Foundation review time! I have been trying out Avon Anew Age Transforming Compact Makeup SPF15, wow what a mouthful. I have a bit of a love hate relationship with Avon products. This one was a gift from my aunt last year. It has stayed in the bottom of my makeup drawer but last week I decided it was...

Velvet Teddy was my first MAC lipstick. I bought it years ago in Dublin airport on my way to a wedding in the UK. I asked the sales assistant for a Bridget Bardot nude. I was running to catch my flight and I didn’t have time to have a closer look at it. I just paid for it and ran. I was a little...

I need to say a  huge thank you to all of you that took the time to vote, leave me lovely comments and tweet me. Thanks to your support I won an iia Net Visionary Award last night for Makeup & Beauty. Left to right: Maeve Kneafsey, IIA Chair; me; Keith Mahon, Ireland.com – category sponsor;...

I have a new fondess for body spritzers. I have built myself a little collection of body sprays, mainly from Victoria Secret.  I tend to spritz them on my clothes even if I’m wearing perfume. I know that doesn’t make sense but I love nice smells. On occasion I have even used a body lotion...

I have always had a variety of coats in my wardrobe but last year I had to do a major clear-out. Nothing in my press fit me anymore and as result every coat that was even a tiny bit too big went to the charity shop. Replacing my clothes was an expensive pleasure but basics took priority. When it reached...

I get so many emails from busy mums who have no time to take care of their skin and apply make-up. Although I’m not a mum I am often late and in a hurry, usually in a flap! Here are a few tips for those of you who need to apply make-up on the run. I have chosen products that have multiple...

I have always admired Sienna Miller’s style but I have never really noticed her makeup…til now. I saw this picture of her at the Met Gala with a nice bit of arm candy, Jude Law (despite his shenanigans Sienna, I approve wholeheartedly) haha Her make-up is reminiscent of Bridget Bardot....

I have just covered myself in a new tanning product, well new to me, and thought I would share. Tonight’s  weapon of choice is Academie bronz’express. I got this in a gift bag from TV3 for being a guinea pig on their Celebrity Salon programme (Celia Holman Lee gave me a facial). I was...

I was interested in the John Masters Sea Mist spray with lavender after seeing Laura aka Lollipop26 use it in a wavy hair tutorial. It’s hard to find a good texturising spray that doesn’t leave your hair crunchy or greasy. This range is certified USDA Organic. I looked around and couldn’t...

I picked up Johnson’s Holiday Skin Facial Moisturiser in Boots last summer. I was looking for a gradual tanner designed for use on the face, that wouldn’t give me a breakout or leave me looking tangoed. There are so many of these products on the market but I chose this one because it is...

I don’t usually post press releases on Makeup & Beauty but this one is for a good cause and it’s also make-up related… Attend the MakeupFabLicious Beauty in Pink Make-up Classes and Demos on Saturday 22nd & 29th May & Help Support The Marie Keating Foundation… MakeupFabLicious...

I mentioned in my Spring favourites video that I have been covering myself in Harajuku Lovers G edt. When I was tidying up after recording the video I couldn’t help but notice that this bottle stands out a mile from every other perfume in my collection. Yes I am talking about the tacky packaging...
