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...

I have had el.f’s  Waterproof, Lengthening & Volumising Mascara in my mascara drawer for six months now. It has remained unused and therefore unloved. I decided it deserved an opportunity to impress. I wasn’t expecting much to be honest. I’m far from being a make-up snob but...

I’m back to share some goodies that arrived from Eyeko last week, as promised. I was very late to the Eyeko party. So many YouTubers and bloggers rave about their range so I’m chuffed to have the opportunity to try their products. Here is what I received and my initial impressions: L...

Before I went away I ordered a few lip products on ebay. Three of them arrived in this mornings post and I felt the need to share them with the world – Ok, so maybe not the world, rather the beauty junkies who inhabit it :) Did I branch out and try something exciting? No, in fact these three...

I’m not sure how I feel about felt tip eye liners. I think people  usually love them or hate them but I’m on the fence. The idea is great in theory but I love the ease of a gel liner and the sexiness of a smudged kohl. Eyeko sent me their Grafitti Liner to try and I have been putting...

Since I love Penneys (Primark) brow kit so much I decided to see what else they had on offer makeup wise. Enter the cheapest primer ever! It’s appropriately named Prime of Your Life. I think it costs €3. The packaging is quite cute and from the swatch is feels light and creamy. It evened out...

I hadn’t tried any Eyeko products when I go this mascara so I was excited to try a brand that was new to me. I had heard good things about this particular product and their glow cream. Firstly, I gotta’ say I love the packaging. It is what appealed to me first about this mascara. A lipgloss...

I finally bought Revlon Photoready Foundation. Here are my thoughts and an application demonstration: Have you tried this yet? What’s your thoughts? *UPDATE – It’s Septmber 2010 and  this is still my everyday foundation.

I’ve never tried any Pixi products, although I did order a lip palette from beautycrunch a few weeks ago. This is their smokey eye palette that includes concealer. It’s cheap and cheerful but I have to say, it’s not bad. This is a good beginners smokey eyes kit. I like the eyeshadows,...

Usually I’m a little put off by products like this one, the ‘everything in one box’ sort of  product. From previous experience the standard of such boxes are usually quite poor. I was a little surprised to come across one that I actually enjoyed using. It is by Pixi and this particular...

I love looking at other bloggers’s FOTD so I decided to contribute. Here’s my mug today… Cheeks: MAC Strobe Cream on cheeks under my foundation. I applied Benefit Hoola under my cheekbones and Milani Luminous blush on the apples of my cheeks. I finished with a very light dusting...

I have heard so many good things about Eyeko from fellow bloggers and YouTube gurus. It’s a brand that I have never tried. I picked up the highlighting cream in Superdrug a few weeks ago only to put it back 5 minutes later, after all how many highlighting products does one girl need? Turns out,...
