄 ps. I havnt tried the pigment yet, but I will be in next day or say so keep an eye on my Instagram (DustyRosex) for a pic!! 

Till next time 💖 x

First Impression Ps Love This Make-Up Brush Cleanser

Hey everyone, back today with a first impressions post.

I haven't done a first impressions post before, but after my first use of this product I really felt the need to.


This Ps Love This Make-up Brush Cleanser in only €2.50 from Penneys (which is nothing!) This product is amazing. I used it to spot clean my most used brushes last night and it wasn't until I cleaned my stippling brush that I realised how good it is. 


This brush was covered in foundation, even when I deep clean it, it's stained. But now it looks like new. This picture doesn't give it justice, the bristles are spotless. The cleanser really lifts all the dirt out and makes the brushes like new! I spray a few sprays onto brush and clean tissue and swirled it till it was clean. The smell was slightly fragranced but not overpowering.

I really have to recommend this product, for that price you can't go wrong. I know I'll be going back to Penneys to get a few bottles:) 

Hope you like this post.

Till next time:) x

Goodbye 2014, Hello 2015!

Hey everyone, welcome back.

Hope you all had a lovely new year, and are set for hopefully a great 2015!! 2014 wasn't a stand out year for me, the only real enjoyable things I done was started this blog (which Im delighted I did), and I went on my first little holiday with my boyfriend!!

So I really want to make 2015 a special one! With that said I want to do a New Years resolutions post today. I make resolutions most years but struggle to keep them, but this year Im going to try my best.



1. Lose weight, eat healthier, and become fitter.
This is a huge one for me. In the past year or 2 Ive gained alot of weight and although Im not overweight or necessarily  fat, I want to get control of this now and get fit, healthy and tone up!!

2. Try do at least 30 minutes of exercise 3-4 times a week.
I never get out and go for a walk/swim/run and I think my body could really benefit from it. I work indoors all day and travel to work so really I need to get out in the fresh air. And it wont do my fitness any harm!!

3. Blog more - 2/3 blogs a week if possible
Now that the Christmas rush is over in work Im hoping to blog alot more than I have been. Id like to get into a routine of posting a few times a week.

4. Save money.
This is something I have never done, and really its terrible! Im a divil for spending money on unnecessary things. But Im going to have to stop and try put something aside.

5. Keep room tidy.
Im actually not bad at this but I want to continue with it. Something I really love is getting into bed and looking around my room and seeing it clean, Im slightly OCD about cleaning!!

6. Try do makeup course/ practise a different look a night.
I really enjoy makeup and being honest if I could afford it Id rather do that than hairdressing, but with the recession its just not a good idea to leave a job to persue another, not at the moment anyway. But I really want to try do a few day makeup courses, and practise at home!

7. Invest in decent makeup.
I love makeup as I've said, and I really want to start investing, as its the career I really want. So Im going to try and invest in a few decent, high end products every now and then.

8. Get myself into routines - eg skincare, exercise, work, blogging.
I have to admit I've no routine for anything!! My work days change all the time, i dont necessarily have a set day off (which is really annoying!!). My skincare rountine does be all over the place because im lazy! Ha! And as Ive said I need a routine for blogging and exercise to keep me motivated!

9. Wear retainer more often.
I had braces when I was in school and since getting them off I've a retainer, which in recent months I've  forgotten about. So I now have to try get back in the habit of wearing them and keep my teeth straight:)

9. Start a new sport
I played loads of sports when I was younger, and up until a few months ago I was playing soccer. But that is just not my sport so I'm hoping to go back to comogie when the season starts again. It's a great irish sport which i really enjoy as its a physical team sport!

10. Be positive, happy, and push myself for what I really want.
I typically am a very negative person, I'll always find the bad in things. So I want to try and be more positive, not work myself up over silly things and just enjoy  life cause its short! I know thats a real cliche but its true.


I really hope I can stick to these resolutions! I'll keep you's posted though! I hope you enjoyed this post.

Till next time:) x
