Our skin has been through a little wear and tear these past four weeks!! Everyday we are constantly taking off and re-applying make-up to be a fresh faced model for the next student, so it's no wonder we are breaking out so bad, so here goes.....

The lovely girls and our friends at college suggested we try "Tea Tree" oil!!

We went over to Boots to check it out and to out surprise there were a few offers on the 3 for 2!!! 

We Picked up an ***Exfoliating Face Scrub***  to use in the shower to get rid of all blockage, dirt and to totally cleanse the face!!

We got ***Shine Control Day Moisturiser*** as we have oily skin it's perfect for under our makeup!!

And finally we purchased this little **Spot Wand** !! It has a night and day application stick!! A two in one product that we were very impressed with!!

All of these were boots own brand containing 'Tea Tree" which we are loving and seeing results so quick after using them!!

Oh..... and we just couldn't leave Boots at that!!! We picked up some TRESemme Shampoo and hairspray!! One shampoo for Colour protection because we look after our locks!! And the other for Volume because we definitely need this one on a night out, we are big hair ladies!! LOL!!!!

Dublin Fashion Festival

So as you know from our pictures we attended Dublin's Fashion Festival, Samsung Awards on Thursday night last. We had a ball meeting lots of people in the fashion/makeup industry and got to witness some fabulous designers strut their pieces on the Catwalk!!!

We had the courtesy of joining our very talented friend Maria Lola Roche to watch her fabulous piece being showcased in the first ever Dublin Fashion Festival!! She was chosen along with eleven other designers and we were very lucky to be able to attend the event!

We chose a simple makeup look for this evening and nothing too fancy to wear as it was relaxed and casual.

For foundation we wore MAC studio fix. Not being much of a fan in the past as we usually applied with brushes we tried this foundation for the first time with the Beauty Blender. And low and behold we loved it. It went on much more smoothly then before and we just recommend this method for studio fix way more then others. You can also get the equivalent of the beauty blender on Cloud 10 Beauty. Real techniques are selling it for €5.99 here which is great value and much more affordable.

For shadow we used MAC Goldenrod, Blush we used Inglot no.67 in the Hawaiian range and lips we used W7 Mega Matte Lips available on EBay.

We didn't use any fake eyelashes this time as we were going for a simple fun look and less was a little bit more in this case.

We had an amazing time and was so much fun mingling with the crowd... Thanks to our Fabulous friend Maria for sticking us on the Guest List :)

Simple Nail Art

Admittedly we are not the Biggest lovers of nail art here at VII...Although we can appreciate it, we tend to go for more simple, pastel and natural shades on our nails but recently (when we had a bit of time on our hands) we thought we'd be a bit adventurous and give it a go!! 

We put up our finished nail art attempt on our facebook page (see image below) and a lot of you wanted to see how we achieved this look and the products used! You will not believe how simple this is to achieve girls yet it looks so effective and funky!

So first up you want to prep your nails for the polish by removing any existing polish and  filing etc...then apply two coats of your base colour and for this we chose a gorgeous pastel, lilac  from Barry M in the shade 308 Berry. 

Once the two coats have dried then we can start having some fun!! 

We picked up this Maybelline ColorShow Polish a few months ago as we thought it was really pretty and different but never got around to using it!

It's basically a polka dot, confetti type of polish which can be used on it's own, all over the nail (see image below) or as we chose over a different polish! 

Maybelline Colorshow on it's own!

So all we did was layer up two coats of the Maybelline Colorshow just half way down each nail to give a cute scattered effect...You don't have to be too precise with it girls just have fun!

Then we would advise to apply two coats of clear nail polish over the top to seal in the confetti/polka dots and your good to go! 

We used Bourjois 1 seconde gel polish over the top!

Not to complicated huh? All you need is a little time and some imagination...

The Maybelline Colourshow Polka Dots come in a range of different colours and are available from Boots and Superdrug!

Price: €4.65

We will definitely be giving this another go...Will you??
