Blog sale featuring L'oreal, Illamasqua, Armani, Rimmel and lots more!

I'm having a wee blog sale. Being a skint student still on the job hunt (which is so hard, I have been trying everywhere and to no avail) so i'm selling off a lot of my stuff. I have an ebay page too if you would like to have a nosey.

All payments are to be made by PayPal, so leave a comment below with what you would like or email me below at niamhg23@live.co.uk because that is my PayPal address.

I will send all items 2nd class Royal Mail p+p. I will try and add as many items in the one parcel to keep the postage down. This will cost £2.60. If you would like it recorded then this will have to be extra. The books will be £3.00 and again, I will try to fit everything into one parcel to keep costs down.

If you are buying just single jewellery items then this will cost 90p (except the bangles due to the size and weight of them) with any extra items at 20p each. Again, if there will be multiple items then I will have to put it into a parcel which will cost £2.60.

A lot of my items are new and unused. Those that have been used have only been used once or twice, the foundation has really only been swatched as they are the wrong shade for me and are basically full. Any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

I am open to an offers or a combined price for multiple items.

Enjoy xx

My perfumes

Hi lovelies!

I thought I would do a little post on the perfumes that I have and which I love! Im funny about my perfumes, I hate light floral scents, they are not for me! Or scents that smell too citrusy, they make me sneeze uncontrollably, im looking at you DKNY!

I will not go into the whole top notes and base notes details of them all, basically because I dont know what they have and I dont understand it. I love a scent that is luxurious and one spray will last the whole day, so im attracted to heavier, muskier and woody scents. And these are basically my go to scents, I dont have one perfume that my friends would associate me with as they associate all of them with me ha! I definitely spray according to my mood and to the clothes that im wearing, that sounds daft but everything has to work for my whole outfit. I dont want to be wearing a killer outfit that is making me feel strong and powerful with full red lips and sky high heels with a weak, floral scent as it would upset my whole look and depresses me.

So in no particular order I LOVE:

Jean Paul Gaultier classique EDT
Prada Candy EDP (Love this!)
Roberto Cavalli EDP
Girorgio Armani Diamonds EDP (probably the sweeter scent that I own, but I surprisingly like it)
Lacoste Pour Feme EDP (very light, doesnt have great lasting power but its beautiful, like a soft powder)
Ghost EDP
Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb EDT (this is my 'special' scent, already asking for the EDP for my birthday)
Vera Wang Princess EDT

I also own Thierry Mugler Alien that I usually wear daily but that is in one of my many handbags.

And I also love Fan Di Fendi by Fendi, that is a proper grown up scent with undertones of leather that just blew my mind! Mother has bought me that for a gift so I dont own it just yet.

Out of all the perfumes I would have to say that Jean Paul and Vera Wang have been the longest love affairs that I have, they are always put on my Christmas list and have been wearing these since I was 14. The others are definitely becoming my signature scents that I will definitely be buying again, I always get compliments when wearing them which is what everybody wants.

I always carry perfume with me, so its a given that in every of my bags you will find perfume, handcream and lip balm.

I dont have a fancy shelf or dressing table to have them on display unfortunately as my room is too small, so they are kept in a little drawer away from direct light and heat that can ruin the fragrance. I love opening this drawer and having a little rummage of what I should smell like today :)

What do you think of my collection? Do you own any of these scents or what do you prefer?

Lana Del Rey outfit

Lana Del Rey outfit by niamhgoodwin featuring christian louboutin shoes
 

This outfit has been inspired by the one and only Lana Del Rey. I am going to see her on monday 27th May in Dublin's Vicar street and I cannot wait! I have never been so excited to see hear somebody in my entire life, I have a majassive girl crush on Lana, I like to call her 'my girl'. So I'm hoping that she comes out in a long vintage dress, perfect waves and red lips and just be the old Hollywood-esque siren that she is! I will not be amused if she just sticks on jeans and a top, no Lana let me see glamour! So this is my dream outfit to wear for the night, I actually am in a style rut as to what to wear, I want to make an impact yet I will have to keep in my mind I will be travelling by train and bus so comfort is needed. Ah well, this is my dream outfit complete with diamonds and Christian Louboutins (that I only own in my dreams!) The only part of this outift that can become my reality is this beautiful China Doll Boutique dress at only £45. I love the optic illusion element to it, and obviously its very detailed neckline, it is stunning! And very Lana :) and you can get it right here

what do you all think about my outfit?

