Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all enjoyed the festivities over the past few weeks. Like most of I’m sure, my house is still chocker with boxes of sweets and yummies. Mine will be swiftly dealt out amongst my family before I savage through them. Santa treated me to a few new make-up bits...

I promised a video on my my mac neutral palette months ago. I’m only just getting around to it now. I know, I’m a disgrace. I’ll start with some swatches and leave the video at the bottom of the post…. Row 1: Phloof, Shroom, All That Glitters, Omega Patina, Mythology Row...

A friend of mine over at Universal has given me 3 MAC Stereo Rose Minealize Skin Finish’s to giveaway to celebrate the launch of the new movie Immortals. This giveaway involved a really lucky find at a CCO since Stereo Rose was a limited edition products and is no longer available. It sold...

Time for a favourites video! I haven’t recorded one in a few months and I have changed things up quite a bit since then. It’s quite long but I didn’t want to just say the name of the product and show it to the camera, I thought it would be more useful if I explained briefly why they...

There are lots of fancy ideas out there for storing lipsticks and lip glosses. Personally, I like to use things I have lying around the house. I had two watch boxes that were going to go in the bin after Christmas so I decided to salvage them and use them for lipstick organisation – man, I love...

I am obsessed with cream blushes at the moment – I sense a video coming :) I know lots of you are cream fans too. Those of you who had horrible allergic reactions to MAC’s Blush Creme’s  can rejoice! MAC have replaced them with Cremeblends. They are an entirely new formulation so...

A few of you have asked me what I will be buying from MAC’s Wonder Woman Collection when it launches in Dublin on Thursday. It got me thinking… First, let me say that I’m not a Wonder Woman fan. In fact, I’ve never seen the show, although I’m familiar with the outfit...

Happy Friday everyone! I’m feeling quite crappy today thanks to a chest infection so I decided a ‘Friday Waffle’ was in order since I can’t seem to focus, or string sentences together for that matter. So here are some shallow things that are belting around my bunged up head: 1....

Why oh why did I wait so long to buy Painterly Paintpot by MAC?! I finally picked it up in Chicago in December and have used it every day since. I have a few paintpots in my collection and to be honest this is the only one I own that I would recommend. I once had Delft and Girl Friendly which are...

I have had an on off love affair with MAC’s Ladyblush over the years. Since I use it so often I thought it was about time it got a mention on my blog. Very often my most used products are the ones that are over-looked.     Ladyblush is a cream product that works best when...

I am in the process of moving all of my YouTube tutorial over to my blog. I came across this video I made last year on one of my favourite looks at the time. It occurred to me that I haven’t used that combination of pink and purple since then. Time for a revival me thinks! In the meantime here...

I have come across two great finds this week. Thought I’d share! Find #1 I picked up a very cheap gloss today that reminded me of a MAC Dazzleglass. This rather surprising find came from Penneys / Primark.   It’s called Gilt and it’s a shimmery, sheer gloss with gold...

The stippling technique for make-up application is quite popular at the moment. I was asked by a reader to explain the ins and outs of stippling and what I use. Just in case your new to make-up, stippling is a blending technique used to blend make-up. Many of us have stippling brushes in our make-up...

I had so many requests to record a tutorial on the look I was wearing in my video. It’s very easy and requires no skill what so ever – a bit of smearing-on really! I have listed all of the products below the video. Products I used:Face:Bourjois Healthy Mix FoundationMAC Select Cover Up...

I recently picked up MAC’s lipstick in Viva Glam I. Two words, sex pot!   This red is not just any red. It has a deep, dark layer to it. It’s rich but cool toned (yay for Irish skintones!). Even red lipstick lovers I know are a little intimidated by this one. Some swatches online...
