Villa Spa Killashee Review

Hey everyone welcome back!

Back today with a review of the Villa Spa at Killashee House Hotel in Naas, Co. Kildare. I've been to this spa before but never done a review and today I felt I should!

Killashee is a beautiful hotel on the outskirts of Naas, and if you haven't been, you need to go. Its fab and really elegant. I have been to afternoon tea there, and its so worth it!! 

Anyway back to the point!! The Villa Spa is absolutely amazing. With an almost Moroccan theme throughout I found it relaxing from the minute I stepped in the door. I love going to a spa and getting all cosy in slippers and a nightgown and just relax! 

Today I was there for a "Winter Warmer" package. This includes:
  • Dry body brush
  • Hot oil back massage
  • Taster facial
  • Pressure point scalp massage
  • Exotic hand ritual
  • Soothing lower leg & foot massage
  • Dry floatation therapy
All for just €99!!!(lets take a minute to take that in!!) 

When I went in at first I got to get into my robe and slippers and sit in the relaxation room for roughly half an hour as I arrived early!!(picture of relaxation room below). From there I got dry floatation. this was heaven! Its like a warm water bed that you just float away on for half an hour, and lets be honest....Sleep!! This relaxing treatment is meant to equal 3 hours of deep sleep for the body!

After that I was brought into a gorgeous room with roses pictures on the wall and roof(picture below)! Seriously amazing room. In here I got all my other treatments. Firstly I got the dry body brush on my back, the back of my legs and arms. This isn't the most comfortable experience but I love the feeling of my skin afterwards. I then got my back massage, which I must say was probably my favourite. I suffer from my back and I just love when someone gives it a good going over. And the lovely girl that was looking after me(Sinead), she did just that.  She did say my back wasn't in the best condition, but I know myself that I should be getting a rub on it more often!

I then got my foot and leg massage, and my hand ritual. this was really soothing. I was basically asleep by then!! 

The facial was next. They use all Elemis products, which felt lovely on my skin. the facial was really relaxing. Here's a list of the products used:
  • Balancing lime blossom cleanser

  • Balancing lavender toner 



  • Papaya enzyme peel



  • Herbal lavender repair mask




  1. Hydra-balance day cream

She recommended I buy the cleanser and toner, I already have the mask. I didn't purchase them today but my birthday is coming up so I think ill treat myself then!! While the mask was on I got my scalp massage which was so nice. I felt like I had no worry in the world after it ha!

I have to say I struggled to get off the bed after this! I could have lay there all day! Thankfully I got to go back to the relaxation room with a little glass of fruit to relax some more!

I 100% recommend Villa Spa! You need to try it. And a spa day is always needed in the busy lives we live. you need down time and you time and this is where to get it. The staff are so nice and helpful, I have to compliment them, they made my trip to the spa so relaxing.

I hope you enjoyed this little post.

Till next time xox

Makeup Geek Insomnia Eye Look😍

Hey everyone welcome back to my blog! 

Been seriously enjoying blogging the past month. I hope you've been enjoying my last few posts! 

I'm back today with a makeup look. A few months ago I posted about Makeup Geek products I had bought, so today I said I'd do a look using the really popular Insomnia pigment. 

Insomnia is probably the most gorgeous pigment ever. It reflects a green, brown,  and almost a red colour in different light. It's also a dupe for Mac Blue Brown pigment and for well under the price at only $6.99. 

Here are a couple of pictures of the pigment:



As you can see here you can get 2 different effects by just applying straight, or applying wet, depending on what your looking for.

Lately I've been using this pigment as is. I apply using a small flat shader brush packing it onto the lid.


Then I get a clean blending brush a blend like a divil in the crease to blend the line. The great thing about this shadow is when you blend it it goes to a reddy brown colour, and I leave the lid the green shimmery colour. 



This look is gorgeous as is, you could wet your brush and go back in with the pigment to add a little vibrancy! 

I would sometimes leave as is or put eyeliner on. And then of course mascara!!!! 

Hope you like this little post! If you'd like more of these sort of post let me know:) 

Till next time:)xox

Five Products I Cannot Live Without

Hey everyone! Welcome back😊 

Hope your keeping well! I'm getting into more of a routine with my post.... Thankfully🙏🏼 ha! 

I'm back today with "Five products I cannot live without". These are products I  use everyday. 

1. Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation
This has become my absolute favourite foundation ever!! This gives me 100% coverage, and as I suffer from bad skin I need all the coverage I can get!! Also it doesn't leave my skin shiny it keeps me matte all day. I use the shade "Creme Ivory".
€48 in Brown Thomas.



2. Catrice Camoflauge Concealer 
This is one of the best concealers for covering spots and scaring. I use this everyday and it doesn't budge. I got it in Penneys for roughly €4 I think. It's so inexpensive and so worth it!



3. Burts Bees 
This is a fab lip balm I bought recently. It's really moisturising and tastes yummy!!  I got mine for €4 in Sam McCauleys.



4. Mac Woodwinked Eyeshadow
This is just the nicest eyeshadow ever. For a day were I just want to add a little colour to my eyes I use this and blend it into my crease. This shadow is a slightly golden, bronze, copper colour and when it's blended into my crease it changes colour. It's a really unusual shadow and definitely one to have.
€16.50 Brown Thomas


5. Maybelline Colossol Volume Mascara 
This is the only mascara I constantly repurchase. It's the only one that give me volume and extra length as well as not giving me a black eye effect at the end of the day!!! With most other mascaras they always seem to spread down below my eyes and I look like I got punched in the eye ha!!! 
€10 Sam McCauleys/Boots



Hope you enjoyed this post.
