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,...

I picked up Loreal Double Extend mascara at the height of my mascara addiction. I have quite a few on the go and this one got lost at the bottom of the drawer.   Left: With mascara Right: Without I mentioned in a video that this product was a nightmare to remove. I received about a hundred...

I went in to Boots to pick up a prescription and eyelash tint. I’m afraid I didn’t stop there. I picked up some lovely things from Barry M, Rimmel, Collection 2000 and No 7. Here is the video if you’d like to see what I picked up. Thanks for watching!

It occurred to me that I should probably start thinking about anti-aging products. I do use SPF in the daytime all year round but I wondered could I be doing more. At the moment fine lines aren’t visible but I want to be prepared. The problem is that I’m still prone to  breakouts on my...
