Lisa Loves...

Not so long ago I had an idea for a post that I've been dwelling on ever since.

We all have those moments when we see something on another girl and we think to ourselves "oh that's nice, I wonder where she got that". Some of us are brave enough to ask and others not so much. My idea was based around this thought!

As a woman I get really inspired by other girls and how they dress themselves or what products they use, hence the passion for blogging. Sometimes when you see something in a shop or online it can hard to visualise how it might work as an outfit, or how you would wear it. From my 8 years in retail I've learned that sometimes the things you would never even dream of trying on, actually end up being the nicest. So many things we normally wouldn't look twice at, then we see someone we know wearing them, and they are amazing on. So who better to get inspiration from but us everyday girls.

So my question is, would you girls be interested in a post each week like this? It would feature pictures and details of items I have seen on other girls throughout the week. (I'll be stalking girls everywhere I go :))

It would be called Lisa Loves....

Please let me know what you think, I really do appreciate any feedback whether it's good or bad xx

Thanks a million for all of your support so far x

Fabulous Friday Nov 13th

What an amazing response to last week's Fabulous Friday. It's fantastic to see so much support and positivity towards these posts and to the ladies envolved. I absolutely love writing them and getting to know the person and their story. Thank you to each and everyone of you for taking the time out to let me do this and for those of you who have read the posts.

Well another Friday is upon us and I cannot believe we are half way through November already. As some of you may know last Friday I got my eyelashes done, (a little treat to myself) and I cannot believe, the amount of people that have noticed, commented and complimented them. Because of this I thought it only fitting to do this week's Friday post on the fabulous and talented lady that worked her magic on me. So this week's feature is all about Pille from Crystal Lashes @ High Glamour.

It was about 8 years ago when Pille got her own lashes done back home, and she was amazed that someone had invented something this incredible. Pille fell in love instantly with the idea and the product. So she decided to do a course on eyelash extensions. Back then it was a service that was very new, and there was not that many technicans around. Fast forward a few years later and in 2011 Pille and her friend decided to open up their own salon. Which was a big risk as Ireland at the time, as we were in full swing of the recession. But they had a dream and they were ambitious.  

Just a little information on what they provide; 

Eyelash extensions are Pille's speciality. She does Classic mink lashes costing €50 and also volume lashes at €70. (I got the volume ones and im addicted) They also offer microblading 3D eyebrow embroidery. Its a semi-permanent make-up procedure which has become extremely popular within the last year. It lasts 12-18 months and is perfect for people who have hairloss problems, are dissatisfied with the shape of their eyebrows and/or just want to wake up with instant makeup every morning. Other services include threading, make-up, nails and hairdressing services in salon- cuts, colours, highlights and upstyles. Details on how to contact the girls are below

High Glamour

Add their Facebook page for details on offers, Services and also to book appointments 

Also add Crystal Lashes on Facebook for appointments, offers and more pictures (Christmas bookings being taken at the moment and filling up fast)

On a final note I just want to say that Pille is such a lovely person, a working mum, business woman, entrupenur. I really admire women like her. Not only did I receive fantastic service but for me quality is everything. A week later and my lashes are just as perfect as they day I got them. There are alot of similar services out there but you get what you pay for with Crystal Lashes. I know I'm now officially addicted 

Thanks Pille

Girls just want to have fun

Every now and again it's good to get glammed up, have a giggle and head out for a ould dance (god I sound old ) with the girls. So Saturday night that is just what I did, I put on the glad rags and headed out with a few friends. We had such a great night, but by far (and I'm sure most of you girls will agree) the best part of the night was 5 girls getting ready for the night out, crammed into my small "princess room" yes don't judge me, but I did say "princess room". Let me explain, in a house full of boys it's nice to have a little girly space to get away from all the testosterone 😅 What I love about these kinda nights is, getting to see what kind of makeup or techniques other girls use, the honest conversations about the everyday things in life, the gossip (gotta have a bit of gossip) and just in general being around other girls, especially when you live with all boys. It's good to get out and have some harmless fun every now and again. Life can be way too serious and stressful, we all need a little release.

So here are some few pics and outfit details from the night for those of you that are interested

I got my jumpsuit/playsuit in New Look, can you believe it was only €30, it honestly was the most comfortable thing I have ever worn out. I paired it with a pair of strappy black heels I got a few weeks ago in Penny's for €22. Again I purchased the necklace in New Look for 9.99 and the jewellery was buy one get one free, gotta love a bargain. Also got this plum lip stain in there for only €4, their make up range seems really good, I even went back in to get a nude pink lip stain the day after because this stayed on all night. Thanks to all the girls who recommended I wear the jumpsuit :)

Now this dear friend of mine doesn't normally wear dresses, not to mind sparkly dresses, but I think you will agree she looks HOT. She got this in New Look for €17.99. Yes €17.99, I couldn't believe it when she told me. I love a long sleeve on a short dress, plus this will be perfect for Xmas as well. The heels again New Look (we do love our New Look) were €29.99, I think the caged heel gives a nice edgy feel to the outfit. Bracelet is Coast. Love her hair and makeup too, she looks amazing. Proper babe x

We all love black and this LBD is gorgeous, Jade got this for €36 in our friends shop in Bray, it's called One Oh Nine. I did a Friday post on it not so long ago. Again a long sleeve, adore! Sexy draped neckline and you can never go wrong with black. The shoes are from TK max  (you see a trend with all the strappy heels) and were only €34.99, the necklace from Penny's €8, love the two lengths on this and how it shows off the neckline. She is a stunner....

Thanks girls for such a great night, it was just what the doctor ordered. There was plenty of LOLs 😂 and some scary flashbacks 😯 today. But the hangover was definitely worth it xx

Already planning the next one, anyone want to join? 😉
