♡ my swimsuit collection 2016 ♡

Hello guys.

And so today Im going to show you my swimsuit collection.....all of them are bikinis by the way.

.stay to the end because I have so news that Id like you to read.

This coral & white vintage(est)bikini is from Primark a.k.a Pennys , I got it this year about two months ago the fabric is sort of tethered.It has a coral bow in the middle of the cups and white tie bows on either side of the hips.There is coral scalping with white under it.
The bottoms are €5
The tops is €9

This bikini is from Primark AGAIN!I love this one its colour block I wish I waited a while untill I saw the other colour because I think I would of got the teal,white and purple one.
Once again it was the same price as the other one and I got it at the same time too.

This one is just a top because I got some bottoms from another set for something like €2.50 but I sat on astro turf on holidays and it like bobbled up so I can't wear them anymore.
I got this top last year in Primark (penny) so it might not be there anymore ... sorry:)This has such a cool back so you would get amazing tan lines.The top has like a flowley patterned top with a mint green under top.

Now I've had this one for 2 years and it still fits me!!!! It is a very very very bright coral almost neon pink (ish) red (ish)This is from the kid section in Primark.It has 3 rows of ruffles on top's front and 1 row of ruffles on the bottoms all around.At the back of the top is kind of stretchy .

This one again is about 2 years old and from Primark, surprise ,surprise.This is a pink bikini with orange lace on top, the back straps gave me the best tan lines ever!

I hope you enjoyed this weeks post I took down last weeks one because I wasn't that pleased with it, it was very rushed and little.For the next two weeks I'll be away in Greece so I've prepared two blog post for each Saturday when Im away so hopefully it will post but if it doesn't DM me on Instagram , snapchat me on my snapchat or tweet me on my twitter , because the wifi there is crap!Ive set the times for them to go u but i don't think it works very well.love you guys ♡ xx

How MAGCON works & my experience

Hello guys.



Last week I asked you guys if you want to hear about my MAGCON experience so here it is.
Hope you guys enjoy stay tuned till the end because I may have some news.

Me and my friends ,Rebecca ,Molly ,Caoimhe, Aisling and then Molly and Rebecca's dads went.
So we had to be there at 2 pm to queue  since we had  priority tickets, we were suppose to get in at 4 pm. 

The queues: There was 3 queue  one at the front of the building for the normal tickets ,then by the side of the building there was 2 queue  for either priority or VIP witch was ended up behind the corner (say tuned for tips at the end too.)As we were queueing the camera people walked around with their cameras to take video and photos for their website and social media sites, they also used a drone to take photos too.We ended up queue ing until 5:30.


When you go in: When you go into the room their is loads of smoke but you do get used to it.Theirs seating above you and behind you for parents and people with family tickets NOT VIP TICKETS while the children go off into the standing area .Your waiting for a while until Bart (the creator of MAGCON) comes out and makes all the children say thank you to their parents for bringing them.

How they enter: Music plays ,balloons fall they come out with loads of excitement and jumping around, singing, dancing and saying hello to your county. Then Colby James (the persons how on stage for most the time) does a little competition with the crowd and the dj Christian delgrosso to where they make them say MAGCON very loud.Then they explain how MAGCON works (I'll get to that in a minute.) Next the boys take turns to go on the stage but I do warn you hunter, Brandon, Blake aren't really on stage a lot it's mostly the other boys take turns but they come on in different parts when they all come on the stage.Theres also another competition for the friend to win VIP Tickets for free and a chance to go on stage too ,a dance competition too but you don't win tickets :( 


