Weekly Round Up

This week has been a week of sore muscles and having catch ups with friends.

A few weeks ago I said I was back at the gym which didn't last too long as I got a bad cold and a really bad cough and I had to put the gym on the back burner for a couple of weeks. This week my two friends finally joined the gym after talking about it for months and they are great gym buddies. They are up for going to loads of classes and trying everything out, so I've been every day this week except Tuesday and Thursday. I can safely say I'm never taking a month off the gym again, my muscles have been in agony all this week but as they always say 'no pain, no gain'. So I'm keeping up with my fitness and diet is going well (finally).

I'm going on a girly weekend to Dublin in a couple of weeks and the countdown has started now. We are taking the train down and bought our tickets on line which has saved us so much money. We are hoping to take the Viking Tour when we are down there, and just being the complete tourists as any time I go down to Dublin its always to visit family so I normally steer clear of the city centre. Any recommendations of where to go and places to see would be welcome! We chose a great weekend to go as the All Ireland Hurling final rematch is on that weekend so there will be a great buzz about Dublin so we will be finding a nice wee Irish bar to watch the match and nurse our hangovers in on the Sunday. Anyone who knows me knows I don't pack light for weekends away and usually pack enough for five nights out instead of the two so it will be interesting trying to fit it all into the one bag.

I got another new lipstick this week; I need lipstick rehab! I have been looking for a more neutral colour for a long time now as all my lipsticks are all very strong colours so coming into the winter months I wanted to try out a few new colours.

I was drawn back to the Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms as I have fallen in love with them, I came across a lovely rose pink shade called Elusive. It's such a lovely nuetral colour, perfect for those girls who shy away from nude lips and  will be lovely teamed with a dark smokey eye.

In my Latest In Beauty Glamour Edit I got a lovely Illamasqua Glmaore Lipstick. There are seven shades in the collection and I received it in the colour Rosepout. It's a very neutral shade with a slight pink hue and is a nice addition to my collection. It couldn't have came at a better time with me looking to try out more neutral colours.

Also in the Latest In Beauty Glamour Edit I got a lovely Bourjois cream blush. I got it in the shade Rose Tender and it's a beautiful light pink colour. The only bad thing about it is that it has a slight glitter in it and I'm not a fan of glittery/shimmer blushes. It goes on really smoothly, blends so easily and you can build the colour up by applying a few layers of it. It comes in a small compact that will take up little to no room in your makeup bag and had a handy little mirror on the lid.
