NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser SPF 30/PA+++

With all this glorious sunshine over the last few days, I want to wear something a little lighter in texture than my usual foundation - Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation. I still want to achieve a nice even coverage, and I want to incorporate an SPF to avoid sun damage, so I turn to one of my favourite make-up lines NARS for their amazing Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser SPF 30/PA+++.

A Candle Fit For A Princess...

I've always been fascinated by the beauty and elegance of Grace Kelly. My mother looked after her when she stayed in the hotel my mother worked in during her official royal visit to Dublin in the '60s. A story where your mother meets a real life princess, is one any young girl can’t help but love to hear.

With Love, Ireland

The buzz for St Patrick's Day is building here in Ireland, so I want to send some greetings out to friends and family. Yes, I could just text or tweet, but I think it's far more personal to send a card.

All the pretty purses

I love wandering around the shops when the Spring Summer collections have arrived. The sudden burst of colour across the rails is a feast for the eyes as you discover what this season's palette will be.
