It’s been a while since my last morning waffle so I felt the need to offload some of the shallow stuff. Here are some things that are on my mind this morning… 1. Sugar Coma’s Halloween is upon us and that means my house is chocker block full of junk food. I’m not watching...

I made a little tv appearance last night on RTE’s Off the Rails. Each week Brendan and Sonia give a lucky lady a make-over, this week was Anke’s turn. I was invited along to do Anke’s make-up for her big reveal and give her some make-up tips. You can watch the episode here You...

Here in Ireland Centra are selling pink mittens for women and girls in all of their shops for the month of October only. All of the proceeds go to the Breast Cancer Research Fund. They cost €5. I bought mine a few days ago and this morning I was glad of them – 1 degree Celsius? Lovely! I...

As you know from my previous post I was invited into The Body Shop on Grafton Street on Friday evening to meet their celebrity make-up artist, Karim Sattar. It was such a treat! I had a lovely facial after which Karim did my make-up using products from The Body Shop’s Winter Trend collection....

Cheryl has gone red?! It looks a little Sharon Osbourne red to me but then again I did have orange hair last year so who am I to pass comment :) What do you think? I hear that Cheryl used L’Oreal Casting Crème Gloss in Mahogany. (I also hear that it’s cheaper to buy it at Savers in the UK) You...

I decided to pay a last minute visit to BITE (Beauty Industry Trade Event) yesterday morning. I was trying to keep myself away so I wouldn’t spend money on make-up and nail polishes that I really don’t need… I caved. The Make Up For Ever stand had some special offers on make-up...

Estée Lauder are urging us to support the Breast Cancer Awareness this October by wearing your Pink Ribbon with pride. Seventeen years ago Evelyn Lauder launched Breast Cancer Awareness Month in the UK and in 1993 she founded the Brest Cancer Research Foundation dedicated to preventing breast cancer...

I have been busy soaping all morning, I tend to experiment with recipe’s and ingredients on Sundays. My kitchen looks like a bomb hit it at the moment but I had to take a break and share my new logo for Pink Witch Potions & Lotions which went up today :) My friend came up with a few adorable...

Yay! I have finally added a forum to the site. I have always loved the community feel on Make-up & Beauty so an answers forum will help our little beauty community grow. I can’t wait to get chatting with you! Best of all your contribution is rewarded. When you post a question or an answer...

It’s been a while since I had a perfume related rant. I do love perfume, a ridiculous amount. I sense you know where this is going. Yes, I bought myself a bottle of Thierry Mugler Womanity. I’m a little deflated so it’s time to share with the group! No matter where I took the picture...

I had my very first spray tan a few weeks ago. The fact that a beauty blogger has never tried one seems strange to people. To be honest I never gave it a second thought.I have been experimenting with tan since I was sixteen and I like to think that I can now apply it properly. This is the main reason...

I have a love hate relationship with Kohl. When applied well it can look sexy but when applied with a heavy hand and left unblended it can look very harsh. (thinking of a group of your girls I saw on their way home from school the other day!) In Summer I avoided Kohl like the plague. I wanted fresh...

On Friday morning Mr UPS, in his smashing brown shorts, delivered an exciting package. Luminess Air sent me one of their systems to try out. I thought I would give you a little look at what arrived. I have been wanting to try an airbrushing system for a while so I’m looking forward to figuring...

If you’re a hardcore reader of my blog you may recall me moaning about Vampira Polish by Eyeko.  When Eyeko sent it to me it was nestled in a bed of pretty shades that I loved, Vampira looked miserable in contrast. I may have called it dreary and wondered if it would look tacky since it...
