90's Grunge

90's Grunge

90's Grunge by redlipsredhair featuring Madewell


With the 90's coming back in vogue, lots of things are making a comeback - not that some of them ever left, mind you!! Beanies, chokers, scrunchies and tartan are all making a major reappearance, and with Autumn making its presence known here in Ireland, it's time to embrace the warmth of the late 90's. 

My two favourite facets of the 90's style are the comfortable slouchy pieces and fitted grunge fashion. 

Teaming black skinny jeans with a classic, loose-fitting red plaid flannel shirt and Dr Martens is the quintessential aesthetic of the 90's. Pull a beanie over your wild bed-head and you're there! Extra style points for the stretchy chokers we all coveted as kids and some cheeky stud earrings. Of course, if beanies aren't your thing -we don't all have a head for hats!- you can throw up your hair into a high ponytail and wrap a scrunchy around it. 

This is my favourite 90's trend at the moment, though admittedly I wear this kind of thing regularly, perhaps I've never quite let go of my love for my decade! 

What is your favourite comeback trend from the 90's??

Review: Water Wipes

Every time I pass these wipes in Tesco I come up with an excuse not to buy them... Well not any-more!

These wipes are wonderful, not necessarily for the removal of a full face of make-up, because we all know wipes are the worst thing you can put near your skin, but for refreshing and cooling, as well as eradicating those last dregs of mascara? You betcha!

These are absolutely amazing, totally unscented and don't burn in the slightest. I tested them myself, as well as made Chris play the guinea pig too, and he said that they were extremely sensitive, didn't irritate his skin in the slightest and were "grand" all around. He used them to cool off after refereeing a rugby match and they did their job perfectly, taking mud and sweat off his face, cooling him down and refreshing him until he got home to shower. 

Now while they are handy for taking off make-up in a pinch, I would stress that they don't really warrant usage on the likes of waterproof mascara and eye-liner, you need a proper cleanser for that. Water Wipes will take off the bulk of the foundation and other light eye make-up but they will need following up with a cleanser. 


All in all, a great little multi-tasker and well worth an investment.
