Looking for something?

An everyday bright lipstick

Fuschia flash

We all need one – a bright, almost garish, lipstick that we can bust out when we want to turn a few heads, or to make ourselves look less knackered in my case! When I want to feel classic and a little bit retro I lean towards a deep red lipstick but when I’m feeling a bit like I haven’t slept in ten years then I  go for something a bit mad, as my mother would say.

The mad in this case, is Fuschia Flash by Maybelline. I have been informed that it is an exact dupe of Candy Yum Yum by MAC for those of you that might be interested! It’s a deliciously smooth, super pigmented shade that applies as bright as it looks in the tube. It doesn’t dry out the lips but it’s a little bit weak in terms of wear, unless you really work it in as a stain when you first apply it. It’s not too hard on the wallet at Dhs52 and the texture of it is so pleasing that I’m planning to have a closer look at Maybelline lippies.

What’s your favourite uber bright lipstick? Share and care! 🙂

I’m calling it now, this is the best makeup bag I’m calling it now, this is the best makeup bag ever 😆 

Fits loads of products, keeps them separated, super sturdy, wipes clean, and less than €16. I love it 👏🏻

Camera roll from a trip to Milan with @relife_irel Camera roll from a trip to Milan with @relife_ireland 🇮🇹 

1. Nothing gets me like a pristine hotel room. This is @nhcollection Milano CityLife. 

2. The weather on arrival in Milan. We were all confused / incorrectly dressed 😆 

3. Skincare lineup. 

4. The incredible Duomo. 

5. Pre-dinner drinks with the Irish and Italian @relife_company teams at the beautiful Villa Torretta. 

6. Cute Milano buildings 🪴 

7. The @relife_ireland launch of KP1 Definisse. A line of products formulated to slow down the loss of collagen in our skin. 

8. The loveliest hole-in-the-wall wine bar where we whiled away our last evening 🍷

A quick post to thank you all for the lovely messa A quick post to thank you all for the lovely messages, I’m still working my way through them (and some I’ll save forever) 🥰 

I’ve wanted to work in skin for the longest time, so finally being on the path to achieving that dream is surreal and incredibly exciting. 

I’ll share how things are going along the way, although I fear this may induce Leaving Cert type nightmares 😆 

Coming to a skin clinic near you in 2024 🤞

Let’s reset with @loccitane_uk_ire ❤️ Alon Let’s reset with @loccitane_uk_ire ❤️ 

Alongside the iconic Immortelle Overnight Reset Oil-in-Serum, I’m using the new and improved Immortelle Divine Cream. 

A natural alternative to retinol, this beautiful moisturiser contains four different immortelle plant extracts that plump and hydrate the skin,  and help correct and prevent the signs of ageing. 

Last but not least, L’Occitane’s first ever targeted product for the neck: Immortelle Shea Neck Cream. Gentle and nourishing, this hydrates the delicate skin on the neck while helping to smooth fine lines and wrinkles. 

Spend €50 at ie.loccitane.com and use code SIMONE at checkout for a free Immortelle Clean Skin Trio with your order.

The only reason I’ve been able to grow it this long and keep it looking healthy is because of @katecrowley123 👑 

She made me get trims when I didn’t want to 😆 and introduced me to the power of @k18hair. 

I want to grow it another couple of inches, so the at-home routine is stepping up a notch from today 💪 

Big thanks to the lovely @hessionhairdressing team for asking me to be a Brand Ambassador some time ago. It was one of the best days of my life 🤣
