 Gilet: Thrift Shop

Shirt: Primark

Jeans: Quiz

Shoes: New Look

Bag: Primark

Lipstick; Rita Ora for Rimmel in Rumour has it

Foundation: W7 Captain Matte in Rich Tan

Eyebrows: Benefit Gimme Brow in Medium

Mascara: YSL False Lash Effect

I've also recently Baleaged/Ombred my hair, so its a bit lighter for summer. I get bored of my hair very easily and being honest i miss the blonde so much, I would dye it back but its just the maintenance of keeping it.

Sleek Face Form Contouring Kit

 Eske Pharmacy in town have recently stocked the entire Sleek range,and I was beyond excited, I bought quite a few items but this particular product I really loved an thought I'd review it.

I had heard a lot about this product from other beauty bloggers but every time I went in it was sold out, I realise why now.

The Contour is very subtle, its almost just a light glow which is beautiful on. Its also very pigmented.

 I use mine on a daily basis, for around a month and I haven't hit anywhere near pan yet. For a night out I use another bronzer along with it,

The highlighter is so pretty its like an iridescent sparkly off white ( obsessed with highlighters btw ), this is also very pigmented and leaves your cheekbones with a beautiful matte sheen to them.

The Blush is pretty on Irish skin or anyone with pale skin as its quite a pinky coral colour. It again is very pigmented and as you can see from the picture above it has a shimmer to it also.

One thing I love in a palette like this is a mirror, and I love the mirror on this palette. Its great for travelling and on the move to do the rest of your make up with. The palette is also lightweight and sleek. (Ignore the Pun). Perfect for Summer.

This will definitely be a palette I will be repurchasing again and again for the foreseeable future, I honestly can't fault it, and its only €12.99, such a good price for what you get.You essential have 3 products in 1, I hope you go out and purchase it and you love it as much as I do. :)

If you don't have access to it in a Pharmacy, Sleek have a website that you can buy from here.

Let me know some other Sleek Products you love and think I should try.

Style Crush Sunday | Danielle Bernstein

If you want to learn anything about me, know that Danielle Bernstein is my Spirit Animal, I go by a daily motto 'WWDD?' -What Would Danielle Do?

I especially use this while shopping and try to buy stuff that she would wear or close to what she has worn in her blog posts.
Before I started blogging she was the first blogger I looked up to and thought that would be so much fun to do.

Her style is something I try to adapt to my personal style although I don't have the weather here in Ireland.

If you don't know who Danielle is, She is the Founder and Blogger behind WeWoreWhat and a student of F.I.T. She has also appeared on Project Runway - All Stars as a guest judge and just announced a Collab with Topshop that I'm super excited about.

I don't think she has ever worn an outfit that I haven't liked, her style is amazingly simple but like she just stepped off a runway at the same time. She takes pieces of clothing that are hard to wear and makes them look effortless.

 She has defiantly given me confidence to wear the clothes that I want to wear when I want to wear them, and that you certainly don't need an event to express yourself -  Style Wise anyway.

I use her (among others) as a daily inspiration and where she is in life is something I want to achieve, and the fact that shes friends with Eleanor Calder makes her Perfect in my eyes, as they have very similar styles.

What are your Thoughts of Ms. Bernstein ? Who are your favourite Fashion Bloggers?

OOTD | Blanc & Noir

Coat : Savida

Shirt : Penny's

Shoes : Penny's

Jeans : Quiz 

Yay for more Ootd's this year!!

 I am a major lover of Monochrome. My whole wardrobe is basically black and white,(well mostly black) its just so pretty and works with everything.

 I think this is one of my favourite outfits. 

I am in love with this shirt its one piece that looks like two (isn't that amazing) so you basically look like you put a lot of effort in and you really haven't. (lol)

Also these shoes are so comfy, I brought them on Holidays and wore them nearly everyday. Obsessed with pointed toe shoes.

Be sure to follow me on Instagram :Sarahloukane for daily updates of Ootd's and other things :)

Bog Standard

I was at a fashion show last year in which they gave away gift bags to everyone that attended, in the gift bags was a sample of some Bog Standard Products, at the time I had never heard of the company.

After trying the samples for a while and I fell in love, the sample I got was 'Irish Field' as it was called at the time, its now called 'Field', it smells like a field after its rained and I love everything about it.

I have since repurchased the candle maybe 3-4 times, while buying the candle again I came across Soap and an Air Freshener, which I put in my wardrobe to make my clothes smell nice.

Isn't the new packaging just beautiful I almost didn't want to open it.

 Im all for supporting Irish businesses as well so this is perfect, its also a really cost effective brand and honestly I don't know what I did before I found it.

I'd recommend this scent for spring.

Have you ever heard of or tried this brand before? Let me know what your favourite is.

Visit their online store : www.bogstandard.ie/ and do tell me what you buy!

Red Carpet Fever - Golden Globes 2015

If you know me well, you know I live for Awards Season and My favourite event is the Golden Globes.
Its the first major event of the Season and It sets the par. Fashion-wise anyway.

I was really impressed with the style this year, so I would like to share some of my favourite looks with you.

I really liked the neutral palette of these 3 dresses.

Chrissy Teigen looks phenomenal in this colour, It really complements her skin-tone and Zuhair Murad really knows how to dress a woman, the silhouette is beautiful. 

Where do I start with Kate Beckinsale, I have an unhealthy obsession with her, I love the fluidity of this dress, Its not too out there but not too subdued either.

Louise Roe looks amazing all the time but this Grecian look looks so good on her, the dress creates a nice shape on her and I love her hair like this.  

These 3 dresses were one's I'm not sure on but I really like at the same time.

Dakota Johnson, I really like the fit, colour and shape but not keen on the sequins and sparkle, I also really like her hair.

.

Taylor Schilling, The colour suits her, I just think she could have worn something form fitting and it would have been a show stopper.

Reese Witherspoon looks like a Oscar, love the dress but I think it would have looked better on someone else, it sort of washes her out, She needs a brighter colour.

My Favourite Look of the Night is Jenna Dewan Tatum. Her Hair, Her Dress, Her Arm Candy.

I don't known where to begin. 

The dress is so flattering on her and the red clutch bag is such a brilliant addition of colour, Her make- up is so natural, It makes the whole outfit look so effortless. 

Let me know what was your favourite and what you hated!

Happy Little Christmas

Its my First day in my new house and what better day than Little Christmas. For anyone who doesn't know what Little Christmas or Women's Christmas, as it's sometimes known as, Its a Irish holiday where the women take the day off, don't do anything around the house and go out to Lunch and go Shopping or to a Spa or something along those lines.

 It takes place on the 6th of January every year and I was fortunate enough to have the day off anyway, so I took full advantage.

(I'm obsessed with this Coat from SheInside, I wear it nearly everyday)

Coat: SheInside

Top: Zara

Necklace: Penny's

Jeans: Topshop

Shoes: New Look

I started off the day going shopping unable to buy anything cause I have to save my money for this house. (Being an Adult sucks), But I did go to the Hairdressers for a well needed change in Hairstyle, My hair was getting to heavy and long and I really didn't like it anymore.
