The Vintage Cosmetic Company.

I am a sucker for anything vintage or kitch and the aesthetic of The Vintage Cosmetic Company is absolutely my cup of tea.

And luckily it's not just about cute packaging with these bits, there are some lovely quality products in the pretty boxes as well. 

But back to the ridiculously cute design. We are talking vintage, floral gorgeousness here. Plus polka dots... POLKA DOTS!!! I am easily drawn in by aesthetics obviously, I blame the artist in me.

As I mentioned, there are some lovely products within the boxes but I'll start off with the one thing I don't love.

Winter Trends LookBook; Shiv's Style.

3 Dresses Styled for Winter!

Dress #1 from Aupie.com 

This awesome elephant print dress is 100% my style, I love the amber on black, cut-out sleeves and the intricate detailing at the hem of the dress. Plus it makes me very nostalgic, reminding me of the 3 months I spend traveling around Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam in my early 20's! In Thailand I visited an Elephant Sanctuary where they cared for rescued elephants and of course it's the only time in my life where I saw an Elephant in the flesh. I got to feed one and have a sit on one while it sauntered about. It was magical!!

"International Gems"; Makeup & Outfit Collaboration with VintageOrTacky!

Ahoy hoy ^_^

Recently, Cora from the super popular and fab VintageOrTacky Youtube channel contacted me about collaborating on a makeup & outfit video inspired by a necklace that both of us came to own! I bought mine from River Island here in Ireland and Cora got her's online.

(Turns out Cora bought her's after she saw mine posted on my instagram a few months ago, ha ha)

Ootd; "Fifty Shades of Green!" ft. Romwe, Newlook, Primark.

Howdy Guys,

It has been such a busy month for me so far mainly because of the Halloween makeup videos (which can take about 2 days each to complete from start to finish with set-up, filming, editing etc), as well as all my other work and that means a lot of hours/days spent indoors and plonked down in front of my computer...

Primark Haul!.....with a little TopShop & Swamp. (Shiv's Style)

Hey Guys :)

In keeping with 'not spending my entire bank account' this month, I've mainly just been visiting Penneys (Primark) to satiate my spending urges. A little goes a long way in there, and they have such an amazing selection of items to choose from now-a-days!!!

I've included a few bits I bought the in September also, and that includes my new favourite hat from TopShop too :)

The SammyDress.com items.....

Shiv's Style; "The Arrival of Autumn" Outfit of the Day... ft. iClothing.ie

Ahoy hoy!

As I mentioned before, I'm delighted with the change of season and as a result my change of wardrobe as this is my favourite time of the year. I have been updating my wardrobe to keep up with my taste rather than 'fashion' and of course the weather.

I styled the lovely new dress I bought from iClothing.ie to match my own personal style and incorporate an Autumnal colour scheme. I first showed it in a blog post last week.

See the dress here on the website... Now only €18.00!

Shivs Style; OOTD 'Lolita Doll' ft. Romwe & Koi Couture.

Hey Guys!

 Apologies for the poor lighting in the video, wanted to try out a new location for outfit filming and thought my bedroom might work, but it was a bit of a fail! ha ha. Watch in HD to help improve the impaired watching experience :)

Beautiful Vintage Print Dress & Sammydress.com.

Since I've started posting fashion videos on my LetzMakeup channel, various online clothing companies have been contacting me about their products and joining their blogging programmes (More so than before). I always politely declined any of these offers before I was filming styling & fashion videos, but now that I am & it's relavent to my channel, I am happily considering a few of the offers. I jumped at the chance to join the Romwe.com blogger programme as I've spent the past year drooling over the bits I've seen many of my youtube subscriptions and favourite fashion blogs showing off, from the China-based online brand. And since my first order, which was partly subsidised, I've not been disappointed. Now because of my happy experience with Romwe  I'm definitely interested in a few of the other companies who have approached me. 

(And let me say here for the record, as with my makeup work, I will always be honest about my experiences with companies and be transparent about collaborating)
