Illusion bodice detail.

This a very daring and sexy look, the floral detail covers up the right places. What I like about these designs is that they are not too full on. The nude design is very tastefully placed.

3D Floral Appliques:

This detail is very romantic and can bring a wedding dress to life. Whether the floral embellishment is a small feature on the dress or throughout.This trend is sure to be a show stopping look.

Feathers:

This is just oh so glamorous and it shouts "HOLLYWOOD" to me. Add a twist of elegance to your look with this trend This look like the floral appliques can be just a touch of feather detail or full on.

Keyhole Neckline:

If you like the look of a high neck dress, but would like something a bit different, then the keyhole trend is for you, it adds some daring to the dress without being too risky.

Over Skirts:

This subtle add-on brings a fairytale feel to the dress. The overskirt is sheer,soft and floaty and it also adds another element to the a-line dress.

The suit/two piece

Not every bride wants to wear a dress, so the suit/two piece is one to try. This look would also work for the day after the wedding. I can see this look being very popular among brides that want to step away from the traditional.

Thigh-High Slits:

This look is very Angelia Jolie (remember that dress). The dress can feature one or two side slits.I can see these look at a wedding abroad or a City wedding, it is Simply elegant.

Tiered Skirts:

Tiered skirts will add texture and movement to a dress. It definitely has a princess look to it and can be very dramatic depending on the style.

Alvina Valenta

Marchesa

Monique Lhuillier

Sheer Skirts:

The sheer bottom reveals a little (offers a peekaboo effect). This is another glam look for sure.

Flormar Revolution Lipstick In Burgundy Mission

These are the three berry colours available I was delighted to receive a sample of the Revolution lipstick in burgundy mission, along with the lip liner to match. These were Kindly sent from RDC Communications . Flormar was launched this year in Ireland and it has proven to be a huge success and a popular choice for those who want affordability and quality. I tested this lipstick out over Christmas, as I am trying to be more adventurous and try out stronger colours, as I normally tend to stick with nude tones. This lipstick is a rich berry colour with blue undertones, having these undertones makes your teeth appear whiter. "Revolution is Flormar premium lipstick containing shea butter, cocoa, olives, a super pigment and easy 8 hr staying power" . Swatch of lipstick and liner Application Tips: Before application ensure your lips are in good condition especially in this harsh weather. Exfoliate to remove any dry skin and apply vase

I adore it and Ardgillan was recently featured on Lovin Dublin as the best park in Dublin to visit, now that's pretty cool. So onto the beautiful Castle, I met with Ann-Marie and Danielle and we chatt

Finally Contouring is getting the push

Anyone else as happy as me to see that contouring is not as popular in the makeup world. I personally could never get used to it. I think it looks amazing in photographers or on a night out when done right. If you prefer a more heavy look. I believe strobing has been around before it was just called highlighting then. So do not be confused!!! For me I prefer a more natural look when it comes to makeup. The whole idea with strobing is that you can see the skin and it is not heavily covered up. I have been using the Mac Strobe Cream for a few months now. You can also strobe with powder. Mary-Loumanizer by the Balm Mac Soft and Gentle What I like about Mac Strobe? It makes the skin look radiant,fresh and healthy (for tired Mammies like me it's a must) It's easily applied. It's a no fuss product, there is no messing with it. It can be worn alone or added after foundation is applied. With some blush you are good to go. Lo