Look of today-earrings

I LOVE earrings!! Its my go to piece of accessory that I always make sure I am wearing when leaving the house, infact ive even planned my outfits around certain pairs to ensure they have full impact and are always on show.

So trailing through a few looks I can across this image and what really stood out to me was how the earrings played a central part in the assorted looks and took central position. They really grab your attention and focus in on the face, and with a stunning pair of faux sparkly diamonds they can really illuminate your face and make your eyes shine! If youre having a bad hair day and just scrape your hair into a bun, a gorgeous pair of drop earrings will distract the eyes to them and immediately you feel more chic and comfortable with your outfit.

So I really loved these tassel earrings which I have been admiring for a while, and the only place where I can really find them online (I havent really looked in any shops in town) at an affordable price was Argento. I love Argento and I'm lucky that I live in Belfast were the owner, Peter Boyle, originally set up his first shop and also have a sale shop were I always buy fabulous chandelier earrings at an amazing price. Their loyalty card is always a bonus, just a few more stamps away from a few pounds off my next purchase :)

So here are two images taken from Argento's website that I have found that fit in with the tassle trend that I am loving this season! I loved the dark red pair, but there are an assortment of colours and the dark gunmetal ball and chain pair really caught my attention!

So what do you think? Do you love earrings as well or can live without them? What is your go to accessory?

Oscars 2013 Jewels

Hello darlings!

 

 

So another quick post on the Oscars 2013 only this time its on the jewels! As all of the dresses were magnificent, you could barely get a sneaky peek at their shoes, which is always a shame so instead I've decided to focus on the diamonds! The lucky things not only get to wear custom made gowns or dresses straight off the catwalk, but they also get to wear hundreds of thousands, and sometimes millions worth of jewels!

 

 

So here are my top pick of last nights sparkle:

 

 

Jennifer Aniston wearing Fred Leighton, and a cheeky wee glance at her engagement ring, oh! But in love with these bracelets, beautiful.

 

 

Both Oscar winners of the night, Ann Hathaway and J-Law, opted to wear their chains backwards and this is a trend that will catch on. As somebody mentioned on twitter last night, the sound of clinking is everybody turning their chains backwards. I oddly like it. It adds drama. Drama is good. Ann wore Tiffany and J-Law (loving this name!) wore Chopard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Zoe Saldana's beautiful pearl dropped earrings on a string of diamonds add the right amount of glamour, sparkle and sophistication to that beautiful dress of hers. Drop earrings are always a must to ensure they will be seen and draws attention to the best proportions of your face; the jaw line, lips, cheekbones and eyes. These are Neil Lane.



 

 

 

Jessica Chastain's vintage Harry Winston diamonds just add to her overall old Hollywood glamour that she was emulating, and successfully if I may add. She was my favourite look of the whole night and could not get over how beautiful and dreamy she looked. I think this will definitely go down in Oscar fashion history. Stunning!

 

 

Now this I LOVED! Jen Garner has never really 'wowed' me in the past, her Gucci dress was gorgeous if a littly tricky on the proportions as the rouching at the back could have looked disastrous or that she was trying to be a butterfly, but somehow she made it work. this necklace however took my breath away. Look at it! Look at it in all of its glory! A proper princess necklace that looks like it has been borrowed from the vaults of Grace Kelly, it combines both the elements that is needed for royalty and a movie star that would have suited the late legendary icon perfectly! Good call Jen, good call!

 

 

 

 

So that is all for the Oscar 2013 talks. I havent seen much of the after party outifts but over all I have been somewhat underwhelmed by it all. Except for Jessica Chastain. It's all about her, shes the one! New style crush heeeeeey Jessica!

 

 

Bye lovelies!
