New Ps Love Brush Range

Hey everyone, welcome back.

It's been a while, but I had nothing exciting to blog about and I didn't want to force a post. 

Today I'm going to let you know about the new Ps Love makeup brushes I got in Penneys the other day.


I was away and typical forgot my brushes, so I went into my nearest Penneys and saw these. They all range from €1.50-€2.50, so I said for that price they will do for the few days!!

Little did I know I'd fall in love! I bought the Kabuki brush, powder/blush brush, contour brush, foundation/concealer brush and the smokey eyeshadow brush. So far I've used them all except the Kabuki, and I must say they are amazing. The hairs on the brushes are really soft and easy to blend products onto the skin. 

The contour brush is the perfect shape to really sculpt out your cheekbones, and with the soft hairs it makes the product so easy to apply. 

The smoky eyeshadow brush is by far my favourite. It is the perfect shape to work the shadows into the crease and it also has a small angled brush to smudge the shadow under the lash line. 

Overall I'd highly recommend these brushes. And for this price, you can't go wrong! I will admit I went back for a second eyeshadow brush!! 

Anyway I hope you enjoyed this post, I'll be back soon. 

Till then xox

Johnstown House Hotel & Spa

Hi everyone! I'm back with a little review on Johnstown House Hotel & Spa in Enfield Co.Meath. I went here last week with my mam and sisters for a spa day and night away for my mams birthday! 

I must say its a fabulous hotel. Very luxurious! Staff were very friendly and helpful.

We arrived early so we had some tea and scones in the lobby before check in, which was lovely. Proper homemade scones is just what I love!! We then headed to the Spa and checked in. The Spa is absolutely amazing!! So relaxing fr the minute you walk in. We all got changed and headed into a room that had the sauna, steam room and it had this room we loved(can't remember the name!!!), but it was a lovely warm room. Just cosy not sweaty. We used this as our meet up room as it was so relaxing. 

We all headed for our treatments, I had a full body deep tissue massage. I had never had one before, so I was really looking forward to it. I must say I think I'd run for another! I suffer terrible with my back from work and I'm always in need of a good rub out! If you haven't tried this Id highly recommend. 

After our treatments we met in a relaxation room and went and got changed and checked into the hotel. We headed to the rooms to freshen up and then straight for dinner. 

The restaurant was fab! Food was really good and worth every penny!! 

The rooms were a little old fashioned, but for what we wanted, they done the job!!

On the Monday we headed for a quick breakfast and me and mam had more treatments! My sister opted for relaxation rooms instead for some extra zzzz!!!! I got a facial that was on offer for €50, and it was incredible. They use Elemis products, which are lovely anyway. I felt so relaxed and refreshed! I had a really nice lady looking after me and I must say she was excellent. 

Again before we left I spent more time in the various relaxation areas, to get the most out of our visit!! 

I will run back to the Spa here, all the girls were so helpful and excellent. All hotel staff were also brilliant and the hotel was 
lovely. I highly recommend you try it! 

Here's a few snaps of the hotel and Spa.










I really hope you enjoyed this post.

Till next time:) xox

Top 3 Eyeshadow Palettes

Hey guys welcome back! 

Hope you all are keeping well and enjoying my posts! I'm really enjoying writing them and thinking of new ideas😊

Today I'm doing My Top 3 Eyeshadow Palettes! For me this was an easy one as I grab for the same ones all the time! 


Up first is:
The Balm Nude'Tude 
This is a great palette for a neutral/smokey look. There are a good variety of colour. The pigment payoff is amazing. I'd be lost without this! 



Up next:
MUA Heaven & Earth Palette 
This little palette is my best friend! If I'm going anywhere this is the one I will bring as it fits into my make-up bag perfectly. This has the most gorgeous neutral shades, some matte and some shimmer. I really would recommend this as its only €5/€6, you really can't go wrong!!



And the last palette is:
Urban Decay Naked 3
I love the pink/gold shades in this palette. This is so perfect for a soft pink look, but with a few deeper shades to smoke it out. The quality is excellent and so worth every penny!



I hope you liked this little post! I'll be back soon with another post! 

Till then xox

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
