WARNING: This blog post includes zero fancy photos, BUT, AH-MAZING products! 

This post is a while in the making, yesterday a very special foundation came back into my life and I couldn’t be happier. I am of course talking about Chanel Vitalumiére Aqua! This is without exception my favourite Chanel base. You guys know I love the Les Beige base also but it’s heavier and I will use it when Winter (officially) starts. The Vitalumiére Aqua is the perfect base for Summer. I haven’t had either foundation for the last sevenish weeks and that’s another story but applying it today made me realise that there are products in my makeup bag that I’m just not prepared to do without. 

 So you know I’m a fiend for make-up bags and my exploits are well documented on Instagram. They are collectibles and I wouldn’t dream of ever using them…these Penneys bags CAN NOT be beaten for quality/value. 
 These seven items will forever be in my day to day bag. First up the Chanel Vitalumiére Aqua, this foundation is amazing and honestly I don’t know a single person who has tried it and not loved it. 

 Then we have the Chanel cream blush stick, as I said before Easy Peasy Cheekbones! When I want a flush to my cheeks I will always reach for Bene-tint! It’s easy to use and fuss free.

 My go-to eye products are also veterans in the bag and in some cases my fourth re-purchase. I’m looking at Maybelline concealer. Come on… We all use it and I wish Maybelline would rename it! The Essence ‘Make me brow’ is fantastic, it is hard to find at times in Penneys but I love the small brush and the colour is perfect and buildable. The last product is the Charlotte Tilbury’s Champagne Diamonds, it’s foolproof and so pretty on the eyes. It is also a product that doesn’t need retouching. It wears nicely and makes the eye bright. These guys are must-haves for me. What are some of your make-up must-haves?

Ah where do I start, the week is a blur of late mornings, late nights and a lot of laziness in general, an entire day of ironing (while I binged on Pretty Little Liars ~ the ironing basket has never been as empty) The month of June went so fast, I want to slow the Summer right down. This month is a busy one with events and our trip to London. Have you any plans for July? 

 Still loving my Cinema Lightbox. 

 The weekly Snapchat story covered everything from Kilmore Quay to stewing Rhubarb. (My user is daisy13179)

 A rediscovery this week, I’m a big fan of Sally Hanson, still dying to try Vita Liberata Body Blur! 

 I brought out my Chanel Wallet on Chain,  last weekend. Such a great little evening bag. 

 Pretty flowers. 

 Have a fantastic weekend!

I spent most of yesterday (Friday) thinking it was Sunday, it was the first time this Summer I lost track of the days. I’m sure it won’t be the last. We had a few days away in the Costa Rosslare and the weather behaved most of the time. We got really lucky, watching rain as we ate or swam. I’m another match closer to having some bunting up (YAY) and the Ireland jerseys are washed and ready for Sunday…#COYBIG.

 This week we had a huge family BBQ to watch the match last Saturday! 

 We celebrated Father’s Day with a lovely meal in The Donkey Shed. 

 The food is fantastic and although I didn’t (couldn’t fit) have dessert, Keith’s Cheesecake was beautifully presented. 

 This make-up is my favourite at the moment, I almost used it! HA! 

These Penneys sunglasses are such a steal. I blogged here, about budget glasses. I love budget buys for trend driven styles. 

 I’m still playing with Snapchat and while I’m sure I’m boring as hell to most people, it’s fun to document each day. (Daisy13179). Have a fantastic weekend and enjoy the Ireland game on Sunday. Let’s hope we beat them! 

❤️ Siobhan.
