Hi girls!
So after having such an amazing fun filled time at a wedding in Edinburgh last weekend, I decided I'd post my makeup, outfit and accessory details seeing as I've been a bit neglectful of my blog as of late (darn internet!).
For the plane journey on Saturday, we had a 2 hour drive from Waterford to Dublin, an hours plane journey and a taxi into the heart of Edinburgh so I dressed pretty casual.. my favourite style!
Outfit: Red jeans, comfy sneakers and a black peplum top of sorts - all from Penneys/Primark. I must warn you before you continue that I'm like a walking advertisement for Penneys. I shop there ALL the time, just love their stuff :)
Jewellery: Also all from Penneys - gold necklace, rings and charm bracelet.
Make-up Details:
Face - Vichy Dermablend. I contoured with the foundation using Nude to highlight and Bronze to contour. Using (of course), my Real Techniques brushes and the beauty blender sponge. To emphasize the contour, I use Seventeen Define and Conquer contour kit (€8 in Boots). For blush, my usual favourite Dealz brand and powder is No.7.
Eyebrows - Anastasia Beverley Hills in Dark Brown using an ABH #12 brush.
Eyes - Urban Decay Naked 3 palette using Real Techniques eyeshadow brushes and other brushes I have from my beauty college kit. Also used NYX eyeliner and Penney's individual lashes (love!)
Lips - NYX Lip Pencil in Coffee.
As for my hair, as you can see from my pic below, I have a terrible habit of spending too much time on makeup and my hair always tends to go by the way side! So for that day it was wash, blow dry, brush and off I went. I'm lucky my hair is pretty naturally straight!

When we arrived in Edinburgh that evening, we got ready to go and hit the town immediately as you do! So quick makeup refresher and outfit change!
Outfit:
Dress from River Island, boots from Penneys and blazer from a stockist on Wish.com.
I did actually have a bit more time so I ran a straightener over my hair and flicked it over to show one of my little shaved sides :)

So finally, for the day of the wedding! The excitement!
Outfit:
Dress: A Jessica McClintock dress that I actually bought in Pamela Scott's about 6 years ago! It's a lovely dress and I had only worn it twice so I thought what the heck I'll recycle it!
Shoes: I bought these in the Shoe Rack online sale for €20, bargain! They were about 5 and a half inches high though so not the best idea for a full day of socialising.
Clutch: My favourite! I bought this on the Debenhams website for €30. I absolutely love it, it's so me! The multi colour means it will go with almost anything too. I took a picture of the inside of the clutch too, it had a great bit of room in there. When I go out I tend to bring everything but the kitchen sink so was handy to have some room in there.
Accessories:
Headpiece: This was my fave part of the outfit! I bought it in Penneys for around €3 and I just love it, it's really elegant.
Earrings: Pilgrim earrings, a present from my lovely Aunty Mary
Bracelets: An Alex and Ani that I got my from my wonderful sis Corah and a silver bracelet, again from my lovely Aunty (she spoils me!)
Rings: All Ti Sento rings that I purchased a few years back
Nails: House of Holland Stiletto style nails only €12 in boots. These were really sturdy too, I didn't lose one all weekend.
Makeup:
For my makeup I used the exact same products as the day before but the only difference was my eyes! So for my eyes I used my Urban Decay Naked 3 palette for transition and shading colours but I used Claire's Accessories glitter on my eyes (fixed with eyelash glue).
Also, I almost forgot! My tan for the weekend was the 1 hour Cocoa Brown one - my go to tan! Post coming soon on the tan and the products I use :)
The wedding was amazing, I had such a great time and met so many wonderful people! It was a fantastic venue - the Signet Library - and the little bits and pieces that came with our seats were so thoughtful and beautifully laid out.
