This blog post will be short and sweet. My post on e.l.f’s 32 palette seemed to go down well so I decided to do a similar post for their Natural Palette. So I tested the palette out yesterday. Here are some photos, swatches and my thoughts…       My...

many of us spend a fortune on mascara’s. There are some that only suite certain occasions, times when you need a waterproof formulation but don’t have one, on top of this they need to be disposed of quite frequently. For this reason I don’t spend my money on high end mascara’s....

The postman delivered a box of fun today! Inside were Christmas goodies from e.l.f and my very first Christmas card (does this mean I can decorate now?). The excitement grew once I saw pink tissue paper. I’m such a girl! Ok, so pink paper hastily ripped away…     A...

The postman delivered some Eyeko products this morning. These are among my favourite packages to receive :)     Fat Balm in Cherry Described as slicks of juicy colour infused with light reflecting particles, Fat Balms are fun – I couldn’t  love the packaging more!...

No 7 have launched their Christmas Limited Edition collection. I thought you might want a little look since No 7 is so accessible. MirrorBall Highlighter Compact (limited edition) MirrorBall Palette MirrorBall Lipstick MirrorBall Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencils Christmas Glitter Mascara Christmas...

Those of you who know me at all will know that I have a fondness for nude lipsticks. Not the pasty nude the drains the life out of you but the natural ‘I wish my lips were this colour’ shade. I have a ridiculously large mountain of nude lipsticks that I couldn’t possibly work through...

I promised I would blog about the make-up goodies I picked up at BITE (Beauty Industry trade event) last weekend. My first stop was the Boujois discount stand. They had a great offer on…one I could not resist :) I choose 5 items for €10. They didn’t have the full range by any means and...

I picked up a couple of Essence lipsticks in the cosmetic isle of my local supermarket the other day. I chose the lightest pink called Frost and a medium pink called Kiss You. They cheap and cheerful but are they even worth €2? Here are some pictures… L to R:  No.01 Frosted and No.43 Kiss...

One of the items I recently received in a swap was the Gosh Velvet Primer. I was very excited to try it out since I have been looking for an alternative to my Laura Mercier Primer which is very expensive. Firstly let me say that I really like the packaging. I also love that it has a pump. On first...

I recorded a neutral everyday make-up video tutorial using my sister as a model. I used only affordable, drugstore make-up. This is perfect for teens or anyone who is new to make-up and on a budget. Products used: Miss Sporty Light Energy Radiant Look 001 17 Hideaway Concealer in Extra Fair Maybelline...

I have been hearing about new cosmetic company, FYF , through the grapevine. I was intrigued by their blushes, particularly the 3D flower type. Well luck for me I was sent a few things for blogging consideration. This isn’t a review, more a show and tell of sorts :) And some close-ups… Moisturising...

I had some fun playing with the Sleek Storm Palette today (video will be up tomorrow). So for now it’s swatch and feedback time! Sleek Palette – Storm This appears to be the most neutral and therefore the most versatile palette out of the four I have. There are a few matte shades which...

A few weeks ago on Twitter I gave out about the fact that Sleek make-up was not available in Ireland. It was mainly their palettes that I was interested in as I have heard so many people rave about them. For those of you that haven’t seen Sleek products, like me, it’s sold in Superdrug...

E.l.f (Eyes Lips Face) is one of those brands that we hear YouTube guru’s and bloggers talking about frequently. It’s super cheap and they offer a wide range of products. I was sent two of their $1 Shimmer Eyeliner Pencils for consideration. Here is my tuppence worth. e.l.f  Shimmer...

I blogged about the phenomenon that is the lavender lip look. I was unsure about the trend at the time and was in fact too chicken to try it. Not anymore! Today I bought Barry M Lip Paint in 129 whilst in Boots picking up my multi-vitamin. It is lavender! Who’s a brave girl then?! It’s...