My experience: I love it so much. Me and my friends are a lot smaller since the age group is quite high from maybe 14-20 and we are only 12 so you could imagine we were getting pushed back a lot , but we managed to get the the front in the end. Your not allowed to bring water into the concert that you brought from home but they do have free massive plastic glasses of water at the bar. Please drink it because you get boiling.The  security  Guards are amazing they give out to people for pushing which there is a awful lot of + if you get super hot they give you a glass of water or bottle, you just have to ask!And if you faint or look like your a out to you they will pull you and your company out and help you.I danced my heart out , it's the best thing to do ,don't care about what the other people say , even your friends because if your having the time of your life don't stop! I got so hot I felt like I couldn't breath , I couldn't hear any of my friends trying to calm me down I actually ended up capsizing in my friend's dads arm's.I had to sit outside for some air, But that was only me, don't not go because of that little thing that happened to me. The support acts came on last which was so emotional because we all new it was the end of MAGCON , then all the boys cam out and I think everyone cried 😭 There is merchandise from all the guys at the shop which is quite expensive just like everywhere else but it's well work it . I went to the Ireland one since I live here it's was amazing , I recommend it to everyone who has the chance to go. It lasts a long time since you get there at 2 ish the show starts at 6:30 and ends at 10:30 pm. Even the parents loved it.

How to VIP tickets work: so during the show the boys will make everyone look at their VIP paper bracelets they were given at the door which has a letter like A,B,C and they call it out so then you go.... So basically the meet and greet is during the show so that why some guys don't come on as much as others . I know some mothers were annoyed because they thought since they paid extra they got better seating too which they didn't so just keep that in mind.

My tips: 
. Drink a lot of water 
. Mind your phone , because one girl lost hers.
. Be ready for pushing and people just being rude.
. Don't let people say "oh I just need to get to my dad,mom,sister,friend because most of the time they are lying just so they can get to the front.
. If you want to be albe to move and go to the front don't bring a big poster .... Or maybe a poster in general because they are a pain in the bum.
. Wear comfy shoes.
. Get ready for sore ankles after because all you do it jump.I remember walking to my car feeling like I wore high hells for about 100 years.
Ok guys so that all I think I have to say. Love some ideas for next week down below . Give me your feedback , Id love to know if this help somebody out , please tell me if I did.
Guy I also have a Younow should I go live one night.

7 underrate makeup brands

Hello guys.


Most girls...(and some very girly guys) love makeup but as you all know it can get expensive QUICK!Too Faced and Urban Decay for exspaple, great brand and worth the price don't get me wrong but €50 for a lip stick is a bit expensive.So thats why I made this blog post, 1 to show girls starting off with makeup that you don't need to go splashing your cash for something you don't need YET or don't know how to work properly.2 and that theres great brands selling basically the same thing but for a fraction of the price.

Brand 1: essence
This is a brand that I see every time I go to the shops.I've tried a couple of their products, the nails polishes are amazing and right now they have great summer colours.They have so many lip produces such as lip glosses,lipsticks,lip liners and lip balms.If you look on their website and maybe some shops you will see their amazing cheap pallets.

Brand 2:milani
Now Ive never tried this brand but some bloggers talked about so I thought I might mention it to you guys  anyway, their packing is GOALS!Its quite cheap too.

Brand 3:l.a. girl
This brand seems to be on back order everywhere and on every beauty Youtube video and blog.Their colour correctors are the most famous thing ever and they have this brick colour palate that looks like the Naked one.


Brand 4:pacifica beauty
Once again never purchased this put I've heard a lot go great things about it.Its a little bit on the pricey side for me but then again  €14 isn't that bad.

Brand 5:colour pop
This brand is raved about 10000 times a day, there eyeshadows and lip glosses are the most loved ,with the hundreds of colours.And my,my, my is it cheap!

 
Brand 6:black radiance makeup
I think this is a very dark and berry colour brand but then you dig deeper into the website theres pink lip sticks! Plus most of the lip sticks are €1.99.
Brand 7: e.l.f.
This is one of the most affordable brands out there like €7 for 32 eyeshadow just blows my mind,and with their new line of colour correcting and since thats the new rage Im sure its going to be good.

Brand 8:lox beauty

This brand was started up by 1 girl in her house and was hand made by her , the eyeshadow pressed by hand and all.

(sorry it won't let me show you a photo so just go to her website and tell her I sent you)

I hope you guys enjoyed this post and tell me is you want a blog post on my MAGON experience or what I wore or thought about it.
