ITWBN

Hi everyone,

Sorry about the lack of posts lately - I have had no wifi at home (thanks Vodafone....) and it is difficult to blog on my phone as it keeps hopping to photos! Anyway - finally!! Here is my Blog post about the recent Into The West Bloggers Network meetup, held in the Radisson Blu a few weeks ago. Firstly, I would like to thank Sinead & Saibh for organising such a fab day - it was easy to see the amount of hard work put into the day and I am already waiting patiently (ish!) for May.

On the day we had various different speakers - Kate from Cocoa Brown Tan, Siobhan from letz Make Up, Richie from Beutifi.ie, Marika from OMiG and last but not least....... The Galway Player!! We also had lots of time to mingle, eat & drink, and look around the various pop up shops. (ATIR Shapewear, Debenhams, Youngblood Cosmetics, Peter Mark to name but a few).

On the morning of the event, I met Sandra (https://ablushingcailin.wordpress.com/author/ablushingcailin/) and Kerri (http://bellaandvogue.blogspot.ie/) in Tuam and I traveled up with them. It was lovely to get to know some new people and compare blogging notes. 

Can we just take a minute to appreciate the goodie bags that we were given! I couldn't believe it and I almost cried at the generosity, I am looking forward to reviewing all the products we were very kindly given to try out. Thanks to Cocoa Brown, McSharry's Pharmacy and all of the other contributors and sponsors. 

I will be back to more regular blogging once I have proper wifi again, 

chat soon

Superdrug, Boots & Poundland Haul + Competition Details

Hey guys

Hope you all had a nice weekend! I was up north and of course did a little bit of shopping.... Here's an overview of what I bought.

Firstly, I went to Poundland, just for the bronzer below. Loads of bloggers (in particular From matte to Metallic, where I first spotted it) have been raving about this, saying that it's an exact dupe for MAC's "Give Me Sun", and for only £1 pound, I said I'd have to give it a go! Looking forward to trying it out properly, it looks lovely when swatched though, I love really warm toned bronzers.

Next I popped into Super Drug of course. I was dying to get my hands on some Make-Up Revolution goodies. This "Vivid Baked Bronzer" in the shade "Rock On World"  really caught my eye. I haven't had a chance to use it properly yet but I just gave it a quick go yesterday and it's VERY pigmented, be careful! It cost £3.

I also picked up a hilighter from the same range - it's called "Pink Lights" but it looks more like Lilac to me. Anyway - we will soon see what it's like. Also £3.

I also picked up this faaaab eyeshadow palette from Barry M, I actually only got it for red colour third from the left, but I really like them all. They seem to be highly pigmented and very buttery. This only cost £6.59, so probably under £10.

I then went to Boots and picked up the new Estee Lauder "Little Black Primer" lash primer. I haven't tried it yet but it claims to lengthen and curl lashes, and it can be used by itself as a tint, under mascara to prolong wear, and over mascara to seal it, make it waterproof and reduce flaking. It will be interesting to see how this one fares out.

I am giving away all the goodies in the below picture - pop over to my Facebook (www.facebook.com/chloereidymakeup) and my Instagram (chloereidymakeup) for 2 chances to win!

Thanks for reading,

Chloe
